Night Terrors
A Tales of Symphonia fanfiction by Kamui Archetype
The fic is set sometime after the pact with Volt has been made.
Tales of Symphonia is owned by Namco. All I own is the concept for this fic.

Noishe shivered as a cold chill ran across his spine, though the night air had nothing to do with it. Lloyd and the others had retired for the night, with the exception of Regal, who had volunteered to take the first watch and to wake the group should there be any threat coming.
But there would be one threat that would escape the notice of the former convict, one that had plagued Noishe almost nightly. The threat had come for Noishe for the first time shortly after the group had finished making the pact with Volt. Ever since, Noishe had been attacked relentlessly, both day and night, while Lloyd and his companions had taken no action to relieve the poor creature of its plight, almost as if they didn't notice!
In the past few weeks, though, Noishe had developed the same sense of danger for the threat that he had for monsters. This had allowed him to evade the threat during that time. Noishe had hoped that his tormentor had given up, but no such luck. He still found his foe searching for him daily. This time, Noishe's enemy would be successful in finding the frightened creature, as the group had camped out in an area with very little natural cover, none that Noishe could use effectively. There would be no escape this time. Noishe attempted to hide himself behind one of the few trees in the area. It was better than nothing, right?
Crickets chirped in the light of the full moon.
A soft breeze blew across the field for a short moment.
Noishe shook even more, his body betraying the terror he felt.

Noishe's ears perked as he picked up the sound of a foot stepping on a branch, followed by soft footsteps approaching his position. He could have tried to wake Lloyd or the others, but the last time he tried that, he was merely pushed away. Fighting the threat himself wasn't an option. Noishe was a bit of a coward, after all. He could only whimper and crouch down with his front paws over his eyes as his antagonist's shadow fell upon him.
"Hello, Noishe."
Noishe felt one of his front paws being gently pulled off of his head. He decided to risk a glance at his enemy, hoping against hope that his foe would take pity on him. No such luck. There would be no sleep for Noishe tonight.

Presea gave Noishe a gentle smile and, with an almost unnoticeable bit of mischief in her eyes, began her attack.
Poke, poke, poke.

Author's Notes:
Heh, I had this in mind for a while now after seeing the Poke Poke skit and the one where Regal gets the Paw Dandy title. This one-shot is actually set before the Paw Dandy skit. Though I don't know why I could never get ideas for my favorite characters immediately, though. You'd think I'd write about Raine first. I decided to put this under the "General" category since it'd spoil the surprise. Ah, well. Later then!
