Ohhh, my head! Wait a minute, not my head. It's on a pillow. Huh?
Right, let's think back. Went diving in the Pacific. Swam around looking for Angel. Found he'd gone missing. Got knocked over the head. Ah ha! There lies the reason for the pain in my noggin. Except now I'm resting, in a bed. Someone knocked me unconscious and left me to go to sleep. Well aren't these the world's greatest kidnappers! Spoke to soon, oh God! My pillow's moving. That would be because it's not a pillow. Am I going insane? What was I resting my head on then? It's someone's chest. It can't be. Now I really hope I'm not insane. It's Angel. It's my Angel. He's here, in the same bed I am. The people who knocked me out must have been the same people who took him. God knows how long he's been with whoever stole him, cause he's not as thin as a vampire who hasn't been feeding should be. This is good, you know, that he's had some blood. He won't be as ravenous and as primal as I expected.
He's shifting in his sleep. His brow is furrowing up. He's dreaming again. Nightmares. Tormented every night. At least he's managed to sleep through it. He's not waking up. Will I have to go through this for a century before being able to sleep peacefully? I bloody hope not. At least now I understand what he's going through. He reminds me of those dogs that you can see running in their sleep, mentally chasing cats or something. He can feel himself doing something, and he's trying to stop it. Reliving the past. I've got to calm him down. There you go. Shhh now...
This is a right change, I'll tell you that much. Me watching him. It's not supposed to be like this. It never was. Back in the day it was very much the other way around.

Author's Note: My chapter titles started out being normal, now they're getting more and more cryptic. Prize to whomever can decipher them all...
I'm so not the type to plead, so I'm just going to drop a few hints here and there. If you want a writer to get better... they need feedback. Especially in situations where they are writing their first fanfic... My, would you look at that anvil!
