*Beau's POV*

I had just finished patching up Brittany but everything had my mind racing. I was curious about what her nightmare was and everything.

Normally, I knew she wasn't very prone to nightmares, mostly because she thought of that as mostly bogus and often laughed off at them if she did. But this time, she didn't laugh off at whatever nightmare that she had.

I didn't notice it before but I noticed that she looked more pale than usual, eyes wide with shock, and she was hugging her knees and shaking her head.

I walked up to her side to ask her exactly what happened in her nightmare. I didn't even bother asking her earlier when I was patching her up because I was more concerned with making sure her wound got patched up. Seeing her wounded earlier scared me.

"Tell me about your nightmare," I said, placing an arm on her shoulder.

She turned to me.

"It was some creep that was all burnt and scarred wearing a red and green striped sweater, a fedora hat, and a glove with blades," she said, her voice was quiet with a hint of disbelief in her tone. "He was taunting me just because I don't believe in anything out of the ordinary. He says his name is Freddy Krueger."

She looked down at where I had bandaged her cuts earlier and I could see a very slight hint of sadness in her eyes. It was like it was hard for her to accept that what she had seen was real or something.

"He also gave me the cuts," she finished.

My eyes went wide in shock as I was only able to utter one word at what I had just heard.

"Shit!" I hissed as I wrapped my arms around my twin sister comfortingly. "Why does this have to happen to you?"

She shrugged then leaned her head against my shoulder. I just hugged her tighter.

Normally, she would rarely do such a thing after a nightmare but this time, this nightmare might have done enough damage to her mind. I could already tell that it was. It wasn't just me caring for her, it was also a twin thing.

"Beau, you do realize that you're the best brother ever even though you might be an ass at times," Brittany said, quietly laughing. "And even though I might be an ass."

I just gave a quiet chuckle. I had heard this all too many times, even though I was her only brother and she was my only sister.

"You want me to stay with you until you sleep?" I asked, stroking her hair.

"Yes, dude," she replied, tucking herself in her covers. "That would help. I don't want to see that asshat again."

I just smiled as I watched my twin sister try to make herself comfortable.

"Just sleep tight, sis," I whispered. "If you need anything, holler me over."

I kissed her on the forehead just when she was trying to close her eyes to go to sleep. I just stayed there with her until I was positive that she was fully asleep.

It was five minutes before she could be able to sleep. After that, I quietly stepped out of her room, hoping to not make a sound to wake her up.

In the back of my mind, I was worried that this Freddy Krueger guy would show up tonight. Regardless, I was going to break the news to my parents.
