Chpt.7

Nightmare

Jason looked at the clock. 12:49 at night. He must of dozed off while watching Mulan. He looked to his right to see where Damian and Steph were. They were gone. He remembered Damian leaving when they started to watch Sleeping Beauty. Steph most likely went to bed once she got tired enough. He yawned saying,

"Alright Livy. I think it's time to hit the ha…" he looked over to his left to see that curled up next to him was Livy, slightly drooling on a pillow sound asleep. He smiled slightly, as she softly snored. He placed a blanket over Livy, then started to rise off of the couch, to go to his room. However he felt something grasp his hand. It was Livy.

"Dad? Did you get back?" she inquired faintly, half asleep. Jason sighed,

"No Livy. It's me. Jason…"

"Daddy. I'm scared." she stated still half asleep.

"Of what?"

"Monsters." she said, then added, "Can you stay here?" Jason sighed, but nodded his head,

"Sure thing Livy."

"Thanks Daddy." she grinned, and curled up next to him when he sat back down on the couch. He drifted quickly into sleep…

Jason woke up feeling small hands grasping his arm tightly. He looked over to Livy to see that her eyes were watering and she was visibly shaking.

"Hey Livy, what's the matter?" he questioned.

"I had a bad dream," she sobbed hugging his arm tightly.

"Shhh. Calm down. Calm down," he tried to sooth, patting her back. "What was your dream about?" he inquired.

"There… there was a scary man. He killed my momma. He shot her with a gun. Then he started chasing me with this metal thingy. It wasn't a pipe, but it was metal and sorta flat with this curved edge. I can't remember what it's called." she explained.

"A crowbar?"

"Yah. He started chasing me with a crow bar, trying to hurt me. He was a really scary man…" She started to tear up again. Jason shuddered slightly from his own memories, but then hugged Livy tightly, trying to comfort her.

"Shhh. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here."

"What if the scary man comes here?" she inquired, worry in her watering eyes.

"Believe me. I wouldn't let anything or anyone come here to hurt you. I promise."

"Pinky promise?" she asked, extending her small pinky. Jason locked his pinky with hers.

"Pinky promise."
