"Sing for it!"

It burned! They hit him all around.

*Crack* His ribs broke, and he screamed!

The hits continued to fall.

Her hand went up and his wounds hurt ten times worse! As if salt had been poured into them.

He screamed, He writhed on the floor.

"Sing for it! I can't hear you! I said SING FOR IT!"

And oh did he sing!

"sing for it!SING FOR IT!!SING FOR IT!"

"Aaaaaah!" He screamed, shooting up from his bed. His chest heaved as he desperately tried to breath. Her voice echoed in his ears. He tried to shut her out with his hands, but nothing worked. "No, no, no! Get out of my head!" He shook his head angrily, desperately trying to forget her voice.

When strong arms that snaked around him he jumped and thrashed, trying to get away.

"Hey, it's me! Gwaine, it's Leon!" Gwaine relaxed but his body was wracked with sobs as his mind continued to replay his nightmare. His breaths came out in gasps and his body shook. Leon didn't say a word. He simply sat there and held his damaged friend.

"Gwaine, what was your nightmare about?" Leon asked cautiously. Gwaine looked at his fellow with fear in his wide eyes, but Leon simply laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Gwaine took a deep breath and faced his friend.

"She said, 'Sing for it.'"
