"I'll never leave you; I'd rather die than be away with you, what meaning is there without you?"
He was restless, he lie in his makeshift bed tossing and turning, moaning and groaning and drenched in sweat, visions of him alone beleaguered him.
"I'll only let you breath my air, only mine if you love me." a voice shouted out of nowhere, a familiar voice at that one, it continued to shout at him in an angry tone. "What did I do?" he shouted back at nothingness, and nothingness returned…loneliness.
"Tell me what I did, I'm sorry, please…please…stop." he fell to his knees and began to cry, he pressed his hand against his ears hoping to drown out the shouting, "I'M SORRY, PLEASE STOP!" he continued to shout between sobs of fear and confusion, he just wanted it to stop.
"Hey, wake up!" Courage began shaking Katz from his sleep, he woke up screaming and breathing heavily, when he saw the little pink dog smiling next to him he felt all the fear disappear, and felt more at peace.
It's been over four days since they left the city of Nowhere, they both agreed there were too many painful memories and headed out on their own, and over the days they grew quite fond of each other, but decided to remain it a friendship, but Katz still felt the need to be close to courage, they were all they had left of each other .
"Are you ok, you were tossing and turning everywhere." Courage gave Katz a warm smile, god how he loved those smiles.
"Yea, I just had a nightmare is all, I'll be just fine." he returned the smile, then the day came up and they continued on their way, none of them knew where they were going but they knew they were going somewhere better.
So they thought.
