Run

Eighty

He looks down and pulls me onto his bed. He falls asleep.

Dream.

I see Willow getting beat up. Oh my god! Who is that beating him up? Is that his dad? Oh no! The dad leaves.
"Willow," a voice calls.
Who is that? The dad leaves.
"Willow," a voice calls. Suddenly he disappears and Walken appears.
Who is that? He looks until he sees a ghostly figure. Who's this ghostly figure?
"Follow me Willow."
Creepy.
"Why?"
"Do you want to die here?"
"..."
Die?!?!
"I'll take that as a no... come on."
I look down. They leave the house. Where is he taking him? That's weird. Willow looks around scared and confused. Walken sighs and walks over. I sigh.
"Are you okay?"
His stomach growls. Was that other guy evil?
"Are you hungry?"
"I'm starving... but I don't know where I am... Father has locked me in the house for so long I don't remember the outside world."
He did that?
"I'm so lost."
Oh my god.
"Here there's a Subway over there."
Where is he gonna go?
"Okay."
They walk into the Subway. He inhales the scent fast food.
"Mmm."
Fast food is good...
"I'll get whatever you want."
"Really?"
He's nice.
"Go on pick out your food."
I smile.
"Okay!"
I sigh.
"Get as much as you want."
Oh wow. He smiles. They walk over to the counter. I sigh. They each get two and he also gets him a cookie. I smile. He leads Willow to an apartment. Is that where he lives?
"I'm staying here for now... I would like you to stay here with me."
That's nice.
"Okay."
I sigh. He hugs him. I smile. They walk inside. I look around. He gives him a bottle.
"What's this?"
What is that?
"It's a bottle of courage... whenever you need it it'll fill up."
He needs courage?
"Okay?"
We hear something. What was that?
"Can I call you Papaw?"
"Yes."
We hear another loud noise.
"You must run."
Is that something evil?
"Okay Papaw."
I sigh. He runs. Where is he gonna go?
I see the guy who led him to Walken.
"Follow me."
Is he evil? "Why'd you leave?"
"I lead you to him."
He helped him?
"Really?"
I smile. He follows him until he disappears then Willow falls into the mud.

Dream ends.
I sit up. Willow wakes up head still in my lap. I sigh. He sits up. I look over. He looks down. I look down.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"This... it was probably awkward."
"It's fine."
"Okay."
I smile. I should go check on Brunnera. I go check on Brunnera. He's curled up. I sigh. He sits up. I sit down next to him. I look back. Lycaris sits up next. Woah those two were packed tightly against each other. How did they fit? Lycaris falls asleep then Brunnera.

Dream.

I see Paradise and Narcissus. What are they doing? Brunnera sighs. I sigh.
"You want me to take Lycaris?"
They nod. Where are they going?
"Okay."
He picks up the sleeping Lycaris. I sigh.
"Goodbye."
Narcissus hugs him tightly. I look down.
"I'll text you."
"If you have another attack just look for a hospital. Please stay safe," he says cutely.
Attack?
"Don't worry, I shouldn't have anymore asthma attacks."
"Just be safe okay?"
I sigh. He nods cutely. I smile.
"Okay we'll go then... protect baby Hollyhock and also Aloe okay?"
"Mhm!"
They were babies? Aloe walks in. He's not a baby but he's young. He's adorable! He hugs Narcissus' leg. Awwwww! Brunnera smiles and hugs Aloe. He hugs back. I smile. He lets go then says, "you guys stay safe too."
They nod. He picks up Lycaris. I sigh. Narcissus hugs him tightly. How cute!
"Bye."
He nods and lets go. I smile. They get out through an open window. Brunnera looks back for a half a second then sighs. Where are they going? He continues running. Lycaris wakes up. He stretches.
"Where am I?"
"Away from home."
"Do we have to go back? Please say we don't, Brunnera."
"No... we're running away."
They're running away?
"Okay big brother."
He gets out of Brunnera's arms. Brunnera pushes his hair out of his eyes.
"I need to get a haircut."
I chuckle. Lycaris hugs Brunnera's waist. I smile.
"Let's go."
They start running. Where are they going? Suddenly I feel things change. Brunnera suddenly collapses gasping for air. What's going on?
"Brunnera?!?"
"Can't breathe," he manages to say.
What happened? Is he having an asthma attack? I think so! Suddenly Walken stuffs an inhaler into his mouth. Yep it was. It changes again. I watch Lycaris go into an asthma attack and pass out. I didnt know they had asthma! Brunnera starts to cry. I look down. Walken sighs and puts the inhaler in Lycaris' mouth. This is good! He wakes up weakly. I smile. Walken sighs and hands him the inhaler. He's gonna need it! He smiles weakly. I sigh.
"Thank you for helping my brother!"
I smile.
"Of course."
How sweet! He helps Lycaris up. I smile. He nuzzles him. How cute!
"Hungy..."
He's hungry?
"Here, I'll take care of you."
That's nice. He leads the duo to the apartment. I sigh. He sighs softly. I look down. Walken smiles and makes some food. I smile. Lycaris smiles obviously hungry. He must've been so hungry!
Brunnera smiles and says, "thank you!"
I chuckle. They eat cutely. They're adorable! Brunnera smiles and hugs Lycaris who hugs back tightly. I smile.
He looks down to his phone which lights up.
Narky: are you okay?
Brunnera: yeah.
Where is Narky?
Narky: Good.
I smile. Brunnera smiles. I sigh.
"Thank you for helping."
I smile again. It's been a few weeks, Brunnera is wearing some pants and a shirt. Where is he?
"Dressy?" Lycaris asks cutely. He nods. I chuckle.
