Sweet dreams
Aura paced her room. Dust layered her desk and shelves. It gleamed in the light shed by the moon. She tried to distract herself from her insomnia by reflecting upon the day.
Yue had taken a flight over the forest with them. Kero had found a small bitter cake for dinner with their poor rations for breakfast. He had persuaded Aura to change sweet to make the cake taste like he said cakes should. She had done just that.
Kero had gotten Yue to wrestle with him a little. Aura had been out hunting then and come back to find them playing like a couple of kittens. Kero had Yue's braid in his mouth and Yue had hold of Kerberos's ear. That had been pretty cute. Of course they had stopped when they realized she was back. Shame.
She sighed and looked back up at the stars in the sky. Her paws went up on the desk and her nose up against the glass.
'…' Her thoughts drifted to past events. Recent and distant. Her sky had so many stars. She gazed out to the cluster where she imagined her pack.
That was one of the worst things about her long nights. When she did get to sleep her dreams were always restless nightmares. Here eyes drooped tiredly and she ambled over to her bed and crawled in. If only she could get some sleep. But fall was coming now. School always had to start just in time for her insomnia.
Then again, she could fall asleep and have good dreams too. She had a card for that. She slipped over to the desk and dug through the deck. She pulled out Dream.
Soon a butterfly settled next to her, and she was asleep, dreaming of chases and hunts and old friends and places.
