002 – I'm Here

He wakes up screaming.

Cattleya rushes into the room, nightgown fluttering against her legs, in a panic.

On the bed, her little brother howls and screams. He tosses, caught in the sheets. He's scared. He's afraid. He's wild and confused. He tears at his eyes.

In a second she is by his side, comforting, soothing. 'Hush, hush,' she says, holding him in her arms and pulling him close. He buries his head in the crook of her neck, recognizing her familiar scent, and clings to her like a lifeline. Slowly, he stops screaming. Gradually, he begins to calm down.

She rubs his back and begins to hum a lullaby.

'The water is wide, I cannot get over..'

He sobs and hiccups, held tight. He has woken her in the night with a frightful screaming. Again. He apologizes. She holds him, and can do nothing but wonder what sort of nightmares, into what depth of darkness, her brother plunges into in his sleep.
