Chapter 2
Nightmares
Molly awoke with a start. Her forehead was dripping with sweat and her eyes were filled with fear. She looked around the trailer. There was nothing there. Margot was breathing softly below her and Lori was asleep across the way. In Molly's arms was a teddy bear that she had since she was little. She wiped her forehead and very quietly walked outside of the trailer. She looked around to see that no one was outside. She sighed and took a seat underneath a tree.
"Hey, what's you doing out so late Princess?" Duncan asked coming out from behind the tree.
"I couldn't sleep," Molly said looking at him. She blushed realizing that she was in her pjs.
"Nice pajamas princess," he smirked and sat by her.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" Molly asked. Duncan shrugged and then went back to sharpening his knife.
"So, there a certain reason why you couldn't sleep?" he asked not looking at her.
"I had a nightmare," Molly said looking at her feet.
"Nightmares are just images in your head," Duncan replied, "They aren't real,"
"I know, this one just seemed pretty real to me," Molly replied.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Duncan asked coming over and sat next to her.
"Talk about it, with you?" Molly looked at him with a look. "Ha! That's a laugh!"
"Who knows I might actually listen," Duncan said. "But I see you don't trust me!"
Molly couldn't believe her ears. The jerk who had laughed at her for falling and being late today was willing to listen to her talk about her nightmare. She suddenly realized that maybe Duncan wasn't too bad, she still didn't like him but she felt differently about him.
"I don't know," Molly trailed back her doubts.
"Well, that's your fault Princess," Duncan said with a smirk as he stood up. "I might not be here to listen when you're ready to talk,"
"Well, maybe I don't want to talk to a person like you," Molly said with a growl.
"I don't know, you might change your mind!" Duncan said returning to the trailer. "See you later Princess,"
"I doubt it," Molly said turning away from him. "Jerk!" she muttered under her breath as she looked up at the midnight sky.
"Molly?" Margot asked.
"Hey Margot, sorry did I wake you?" Molly asked.
"No, I went to get a drink of water but I saw you weren't in bed and I wanted to know if you were ok." Margot said.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine," Molly smiled. "No worries!"
"Alright, come on we need to get some sleep for tomorrow," Margot said.
"Right," Molly nodded.
"Were you talking with Duncan?" her friend asked.
"Yeah, sort of," Molly answered looking back at where Duncan had gone.
"That guy is such a creep," Margot said.
"Oh, I don't know…" Molly said with a tiny smile, "He's not that bad!"
