Chapter 6

"H-he killed you, all of you were dead!"

The door bursts open and all four boys, led by Gladio, run into the room. "What's the matter?!" Ignis rushes to my side and seeing his green eyes full of life makes me throw myself at him. I drape my arms around him and cry into his shirt, not caring about how awkward it is or what anyone thinks.

"She must've had a nightmare, she woke up screaming and had her hands around her throat. 'Musta been pretty bad too 'cause she looked at me like she'd seen a ghost." Samn's explanation seems to satisfy them as Ignis relaxes and runs a bare hand through my hair before putting the other on my back.

"Shh…it's alright, we're all here now, everything will be fine." I turn my head and sniff the tears away, the other boys are not too far away, looking tired and disheveled. Prompto's eyes meet mine and he's a mix of scared and concerned but otherwise alive.

I wipe my face and back off Ignis until I'm back to where I was, Ignis moves with me and continues to rub my back to comfort me.

You're fine it was only a dream…he won't come for a while and even then, he won't hurt us until the very end…and she'll survive…everyone will…except maybe Noct…

I finally compose myself and am able to speak. "You must think I'm a giant crybaby…" Gladio scoffs and I glance back up with my vest fake smile I can muster up. "I'm real sorry you had to see that…"

"You okay?" Prompto fidgets, his eyes showing concern.

"Yeah, I am now…just a really bad nightmare." I pull my legs in and cross them as I pull the covers back over myself.

"M'glad to hear that's all it was. We thought someone was trying to kill you in here." Gladio folds his arms across his bare chest.

Well in a way…someone kinda was…

"You heard me scream?" Everyone nods as my face heats up with embarrassment. "Oh…"

"Hey, it's okay. Shit happens." For the first time, Noct speaks to me.

"Yeah, Noct is right. Everyone has a scary nightmare or two, no need to make a huge deal out of it." Prompto tries to cheer me up like the literal ray of sunshine he is. I smile and then it hits me that they look disheveled because they're all in their pajamas, which for everyone aside from Gladio, is a t-shirt and sleep pants.

"Um…how early is it…?" Noct groans looking extra tired.

Oh man…poor Noct, I know he's not a morning person…

"It's before sunrise." I turn as Ignis answers my question and blush as I take in his early morning appearance. His glasses are on, but his hair isn't styled up like a cockatoo like normal, it's down and swishes sideways increasing his handsome meter ten-fold. He pushes his glasses up onto his nose as Noct sighs.

"And y'know what that means?" He starts walking away toward the door.

"Back-to-bed-time?" I smile, and he turns around.

"Exactly. I like the way you think." He looks at Ignis. "I'll be in our room." Gladio looks at him, puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head.

"I'll go explain what happened to the owner." Iggy nods and Prom Yawns.

"You sure you're okay? 'Cause I didn't sleep well and…"

"I'm fine Prom, go ahead and go back to bed." I smile, and he scratches the back of his head.

"If you're sure…laterz…"

"Laterz Prom." He yawns, waves and then heads out the door behind Gladio.

I sigh feeling miserable, Ignis had stopped rubbing my back when Noct left and the lack of is starting to catch up with me. "I'm sorry I've caused you so much trouble Ignis…" I look up at him and he's pinching the bridge of his nose.

"That's quite alright, you've been through an ordeal, I'm not surprised you had a night terror." He sighs tiredly and looks back down at me, causing me to blush.

"Are you gonna go back to bed?"

"No…I normally wake around this time anyway, but if you're sure you're alright I'd like to go make some Ebony and perhaps start on breakfast."

I bet he's a royal mess without his Ebony…

"Yeah, I'm good. Go make some." He smiles and rises with a stretch, giving me a slight view of his midriff. My eyes feel like they go wide and if this were an anime back home I'd prolyl get a nosebleed. He places his hands on his hips and pulls my attention back.

"I'll come fetch you when breakfast is done but try to rest until then." I nod trying not to think about his very prominent hip bones.

"Sure."

And with that Adonis-err Ignis leaves the room. Exhausted I sigh and flop back onto the bed.

"You didn't tell them about their deaths…Why not?" Her question is blunt, but it doesn't faze me, I just turn my head to look at her as she sits on her bed.

"No one needs to know how they died…and they probably would have asked who did it, and I can't tell them that…" Her eyes change to understanding.

"Oh…"

"Yeah…" A few silent seconds pass and I look back up at the ceiling.

"You gonna go back to sleep?" I snap my head back to her and stare at her like she's crazy.

"Fuck no!"

Why would I want to open myself up for more nightmares?

"Wanna start training early, then?" She seems ready and raring to go, I sigh, knowing she's gonna kick my ass.

"Yeah I guess…" A smile crosses her face and I can't help but think she's gonna enjoy this a little too much.

"Great, I think I saw some bananas or something in the kitchen, why don't you grab one for the both of us and then meet me outside. I just gotta go get some training gear from Ignis first." She stands and changes into 'training clothes' as she talks, which is really just sweats and a tank top, before running out the door. I sigh, sitting all alone.

My first real day in Eos and not only did I wake all of Longwythe, but my creation is about to beat the shit out of me…what a great start to a day…

So yeah, that was a pretty rough chapter I know…I cried a few times while writing it, but I uploaded it in a way where you can go right on through to the next one. So onto the new faves and follows I guess. Thanks to Raseba for doing both, I hope you didn't cry too hard. There are a few more followers but not as many favorites. So I think it starts at Jen Pharoah, and then Ankaia and then Raseba was after that so thanks guys ^^ But there are no new reviews so I guess that's it for now. Leave a review even it it's just telling me to go F myself because I made you cry. But see you next time.
