Nightmares
Hey guys! I'm here with another update. This one is a medley of a prompt by DesiredHOA01 and an idea in my head.
Enjoy!
One thing you must understand is that being the Osirian was great. But it had its down sides. One of the not so great things were the visions which came mostly in the form of nightmares. Eddie has been suffering from nightmares for the past week. He had woken up screaming and sweating. At first, Fabian was able to calm him. But after a while, Fabian asked KT to comfort Eddie. It worked. But this nightmare was the worst by far. Eddie was rolling around in bed, taking up a small fraction of the space he normally took up. He was screaming, sweating and crying. Not just tears. His sobs were an unearthly sound, one that had woken the whole house, except Victor. Fabian tried to comfort him. It didn't work. KT tried to comfort him. It didn't work. As a last resort, even Trudy tried to comfort him. It still didn't work. But Fabian had an idea. One that he knew was not the best. But he could guarantee it would work. Time to call upon Patricia.
"But Fabian, if KT couldn't wake him, how will I?" Patricia whined. Secretly, she wanted to try and stop this. It was torture for her to see her ex-boyfriend screaming in agony. But somehow, she couldn't bring herself to do so.
"Patricia, come on! You have to at least try!" Fabian begged. Everyone else nodded their agreement.
"Fine. But everyone just give me a minute." Patricia agreed, shooing everyone out of the room. It was go time.
She walked up to his bed. She cautiously sat down on the edge.
"Eddie?" She whispered his name. He didn't respond. "Eddie?" She asked again, louder this time. His body stiffened. "Eddie it's me, Patricia." She said, leaning down towards him. She had put on the voice that she used for Piper when she was depressed. The only other person she ever used such emotion for was Eddie. And maybe Joy. Maybe.
"Eddie, you need to wake up. Whatever's scaring you, it'll be gone. I'm right here. Please wake up." Patricia said, beginning to stroke his hair gently. She was saying whatever came to her mind, hoping it was right. Eddie was beginning to stir, that was a good sign.
"Weasel come on." She said. This seemed to have the opposite effect as he sobbed and curled up again.
"Eddie, please. Please wake up. It'll be gone when you open your eyes. Please Eddie." She pleaded, her voice laced with desperation. That hit the nail on the head. Eddie slowly opened his eyes.
"Yacker?" He croaked, tears still flowing from his eyes.
"Weasel." She whispered back. He responded by jumping into her arms, burying his head in the crook of her neck and crying. She in turn, stroked his hair and rubbed circles on his back for the next hour. He asked her to lay with him for the rest of the night and she complied.
They were both content in each others warmth. Once Eddie was calm, Patricia asked him the one question on her mind.
"What was so bad?" She asked, her voice full of concern.
"It was horrible. I was in the tunnels. With you. And then we were at the chasm. And you fell down. I jumped in after you. When I got down, Mr and Mrs Evil were there." Eddie admitted.
"Mrs. Evil?" Patricia questioned.
"Denby."
"Of course. Continue." She prompted.
"Well, Denby had you. Then she-she started torturing you. She was hurting you. And you were screaming. It was horrifying. I mean you were screaming for help and I couldn't do anything. I was frozen. It was just... yeah. And then I woke up and you were there and I just lost it!" Eddie explained.
Patricia didn't say anything. She just hugged him and whispered,
"Well I'm here. And I'm fine. Everything will be ok."
Then she kissed him. He was surprised at first but kissed back.
"You're right. Everything is fine." He said, bringing her in to a warm embrace.
Done! Hope you liked it! The next one is going to be one where they are dating. Remember to review!
Thanks!
