Now You See Me, Now You Don't(The Academy-Ghost Bird)

Chapter 13 - The Nightmare

I read that this monster is called a locust wretch from Gears of War. I hate locust and I know this would give me nightmares, so this is what I picture as Sangs monster.

CHAPTER 13


Sang pov


I dream that I'm being chased by a monster. It's so scary and moves oddly. My monster runs on two legs, but has strange skin, huge claws, and some kind of armor protecting it. This creature needs no protection from me, but I know it will kill me, if it catches me. I find myself running through an unknown city and there's no one around to help me. Things start to look familiar as I see my apartment complex in the distance. I run across the parking lot, up the stairs, and put my key in the lock. Just as I'm about to unlock my door, the monster grabs me from behind and gobbles me up.

My eyes pop open, as I start to scream. At first, I didn't recognize where the noise is coming from. I stop screaming and lay there, trembling while tears pour down my face.

Someone's banging on my door and I hear Silas calling my name. Jumping out of bed, I run to the door. I unlock it, pull the chain, and throw the door open.

Silas stands there for a minute, flicks on the lights, and scoops me up into his arms.

He kicks the door shut with his foot and sits down on my bed, with me on his lap. "Sang, are you all right?" he gently asks. I know I'm shaking and I can't seem to stop crying.

I curl my body into his warm, bare chest and sob. Silas gently rubs my back and is talking to me in another language, which I assume is Greek.

When I calm down and stop crying, he gently pushes my hair back from my face and asks "Aggele, why did you scream? Are you all right?" I glance over at the clock and see that it's 4:00 am.

"Oh Silas, I'm so sorry that I woke you up again." I say guiltily. "I had a bad nightmare and as you heard, I woke up screaming. I'm all right now, so you can head back to sleep."

"Sang sweetie, you're shaking like a leaf and still have tears in your eyes. I can't leave you all alone, when you're this upset." he says as he pulls me closer to his body. His warmth helps ground me in reality.

"Will you please tell me about your nightmare?" he coos to me. I look up into his big soulful eyes, throw my arms around his neck and hug him tight.

What a sweetheart Silas is. He has shown me more care and warmth, than I've ever received from my own family.  How sad's that? I ponder.

Slowly, I start to whisper my nightmare into his ear. "I was being chased by a monster through a strange city and there was no one around. I was almost to my apartment and the monster grabbed me from behind and ate me" I whimper as the tears start to flow again.

"Oh aggele, I'll keep you safe. Remember I'm right next door, if you ever need me." He says in his deep, soothing voice.

"Silas, will you please stay with me tonight? I hate to ask, but I've never been on my own before and I'm afraid" I look at him and plead with my eyes. He nods his head yes and gently puts me on the bed.

Lying down, I scoot over to make room for his large body next to me. I finally notice that he's only wearing a pair of navy blue boxers. His boxers don't leave much to the imagination, so I quickly look away. Blushing, I roll over onto my side and face the wall.

Rolling back over a little, I see him lock my deadbolt and attach the chain lock. He turns off the light and slowly moves over to the bed.

The bed dips and I feel him gently lay down beside my body. The heat his body gives off is amazing and makes me want to press myself closer.

Oh God, he's so warm and sweet and wonderful, handsome, and God, does he smell good. I feel my heart melt, just a little for him. What did I ever do to deserve such a wonderful person like him in my life?

Silas steals my pillow and puts his arm under my head. He cuddles up close to me and wraps a powerful arm around my waist. I giggle softly, but have never felt so safe and cared for, as I do laying there in his arms.

Sinking back into his warmth, comfort, and wonderful ocean scent, I find myself drifting off to sleep.



Silas pov


Ever since I left her, she's all I could think about. North and I went to the cookout and he interrogated me about her. The jackass better realize that I saw her first, so she's mine.

We told the guys about her and everyone's anxious to meet her. I need to remember to ask her if she's busy tomorrow, I mean today. Ugh. I'll ask her later.

I came home, fell asleep and had the best dream about her. She's a bit different in my dream and has way less clothes on. Mmmmm, I can even remember how she tastes, so sweet like fresh baklava!

I'm sound asleep when a scream wakes me out of my dream. My heart about bursts out of my chest, but as soon as I hear the scream, I know exactly whose scream it is. Luckily, I remember to throw on some boxers before I race over.

I pound on her door and call out "Sang, are you all right?" I get more nervous when I don't hear anything and am about to break down the door. Suddenly, I hear the door being unlocked, the chain taken off, and the door thrown open.

There stands aggele, in the cutest and skimpiest tank top and short shorts, I have ever has the pleasure to see. I'm in shock with how sexy her body is and then I look at her face.

Her hair's sleep rumpled, her lips are quivering, and tears are pouring out of her beautiful eyes. I scoop her up and hug her to my body as I walk in the door.

Quickly, I kick the door shut, walk over to the bed and sit with her gently cradled in my lap. She's still crying and I tell her in Greek that she's the most beautiful girl that I have ever met. And that if she stays with me, I will take care of her forever and always keep her safe.

Aggele, finally calms down and I ask her why she screamed. She said something about the time and that she was okay, but my ears perk up when she mentions her nightmare.

I coo to her "Will you please tell me about your nightmare?" And she throws her arms around me and hugs me for all she's worth. I melt a little over that hug and hug her right back.

Sang tells me about her monster dream and starts crying again. I promise that I will keep her safe and that I'm right next door if she needs me.

Then she asks me to stay the night and says that she has never been on her own and is afraid. There's no way I could tell her no, even if I wanted to. Zeus help me, I can't wait to hold her in my arms.

So I put her down on the bed and she scoots over to make room for me. Then I walk over to lock the door and just before I turn off the lights, I notice her bright red blush.

Hahahaha, I think someone just realized that I'm only dressed in boxers and I hope she likes what she sees. I briefly think about going to get a t-shirt and shorts, but I'm afraid that if I leave she will not let me back in. So we'll both have to deal with my lack of clothes.

I walk back over to the bed and it dips as I lay down. I steal her pillow and put my arm under her head. Then I cuddle closer and wrap my arm around her waist. She feels like heaven in my arms and I will keep her safe, always if she'll let me.

Her body feels so good next to mine and I press my face to her neck and inhale her sweet scent. The bed isn't very comfortable, and neither am I, but she quickly falls asleep.

Lying there next to Sang, I know it's going to be either the best night for me or the worst. She's so small and cuddly. But I'm only human and she could tempt could tempt a saint. I just hope the God of Love doesn't try and make an appearance.

North's going to be pea green with envy, when he finds out where I slept tonight or maybe this should be me and Sangs' little secret.
