Yusei bolted awake, cold sweat dripping down his back as the nights frozen fingers rippled along his back. He hugged his knees to his chest as he shook in the dark. He instantly became scared, as the black void wrapped its self around him, making him bury his head into his knees. He tried to get back to sleep but to no avail.

Throwing the blanket back, he slipped out of the bed, his little feet lightly touching the ground as he tiptoed out of the room and into the hallway. Looking at the door in front of him he gently turned the handle and pushed the door open.

Yusei peered inside, the bright full moon shone onto the bed through a large open window. From what he could see, Jack had very little furniture in his room. A bed in the middle of the room with a dark coloured fabric, which Yusei guessed to be purple, a brown wooden chest of draws resting against the wall next to a door, that he thought probably led to a bath room and a couple of bedside tables littered with a few pictures and a clock.

"Yusei?"

Yusei jumped at the sound of a voice; he looked over towards the bed to see Jack, laying there with his hands under his head and looking at him with both curiosity and concern.

Jack POV

I heard my door click open and a little form tiptoeing in quietly; I laid on my bed with my hands resting under my head and watched, before finally speaking up.

"Yusei?"

I saw him jump and stare at me with eyes that scared me to the core; they held one thing…fear. Something had scared my little blue-eyed star, and I intended to find out. I quickly swung my legs over the side of my bed and tapped the bed beside me, but instead of sitting next to me, he sat cross legged on the ground, which shocked me.

"Why are you sitting on the ground?"
"The floor is where little brats belong, is what I've always been told," he replied. I frowned; leaning over I picked him up, placing him on my lap. "Then I guess it's a good thing you're not a brat then."
He smiled and wrapped his arms around my neck and snuggled closer, but as I wrapped my arms around his small form, I could feel him shivering. I pull him back down onto the bed and wrap him up in the blankets as he snuggled closer.
"What's wrong?" I asked; he looked up at me with those unnatural frightened blue eyes as his grip on my grey singlet tightened. I squeezed him gently, to let him know that I was there. "Did you have a nightmare?" A small nod was my reply.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He seemed to hesitate at first but slowly nodded his head. After A few moments he began to explain.

Third POV

Dream…

Yusei ran through a thick green forest as deranged laughter followed him. He ducked and swerved around the trees, dodging branches as he went. He reached an old rickety bridge, but as soon as he placed one foot on it, everything around him crumbled trapping him on a thin podium of land.

Suddenly the scenery changed to one that would always haunt Yusei. Lying motionless, eyes wide open in fear and bodies ripped open with a large pool of blood around them, were his parents. Tears welled up in his eyes, he wanted to scream but a lump in his throat prevented that action. Looking up, he saw a dark figure staring down at him. His hood hid all of his facial features except his blood red eyes; slowly the figure stalked towards him as he stepped back.

The next thing he knew he was pinned under the figure, he tried screaming again but again nothing came out.

"-And that's when I woke up."

Jack laid there holding Yusei's teary trembling form, rubbing soothing circles on his back, "I'm assuming the second part of your nightmare really happened?" Yusei nodded before he looked up at Jack with big watery blue eyes, "All of it but the man."
"I promise you that I'll make sure that nothing will ever harm you," Jack paused as he gave Yusei a light peck on the forehead, "I'll protect you, be your Guardian angel."
"More like Guardian Vampire!" Yusei giggled, which earned him a tickling, "Jack!" When Jack stopped he pulled Yusei closer, "You can stay here for the night if you wish, and I'll try to keep your nightmares at bay." Yusei snuggled closer and soon fell asleep. Jack watched him as he continued to rub circles on the little boys back.

I promise to protect you at all costs Yusei, no matter what I'll always be there for you!
