Team SAFF: A RWBY Story

The Dust Heist

The moon cast an eerie glow through the window, bathing the room in ethereal light as Bleu Falls lay in the grip of a haunting nightmare. Beads of sweat glistened on her forehead as she thrashed in her sleep.

Bleu: Ivan... no, please.

Beside her, Evelynn stirred, her keen senses detecting the distress that had seized Bleu. As she slowly woke, she became aware of Bleu's restless state. Gently, she reached out, placing a hand on Bleu's shoulder.

Evelynn: Bleu, wake up, it's just a dream.

But Bleu, trapped in the clutches of the night terror, remained lost in the haunting vision.

Bleu: Ivan... please, don't leave me.

Bleu pleaded, her voice choked with grief even in her sleep. Evelynn, feeling the urgency of the moment, leaned closer, gently shaking Bleu.

Evelynn: Bleu, it's not real. You're safe. Wake up.

Due to the commotion, Ahri and Akali were woken up by Bleu's cries and jumped out of bed.

Akali: Evelynn, what's wrong with Bleu?

Evelynn: She's having a nightmare. Go find her mother, quickly.

Akali: What?

Evelynn: Please, Akali, go find Raine and bring her here!

Akali: Ok. Ahri, stay here in case anything changes.

Ahri: Ok.

Akali leaves the room as Bleu's eyes fluttered in her restless slumber, the nightmare refusing to release its grip. Evelynn continued to shake her gently, offering comfort and reassurance.

Finally, with a gasp, Bleu's eyes snapped open. She was met with the dimly lit room of their shared quarters, Ahri and Evelynn's concerned gaze hovering above her. The remnants of the nightmare clung to her, and she shivered, breathing heavily.

Bleu: Evelynn?

Ahri: Bleu.

Bleu's voice wavered, the dream's echo lingering in her mind. Evelynn, with a tender touch, cupped Bleu's face.

Evelynn: It was just a dream, love. You're safe now.

As the nightmare's tendrils slowly released their hold, Bleu found solace in Evelynn's comforting presence.

Bleu: Eve, what's happening to me?

Evelynn: I don't know, Bleu. But we'll figure it out, I promise.

Moments later, Akali returns with Raine following behind her.

Akali: Evelynn, how's Bleu?

Akali looked to see Evelynn and Ahri sitting by Bleu's sides while gently rubbing her back.

Akali: (walks over to Bleu) By the Brothers, Bleu, are you ok?

Bleu: I'm not sure.

Raine: Bleu?

Bleu looks at Raine and sees the concern in her eyes.

Evelynn: She was having a nightmare. I...didn't know if she was going to wake up.

Raine moves closer to Bleu, dropping to her knees, and reaches for Bleu's hand. She grasps her daughter's hand in hers and looks into Bleu's fearful eyes. Raine knows this look because she's seen it before.

Raine: Bleu, what did you see?

Bleu looked at her mother as she pulled her hands away.

Bleu: Nothing. Just a bad dream.
