Sleep and Sleepless
Chapter 1- Out like a light
On nights like this Gretel could hate her brother. There he was, on the floor, lether jacket under his head for comfort, boots still on and dried blood on his shirt and breeches. The dirt and sweat still clung onto him. For Gretel just the thought of sleeping like this was disgusting, but Hansel could not care less. While his sister washed the grime of her skin, he lay down on the ground to sleep.
Hansel was out like a light in seconds. It was not the fact that he was dirty, nor that he did snore, what made her angry was that he could sleep. Even after a day like this, after killing and fighting and nearly meeting death, her brother slept like a rock. She was envious about that. Every time she closed her eyes Gretel would see stupid witches with fucking smiles on their faces, would smell the sickening scent of sugar and blood, would feel the tears on her face while watching her younger brother eat the candy, just for her wellbeing. Or, and that was sometimes even worse, she would see the smiling face of their mother.
'How can he sleep?' She thought. Hansels face was so peaceful, not one nightmare plagued his dreams.
'Not fair!' Gretel raised her hand to shake him awake. Sometimes she just wanted him to be as tired as she was. No. She could be as envious as hell, she would never wake him, except it was a nightmare. This was her brother and at least one of them should have the pleasure to sleep.
Instead of waking him, Gretel grabed one of her spare blankets and dropped it over Hansel. He turned around, pulled it over his shoulders and let an content sigh escape his lips. It did not matter that he could sleep and she could not, because in the end he would be there for her, to chase away every nightmare she had.
For that she was grateful. So Gretel let him sleep.
A/N: I just made Gretel the older one, 'cause I like it better. She is more mature than Hansel.
So, do you like it, or do you want to point out some major mistake I made? Leave a review, but be nice! I do bite.
