Lok`s POV
I woke up to the sound of crying. I looked over to see Sophie curled up in a ball, sobing in her sleep.
"Sophie," I said, shaking her. "Sophie wake up. You`re okay."This had been going on for a month now. She would either wake up screaming or cry in her sleep. I would try to soothe her . But sometimes it wouldn`t work.
She continued to cry harder as I tried to get her to wake. Then, all at once, the crying stopped and her eyes shot open. She took a shakey breath as she sat up.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I-I`m fine." Sophie said. Her hands were shaking and her hair was matted down with sweat. I wrapped my arms around herand she rested her head on my bare chest.
"Are you sure?"
"It was horrible." She admitted. "It was the same dream as always. But this time, they got Lucas too." We hadn`t seen Lucas since Sophie found out she was pregnant. In fact. We hadn`t seen any of her family at all. That made it all the worse.
"Everything`s gonna be fine." I said rubbing her back. "Nothings gonna happen to me, Nina or any of your family. I promise."
"They`re worse and worse every night. They won`t go away."
"Sophie," I said. "Everything will be fine. Don`t worry." I sat stroking her hair as her breathing evened out. "Nina will be just fine. So will your family."
"What if it`s not? What if these dreams mean something?"
"Nothing is going to happen to us. I woun`t let anyone get ahold of our daughter. And the Casterwills are a strong family. They can handel themselves."
"You sound so sure about this. How do you know it woun`t be? It seems like a gamble."
"In a way, it is. I don`t want you to worry."
"I can`t help it Lok. It`s the spell. It`s making this happen."
"I know. I know. Try and get some rest." Nina began to cry and Sophie`s head shot up. "I`ll go. You get some rest." She rested her head on her pillow and I kissed her head before going to the nursery. Nina lay in her crib. Arms reaching out for comfort. I picked her up and held her close. I wouldn`t let anything happen to her. I would protect her with my life. I rocked her slowly as her cries subsided.
"What am I going to do?" I asked myself. It had dawned on me how hard this would be. With the side affects doing this to Sophie and a newborn in the house. It was going to be hard. I wasn`t superman. Sure I was a good seeker but I was only human. I needed to help Sophie through this. And fast. I wouldn`t let this go to far. She could get hurt. Nina finaly fell asleep and I put her back in her crib. I went back to mine and Sophie`s room and laid down next to her. I kissed her cheek before slowly falling asleep myself.
