Kagome thrashed sitting up in the bed quickly, her heart hammering in her chest as flashes of green and lifeless faces danced behind her eyelids. Holding her right hand to her chest, she lifted her left to her forehead and wiped away the sweat.
'Figures, the nightmares from the Feudal Era disappear to be replaced with the Battle of Hogwarts.' She thought. Letting out a shaky breath she drew her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, wishing more than anything that Fred were here to keep the nightmares away.
Lifting her head from her knees as a cry reached her ears she climbed out of the bed, and padded along the floors pausing outside of George's room.
"George?" she called softly. Blankets being rustled harshly met her ears, sounds of distress making its way through the door.
Pushing the door open carefully, she bit her lip as he flung himself into a sitting position, shooting a spell into the opposite corner and lighting up the room.
"Hey, calm down, it's alright." Kagome said, rushing to his side.
"There was a Death Eater… a Death Eater in the corner… I got it… did I get it?" he rambled.
Kagome leaned over and turned the lamp on, the light illuminating the room. "You had a nightmare… have you had them often?"
George gripped his wand tighter, bracing his arm on his knee and holding his head. "It should have been me, Fred… I should have gotten him out of the way in time. We were both right there… I wish I could switch places with him, every night I wake up and I make that same wish."
Kagome placed a hand on his white knuckle, watching it release slowly around his wand.
"Please don't say that."
George turned his head, glancing at her out of the corner of his eyes. "Why? You'd have Fred back."
Kagome frowned, her eyes filling with tears. "Because then you wouldn't be here."
"But that's the point, I don't think I can do this anymore." George mumbled.
Leaning forward, Kagome wrapped her arms around George and laid her head on his shoulder. "Please George, you can't think like this. I can't loose you too. You're family needs you, I need you."
George sagged into her embrace and let his wand drop to the mattress. "Relax, I'm not going to do anything crazy. It's just how I've been feeling when I wake."
Pulling his arms though Kagome's hug, he wrapped his own around her as her tears began soaking through his shirt and placed his chin on the crown of her head. "Sorry."
