Yeesh, another new idea and I'm still trying to finish up my other fics too. I've got to stop doing this. Well, I hope that I don't get too OOC but this is my first try for a NBC fic. Also, I switch POVs a bit in this fic so I hope I don't confuse you.
A New Story
Chapter 1
I had another nightmare. But this time daddy wasn't there to get rid of it. Usually if I have a nightmare he'll make it go away, but he isn't home. I wish he was or that he had let me come with, but he said that he wanted to visit a friend and that if I came it would ruin the surprise. Daddy likes surprises. And this was a bad nightmare. Usually they aren't very bad, just things like me being chased by something big, like a cloth bag that has bugs falling out of it's mouth, but this time it was different, scarier. I was up in the air, but not really flying like Barty, my friend. He has bat wings. And then there was light, and fire, and I was falling, and there were toys falling around me, they were on fire. When I woke up from it I screamed and Mommy came in, but even she couldn't make it completely go away. Only daddy knows how to do that. But mommy can make sleeping potions so I'm feeling very tired again now. I hope the nightmare doesn't come back.
The next morning:
I was downstairs, making breakfast, when she slid down the bannister, shrieking like a little banshee along the way. She runs up to me and hugs me as best she can. She can only reach my thighs. As she sits down in her chair and I serve her breakfast I ask her: "How did you sleep last night?" She looks up at me, thinking that I should know that. I'm the mom, I know everything. Children are so trusting. "Well except for the nightmare I slept okay. The potion helped alot. Ooh, pumpkin waffles!" I put some breakfast on my plate and sit down next to her. As I'm about to eat she swallows the mouthful of waffles and speaks. "I had a different nightmare last night. It was scarier than the usual one." This is interesting, she's never actually talked about her nightmares before. "Y'see, in the usual one I'm being chased by a big cloth man with bugs coming out of his mouth." I'm shocked. Boogeyman is gone, how could she know enough about him to even have nightmare like that."But this time I was flying, but not like Barty. I was sitting in something. Then there were these lights and I was falling and there were these toys falling all around me and they were on fire. Then I woke up." I sat there, I was having a hard time believing this. She had just described the worst part of Jack's flight, and she had never even known about it. I need to talk to Jack, he ought to know something about these nightmares."Mommy, are you okay? You look scared." "It's ok Sara,I just remembered I nightmare I had once that was kind of like that." Except it was real.
In Christmas town(same day):
I finally convinced him!It took me a whole day, much longer than I had been expecting, but he's agreed to come with me! I haven't let on that I have a suprise for him when we get back home, well my home at least. I'm sitting in his right now. He'll be so surprised to see Sara! And I'm sure Sara will love to meet him. I read those christmas book to her so many times that she could make it look like she was reading it when she would just be reciting the entire story from memory. She's such a bright girl. I just hope those annoying nightmares haven't bothered her too much. They've seemed to take a special interest in her, which is quite displeasing. She never tells me what the nightmares are about though. Oh, well I guess he's finally ready. I just can't wait!
Well, I hope you will remember to review. And I will get the next chapter out quickly.(Mutters to self) Another fic, what was I thinking! I have what, 6 other fics to finish? Aiyah.
