Chapter 6- Night Terror's (Tearin's Point of View)

"Papa! Mama!"

Daemon and Jaenelle came running into their children's room at full tilt. Tearin was by his sister who was tossing and turning in her sleep.

"She won't wake up!" The little boy cried as his parents sat beside him on the bed. "I tried, but she won't wake up! Something's hurting her!"

Just then Saetan came into the room with his housecoat on. "What's wrong?"

"Allearian is having a night terror and she can't wake up." Daemon said to his father.

"Do you want me to take Tearin?"

"Yes please Papa. Can you get him some warm milk as well please?" Jaenelle asked.

"Sure. Come on darling; let's let Mama and Papa help your sister."

"NO! They're hurting her! I can't leave her." Tearin sobbed.

"We're not hurting her. She's just dreaming." Daemon told his son. The three year old shook on his head.

"Not you. The dream. They're hurting her dream!"

"Warlord Prince Tearin Anar! Go with your grandfather now!" Jaenelle said in her "Queen's Voice" as her children called it. Tearin, sobbingly, allowed Saetan to take him out of the room.

As Saetan led his grandson to the kitchen he looked at the small boy walking next to him, all teary-eyed and sniffing and he knew that Tearin was trying to be brave.

"Alley will be fine Tearin. You'll see. Your parents won't let anything happen to her."

"I know, but she's hurting so much. I don't like it."

Saetan smiled and nodded his head knowingly. Tearin was more like his father then he liked to admit.

"Granpa, do you think she won't want to do it again after this?"

"Do what?"

"Dream. Do you think she'll want to stop dreaming?"

Saetan sighed. He didn't know what to say. He remained quiet, thinking about it until they reached the kitchen and he had warmed a glass of milk for him.

"Tearin, remember when you had that bad dream a little while ago?" Tearin nodded his head. "What did you say after that?"

"That I don't like bad dreams."

"Right. No one likes bad dreams, but sometimes we all have them."

"Even you and Mama and Papa?"

"Yes, even us. We don't have them all the time, but from time to time everyone have them."

It was at that point that Ladvarian came into the kitchen with his ears back and tail down.

.: The little Queen is not well. Are you alright little Prince:.

"Yes, I's fine Ladvarian. Alley is just having a bad dream. Mama and Papa are helping her right now."

.: Witch will be able to help her. She is very good at helping. :.

"Ladvarian, do you even have bad dreams?"

.: Sometimes, but not very often. :.

"What do you do when you have them?"

.: I try to remember all the good things that I know, and try to forget the bad dreams. It is not good if you keep bad things in your thoughts. :.

"Okay. I'll remember that. Thank you." Then Tearin looked up and at the door. "Excuse me, I have to go." He jumped off the chair and bolted from the room.

Saetan looked at Ladvarian who nodded his had and Saetan, who nodded in return, took off after Tearin.

A few minutes later Tearin ran into the room and nearly bowled over all three of them in a flying hug. He held his sister at arms length and looked her over.

"Are you okay now?"

"A little. I don't like that dream. It was bad."

"I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't. I was really scarded."

"I's better now. Mama helpded me. Didn't you Mama?"

"Yes I did. But I think that you did more then me. I just helped you wake up."

"I'm glad that your better now. You really scarded me. Don't do it again, okay?"

"Okay." She said shyly.

Daemon smiled at his children. "Okay you two. Let's see if we can let everyone in the hall get some sleep."

"Papa, can you sleep in here tonight wif me?"

"Of course I can, but what about Tearin?" Daemon said, looking at his children.

"He can sleep on one side and you can sleep on the other side." Allearian said matter of factly.

Tearin hugged his sister. "Don't worry me and Papa will make sure that no more bad dreams hurt you." Allearian hugged her brother back.

"Okay." She smiled.

"Alright you two, into bed then," Jaenelle said, holding the sheets up so they could climb in. As her children settled in under the blankets Daemon settled in on the left side with Alley next to him and Tearin on the right. Jaenelle kissed each of them and then left the room with Saetan to go back to their own rooms and get some sleep.

Alley snuggled close to her father and Tearin snuggled close to her. Soon both children were fast asleep and Daemon allowed himself to fall asleep as well.

I know that the last two chapters were pretty much the same, but I wanted to get both perspectives of the children and so no one would be lost, I just copied what I had from one and put it in the other :P

Hope you enjoyed! Chapter 7 should be up soon.
