The dorm was quiet, with only the soft hum of the heater breaking the silence. Enid was snuggled under her blanket, clutching her favorite plushie close to her chest. Her eyelids fluttered as she drifted deeper into sleep, but the tranquility was short-lived.

In her dreams, Enid found herself back in the dark warehouse, Tyler's menacing figure looming over her. His cold, cruel eyes pierced through her, making her feel small and helpless. The fear from earlier resurfaced, amplifying her anxiety and causing her to whimper softly in her sleep.

Suddenly, she woke up with a start, her heart pounding in her chest. Her room was dark and unfamiliar, the shadows playing tricks on her mind. Enid's breath came in quick, shallow gasps, and she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes.

"M-Mama!" she cried out, her voice trembling with fear. "Mama! Hewp!"

Within moments, Wednesday was at her side, her face etched with concern. "Enid, what's wrong?" she asked softly, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Enid's tears flowed freely as she clung to Wednesday, her little body shaking with sobs. "I had a bad dweam, Mama! Tywer... he was... he was scawing me!" she babbled, her words almost incoherent through her tears.

Wednesday's heart ached at the sight of her little wolf cub in distress. She gently rocked Enid, her voice soothing and calm. "Shh, it's okay, little cub. Mama's here. Tyler can't hurt you anymore. You're safe now."

Yoko and Davina, hearing the commotion, quickly joined them. Yoko knelt beside the bed, her eyes filled with concern. "What happened?" she asked gently, reaching out to stroke Enid's hair.

"Eni had a nightmare," Wednesday explained, still holding Enid close. "She's scared."

Davina sat on the other side of the bed, offering a comforting smile. "Oh, sweetie, it's alright. We're all here to keep you safe."

Enid looked up at her caregivers, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "I scawed, Ma. Can you sing to me?" she asked, her voice small and vulnerable.

"Of course, sweetie," Davina replied softly. She began to hum a gentle lullaby, her voice filling the room with warmth and comfort.

Yoko retrieved Enid's pacifier and gently placed it in her mouth. "Here, sweetheart. This will help you feel better," she said, her tone tender.

Enid suckled on her pacifier, her sobs gradually subsiding as she listened to the soothing lullaby. The combined presence of her caregivers made her feel safe, the fear from her nightmare slowly dissipating.

Wednesday continued to hold Enid, her voice calm and reassuring. "You're very brave, little cub. And we'll always be here to protect you."

Yoko and Davina exchanged a look of understanding, knowing that Enid needed all the love and support they could offer. "You're not alone, Eni. We're a family, and we take care of each other," Yoko said softly.

As the lullaby continued, Enid's eyelids grew heavy, her body relaxing in Wednesday's arms. She felt the warmth and security of her caregivers surrounding her, their love acting as a shield against the remnants of her nightmare.

Davina gently tucked the blanket around Enid, ensuring she was snug and comfortable. "There you go, sweetie. Just relax and know that we're all here for you."

Enid's eyes slowly closed, her breathing evening out as she drifted back to sleep. This time, her dreams were filled with the comforting presence of her caregivers, their love and protection banishing the shadows of her fears.

Wednesday, Yoko, and Davina stayed by her side, watching over her as she slept. They knew that Enid's journey wasn't always easy, but together, they would face any challenge and provide the care and comfort she needed.
