Nightmares

Alfred walked out of the doorway of the guest bedroom at Arthur's castle Dim moon light streamed through the diamond shaped window at the east end of the ancient hall. He walked toward the light and turned right. "Arthur, hey dude, you awake?" he said to the empty bedroom. Okay, then where is he?" Alfred thought. We should both be asleep. It's 2 AM."

Suddenly, Alfred heard a crash seemingly from the kitchen. He ran to see what was happening. When he reached the kitchen, he saw Arthur sitting cross legged on the floor staring at the wall and chanting gibberish. Alfred crawled up next to him and said "Hey buddy, what's on, you're scaring me." Arthur turned to him with his eyes closed and whispered "The fairies are leaving me."

"Why" responded Alfred.

"The fairies are leaving me, the magic is gone." Arthur repeated.

"Okay." Replied Alfred. He would wait here for his friend to wake up.

Then Arthur fell over on his side and started to snore. A few minutes later, Arthur woke and sat up. "What a nightmare," he said. "Why am I on the kitchen floor and why are you here?" he asked Alfred. You were sleepwalking and I kept you company." He explained.

"Well, I am going to my room." Arthur said. He got up to head back.

"Want me to keep you company some more. You don't look so good." Alfred offered.

"I am not a scaredy cat wanker like you." Arthur rejected him.

Well, I just thought this hero could scare away the nightmares." Alfred whispered.

"Well come on," Arthur relented. "You might as well. Not that I need you or anything."

The end.
