I was under the water, a huge force holding me there. My heart was slowing, my lungs were filling with water as I was unable to keep my breath held. A sickening screech was blocking out all other sounds. Somehow this bone shattering howl was clear even with the pressure of water in my ears. This seemed welcomed me to the darkness as I lost conscienceless.
I woke up then, not knowing were I was for a second or two before I released I was safe in bed. The nightmare, what I hope was just a nightmare, left me shivering under my covers. I attempted to go back to sleep, but this seemed like a worthless task. Unable to feel safe on my own I slipped out of bed and creeped over to Oz's room and knocked ever so slightly, he opened it a moment later. It was almost like he knew I would come knocking on his door at three in the morning.
"Bad dream?"He asked, I have been having nightmares for days now. This usually occurred when the Grimm's power was building, only a few of us had this, almost a tracking device to inform us of the danger growing around are leash, I was one of these few "lucky" members. We were relied on in times of danger. The nightmares continued to build lately, building the terror it caused. I couldn't hold back, I fell into Oz's arms and wept for the pain it would cause are family, are friends, and are world. He held me a while trying to sooth my tears. He kissed me on the forehead and whispered that everything would be all right. He allowed me to fall asleep in his arms that night. His warmth protecting myself from my nightmares and the feeling it caused, of being all alone in the world.
I awoke the next morning, after the first full nights rest I've had in over a month. The whole time we've been here. I turned around to see Oz watching me, I smiled up at him.
"Thanks" I said
"For what?"
"Allowing me stay in here, I actually slept" I joked.
He let out a deep laugh, "Sure anytime" He smiled "actually enjoyed it" He stared at me for a while. I looked down and smiled to myself.
"I better go get ready" I whispered, I stood up and walked out leaving him lying down where I once sat.
Jason's point of view
"Hey mom" I said walking into a breakfast of pancakes and sausage and gave her a kiss on the cheek "thanks" I said, it was my favorite. Ever since my dad died we've gotten a lot closer, it was now just me, my mom, and my brother Austin. Since he's only eight dads death was a lot harder on him. He never had a dad to teach him how to throw a ball or how to catch. I did these things instead, not wanting him to miss out because of something he had no control over. Because I am a baseball player, one of the best in the state, this part was easy for me, the hard part was being there for him like dad was for me.
"Hey sweet heart, two?"
"Yeah, I couldn't survive on just one."
"I'm sure you couldn't" she laughed, she then put a plate in front of Austin and ruffled his hair "When are you planning on getting your hair cut, when it reaches the floor?"
"Okay first it's not that long, and second I like it this length."
"So you'll get it cut on Saturday" She asked, he just stared at her untill we all burst out laughing.
I rushed out the door in order to get to school on time…on time for me, in all actuality early but I hated having to rush to first period and have the tardy slip following at my back. I pulled into my usual parking place and jumped out. Walking up Ryan came and greeted me. "Hey dude whats up?"
"Not much I said" grabbing his arm and pulling him into our usual bro hug. "Whats up with you?"
"You know the usgh,(shortened usual, don't know how to spell it, feel free to inform how you would i'm curious) been practicing your swing for the season?"
"A little" we meet on the baseball field when we were four and we've been best friends since. Although he was, more or less a jerk sometimes, that could never take away the years of friendship we've had, all he's done for me and I for him.
"Yeah me too, if only I could rely on instincts and not practice"
"I would pay for that day to come around" I joked, we separated to go to first period and later would meet up at lunch.
I walked through the lunch line getting a meal of pizza and milk. Then I walked over to the table that Ryan was already seated at and placed my tray down. Thats when he brought up how he was wanting to date Jenna once again, he wanted me too talk to her, we've always been wing men to one another but Jenna was just not right for him, he needed better. Now that I thought of it, he said the same when I started dating Abby. We ended up agreeing, he finds someone else if I brake up with Abby, so thats were I was needing to decide what to do.
