I didn't get to proof read all this chapter, so I hope there aren't too many mistakes =.="
"I don't want you to go, un! You or Mama! I don't like her!" Sasori rubbed his forehead and looked at Deidara who was smirking. "Uh, Hato... Me and Mama have to go-" "Oh, not yet, Danna. I still have to hand out invitations to their birthday party, un." Naoto and Ayano smiled. "We're still having one?" Deidara nodded. "Yes, you are."
"Don't go! I don't like her!" this time Hato looked angry, as she clung to Sasori's leg. Sasori sighed and pried her off. "We'll be back soon, okay?" the redhead was staring at her father, almost confused. "You look different, un." Deidara looked at Sasori. He did. His hair was longer, and his face was more shaper. Not to mention that he was taller then the blond and Deidara could've sworn that he would be taller.
Sasori smiled, "I grew." Naoto looked at Hato. "You grow, Hato." the said redhead glared at her brother. "I know, Nao. I just noticed, un..." Sasori smirked. She was blushing bright red and she was crossing her arms, making her look adorable. Sasori chuckled and kissed her forehead. "You don't look pretty when you scowl like that, honey." (A/N: My dad says that, but uses one of my nicknames!)
Her glare softened and she looked down. "Okay, un." Deidara smiled, "You guys will help me hand out the invitations. Okay, un?" they all nodded and stood up. Deidara walked up to the pre-school teacher and tapped her shoulder. The brunette turned around, her smile never faltering. "Oh, I didn't see you come in..." Deidara wondered why she stopped and he had an idea, when she started blushing.
"U-um... Wh-who's that?" she asked, pointing to Sasori, who was now playing with all three of his children. Deidara smiled., "That's Sasori, their father, un." Ms. Trea slowly nodded. "Um, yeah, uh..." she continued to gawk. Deidara glared at her. "Well, it's Hato, Naoto and Ayano's birthday in a week and I wanted to hand out..." the brunette ignored him and walked to the redhead.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Trea. You're kids' teacher!" Sasori looked up and stood up to his full height, towering over the female by half a foot. "Hello." Sasori said indifferently, making him her blush grow. She stuck out her hand for the handsome male to shake. Sasori did so and she smiled, giving a giggle. By this time Deidara had seen enough of the woman flirting with his spouse.
He walked up to Sasori, who smile at him. "S-so you two are-" "Married, yes, un." Deidara said, leaning against his lover, an arm coming around his waist. The brunette was taken aback, but she tried to smile. "I see... Um, you were saying something about a birthday party?" Deidara nodded and took out some invitations. "We're inviting the whole class, un."
Ms. Trea took them and nodded, "D-do you want me to hand them out?" Deidara smile and nodded, "We have to leave soon, since I have a doctors appointment, un." the teacher nodded and smiled, "Okay!" she looked at the twin's, who were looking up at her. "Um, Hato... You don't have your gloves?" the brunette frowned and her mouth formed into a thin line.
The four year-old looked at the back of her bare hands. "They were itchy so I took them off, un." she answered almost scared. Sasori raised an eyebrow and looked at Deidara, who was glaring the the teacher. "I don't think she has to wear those anymore, un." the woman looked at Deidara, "And why not?" Deidara pulled away from Sasori, "Because, I think you've degraded her enough, un!"
Hato was looking back and forth, as they had their disagreements. "Mama, can I have my glove-" "We're not giving in, Hato, un." Deidara said looking at his daughter, who looked like she was about to cry. Sasori put a hand on Deidara's shoulder. "What's wrong?" "Ms. Trea doesn't like Hato's hands, so she makes her cover them up, un."
"Now, I didn't say it like that!" "Bull sh-" Sasori covered Deidara's mouth with his hand, "No cursing, brat." Deidara glared at his lover, and Sasori took off his hand. "She doesn't have to wear them, un." the brunette narrowed her eyes at the blond. "Fine, but she wont be making any friends with those things on her hands."
Naoto frowned, and grabbed his sister's hand, trying to reassure her. "We're going to be late, un. Do you have your lunches?" Deidara asked the twins, who both nodded. "Good. C'mon, Ayano, un." Deidara grabbed the two year-old's hand and Sasori took the other. "We'll be back soon, un. Love you both, un." Sasori smiled and nodded, before they left.
