My lungs burned as I desperately tried to reach the surface. But my legs were weak and my arms were sore, blood surrounded me as my head throbbed.
Finally, the water rushed into my lungs.
How did I get here?
Why was I in water?
What the fuck was happening?
I couldn't breathe. My mind felt clouded. Memories of me and Peter, my mum, my father, flashed though my mind as I chocked on the water, and finally, darkness consumed me.
My eyes snapped open as I awoke with a gasp, I ran my hand through my hair as sweat clung to my skin. I looked like I mess. I felt like a mess.
I needed to clear my head, I felt trapped in this room.
I stood up and went over to the door, trying to slow my heavy breathing to not wake up Pan.
Just as my hand reached the door and I open it an inch, a voice cut through the silence.
"Maze?" I heard Pan ask.
Shit.
I turned around only to see a very tired Pan sitting up in bed and looking back at me.
"Where are you going?"
"I just need to clear my head..."
"Nightmare?" He asked, concern in his face, taking in my current state. I paused for a moment before replying.
"...yeah."
"Can I come with you..?" He hesitatedly asked. I paused before replying.
"Umm... yeah sure." I mumbled.
"Might want to put on a top first though." I softly smiled at him as he tumbled around in his tired state trying to put on a top.

"So what was your nightmare about?"
"It was strange. I was drowning. It felt a bit like when the mermaid tried to drown me but different. Like something else was controlling me, forcing me deeper into the water, I couldn't breathe. I was scared Peter, terrified even." I said shakily under my breath.
He put an arm around my waist and pulled me in closer sending a small smile down to me.
"Strangest thing is that I've been having the same dream since I woke up with missing memories. What if something happened? If something did happen you'd have already told me, right Peter?" I asked.
