Thread: Easing Her Nightmares (StormWolfsong & MysticSparxman)

Harley had settled down into his bed and he didnt go to sleep straight away. Firstly, he wasnt too tired, so he just rested his head against his pillow and put his hands behind his head as he looked up towards his ceiling. As he did, his thoughts went back to the girl that he had found. Harley had absolutely no idea who she was or where she had come from, but he figured it would have been better to ask her in the morning. So, thats what he decided he was going to do. Still, he couldnt help but how long she had been out there, especially when he thought about how wet her clothes were when he had found her. He figured she must have been out there for quite some time if she had gotten that wet. Hmm, I wonder who she is and where she came from? He muttered to himself as he stared up at the ceiling. Harley honestly didnt know what he was going to do with the girl when she woke up in the morning. The only thing he did know was that he was going to have to find out whether she was just lost or if she had any parents she could go back to. Either way, he knew it was going to have to wait until the morning when he was hoping she would be feeling well enough to talk to him. A yawn escaped his lips, and then he rubbed his eyes a few times as he started to feel tired. Harley was just about to turn over on his side to go to sleep when he was sure he heard something coming from the other room. He couldnt be sure, but it almost sounded like a scream. At first, he didnt think too much of it, and he closed his eyes, but a few seconds later, he heard something again. This caused him to open his eyes and sit up. Harley listened closely and soon he was able to hear it more clearly. It sounded like the girl may have been having a nightmare, and it sounded like quite a bad one too. Of course he was tempted just to leave her and hope that her nightmare would stop soon enough, but then he knew just how bad some nightmares could be, and he also knew just how long some of them could last. It was as he was thinking about this that he finally decided what he was going to do. Pushing his blankets down to the bottom of his bed, he swung his legs off the side of his bed and got to his feet. He quietly walked from his bedroom and stopped just outside the door of the room the girl was staying in. Slowly, he pushed open the door and looked inside. As his eyes came to rest on the girl, he could see that she was indeed having a nightmare, and it must have been a really bad one too. Of course he was only able to come to this conclusion after seeing her hands around her throat and tears falling down her cheeks. Poor girl. He whispered to himself as he stepped into her room. He was quiet as he made his way over to her bed. When he reached her bed, he stopped and looked down at her for a few moments. He knew that it wasnt such a good idea to try to wake her up from her nightmare. With a deep breath, he leaned over her and gently removed her hands from around her throat, placing them down by her sides. After doing so, he pulled back her blankets a little bit and then he climbed into the bed besides her. Harley pulled the blankets back up to their shoulders, and then he turned on his side and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Resting his head on the pillow, he started to gently run his fingers through her hair in an attempt to ease her nightmares. Shhh.its okay. He whispered to her as his fingers continued to move softly through her hair.
