#there also might have been a plot point that Bella’s species was minorly prophetic

Had another funky dream where I had an animal companion that was a very rare big cat who was incredibly rare and came from snowy mountains. She looked a bit like a mix between a mountain lion and a snow leopard, a sort of stone grey color all over and I loved her more than anything
It was known somehow that you had to have a pair of them so that you could declaw them and make them “safe” to be around as a pet. But my companion, her name was Belladonna and I called her Bella, was just... with me. She had her claws, and she loved me right back and I knew she would never hurt me
Important: I guess I had amnesia? I don’t remember where we met, or how me and Bella came to be companions. Also important: Bella could speak human language and also manifest wings to fly
Anyway later on this really sketchy dude captured me and a couple of others and have us a list of tasks/riddles/etc. to get through. We weren’t supposed to help one another because it was also a race. The first task was shooting the woman with red lips with a bow and arrow, the second task was answering what the last stage of a job interview was. It was really weird.
Anyway we had to race back to the lab, where I’d left Bella, to get some clue or whatever for the next task and I got to the door before I sensed... something? And went down the stairs at full speed to see who was going down on the other elevator
I remember thinking “this is what other people think when they see Bella” because I found myself bowled over by a very hostile magical big cat before Bella realized who I was - and there were others from the same species with her who were there the “rescue” her, but Bella told them that she loved me and I was a friend
I pulled out a photo I had gotten with the task list, it was of me holding her as a cub with a whole bunch of other cubs around my feet. I asked her if she knew anything about it, and Bella said that the photo must only have been taken a few days after we met, but she didn’t remember the other cubs at all and we were left with more questions than answers
I also remember taking Bella’s head in my hands and telling her that if she wanted to fly with the others, with her people, I wouldn’t stand in her way. I loved her, and I would always want what was best for her even if that meant that *I* wasn’t what was best for her
Then with that mystery in mind... I woke up lmao
