From my Flufftober 2023 collection. :)

Granger woke up in the middle of the night to see Hetty shivering.

'Hey, wake up.' He gently said.

'Huh? Oh. Sigh. It was just another bad dream.' Hetty sleepily replied.

'Want to talk about it?'

'No. I'd rather just go back to sleep.'

Later.

It was raining most of the day. Tired of feeling cooped up, Hetty went out to sit on the porch swing, and Granger later followed.

'I dreamed I was back in that awful cage, it was pouring rain outside, and I felt like I was dying from either a fever or broken body parts. That's why I was shaking.' She said, unhappily.

Putting his arm around her. 'I'm sorry to hear.' He replied.

'I wish rainy days wouldn't still bother me like this. It's been how long since that incident, and I'm still having nightmares!'

'Hey hey, it's okay. I've got you. Sometimes, bad dreams happen even when we think they're gone.'

Burying her head into his side. 'Why can't I just feel normal again?! Why can't they just stay away for good? They haunted me long enough!' Hetty moaned.

'I wish I knew. I wish I knew.' Granger unhappily mumbled. He loved her so much, but it pained him to see her still struggle with bad dreams.

They sat there in silence, watching the raindrops fall, wishing to be free from bad memories.
