Chapter 3 of The Unquiet Sleepers. I hope you like it so far. Thank you for
all the nice reviews, everybody!
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! ;)
I'd like to thank Togemon for the support on this story. I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't for you! So thank you!
The Unquiet Sleepers - The Shining II
Chapter 3 NEW FEELINGS
Rose was sitting on the edge of the bath rocking Danny, who was whimpering quietly into her neck.
"Shush." she kept saying. "Shush, everything is okay." But she wanted to cry herself. There was a large lump in her throat and no matter how many times she swallowed it refused to dissolve. She was feeling something she'd never felt before.
(i don't know what i feel why)
Dick had gone to phone Wendy, who was somewhere where Rose didn't know. She didn't care either. All she cared about was Danny.
"What's wrong, Danny? Is there anything I can do?" she said shakily.
"I feel. different." Danny said quietly.
"Different?"
"Horrible. Achy. My head hurts. And. I feel different. in my stomach."
"Does it hurt?"
"No. Yes. Um. it doesn't hurt like a pain. It hurts like a feeling."
"What kind of feeling?"
"I don't know. It's a feeling I've never had before."
"I. I. feel the same." Rose admitted. "Well, I've felt it before in a way, but not. this strongly."
"Where's Dick?"
"He's gone to phone your Mummy."
"I don't want to leave you."
They looked at each other closely. Danny thought Rose still looked like an angel. He began to cry suddenly and clung onto Rose, his arms tight around her neck.
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know." he sobbed. He leaned against her and the tears flowed more easily.
"I'm sorry. I made your t-shirt all wet."
"It doesn't matter, Danny. Nothing matters except you."
(did I just say that?)
He wept into her shirt as she held him tightly. Rose wanted to hold him forever.
"I wish I knew what this MEANS!!!" he choked suddenly, his voice still thick with tears.
"So do I Danny." Rose said. "So do I."
She hugged him as hard as she could, not wanting to move.
(if only I could die this way) she thought (and say goodbye to the business of living)
*LATER*
It was only when Danny had left with Wendy that Rose realised that she had fallen in love with him.
