A.N - This whole drabble collection is written for the 100 prompts, 100 drabbles, 100 words or less challenge. In which each drabble won't contain more than 100 words, and contains one of the prompts. I've altered the rules slightly, so I'll be doing a character train.

Nightmare

Anthony awoke with a start.

He stared around the pitch black room, wondering what woke him from his slumber so suddenly. That question was soon answered as a scream came from the body sleeping next to him.

'Morag,' he hissed. 'Morag! Wake up, it's just a nightmare.' Morag's eyes fluttered open, and a tear escaped down her cheek.

'I... I saw-'

'I know, Morag... I know,' Anthony reassured, as he held the trembling woman close.

'How long?' she whispered.

'I don't know... but I'll always be here.'

He stayed awake until he could be sure that Morag was back asleep.
