*PATRICIA'S DREAM*
I screamed as Rufus grabbed me by the hair pulling me into the dusty old barn. I screamed again and he removed his hands from the sweat dripped clot of my hair and put one over my mouth. He said nothing, the only sound now being his heavy breaths and my struggled gasps. Rufus closed the door after pushing me to the floor.
"Please Rufus. Stop." I croak to no avail.
"I'm afraid I can't do that dear Patricia." He tells me, closing in on my with a sinister smile.
I scream, knowing from past experience what happens next.
...
Patricia woke up with a scream as she untangled herself from her sheets. It was the same dream, or nightmare, that had been haunting her since the very day it had truly happened. She often relived the horrific memory.
Mara was at her side in a second. "It's okay Patricia." She comforted, stroking the matted knot of Patricia's hair. "Do you want me to get anyone? Trudy?"
"Eddie." Patricia whispered. "Get Eddie."
Mara ran out of the room thinking screw the rules! Patricia knew that although she didn't want Eddie to see her like this, it was the only way she could put the nightmare to rest for the night.
Eddie appeared at her side within the minute, pushing her over slightly so he could lay next to her. They stayed silent for a minute until Mara spoke. "I'm going to sleep on Joy's spare mattress in the other room tonight." she said, leaving the room.
They stayed silent for another minute.
"Wanna talk about it?" Eddie finally spoke up.
Patricia sighed. "Not really."
"Want me to leave?"
Patricia repeated the same line "not really."
Eddie sighed "okay then. guess i'm staying the night."
"Thank you." Patricia breathed as she fell off into a peaceful slumber in Eddie's arms.
Eddie stayed awake the whole night, worried that if he fell asleep, he would wake to find that this was all just a dream.
Sorry it was short. Please prompt and I don't own HoA :)
