Jade kept tossing and turning in her sleep after Will went back to sleep. She kept moaning in her sleep because of the nightmare she has every night about her brother. Will woke up and went to check on her. He tried waking her up, but she didn't wake up.
This is what she was busy dreaming.
*********Jade's POV in the dream**********
I woke up standing in this beautiful meadow. I can see my brother on his horse busy riding towards me. "Hello sister!" he shouted as he rode past me, "how's my little sis?"
"I'm good big bro. I've cleaned the stables for sweet Honey here," I replay as I pat Honey's muzzle. Honey snorted at me and I'm sure I saw her blush, but horses can't blush. "Why have you returned from your mission so early, brother," I ask.
"My assistance is needed here. Ranger Gilan has summoned me to Redmont fief," he replied as he got off Honey. "Apparently there is trouble brewing and Gilan is planning to send me, with Ranger Will at my side, to the ruins of Gorlan," my brother replied. He started walking to our cabin when suddenly he collapsed.
"Damon!" I shouted as I ran to him. "Damon! Please don't be dead! Please don't be dead!" I kept on chanting as I started to cry. I sat next to him and I held his head in my hands against my chest. My tears fell on his face as I kept on crying.
"I'm fine sis," he said weakly, "just a normal wound to my arm." He tried sitting up but I stopped him.
"You've been shot by a crossbow bolt in your right shoulder. You were busy chasing a bandit when one of them surprised you and shot you," I said with a weak smile and tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Damn, you're good sis. You pretty sure summed it up," he replied with a small laugh. I helped him up and into the cabin unto the couch and laid him down. I took off his shirt to few the wound.
"You got yourself into a big mess this time bro," I said while I looked at it. I stood up and went to fetch the medical kit that we kept in the house. I came back and started cleaning his wound.
"OUCH!" he yelled as I put the warmweed salve on his shoulder.
"Don't fidget. The salve will numb the pain soon," I replied in a calming voice. I started humming and he started calming down. I stitched the wound closed and I started making supper for him.
The next day I woke up to a big shock. My brother was gone. He must have upped and left during the night while I slept. I ran outside shouting DAMON over and over again, but he never replied. I checked to see if Honey was still here and she was. I immediately got on her and rode after Damon to try and find him, but no success.
I got back home and started realizing that he passed away and had already been buried by the other Ranger's. Young Bob had taken Honey to his place and I went to Redmont Ward to grow up there for the next six years. I cried every night in my bed.
******present day********
Jade finally awakes to see Will sitting next to her bed, sound asleep. I decided to get up quietly. I went to the kitchen and made Will some breakfast. A few minutes after I started Will walked in and sat down at the table. I put the plate in front of him. "Good morning Will," she said.
"Good morning, Jade. Mmmmmmmm. Breakfast smells nice. I see you made toasted bread with a piece of nice beef," he said as he smelled the delicious food.
"Will," she said as she sat down opposite him, "I think it's time I tell you about the nightmare I keep having about my brother." As Will started eating, she told him the dream she just had.
