Nightmares
Zoey lay awake in her bed. Rythian had recently gone crazy, trying to kill everything and everyone in sight. He had calmed down now, but he had advised her to stay away from him, just in case. Zoey couldn't sleep. No matter how hard she tried. Then she heard it.
"Zoey..." He mumbled. She ignored it. "Zoey?" He asked, stronger this time. She contemplated going to see what was the matter, but decided against it. "Zoey!" He was calling for her. He sounded...worried? "ZOEY!" He was panicked, and Zoey finally decided to chuck herself out of bed. She ran across the hall, stopping to open his door slowly. He was clutching the covers and tears were pouring down his cheeks, steaming as they fell. She stepped closer to him, sat on the edge of the bed next to him and reached for his hand. He immediately relaxed. "Zoey?" He asked, his voice quavering.
"Rythian," She whispered. "Rythian, wake up!" He didn't open his eyes, so she tried one last thing to wake him. She forced herself to cry, and let one tear drop onto his chest. He jolted awake.
"Zoey? What happpened? What's the matter?" He asked, panicked.
"Rythian. Its okay, nothing happened. You had a nightmare again," She said in her calmest voice.
"Oh yes, I remember," Rythian's dreams stuck inside his head, he never forgot one; especially the ones about Zoey. "I was so angry, I just had a bloodlust. You were near at the time, so in my anger I... I... I k-killed you." He struggled to say the last part. But before she could say anything, Rythian spoke again. "Zoey? Will...Will you s-sleep in here with me?" He asked.
"Of course! I've been waiting for you to say that," She responded. And so, that night, neither had nightmares.
