By this time, Collin trusted me enough to let me stay with the others, as long as I checked in every so often. One night, Chloe sang a lullaby. I can't recall the exact words, but I remember it having a demonic theme to it.
It missed Alan and me, but everyone else was put to sleep. "We should probably stay awake, make sure she doesn't kill anyone."
"You sleep, Alan. I made a promise to myself that I'd protect Flarey; I intend to keep it."
Alan seemed puzzled for a moment, then had a look of understanding. He lied down and went to sleep.
I changed into Umbreon and hid in a shadow, keeping an eye on Chloe. She soon fell asleep, but I wasn't about to let her off that easy. I shifted a bit to keep myself awake, accidentally snapping a twig in the process. I heard a yawn beside me; someone was waking up.
"Oh, Lego! Sorry for waking you."
"Tenkai?" Lego asked groggily. "I thought you were a Vaporeon. Do you have an amulet, too?" he added. I hadn't noticed before, but he had an amulet similar to the one I had made long ago.
"Well, I don't need the amulet."
"Cool! What are you doing up so late?"
I motioned toward Chloe. "I'm making sure she doesn't kill anyone."
"Oh," Lego yawned. "Well, I'm going back to sleep."
"Sweet dreams."
Yeah, yeah, I know, another short one... -~-
I didn't want to break the flow young me had, okay?
