Ch. 5: Ryan

I wake up and again I am awoken not knowing where I am but the screaming sounds familiar and loud. I cover my ears and get off the table, trip in the darkness and fall on top of Mary. She is still screaming and I wake her up by nudging her awake. She looks around widely and focuses on what would probably be my dark outline. She sits up throws herself into me and I just hold her stroking her hair which she curled for some reason. Finally I ask an awkward question, should I sleep with you Mary, if you want? Mary just replies with a sobbed yes so we both lay down and she asks me to hold her until she goes to sleep. I hold her and after a bit I feel her relax a little and I give her a kiss on the head. She spins around to face me and kisses me back and holds me until I find out just how tired she is. She fell asleep kissing me, I could tell because she kinda fell back down on the bed. Well so much for that. I lay down next to her and fall into the first dreamless sleep in a long time. I awake and see Mary is still asleep, but that doesn't stop me from waking her. I gently nudge her a couple of times and she awakes startled but I just kiss her again and she calms down again. So I ask the most stupid and likely question to get her pissed at me. "What are you going to make for breakfast?" I ask in the greatest impression of Raynor I can do. She giggles and gently shoves me away and sits up. Well that's weird the last time I did that, oh crap not again I think as I am back in the cave. I let go of Mary after a very long kiss that gives me the courage to talk and jog Raynor out of his scared position. "Raynor get the girls back and grab your spear!" I holler. Raynor doesn't move though, it's as if he is petrified with fear. "Audrie what's wrong with him?" I ask. She replies that a wolf almost killed him before when he was young. "Hold on Ryan." Audrie says. She moves over to Raynor kisses him while holding she says to him two words "help us". He seems jarred out of some dream world and back to the danger coming at us. But I know it's too late the wolves are already in the cave and coming right toward us.
