Thread: Easing Her Nightmares (StormWolfsong & MysticSparxman)

Because Harley had never really had much involvement with the law before, he had never really fully understood how they may have dealt with something like this. It was why he felt surprised when she told him how they would have made her go back home if he were to call them. Hearing her say this caused him to shake his head back and forth a few times. No, they wouldnt make you go back, would they? The surprise could be heard in his voice as he had asked the question. If they knew the situation, Im certain they wouldnt make you go back to a place like that. They would put you in some sort of protection. They wouldnt make you go back there.at least I dont think they would. Harley genuinely didnt know if the law would make her go back to her father. It was for this reason that he felt as torn as he did. On the one hand, he did want to call the police to tell them about what had happened to Kaia, but on the other hand, he didnt want to call them just in case the girl was actually right. Harley wasnt too sure what to do. He could either listen to his head or to his heart. His head was telling him to call the police and report whoever did this to the police, but then his heart was telling him not to call them. When she told him that it wasnt a partner who did this to her, it started to make him think that it really could have been her father. This was only confirmed for him when he heard what she said next. There was a look of shock on his face as he found it hard to believe that a father could do such a thing to his own flesh and blood. Im in two minds as to whether to call them Kaia, I really am. He ran a hand slowly through his hair as he sighed to himself a little. My head is telling me to call the police to tell them what your father has been doing to you..but then my heart is telling me not to call them just in case they really do force you to go back there. Harley clearly sounded confused and unsure as to what he should do. Its not right that a father could do this to his child and he shouldnt be allowed to get away with it.but then I would feel really bad if I knew a call I made had put you back in a bad situation. He spoke in a soft tone and then fell silent for a few moments as he appeared to be thinking something over. He returned the focus of his attention back to her soon afterwards. I really should call them..but I wont for now. He said clearly unsure as to whether he was making the right decision or not. He laughed a little bit when she told him how cold she was. Im not surprised youre feeling cold, especially considering you were out in that storm. Its never a good idea to be out in weather like that for too long, so I guess its lucky I found you when I did. Who knows what would have happened to you if I didnt. Not only would your cold have gotten worse, possibly developing into something more, but theres always the possibility the authorities could have eventually picked you up at some point. Anyway, you dont have to thank me for anything Kaia. Its really no problem, and besides, its not as if I was going to be using this room anyway. Ive only just recently moved here myself. He flashed her a small smile as he moved over to the edge of the bed just in case she wanted to lay down. You know if youre feeling cold, I could always get you more blankets. I could even get you a mug of hot chocolate to warm you up, or I could turn up the heating for you. I really dont mind Kaia. It wouldnt take me that long to make a mug of hot chocolate anyway, and there are extra blankets in the closet just over there. He said, pointing to the walk in closet that was against the left wall of the bedroom. And if you want to go back to sleep, Ill go back into my own room if you want me to. I just came in here when you were sleeping because you were having a nightmare, so if you want me to leave if you want to go to sleep, just say so okay.
