Lost Became Found

Nightmare

After dancing, Aurora got tried, and David noticed. He decided to take her back to the cave. Paul, Marko, and Dwayne wanted to stay, so they said goodbye to Aurora and David.
As David led Aurora to his motorcycle, he started the bike and Aurora sat down behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist. With her head leaning against David's back, they took off into the woods. The wind whistled through their hair as they enjoyed the ride together.
As David parked the motorcycle, Aurora got off but swayed in sleepiness. David quickly caught her before she fell down. He picked her up and carried her into the cave, walking through the main entrance and down the hall into the bedroom.

David gently sat Aurora down in bed, took off her shoes, and pulled the blanket over her. As he went walk out the door, a small hand touched his, stopping him from leaving. David looked back and saw Aurora, who sleepily asked him to stay with her. He took off his boots and got into bed with her. Aurora shifted over to David and laid her head on his chest. David smiled and watched Aurora sleep before falling asleep himself.
Back at the boardwalk, Dwayne leaned against the railing, watching people as they enjoyed their night. He observed the vibrant scene, filled with laughter, music, and the smell of delicious food and people. The colorful lights illuminated the bustling crowd, creating a magical atmosphere.
Paul joined the group of people on the dance floor, grooving to the music and feeling the energy of the crowd. As they danced, someone passed around a joint, and Paul decided to join in. The music, the lights, and the shared experience created a sense of connection and freedom. They danced and laughter together, enjoying the moment and good vibes.
   Marko strolled around until he spotted a short girl with fiery red hair in a ponytail, wearing a black mini dress. Their eyes met, and Marko couldn't help but smirk at her. In response, she bit her lip, sending a playful message. Feeling a rumble in his stomach, Marko approached her and struck up a conversation, asking for her name. She introduced herself as May, and Marko told her is name. They continued their walk along the beach, and May impulsively hopped up and perched herself on a wooden railing, while Marko stood nearby.
   As Marko and May were talking May leaned in and kissed Marko, Marko caught off guard, the kiss didn't feel right because it wasn't Aurora he was kissing. Marko broke the kiss and grabbed May's hand and lead her underneath the boardwalk. May looked around and smirked at Marko, Marko pulled May close and grabbed her ponytail and pulled her head upwards and bit into her neck draining all her blood. Her screams were drowned out by the people and music. Dropping her body on the sandy ground, Marko wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and dragged May's body in a sewer system and walked into the crowd and headed towards Dwayne.
   Aurora and David were peacefully sleeping, wrapped in each other's warmth. Suddenly, Aurora's peaceful slumber was disrupted by restless shifting and soft whimpers. Sensing her distress, David gently woke her up, his eyes filled with concern. Aurora's eyes snapped open, tears welling up, and her lip quivered in fear.
   Without hesitation, David pulled Aurora closer, wrapping a protective arm around her. Her back pressed against his chest, she could feel his steady heartbeat,soothing her racing thoughts. David took her trembling hand in his, his thumb gently caressing her skin, as he reassured her that her nightmares could never harm her.

   "I'll always be here for you, my love," David whispered, his voice filled with unwavering determination. "Whenever it's monsters in the dark or bad people, l'll protect you. You're safe with me."
   Aurora's tears began to subside, replaced with a glimmer of hope and trust. She leaned back into David's embrace, finding solace in his unwavering presence. In that moment, they knew that together, they could conquer any darkness that tried to invade their lives.
   And so, Aurora and David drifted back to sleep, their hearts intertwined, knowing that they would face whatever challenges came their way, hand in hand.
