Chapter 7 Fireflies
When I woke up it was dark out, meaning I must have slept for a long time. I looked around the room and saw my pack sleeping around me. I also noticed my mates sleeping in the corner leaning on each other. I smiled and got up carefully and walked out of the room slowly closing the door behind me.
I walked down stairs and as I did I noticed that all the lights were off and that all the doors were shuts and no light coming from underneath them. I walked outside and climbed up the side of the house and sat on the roof. I looked to the stars and sighed happily, enjoying the peace and quiet.
When I looked back to the stars again a bright light flashed before my eyes. I blinked and smiled when I saw that it was a firefly. I looked around and saw thousands more around me blinking in the night. I started to hum a song that I heard a while back that reminded me of these creatures.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
Thousands of fireflies rested upon my arms legs and head all glowing brightly like stars.
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
I sighed as I watched them fly away into the night. I got up and jumped down to the ground barley making a sound when I landed. As I was walking back into the house I looked up to see all 3 of my mates standing there with smile on their faces. I smiled back and walked up into Severus's arms. We walked upstairs together and went into their room and they followed me, I went to the corner and curled up like I always do when I sleep when Severus came over picked me up and layed me on top of Sirius's chest. He got on Sirius's left and Remus on his right. I looked confused and he said, "You sleep with us in a bed not in a corner." I smiled and layed my head right under Sirius's chin and fell into a deep peaceful sleep with the men I love arms around me.