Ms. Trea sighed in frustration, "First I find out they're married then I have to get into a fight." she kept on muttering under her breath, gripping the invitations in her hand. She turned and smile almost sadistic at the four year-olds. "Why don't you hand out the invitations, Hato? Naoto can help too!" the redhead blinked, but shook her head. "I-I-" "Oh, it's fine!" the brunette handed the papers to the redhead and pushed her towards a group of kids their age.
She blushed at seeing the other kids. She held out a paper, her hand shaking, "I-I was wondering, if you wou-would go to mine and Nao's birthday p-party, un." the children didn't respond and Ms. Trea smirked, "Try again." tears began forming in the redhead's eyes. "I-I-I w-was wondering i-if you-" "Don't stutter. It's hard for them to understand you."
Hato looked up at Ms. Trea. "Can I-I do th-" Naoto grabbed an invitation from his sister's hand and smiled at her. "Hato wants you to come to our birthday party." he stuck out the invitation and the kids eyed it. "Why are you talking to us?" Naoto continued to smile, "We want to make friends!" one of the girls smiled, "I'll take one!" he nodded and handed one out to her.
Soon, almost all of the kids had one and they all wanted to play with the cheery blond. "See, Hato. You just have to stop being to scared, and go for it." the redhead was looking away from the whole scene. Her brother had no problems with making friends; she was the one holding him back this whole time. "Do you wanna play imagine with us?" a girl with blue hair asked.
"Sure!" Naoto replied. He was about to go run off with them when he stopped to look at his older sister. She was sitting on the floor in their usual play area, messing with some clay. "What about my sister?" some of the kids' smiles melted off. "Um-" "Why do you want her to play?" Naoto's eyebrows furrowed, "She's my sister and I don't wanna leave her alone-" "She looks fine by herself."
The blond looked at his sister again and he frowned. He knew what was right, but he just liked the idea of having friends, to actually be accepted. "Okay, let's play!" he ran over to the other kids, leaving his sister to be on her own. He laughed and pretended to be a dragon, the other kids joining in on being mythical creatures.
Hato continued to mold the white clay in her hands. She looked up seeing her brother playing with some other kids. They were laughing and smiling and it seemed her brother was having a great time. She looked down at her clay. She was glad that he was happy; that she didn't have to hold him back anymore. He'd be happier this way.
'But am I happy?' she looked around area. She was alone. That didn't bug her. If she was alone, then no one would be mean to her. She half-smiled; she liked that idea. Never to be judged, or at least she wouldn't have to here it. She had her own fun by herself. She put away the clay and took out a puzzle that she had already done.
Spilling out the pieces, she began putting them face up, so she could see where they go. She began putting the edge pieces together and soon she was done with the whole puzzle. She sighed and began another one. Then another. Then another. It soon came to be that she had done all of the puzzles. She got out of her chair and went back to her little square to begin molding clay again.
She looked at her hand mouths and frowned. Maybe this was why nobody liked her? Maybe it was her hair? Did she say something wrong? Shaking the thoughts from her head, she began to mold the clay with her hands, not even bothering to use her extra mouths. She didn't know why she wanted to know why people didn't like her, but the thought just occurred to her out of nowhere.
A pit filled her stomach, but she knew she wasn't hungry. She had the urge to be excepted like her brother, but for some reason she couldn't find herself to do so. Looking over her shoulder she saw her twin laughing and smiling with some other boys; the girls around him blushing and giggling. Hato's eyes were half-lidedd, as she watched the whole scene.
She turned back to her clay and continued molding. Ten minutes later Ms. Trea announce it was "Lunch Time" and Hato noticed that Naoto's lunch and her's were put together. So maybe they could eat together. The thought brought a light to her lonely world and she smiled when Naoto came over. "Hi, Nao, un!" she didn't know why she was so happy to see him, but it was like she had to feel happy around him.
Naoto was avoiding her gaze and he rubbed the back of his neck, "Can I have my half of the lunch?" he asked quietly; Hato's smile dropped and she looked down hurt. Again, she had no idea why her brother can mess with her emotions like that. She felt so vulnerable around him. She nodded and took out the sandwich and juice box. "Mama, wants us to split the cookie, un." Naoto shook his head.
