Prompt:
Dear Santa,
I hear you are kinda like a genie. Granting wishes for us kids that have been good all year. I've been good. Mostly. I won't lie and say that I haven't had my moments that I have made poor decisions. I hope you will not hold those against me. I have good intentions, I promise, it's just sometimes I'm unable to control myself.
You see I am writing to you because I don't know where else to turn. I don't know what else to do. You see I am not like other kal kits. I don't need any shiny new toys or new ribbons for my hair. What I want is more complex than that. I want ---- no, I NEED a friend.
Someone who won't be scared of me and my abilities. Someone who's dreams won't hurt me like everyone else's. I need someone who understands my struggles. That will be there with me when I scream at night. Maybe someone good with band-aids too? I won't mind if they are broken too.
The other kals at the orphanage are scared of me. They call me a freak and a spazz. No one wants to sleep in the same room as me, which I don't mind that part. It keeps my nightmares away... or thier nightmares... I'm not too sure. It doesn't make much sense to me. All I know is it is all too real. Sometimes, in a particularly bad nightmare, I will wake up the next day with injuries. Ones like the ones I got in the dream. It scares me to think that I might die one day in my dream... and maybe never wake up. Trapped in a nightmare forever...
I just need someone who is brave. Someone who can teach me to be brave too.
Anyways, I'm not really sure how to end this...
Thank you?
Kalani

Extra:
Kalani is a dreamcatcher. Or at least she works like a dreamcatcher of sorts. You see dreamcatchers are supposed to trap the nightmares in their webs and only allow good dreams to flow down the feathers to the sleeper below. When Kalani sleeps close to another kalon, she will trap their nightmares and they will have only good dreams. However, this means that Kalani now is trapped inside their nightmares until they wake. She learns the deepest fears of any kalon close to her. The darkest moments of their past and to make matters worse, the nightmares often mix with her own causing much anxiety and sleep deprivation for poor Kalani. She often wonders if the nightmares are even really those of the people close to her or if she is just crazy... The uncontrolled power she has made her a recluse and untrusting of others. Most importantly its made her faith in herself falter. Making her feel like a deranged lunatic that should have a one-way ticket to the psych ward.
