Thread: Easing Her Nightmares (StormWolfsong & MysticSparxman)

Harley didnt know anything about the girl he had found on his porch. Still, after seeing the bruises on her body, something told him that she was running away from something or someone quite terrible. When he had told her his name, he didnt really know if she would tell him her name in return, but he did hope she would. Harley remained where he was in the bed and his eyes remained on the girl as she had hugged herself tighter than before. When she had looked back to him, he could see the tears forming in her eyes and he could see that she was upset about something. He smiled a little bit and nodded his head when she finally did tell him her name. Kaia? Thats a nice name. He spoke in a soft yet friendly tone as he had said this to her. He was still sat up in the bed as she had laid back down in the bed, and when she did, he caught a brief glimpse of her breasts before she pulled the blanket back up to her shoulders. Some confusion could be seen on his face as she had apologized and asked him not to call the authorities. Hey, Im not going to call anyone right now. Its way too late to call anybody, but I wont call anyone you dont want me to..and what do you mean you cant go back there? Cant go back where? As she had turned on her side to face him, Harley adjusted his position so he was facing her some more. A look of concern formed on his face as she told him how she wouldnt survive if she went back. Still, he didnt know what place she didnt want to go back to. No, you dont have to pay me back for anything Kaia, and youre really no trouble at all. He managed a small smile. I admit I didnt expect to find you out on my porch, but Im not going to throw you out if you dont have anywhere else to go. If you were to leave here, then theres no other house for a few miles.but what do you mean you wont survive if you go back? What are you afraid to go back to? His voice was a soft whisper, but it was still full of concern for her. Has it got something to do with your nightmares? He asked in a curious tone. You were talking in your sleep during your nightmare and..you spoke about your..father. He didnt really know if he was pushing things too far by mentioning her father, but at the same time, he still knew that he had to ask her. You really dont have to tell me if you dont want to okay. Looking down at her, Harley pulled his knees up to his chest. I dont know what youve been through Kaia.but umm..when you were sleeping.I saw the bruises on your shoulder and side. His voice had grown softer now. Is that why you ran away? Were you running away from a violent partner or something? Is that why you dont want me to call the authorities? Because you cant let someone get away with being violent towards you. The authorities would be on your side if I were to call them for you. He paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. Are you certain that you dont want me to call the authorities? He asked in a curious tone, even though there was a small part of him that already felt as if he may have known the answer already. Ohumm, how are you feeling Kaia? You dont look too good at the moment. Would you like a glass of water or something?
