Inside her room, it was late, close to midnight, and Selena had finally tried to fall asleep. The only exception is that she couldn't. Not with her own ability that the little Ravenclaw had considered to be a curse was in effect.
The visions. The future.
Normally, Selly would be able to hold back any sounds and force her body to become rigid as stone so she won't fall off the bed. But this nightmare wasn't like others.
This one had made her whimper and cry in her sleep while tossing and turning in bed without falling off. Obviously it was worse than her 'normal' ones. It was strong enough to cause bruises to appear on her pale skin.
At last, Selena fell off the bed which had woken her up instantly and took the blankets with her due to the fact that she had become entangled in the unnoticed blood-stained linen. After untangling herself carefully, she just wrapped herself in the blankets again then climbed back up the bed to fall asleep to allow this cycle run again.
There had been a sharp pain coming from her right leg as she climbed back up the bed but the little Ravenclaw was too tired to think anything serious of it. In reality, there was a short gash across it which was more than likely caused by the vision.
Who knows, maybe someone will finally notice this dangerous cycle?

Morgan was sleeping peacefully herself. Another romantic dream about Lucius. She was just getting to the part where he looked deeply into her eyes when she felt someone shake her awake. Amber eyes fluttered open, and came to rest on a tiny girl. Had Morgan ever been that small? The prefect doubted it. Morgan rubbed her eyes and sat up before asking, "What? What is it?" Ugh. Her voice sounded peevish and surly. The little girl backed up.
With huge eyes, the younger girl stared the sixth-year up and down. "Well, uh, S-Selena..." Her voice was high-pitched and shaky, and very nervous.
"What happened to Selena?" There was a note of alarm in Morgan's voice. Selena was like a baby sister to her.
"She's...I think she's having a bad dream. She is thrashing around in bed and moaning." Then, the tiny girl scampered out of the sixth year dorm. Morgan got out of bed, and covered her oversized quidditch tee with her fluffy pink robe and put on her fuzzy pink slippers. She went down to the younger girls' dorm.
"Selena?" She ventured quietly. She saw Selena fall on the floor and then untangle herself and crawl back in. The prefect went over to Selena's bed and sat on the edge of it. "You wanna talk about it?" she asked.
It was like Selena had been in a sort of trance when she had fallen off the bed and climbed back in without even checking her leg for any sort of problems. Her body had been so fatigued from days of no rest that the little Ravenclaw had easily returned to sleep as soon as her head met the pillow.
Her mind's ability to sense others had been shut off so Selly could sleep and unaware of Momo's prescence in the room. Even when the older Ravenclaw had sat on the edge, hopefully not the bloodied part caused by the gash wound on her leg, there was nothing there to prove that the younger one didn't even hear the question. Deep sleeper, Selly is.
Normally with her visions, they would repeat themselves inside her head until she wakes up in the morning but with the ones that can cause physical harm, it only happens once before switching to a 'milder' vision. Her power seems to be aware that Selly couldn't handle two dangerous visions at one time.

And Selena went back to sleep. Morgan was unsure if it would be right to wake her now. Perhaps she ought to wait until morning, and ask her about the nightmares then. Yeah, that'd probably be best. Morgan stood up to leave, and noticed a dark spot on Selena's bedsheet. She hadn't wet the bed had she? Morgan looked closer. In the dark room it was hard to tell, but it looked like blood. Oh no!
Morgan peeled back the covers. Selena's leg was bleeding freely. She re-evaluated her decision to let her sleep, and shook selena gently by the shoulders. "Selena," She said quetly, "Wake up. I need you to stay calm, okay? it looks like you cut your leg when you fell out of bed. Stay still and I'll fix it."
Morgan shifted her attention to the leg. An Episkey and a Scourgify should handle things. So, Morgan performed them in a trice. There. The wound had been healed and Selena's blood no longer stained the sheets or her skin.
Deep sleeping enough that little Selly didn't wake up when Momo had shaken her shoulder but at least she hadn't woken up and give her 'older sister' that one expression out of The Exorcist as that one Slytherin had described it when he had walked in on her having a vision in the library. In a way, that was her way of 'staying still' but it was kinda twisted once someone thinks about it.
The wound was no more but a faded scar on terribly pale skin. There was nothing on the bed that could have caused such a cut as it had first appeared like a dagger wound. There are no sharp objects like daggers in the room unless one can count the colour pencils but those were safely kept inside her bag.