"You can have it." was all he said before he walked away. She blinked the tears out of her eyes. It was barely two hours since Naoto hadn't been with her and she was already crying. Bitting her lip, she went to an empty table and took out her sandwich. She took a bite of it, not tasting it, but knowing that she would soon be full.
She looked at her cookie and sighed, putting it back in the bag. She finished her lunch much for quickly then all of the other kids and she began playing with her clay. "Why aren't you playing with the other kids?" Hato looked up to see Ms. Trea standing there, frowning. Hato could see right past it and saw how much she was enjoying her misery.
"They don't like me, un." she answered truthfully, looking away from the brunette. "Why is that?" she just shrugged, "Hm, well why don't you try again?" she shook her head, still molding the clay. "Why not?" Hato looked up this time, her blue eyes filled with confusion. "I don't want to..." "But, Nao-" "He's happy, un. I'm happy too, so isn't your job done?" Hato asked, harshly.
The brunette was taken aback once more, "Well I-" "I'm tired, un." Hato stood up, leaving her clay where it was and went to the other room for a nap. She really had no intention of napping; she really just snuck some clay in her left hand mouth and she planned on playing with it there. At least there she wouldn't be teased by her teacher and the other kids.
She got a mat and sat on it, already playing with the clay. She kept on reusing the one piece of clay, making it into so many different things. Soon she began to wish that she snuck more. She began humming her father's lullaby that soothed her to sleep. No matter what the blond was by her side and he would always take care of her.
He helped her get comfortable with all the new things, with whenever she was sad, or she had a disturbing vision. He was there, but he wasn't here now. When she woke up, she saw the room was still empty. She sat up and looked around. It didn't look like her parents would be coming any time soon. She stood up and sat on the seat by the window.
The day was average and it didn't bring her any more entertainment then she had at the moment, which was none. Looking around again, she noticed the teacher who was supposed to be looking over the sleeping children wasn't there. She frowned and left the room to go back to the play room. There she found the whole class in a circle.
"Oh, Hato, you woke up!" the said redhead looked up to see Ms. Trea smiling. "We're doing an activity to get to know each other better. Come sit in the circle." She didn't say anything, but sat down where some kids made some room, but it just looked like they didn't want to be by her. "Okay, I am Ms. Trea and you are-" "Cindy!" "Paul." "Kenya!" the line continued on and it was Naoto's turn. "Naoto!"
A few more kids and it was Hato's turn, "Hato, un..." "We can't here you..." Ms. Trea said, "Speak up louder." the four year-old glared at the brunette. "Hato." "Very good! Now continue!" the names continued till they were back to Ms. Trea. "Good job, now let's say one thing about each other. I am a teacher. Now you go." "I have a kitty!" "I have a Momma and a Daddy." "My dog's name is Spike."
Naoto's turn. He thought for a second, "I have a twin!" some of the kids began to mummer amongst each other when they heard that, "Who do you think it could be?" "I don't know." Hato looked down; they'd been there for over a month and they still didn't know. Maybe she did make them invisible and Naoto was able to show himself.
The lists went on and it was Hato's turn. "I have two siblings, un." she was glad Ms. Trea didn't say anything and the line continued. "Okay, your parents will be here to pick you up soon, so get ready!" the kids nodded and Hato went to her and Naoto's coats and half finished lunches. She expected her brother to at least come over and help her, but no such thing happened. He just stayed with his friends.
"Why did you hang out with that weird girl before?" Hato heard a kid ask, "She's my sister and she's not weird." Hato felt slightly better that Naoto was defending her, "Well... She does act kinda different." "Yeah, she does." another kid said, trying to convince Naoto. She didn't listen anymore when he gave in. A few minutes later Deidara and Sasori entered the room, looking for their kids.
Deidara smiled when he saw Naoto playing with other kids, but was trying to locate Hato. Sasori tapped his shoulder and pointed to the loan redhead. Deidara frowned and went to the upset four year-old. "Hato, un?" the said redhead looked up, still frowning. "Why aren't you with Naoto, un?" she just shook her head and picked up her and her twin's coat and lunch.
"Naoto it's time to go, un." Deidara said, grabbed the blond's hand as he was saying goodbye to his friends. Hato was hiding behind Sasori's leg, trying to not look at her brother. They headed out to the car and they both climbed in. Soon they were driving through the city. "So, what did you guys do today, un?" Deidara asked from the passenger seat.
