Infected
Chapter 7: Nightmares
"No...no...no..."
I said, repeatedly shaking my head. "Pillow, m-my best fr-friend..." Ava grabbed me and we started running. We sneaked past the Dusk Soldiers again, and we ran to our apartment. Thank god we didn't get caught. Ava placed me on the couch. "Cain? I'm...really sorry about pillow...we both are." ryan said, petting my head. I started sobbing, on the arm of the couch. "Come on, ryan. Let's go back to our room-" ava said, taking her little brother's hand and was about to leave, until,
"NO!"
Ava and ryan recoiled. "Please...no...d-don't leave me alone...please..." I begged, shaking ava. Ava placed a hand on my shoulder. "Well...if you really want us to stay, we're staying." she replied, giving me a warm smile. "Uh, cain?" ryan said, with his fox ears down. "Are you going to use your bedroom?" ryan asked. I quickly shook my head. "Go ahead..." I said. ryan smiled, running off to my room to sleep. Ava stayed beside me. She took off her yellow glowing stick and lied down. I tried not to cry hard as it got quiet. Soon, I fell asleep. Another nightmare. This time, it was about the scissor man. I was surrounded by beating hearts, which scared the heck out of me. I heard a familiar scream from above me. It was...
"AVA!"
She kept on screaming, screaming for her brother and me.
"RYAN! CAIN!
Then, I heard a loud splatter of blood and then, ava's cries of agony.
"AVA! NO!"
"Cain! Cain, wake up!"
"Wake up, cain!"
My eyes flew open as I saw ava trying to wake me up. "Cain, wake up! Wake up!" she said, shaking me. I finally was pulled away from my dream. "There, there, cain. It was a nightmare. No more screaming, okay?" ava said. I nodded, smiling. Then, I noticed that ava was on top of me. I blushed, then, ava replied,
"You were talking in your sleep..."
"I...I was?"
"You where talking about...me?"
I blushed harder. "Crap." I thought. "Cain? Why's your face red?" ava asked. "I...I...I..." I said, hesitating. I sighed, "Nothing...I'm fine..." I finally said. Ava smirked, as she stared right at me. "Uh...ava-" I said. Suddenly, soft lips touched mine. My eyes widen, ava kissed me. Then, I shut my eyes and kissed her back. Ava pulled away, my face is still red. "I think I found the reason why your face is always turning red." ava smiled, adorably. My redness of my face faded a little as I kissed her again. Ava wrapped her arms around me and returned it. I pulled away, feeling better about pillow, but I was still a little scared about the scissor man. But, I knew he couldn't get to us, the dusk soldiers are guarding the night. Ava and I spent a few minutes kissing each other.
"I love you, cain."
"I...I love you too, ava."
