Pirates In Love

Night Terrors and Lullabies

~Ayoka POV~

I woke up biting back a terrified scream. It's been a week since we joined the Sirus and everyday has been fun but I still had to deal with my night terrors.

Every night I got them. I saw my sister and father. My sister on the ground, eyes wide and empty with a trickle of blood flowing from her mouth. My father's eyes glared at me. "This is your fault. All your fault." He said before shooting himself.

Beads of sweat rolled down my face as I breathed heavily. Tears stung my eyes. A soft hand pulled out the first I had stuck in my mouth. I looked up and saw Aya's gentle face. "Shhh it's okay. He will never hurt us again." She whispered soothingly. We were still staying in the infirmary with Christopher who was sound asleep.

Aya pulled me into a hug. "C-can you s-sing me m-mama's lullaby?" I asked. She hesitated glancing at Christopher before smiling and nodded. Rocking me back and forth gently.

Aya's quiet but angelic voice sang. Unaware a certain doctor had heard it all.

~Christopher POV~

Her voice. It's so beautiful. Like an angels. It's been a while since I heard such a beautiful voice. I know the guys have crushes on her but... this time I can't give her up for their happiness. I think I may like her...