"It was really fun! I handed out the invitations and I played with my new friends and it was really fun!" Deidara smiled, "Well, that's good and Hato what did you do?" the redhead was silent, as she stared out the window. "I played with some clay and made puzzles, un." "Oh, did you do it with your new friends, un?" Hato closed her eyes and sighed. Even her father had more expectations for her then she thought.
"No, un." Deidara frowned, "Why not, un?" Hato looked at him, "Because I don't have any, un." Deidara frowned and looked at Naoto, "Weren't both of you playing together?" the younger blond shook his head, "Then who was Hato playing with?" Hato continued to look out the window. Deidara frowned and looked at Hato, who looked almost betrayed.
"Do you want to talk about it, Hato, un?" she shook her head and continued to gaze out her window.
-Home-
It was only two o'clock so there was still more time to play. Naoto and Ayano were trying to catch Black Jack, but the cat was doing his best to not get caught. Deidara and Sasori were watching the whole thing in amusement and Hato was sitting by Sasori legs, her knees up to her chest."Why don't you play with them, Hato, un? I'm sure you can help with catching Black Jack."
She shook her head and began playing with a blade of grass. "I'll try to talk to her." Sasori said, getting up and helping Hato up. "I'm fine, un." Sasori shook his head, "No you're not. Let's go inside and talk." when he didn't get any protests he picked her up and headed inside. Sasori decided it was better to talk somewhere private and settled for Hato's and Naoto's bedroom.
He sat down on the bed, with his daughter in his lap. "You really don't want to talk about it?" she hid her face in his neck, not wanting to respond. "Whenever you're ready." five minutes passed, then ten, soon it was twenty and by the thirty minute mark Hato sighed. "I was supposed to hand out the invitations, but I couldn't do it right..."
Sasori nodded, waiting for her to continue. "Naoto helped me and the other kids liked him... They were going to go play a game and Naoto played it with them. I was playing with some clay and puzzles and when it was lunch time he came over for his lunch and left. I was tired so I took a nap and I came back to find a class game going on... That was okay. Then we had to get ready to leave, but he was still playing and they were talking about me..."
Sasori nodded, rubbing her back. "What did they say?" she paused and sniffled, "Th-they said I was w-weird and th-that they di-didn't know why N-nao played with me and he a-agreed with th-them..." she began crying and Sasori just held her, muttering calming things in her ear; he was also surprised she hadn't said "un" through the whole thing.
"I-I-I really w-wanted to p-play, but they don't l-like me, un..." Sasori began rubbing her back, "Well, they have no right to judge you. You're you." she sniffled and stopped crying. "Whenever I'm around Naoto I feel happy... I wonder what other people feel when I'm around them... What do you feel, Daddy?" Sasori smiled and kissed her forehead.
"I feel love." Hato looked down and frowned. She was happy that both of her parents loved her, but for some reason all of it still hurt so much. Sasori wiped away the remaining tears from his daughter's face and kissed her cheek. "You can try again tomorrow?" she shook her head and Sasori sighed, "You'll never know, unless you try again."
She didn't say anything, but a sigh was heard. "Okay..." Sasori nodded and let her out of his lap.
-Next Day-
Sasori had talked about Hato's difficulty with making friends the night before and Deidara wished that she would open more up to him too, but maybe she trusted Sasori more, even he had only been back for three days. But right now was not the time to think about it. They were dropping of Hato and Naoto at the pre-school and this time Hato was wearing her gloves.
Once they entered the classroom Naoto ran to his friends, who were glad to see them. Sasori kneeled down behind Hato and whispered in her ear, "Now's a good time to try." she sighed and walked forward. Once she was un front of them and by Naoto they looked at her, confused at why she was there. "What are you doing here?" one of the girls asked, grabbing onto Naoto's arm.
She gulped, "I wanted to play, un." some of the kids looked at her, as if why she were there. "Why?" she looked down. "I wanted to play with Naoto-" "Why do you wanna play with him?" another kid asked and she bit her lip. "Because he's my brother, un." the kids went silent and frowned. "Oh." an older girl said, grimacing.
Hato frowned and gulped, "O-okay, un." she walked away and went to put her and Naoto's stuff down in their usual spot. Sasori frowned and sighed, "Maybe you should try talking to her again, un?" Sasori nodded and went to Hato and Deidara Naoto, with Ayano following him. "Naoto, can I talk to you for a minute, un?" the blond looked up and smiled. "Sure."
