Ember nodded and closed her eyes, falling fast asleep. her nightmare started the same but then she felt like she was waking up. she felt someone moving the hairs out of her face and assumed it was Gray, but his hands felt wet and something felt wrong. She opened her eyes to see what was going on and found that it wasn't Gray. It was Demetrius and his hands were covered in blood. He smiled and said, "there is nowhere you can go that I won't find you. I can see where you are now." Something made her look past him and she saw Gray sitting in the chair next to her bed, blood running down the front of his shirt and his throat had been torn out. as she stared at Gray stuck in pure shock Demetrius said, "I've figured out why he protects you. I know why he's so willing to die to keep you out of danger. Do you know why?"
Kayla had come back after two hours. They were talking when Gray and Kayla saw Ember was having a nightmare and began trying to wake her up. Ember felt relieved to know it was just a dream but Demetrius's word's stuck with her. The nightmare stuck with her. It all made her wonder why Gray would risk so much for her. She knew they were friends but if he died because of her.
Gray and Kayla pulled her out of her thoughts as they asked, if she was alright. Ember nodded they were still worried as Kayla asked, if it was the same nightmare she had been having. Ember shook her head and said, "worse much worse." She pulled herself into a ball and stared at the wall, afraid to go back to sleep after that thanking to herself 'Why can't I have a dream every now and again?' Gray and Kayla were worried but neither of them knew how to help.
