Chapter 47
The sleep potion takes effect fairly quickly, and I fall asleep almost as soon as I lie down. The nightmares are dark and disturbing. I don't normally have them when Naboo gives me a potion, though. Maybe something went wrong? Maybe I'm in trouble, and he's doing it on purpose? Maybe he was so annoyed, he wanted the nightmares to come? Maybe he's just doing it because he feels like it? People have done that before, hurt me just to see me upset or in pain. For fun.
Naboo wouldn't do that, though. Would he? It's not safe to trust people, I should know that by now. Trusting is stupid, and dangerous, and wrong. It only gets you hurt. But he wouldn't. Naboo wouldn't do that. He couldn't.
"You're awake." Saboo states. He's standing in the doorway. I back into the wall, my head bowed. Naboo might have promised not to hurt me, but I haven't know Saboo for that long. I don't know what he'll do. He walks over to the bed. "We need to talk." I back further away from him. "Stay still." I freeze. "Why did you do it?"
"I wanted to know ab…"
"Not faking sleep. We'll talk about that later. There's something more important."
