Thread: Easing Her Nightmares (StormWolfsong & MysticSparxman)

Harley didnt really know who Kaias father was, but he knew he couldnt have been a good person. He sighed softly as she told him that her father wouldnt believe she were dead until he saw a body. He genuinely did feel sorry for her. Sorry that she had such a terrible father. Even though he barely knew her, Harley couldnt help but feel slightly responsible for the younger girl. Sure, she may only have been a few years younger than he was, but he still felt as if he had to keep her safe. As bad as it is for me to say it is unfortunate that he wont believe you are gone until he sees proof. But dont worry too much Kaia as I will do all I can to keep you safe here. Like I said before, there is no-one here who knows who I am, and as long as your picture doesnt end up plastered across the news, then you should be okay here. He shifted on the bed, pulling his leg up and underneath him. When I take you out with me, if anyone asks, I will just say that you are..my second cousin. We will say you were staying with your parents but they had to go away so they asked me to look after you for the months in which they are away, He didnt really know what she was going to make of his suggestion, but he hoped she would be okay with it. Harley genuinely had no idea how long Kaia had been outside in the storm. It was just like he didnt know how long she had been on the run either. Harley did want to ask her, but he figured it would probably be better to ask her after she had rested up. After all, he could see how tired she was, and on top of that, she almost looked as if she may have been coming down with something too. He knew that any questions he might have for her could wait. He smiled softly as she told him how she could wait for a hot drink until after she had rested. That is fine, really it is. I will make you a hot drink in the morning then. Anyway, you dont have anything to thank me for Kaia. I dont mind doing all of this for you as it would have been wrong to just leave you out there, He looked down at her as she had laid back after he had put the extra blankets on the bed. Kaia.how long were you out there? How long have you been running from your father? He had absolutely no idea if she would want him to stay and hold her again as she slept. It was probably why he had asked her in the first place. There was a part of Harley that was almost expecting her to tell him she didnt want him to stay with her, so he did feel a little surprised when she actually told him something different. He thought on what she said for a moment before he finally nodded his head. Okay, I will stay here with you tonight Kaia.just as long as you are sure you actually want me to stay with you, He spoke ever so softly to her as he had said this to her. A small smile formed on his face and he shook his head in response to her question. I am okay, really I am. I have slept for an hour maybe, but it could be a little longer. I was concerned about you, so I stayed awake to see if you were going to be okay. When I could see that your nightmares had stopped, I tried to get to sleep. I did eventually manage to drop off to sleep, but then you woke up. I was heading up to bed before I found you outside. As I was heading upstairs, I heard you outside. I found you out there, brought you in hereand uhh.well uhh.your clothes were soaked right through.so I had to get you out of them.but dont worry as I didnt look. Anyway, I dried you as best I could and put you into this bed. I returned to my room but then you started having a nightmare, so I came back in here, He spoke softly as he laid down beside her. Harley turned on his side so that he was facing her and smiled a little. Come on Kaia, come and get some sleep. You will probably feel better in the morning.
