It was coming. A huge creature so shrouded with black smoke that all she could see was its huge glowing red eyes and a mouth big enough to swallow Batty. She tried to run but was frozen in place. It was like the time when she was little and had snuck into a bullpen. But then Skye and Jeffery had been there to save her. There was no one now. The monster was closer. It was Dexter, the bull, and the boy at school who said mean things. Such mean things. But the teacher had yelled at him then. There was no teacher now. Only Batty, small and scared an alone. Little Batty separated from her sisters by an ocean of years. She was crying and screaming and it was almost there when…

"Batty!" a voice penetrated the dream. "Batty wake up you're having a nightmare!"

Batty opened her eyes to the darkness of her room. Someone was shaking her shoulders. In the dim glow of her night light she could make out the slim shoulders and kinky curls of her sister Jane.

"Batty are you okay?" Jane sounded nervous and worried and seemed even more worried when Batty began to cry.

"Shh…shh," Jane attempted to comfort her.

"Oh Batty, I have an idea, wait right here I'll be back," Before Batty could protest Jane was gone and back again, this time holding a small something in her hand. She gave it to Batty who inspected it.

It was stone, small enough to fit in her hand. It wasn't shiny but it did seem to gleam in the light. It was oddly shaped and a bit bumpy but it fit perfectly into her small hand. She stared lovingly at its irregular gray and white surface. "I found it in Quilgy woods near my Enchanted Rock," Jane explained. "It was just sitting there, lonely and forgotten so I picked it up and brought it home. It's a faery stone."

She must have seen the confusion on Batty's face, even in the dark, so she elaborated. "It has magical powers so it will keep nightmares away."

Batty was very pleased with her magic stone so she went back to sleep, clutching it in her little hand. Jane watched her for a little while, then returned to bed.

A/N: So basically each chapter will be a different character comforting her. If you have a specific character you want in there let me know in a review.
