Thank you for the review.

I don't own Class of the Titans or the song.


It took us one or two hours to make a good shelter, especially since a snow storm was beginning. At least, it's big enough of us to not be all against each other and, since we placed the roof a little high, we can stand up without the fear to hit our head.

Also, I had to cure Atlanta, even if she wasn't agreeing. I banded her right wrist, I had to disinfect her right eye, her nose, the border of her mouth and her left cheek. Need to say, that guy really gave her a bad moment. I'm glad she doesn't have other wounds like internal bleeding.

Right now, she's sleeping a little away from us. She wants to prove to all of us she's alright to pass the night alone. Well, for now, she's right. All the guys are asleep, I'm the only one awake. Thank gods, Neil is not snoring too loud tonight. I'm slowly falling asleep, slowly feeling my mind going away. Like I lost all possibility to move my bo- never mind. I'm wide awake. Atlanta started to make panic noises.

I'm groaning as I'm sitting. I'm looking at Atlanta and she seems to be fighting invisible monsters. Nightmare. I knew she was going to have one after what happen today. I'm going to her, carefully. I don't want any of the team to wake up and see Atlanta in a state like that. It would be terrible for her reputation.

''Lanta. Wake up.'' I'm saying as I'm shaking her shoulder. She's waking up and I'm quickly placing a hand on her mouth. She was to scream. Guess I should go softer when I woke her up. ''Calm down, it's me. It was just a nightmare.''

''For heaven sake, you almost give me a heart attack.'' She's saying between her teeth after she pulled out my hand from her mouth.

''Sorry but you were closer to wake up someone.'' And I'm not joking. Herry and Theresa were making some warning sounds, signaling they were closer to wake up, before I woke up Atlanta. She wasn't quiet with her fighting and panicking noises.

''Still. Anyway, thanks for... you know...'' She's saying as she's looking away.

''Always. Well, if everything is fine, I'll get back to sleep.'' I'm saying as I'm standing up. I was to go to my spot when I felt a hand on the bottom of my pants, forcing me to stay. ''Lanta?''

''Can I... sleep with you?'' I can feel in her voice she's afraid. I'm sighing and I'm looking at her.

''You know, you don't have to ask.'' I'm telling her and I'm smiling at her blushing and surprise face. I'm going to my spot and I'm going under my cape. Whoa! As I was to place my cape correctly, Atlanta ran with her speed to be against me. I'm smiling as I'm taking her in my arms.

''Too much for not being afraid.'' She's whispering and I'm kissing her head.

''If that's too much for you, tell to the others that you were freezing during the night.'' I'm telling her. It's a good excuse and since its winter, I think the others will believe her.

''Yeah, I'll try.'' She's whispering before I'm trying to fall asleep. Yeah, try. Atlanta is sitting, raising my cape. Damn, she only tried to sleep for 4 minutes. Guess I won't sleep tonight.

''Alright, what's the matter?'' I'm asking as I'm sitting too. She's looking down. She really looks like a lost child right now.

''I can't sleep. If I close my eyes, I keep see what that man did to me and... what he... tried to-'' I had to stop her with a hug. I mean, her voice totally cracked and she was closer to cry. I'm placing my chin on top of her head.

''No need to tell me more.'' I'm telling her and she's not moving. I'm looking up, trying to find to strength for both of us and I really wonder how I will manage.

''Why I still go forward? Why I don't stop? These nightmares are killing me.'' She's whispering and I'm taking a breath. I really don't know what to do. Unless- Yeah, that could work.

I'm lying on my back, forcing Atlanta to follow me. We're both lying and she's looking at me, telling me wordless that she doesn't want to lie down. I know it's really weird but I'm singing Lavender's Blue as I'm caressing her head. My mother did that to me so many times whenever I had a nightmare and I was too afraid to even fall asleep.

I knew it was weird, Atlanta is lightly giggling but, thank gods, her eyes are beginning to shut. I'm repeating the lullaby until I'm sure she's asleep. I'm kissing her forehead, bringing her closer to me and I'm closing my eyes.

''You must love me, dilly, dilly, 'cause I love you.'' I'm singing softly, knowing only Atlanta could hear me. I'm slowly falling asleep, having in my mind the image of me, little, with my mom sit next to me, singing that song. I'm feeling my heart hurting and a tear's going down of my cheek. I'm missing her so much.


I'm going to be honest, before I wrote that chapter, I never heard the lullaby Lavender's Blue before(I don't know so many lullaby in English). I was trying to think a lullaby that was important for Archie. It's the word lavender in the title that caught my attention(I'll let you get why).
