Cyra ran through the halls of the building wearing her IR uniform. Suddenly an explosion rang out and caused her to fall forward. She looked up to see Xena on the ground in front of her. She quickly pulled herself up running over to her big sister. She started shaking her trying to wake her up. It was no use, she was unresponsive. She was grabbed from behind and dragged away from the girl. Naturally she resisted. She called out her name in hopes of getting back to her. She was thrown onto someone's shoulder causing her to start screaming. The girl landed with a dull thud on her bedroom floor, tangled in her blanket. She struggled to get out of her fluffy trap, shooting up straight panting heavily. She was still in her green t-shirt, purple shorts and white socks. The rain taped rhythmically on the window pane, the wind blowing the droplets diagonally, falling from the gray sky where thunder boomed, and lightning cracked the sky. Cyra caught a glimpse of the wall clock, 2:34 am. She looked at her surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly remembered something. She put her blankets back on her bed fixing them neatly, then as quietly as she could, opened her door, padded down the hallway in socked feet, then stopped at a door. She grabbed the handle and turned it open trying to be quiet. She poked her head into the room eyes searching for her sister. Seeing her twin brother Alan, she looked at her bed with a reviled sigh, she was asleep in bed. Phew just a dream she thought. She tried to close the door without a sound, failure. The door squeaked loudly, waking the twins. Alan switched on the bedside lamp, lighting up the room, and Cyra. She hid behind the door trying to stay out of the light. "Cyra, why are you awake?" Alan asked spotting her. Yeah, shouldn't you be in bed?" Xena echoed. She then got a good look at her. Cyra's reddish hair was sticking up every witch way, she had circles under her eyes, her stuffed rabbit was gripped tightly in her arms and she had come to check on them. Oh Xena thought, realizing what was going on. She waved her younger sister in. Cyra pulled the door shut behind her, walking back into the hallway. She made a beeline for her room, shutting the door behind her. She crawled into bed falling back into a restless sleep. The twins quietly cracked the door and walked into holding their own blankets, and pillows. They put the blankets on the floor and then the pillows. Alan picked up the sleeping girl so Xena could get her pillow. She laid it on the floor and Alan put the girl down, they covered her up, laying down themselves after. Cyra's eyes flew open, seeing her siblings were there she felt embarrassed. They both hugged her tight. "It's okay to be scared sometimes Cy." Xena told her, "You're human." Alan remarked. She soon fell asleep in their arms. Not a single night terror was in her mind again that night.
Bonus!
"Should we wake them?" Gordon asked his brother Scott. The two had been tasked with getting the twins and Cyra up. They had found them in the youngest's room still asleep. "No let them sleep." He said taking a photo. He pushed Gordon out and closed the door halfway.
