This is Chapter 2 of The Unquiet Sleepers, posted on request from Togemon! Thanks for the nice reviews guys! So, here we are, Togemon!

Disclaimer : I don't own Danny, Dick Hallorann, or Wendy. These wonderful characters belong to Stephen King, a very lucky and talented man. However Rose belongs to me. She is not a Mary Sue. If I owned Danny, I wouldn't share. And I would not be writing about him, either! ;)



The Unquiet Sleepers - The Shining 2

Chapter 2 BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

Dick Hallorann was asleep. Comfortably asleep in a hotel room near Goldell road. There was no noise at all, no wind, nothing. But all of a sudden he was awake. And confused.

(what the hell?)

He sensed a presence somewhere near him.

(rose)

It seemed to get louder.

(ROSE)

and louder

(ROSE ROSE ROSE)

Then the smell of oranges entered his nostrils, thick and suffocating, and his forehead creased in a grimace of pain.

(!!!DICK THIS IS ROSE DANNY DANNY TORRANCE HE'S SICK WE'RE ON GOLDELL ROAD PLEASE HURRY DICK!!!)

He rocked after the shout and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He flew to the door and dashed downstairs, tripping over twice in his haste, and threw himself out of the Hotel swing door.

(please hurry dick please hurry)

He began to run.

Not far off, Danny Torrance's eyes opened. He was lying in the lap of a young woman, who was crying, he noticed.

(she's worried about me)

He stirred and moaned as a headache throbbed behind his temples. The young woman looked down at him anxiously. She uttered an exclamation of surprise when she saw that Danny was fully awake.

"Danny?"

Danny shook his head slightly, wondering if he had seen properly. He was in the arms of an angel.

"Am I. dead?" he asked in a small teary voice.

"Of course not. You're on Goldell road with me!" The angel said, hugging him.

"But you're an angel!"

The angel blushed a deep plum colour.

"I'm. I'm not an angel, honey. I'm. my name is Rose."

"Rose the angel. That's a funny name for an angel."

"Danny, I'm. never mind!" she said as she picked up a train of thought from him. She swallowed hard and blushed even darker.

(I'm in an angel's arms I want to stay here forever why do I feel like this I've never felt this way before)

A tear dripped down her cheek.

(angel what's wrong?)

She answered aloud.

"Danny. Dick's coming. we're gonna be okay. I'm fine. I was just so worried about you. I."

(angel worries about me I think this feeling is what mummy calls lo)

"Danny? DANNY? ROSE???"

It was Dick, running towards them, looking worried and panicked.

"It's us, Dick, we're here." Rose said weakly.

"Danny? Are you okay, son?" he said anxiously.

"I'm fine." Danny lied. His headache was still very painful and he was starting to ache all over.

(no you're not son) Dick said inside his head.

Danny put his thumb in his mouth and snuggled against Rose.

"Dick, he's not well at all." Rose said tearfully.

"She's an angel, Dick. Rose the angel."

Dick laughed, although he was still worried out of his mind.

"Rose, could we come to your house? Please?"

"Of course." Rose stood up with Danny in her arms and began to walk down Goldell road, Dick in tow.

(Danny Danny Danny Danny.)
