A noise came from somewhere in the hallway again, as I continued down the hall and towards the noise that had woken me up. Once i got to the room where the noise came from, Raven's room. "Raven, are you ok?" I questioned, slowly pushing the door open. A small whimpering came from the teen laying on her bed. Normally i would have yelled at anyone who woke me up but for some reason i stayed quiet and watched as the girl continued whimpering, and sniffling. Her hands tightly clenching the sheets, her knee's pulled up to her chest, as she took in shallow breaths, her lip's were parted slightly (What the hell). A noise from behind me caught my attention and i quickly turned around, Talon looked half asleep but still had enough energy to give me a questioning look.
"Ebon, what were you doing?" She asked glancing at the open door to Raven's room, before looking back up at me.
"I heard somethin an came to check it out, why?" I replied coldly. Talon shook her head, remembering better not to go pissing me off.
"Oh" Talon mumbled, i then walked back to my room as Talon went into Raven's. I let out a groan as i fell (purposly) back onto my bed and fell asleep thinking about the way Raven had been sleeping, a nightmare, that's what she must have been having.

"Hey, Talon c'mere" I ordered, as she yelled at Shiv who had once again been flirting with Raven who only shyed away more. Talon flew over to me.
"Yeah Ebon" She asked.
"What was with Raven last night, she ok?" I asked cautiously.
"O-oh, she was having a nightmare" Talon answered. I nodded and looked back to where Raven had been standing a minute ago, my eye's widened. Talon looked surprised as well, Shiv stood a few feet away from the door, looking confused.
"Where the hell did she go" I snarled, making both Shiv and Talon jump.
"I-I don't know b-boss, she just ran out" Shiv answered. I growled before warping out of the hideout and looking around. Footstep's echoed on the cement to my right, as someone ran past, I followed and watched as the figure looked back her eye's widened and she ran faster. I did the same. After awhile of running we came to a dead end, Raven whimpered. Her body shaking, her lip's partially open as she breathed, her fist's were clenched and once she pressed her back to the wall, she slid down pulling her knee's to her chest. Like last night.
"Raven" I mumbled walking closer only for her to curl up more. "Raven, I'm not gonna hurt you" I assured, while crouching down in front of her. She looked up at me, and quickly wrapped her arm's around my neck. I was shocked, Raven was hugging me, no one did that, especially not to me. Normally i would have freaked out or beat the shit out of the person hugging me, but instead i found myself leaning into her. I wasn't used to this. This kind of care, love?
"Thank you" Raven whispered as i wrapped my arm's around her.
