*Haku's P.O.V*
Chichiro had finally fallen asleep, giving me some peace of mind. Suddenly his emotion changed from worried to slightly angry.
How dare she run off like that. Is she aware that there are some people here that want to hurt her? Maybe even KILL her! I can't control what everyone here does. This may be one single cast but it holds an entire city. People here have their own thoughts and opinions.
If I ever let her out of this room without me or Ariki she'll be lucky. I moved so I could lie besides her. I listened to her even breathing. She looked so peaceful. Her hair was still damp and so were her clothes. I would have to ask Ariki to find her some new ones and a brush for her hair. Her hair was tangled and messy, so of it was in her face so I gently pushed it away. The last of my anger melted away when she started to whimper. I knew she frequently had nightmares since I had watched her since she was little. I knew some of the dreams were silly like getting chased are falling but some were really bad like worrying about the day she would be sacrificed, but I hope she won't have that dream any more since it already happened. I took hold of her hand and with my other arm I wrapped it around her waist.
"Shhh… relax." I told her.
Oh no, I thought. She was starting to cry
"Don't cry."
She started to cry a little more.
"Chichiro," I shook her lightly, trying to wake her up. "Chichiro, wake up."
Her eyes shot open and she jolted up.
"Ouch!" She cried, grabbing her bruised bump. Tears started to roll down her cheeks and I pulled her to me.
"Shhh… come here."
She was too busy crying to argue with me. I needed to find out what upset her so much, I needed to protect her.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked her softly.
(Why is Chichiro crying? Major twists are coming up! You'll have to keep reading to find out. And I'll have to keep writing!)
