Nightmare

Nothing could be seen, except for darkness. A screaming voice could be heard in the distance. Elliot was standing there listening to the screaming. He started running, not knowing why or where to. But no matter how much Elliot ran, the darkness never went away. Then he eventually came across an image. But it was no ordinary image. It was an image that would haunt him forever. The image appeared before Elliot; with this the screaming became louder. The image was of Leo. He was screaming and crying over a body. From the look of it, the body was someone very important to Leo. This made Elliot's chest hurt. Everything about the image got worse, the screaming was louder. The thing that terrified him the most was the person who made Leo hurt so much. Elliot couldn't see who it was but whoever it was it made Leo very upset.

Elliot then woke up from this horrible dream. He sat up in his bed to find that he was crying. This took him by surprise; he didn't think the dream would make him this upset. Elliot quickly wiped them away. He then looked across the room to find Leo sleeping in another bed on the other side of the room. Leo was sleeping there peacefully; his face reminded Elliot of an angel. He then got up and walked over to Leo's bed. Leo's breathing was light and quiet. Elliot smiled and then started pacing around the room. The vision came back into his mind and had him worried about Leo. Elliot would walk back and forth in the room, trying to be as quiet as possible. He eventually calmed himself down and sat down next to Leo.

"I hope everything will turn out alright…. Whoever that person was" Elliot whispered lightly, trying not to wake up put his hand on Leo's head and brushed away his hair from his eyes. Elliot sat there silently smiling to himself.

"You know I'm awake right?" Leo spoke. Elliot then jumped up

"LEO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP!" Elliot screamed.

Leo leapt over to Elliot and pressed his hand against his mouth. "Shhh! be quiet it's the middle of the night you know!" Leo hissed, "Remind me not to scare you at night time again" Elliot calmed down and removed Leo's hand."Leo why didn't you tell me you were awake" Elliot said impatiently.

"That's because I woke up from a nightmare not the long ago. After that I couldn't go back to sleep. That's when you woke up so I pretended to be asleep" Leo said bluntly. Elliot felt embarrassed for not noticing the Leo was awake the whole time. "Well…. Next time let me know you're awake" Elliot said sounding annoyed. Leo shrugged at that statement "sure thing Elliot" They both started moving back to their own bed, but neither of them went to sleep. They both just sat on top of the blankets.

"Leo.. May I ask why you weren't going to tell me you were awake?" Elliot broke the silence. Leo turned to him. They couldn't see each other very well because the room was so dark. Even though the room was dark and they couldn't see each other, Elliot could feel Leo's blank stare fixed on him. "I don't know honestly. I thought I could see what was bothering you" Leo said.

Elliot was surprised at this, he didn't think Leo noticed. "How did you know something was bothering me?" Elliot questioned. I probably was very obvious but Leo has his ways of knowing things that Elliot tried to hide.

"I could tell. Your behavior wasn't the same as it always it, even if it is the middle of the night. You normally don't act like that. That's why I decided not to tell you that I was up. I wanted to find out what was wrong because I know you wouldn't tell me even if I asked you" Leo said. Elliot was now facing Leo at this point; they were both looking at each other from across the room. "Leo… you know you can ask me anything. It's not like I would get mad" Elliot whispered, hoping Leo would and wouldn't hear that comment. "Elliot what bothered you so much that it woke you up? Did you have a nightmare as well?" Leo inquired.

Elliot hesitated, he isn't sure if he should tell Leo about the vision he saw. For all Elliot knows, Leo could have had the same nightmare. He wasn't even sure what it meant, it could be a memory from Leo's past that he doesn't want to remember. "Yeah I did…. I'd rather not really talk about it Leo…."Elliot responded the best way he could without saying anything about his dream. "Alright Elliot…. If you say so" Leo responded, "well I'm going back to bed. Goodnight Elliot" Leo then got back in bed and fell asleep.

Elliot sighed; he knew he wasn't going to be able to sleep after that got up and walked out of the room silently. Elliot made sure he closed the bedroom door quietly so Leo wouldn't wake up and follow him. He crept down the hallway, which was very dark except for some moonlight that came in through the windows. He eventually reached the room he was walking towards. He twisted the door knob and walked in. The room wasn't very big, it was about medium size. In the middle of the room was a grand piano that Leo and Elliot would always play together. Elliot slowly closed the door and walked forward. The big windows gave the room light but not very much light. When He reached the piano; the dust on it could be seen. Leo and Elliot had stopped playing piano for a while; they had just gotten too busy to actually play the piano together.

Elliot opened the cover off the keyboard. The white and black keys started to shine in the moonlight. He glided his hand on the top of the keys, without pressing down on them. He smiled as he thought of back to when he use to come and play it together with Leo. He would always find Leo in here by himself playing the piano. He would always be playing the same, beautiful melody. Every time Elliot found Leo like that, he would go over and play with him. But those moments stopped happening. Leo hadn't played the piano in a while, and because of that Elliot hasn't touched it either.

"I wonder if I still remember the melody…"He spoke softly.

His finger gently moved across the keyboard, trying to find the right keys. He found it and played the note. The sound wasn't very high or low, it was in the middle. Elliot eventually found the other notes they played together. He started playing them in an elegant fashion. His hands quickly moved from note to note. The tune he was playing was beautiful, and somehow nostalgia. This song always reminded him of Leo. It was a song that not many people heard, but when they did they thought it was beautiful. He felt the same with Leo. Elliot thought if Leo actually showed himself to other people, more people would see what beauty he holds. But Leo is Leo and always will be, you can't force him to show himself to everyone. Elliot always knew this too, but he still wished for Leo to reach out.

Then the vision had appeared in his mind, the vision of Leo. Elliot tried to brush the vision away by focusing on the song, but that didn't help. The vision started to empower his thoughts. Slowly he didn't pay attention to what keys we were playing and began to get of track. The happy, peaceful song gradually turned into a gloomy and depressing melody. The song then started to fit the vision of Leo. Elliot then snapped back to what he was doing. His fingers slowly came to a stop and the room became quiet once more. He became frustrated and rubbed his hands though his hair, making it all knotted. The dream kept bothering him and wouldn't go away, like a scar from a deep wound.

"Maybe if I sleep it will go away" Elliot said with the littlest bit of hope in his voice.

He stood up and was going to walk to the door. Instead his feet lead him to a little coffee table that was in the room. It had a picture frame on it. Elliot reached for a picture frame and gazed at it. The picture was of Leo and Elliot. They looked so happy in the picture, or at least Leo looked really happy. It was a picture from when they first adopted Leo as Elliot's servant. Leo wanted a picture of them together so he could always remember the day. I guess that day meant a lot to him, because of his expression in the photo. Leo had a big smile on his face. Leo does smile but it's very rare. He never normally smiles in Photo's either. This is one of the rare photos where he smiles, maybe the only one if that. The picture made Elliot smile as well. He put the frame back down and started his way to the door.

the next chapter is coming :) probably within a day or so