Deidara pulled him away from the other kids and sighed, "Why didn't you stand up for Hato. She wanted to play, but-" "The other kids don't like her... They say... That she makes them feel sad and they don't want to be around her..." he looked down almost ashamed. "Well, why don't you go and play with her, un?" Naoto frowned, "Because I like having friends."
Deidara's eyes widened and he looked at his son who was looking away from him. "You can still play with both, Naoto, un." the blond shook his head, "No, if I play with Hato then they'll think that I don't want to be their friend anymore." Deidara's face was stern and he sighed, "Naoto, it's not all about friends, you know. It's also about family and right now Hato needs you-" "I've been with her for four years I think-" "Do not interrupt me. But you would really do that, un?"
"You would go and play with your friends than go and be there for your sister, un?" the blond looked down, "I guess so." Deidara's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "We'll talk about this when we go home. You cannot just treat your family like that, un." and with that said he walked out of the room, Ayano still following him not really understanding what was going on.
Sasori frowned and looked at Deidara, who had just left. "We'll be back soon, okay?" Hato nodded and Sasori kissed her forehead. "Bye, love you." she nodded and waved her hand. Ignoring Deidara's instructions, Naoto went to go play with his friends, leaving Hato by herself, yet another day. Deidara was upset the Naoto didn't want to do anything with Hato anymore and that the redhead was alone, most of the day.
Ayano would play with Hato, which made Deidara happy, but he had no idea why Naoto would reject his sister so harshly just for some friends.
-Birthday-
Hato peeked her head out of her bedroom door, seeing how many guests they had. The whole living room was full (A/N: I actually know what my living room looks like so it's easy for me to imagine!), which was big and there were even some kids running in the hall. She looked down, dejected (A/N: One of my many vocab words in school)
"Are you going to join them?" Sasori asked behind her. She looked up at her father. "I don't want to... None of them like me, un." Sasori frowned and sighed, "Have you tried-" "I try every day, but they say they don't want me to play with them... They say it's not fun, un." she walked past Sasori and went into the closet, not coming out.
"Hato, you can't stay in there the whole party." there was no answer and Sasori walked into the closet to see her in a corner, her knees pulled up to her chest. "Hato," she wouldn't look up, nor would she answer. Sasori sighed and went to her, pulling her into his lap. They sat there, Hato enjoying the silence and Sasori enjoying the darkness.
"Mama will be looking for you soon." Hato didn't say anything, she just leaned against Sasori. "I don't want to leave, un..." Sasori frowned and ran a hand through her messy hair. "Well, you're going to have to." Sasori stood up and Hato didn't say anything, as he made her walk out of the closet and out of the bedroom.
The whole time Hato was out of the room she was hiding behind her father, not wanting to be seen, but there were some whispers from both parents and children about Hato. Sasori tried to make his eldest daughter walk in front of him, but she wouldn't budge. "Why are you here?" a girl asked Hato. "It's mine Naoto's and Ayano's birthday party, un..."
That's when it dawned on Hato that most of the kids were here for Naoto, she even heard that a little over a quarter of the kids came for Naoto and to pity Hato. "Daddy, I want to go back to my room..." Sasori looked down at Hato, who was hiding her face in his shirt. "Hato-" "Please, un." she looked up with teary eyes and Sasori sighed.
"Only for a little bit." she nodded and followed her father to her bedroom. Deidara frowned and looked at his lover take Hato to her bedroom. Sasori tried to give him a reassuring look, but Deidara knew that everything wasn't okay. He turned to Naoto, who was laughing with his friends and Ayano who was playing with other kids her age.
Hato sat down on the bed and she looked like she would pass out any minute. "Are you feeling okay?" Sasori asked, placing his hand on Hato's forehead. The redhead shook her head and clutched at her head, in pain. "It hurts, un..." Sasori raised a red brow, "What hurt-" "Ah!" Hato's eyes turned silver and her aura flared wildly.
Sasori covered her mouth before she screamed again and held her close. She was thrashing around as her vision took over. She was crying, trying to force the images out of her head. She was being carried out of the house and being put in the trunk of a car. The drugs on her doing their job. Deidara was crying and Sasori was holding him saying things like "We'll get her back" and "It'll be okay" and the final image scared her to death.
