This is my new series- these are the children of some pairings from the Hellsing series, and so I will make you guess who the parents are! Have fun!
I awoke to screaming. Not just any screaming, my daughters' screaming.
Slightly groaning, I sat up, and put my glasses. I looked to my right, watching as my partner snored like a freight train. I still don't know how I sleep with that.
The hard wood floor felt cold under my feet as I stood up, stretching my arms towards the ceiling.
I walked hastily towards the door, almost dreading to see my own daughter.
The hallway seemed almost closed as the light from the ceiling lamp flooded the open darkness.
I opened the door to my daughters' room, finding the nine year old shaking under her covers.
" Hailey? Hailey baby, what's wrong?" I asked softly, sitting at the edge of her bed.
The shaken little girl look out from her covers. " Mommy?" she asked softly.
" Come here, dear, and tell me what's wrong." I patted my lap.
Hailey jumped from her protective blanket and into my open arms.
I noticed she looked far too much like her father. Her hair was a light blonde, nothing like my own dark hair, with very soft eyes. But, she did have my freckles.
" Mom, I had I nightmare." she said blankly.
" Oh? About what?"
" A blonde hair man with really strange bangs, and little creepy eyes behind glasses. He was short. And fat. And he was trying to EAT me!" she exclaimed.
" Eat you?"
Hailey nodded.
" Don't worry dear. Nobody is going to eat you." I patted her head gently.
" Daddy was there too."
" Oh?"
She nodded again. " He was wearing a hat, and a very long jacket. He looked like he was in the military."
I pondered this for a moment. " Don't worry, only a dream. Now go back to sleep."
" But it was so real! I could have been right there!"
" It wasn't real. I won't happen. I promise."
" Oh. Okay. Tell daddy not to wear coats like that. They scare me." Hailey smiled, returning to her blanket.
" Okay, I will." I smiled, kissing her on her forehead.
" Night, mum."
" Good night, Hailey." I smiled, walking out of the room, and into the hallway.
I walked quietly into my room, very careful not to wake anyone.
But it was to late.
As I climbed into bed he looked at me with his eyebrow raised.
I smiled. " A Nightmare. Nothing but a night mare."