Deidara was looking at her with dead eyes and a stake through his chest. Hato gasped and Sasori took his hand off. That had never happened before. This was the first time she didn't touch something and got a vision. A minute later Deidara came bursting through the room. "I heard a scream, un." he looked at Hato and he paled.
She was still crying and her aura was like a ghost around her. "She had a vision, and by the way she reacted, it was bad." Deidara went by her and Hato was afraid to look at him, or else the bad images would be in her head again. That her father was dead and it was her fault. She began crying again and Sasori held her close.
"Do you know what she saw, un?" the redhead shook his head and Deidara frowned. "Should Hato still attend the party?" Deidara shook his head, "No, she needs to rest, un. Here." Deidara picked her up and she was now clinging to him, terrified. Deidara pried her hands off his shirt and tucked her in bed, the moment her head hit the pillow she passed out.
Deidara sighed and his head fell into his hands. Sasori rubbed his back, trying to soothe him. Snuggling into the redhead, Deidara closed his eyes. If only they could be like this forever and all of their problems in the world dissolved; his eyes opened and he looked at the wall. He knew that that wasn't possible; that everything in life would be a challenge.
Sasori held him and rubbed his back. "We have to get back to the party and we have to announce that Hato wont be joining us." Deidara wiped away his tears and nodded. Both of them stood up and headed out for the party. Soon it was time for Naoto and Ayano to blow out the candles, but Hato's candles were still sitting there.
The group sang happy birthday; half of it for Naoto the other for Ayano. Next was the presents. Most of them were for Naoto which was about twenty-five presents, then Ayano who had fifteen and Hato who had eight. Naoto liked the feeling of being excepted and knowing he belonged somewhere. Just the face that he spent all of his life just with his family was kind of weird to him.
No one asked where Hato was, the only person who noticed was Ayano. Soon it was six o'clock and the guests left, leaving Deidara and Sasori to clean up the mess. Naoto was too busy playing with his toys and Ayano was past out from over partying and having a crash from the sugar rush. "Save Hato some cake, un." Sasori smiled and nodded.
Deidara continued to clean and it soon came to the living room which was cluttered with new toys and wrapping paper. "Naoto, help me clean this up, un." "Okay!" the blond put down his new action figure to help Deidara stuff the wrapping paper in the big garbage bag. "Today was fun! I'm glad we had a birthday party!" Deidara half-smiled, "That's good, un."
Soon all that was left was the presents. "Who's are those?" Naoto asked, pointing to some neatly wrapped boxes. "Those are Hato's, un." Naoto looked confused. "Where is Hato?" "Sleeping, un." by the tone of Deidara's voice it just said not to push the conversation. Naoto flinched and looked down. He had no idea why his father was so upset with him... Maybe it was something he said?
Once the whole house was clean once again, it was time for bed. Naoto opened his bedroom door to see Hato sleeping in their bed, but something was wrong. Her eyes were clenched shut and her jaw was set. It looked like she was in pain. Naoto dismissed it as a bad dream and he got changed into his pajamas, climbing into their bed.
Naoto had good dreams right when his eyes closed. He was running through a meadow of flowers with Hato. She was smiling, something you rarely ever see. They were having a race, trying to see who could get to the big tree on top of the hill first. Naoto pushed his legs to go faster and they did. He won and when he turned around he saw Hato wasn't there.
He ran back to see she tripped and twisted her ankle. She was crying, holding the injured limb. She looked up at her brother for some help. "... Please, un..." he just looked down at her, confused. She held out her hand, not being able to get up by herself. He reached out his hand to help her up, but both of their auras flared causing them both to be pushed away from each other.
Naoto opened his eyes to see where he was. A desert. For some reason the heat didn't faze him at all, but somewhere in a far off distance he could see a silver gleam. Hato was on the beach and it was night time. Naoto tried to run to her, but once he tried to leave the desert it just grew. Hato looked back at him with tears streaming down her face.
She looked terrified and when Naoto was about to touch her she freaked out and backed away from him. Naoto saw his reflection in the puddle of water and he was confused. He was smiling calmly, as if nothing were wrong. He looked back at Hato who was in a ball, crying. Naoto sat up, sweating. That wasn't a dream, but a nightmare.
He looked at his sister, who's expression had calmed and it looked like she was finally sleeping peacefully.
