My Keeper

12 You Have An Ex?

P.O.V William

I was in a dark confined room with one light bulb that flashes every few seconds as it swung on its string. I don't know what force was making it swing continuously but it was, so I sat here in a cold metal chair as a dim light swung itself on its string. I know what is about to happen, and I know exactly where I am the nightmare that never stops. Here is her voice, "William.... Will... Will... Help me... Oh god I'm so scared... William Please..." As soon as she speaks I know she is in danger and my heart speeds up, I almost run to the door. And all I know is that she's in danger. I have to find her because she needs me. Her voice continues to call for me as I walk down this narrow hallway that leads to one door; I knew exactly what I would find behind the door. Slowly I open the door and find myself in another dark room, the floor is thick and wet in what I know is blood. In the center of the room stands a man no taller than me, he doesn't frighten me. "William please." She cries. The man turns around holding her in his arms, her face is stained with tears and her clothes soaked with blood.

"Let her go." I growled at the man; I couldn't see his face. It's always hidden from my view. She shrieks as the man digs what I think is a dagger into her side. He's going to pay for that. Another snarl leaves my mouth that I can't control, she's hurt and I need to help her. The man smiles and throws her to the ground and I charge at him throwing my full body's weight at him. I know it's not smart but it's too late to stop now. The man vanishes right before I can touch him and as I crash to the ground Ally screams. Looking up I find him looming over me with the dagger he just dug out of Allyson. And then something new happens and I hear Ally's real voice, "William wake up it's not real, listen to me I'm real."

P.O.V Allyson.

I woke up the next morning to Will thrashing his head back and forth and shouting in his sleep "No don't touch her." Also he muttered my name a few times; it was the nightmares taking their toll on him. I shook him "William wake up it's not real, listen to me I'm real." I continued to shake him.

"Ally stop I'm awake." He laughed and looked up at me, "I heard you, in the dream I mean."

I smiled "Good it would have taken years to wake you up."

He immediately gets up and walks to his bag that he never unpacked. "I don't know what you mean I sleep- "

I cut him off, "You sleep like a rock." He throws a smile my way and continues to look for something to wear. As soon as I stand up my arms and legs begin to ache with pain from the training with William the day before. I wince and sit back down.

"Are you okay Ally?" William pulled on a shirt as he spoke.

I nodded too eagerly; not wanting him to cancel my training so I lied. Slowly I stood up and got my clothes together for a cool shower, hoping that was all I needed for my muscles to feel better before one. William wasn't in our room when I finished my shower, he must be really hungry. Not thinking much of it I continued my routine then went down for breakfast. Everyone was at the table talking all except Will; I wonder what he could possibly be bothering him so much... Adam tried to make small talk but ever since the other night nothing has been the same. Now don't get me wrong I don't mind that he's blind. I guess I just see him differently now that he can't see me. Okay that's wrong. I don't know how to put it into words without seeming horrible for even just thinking about it.

"Allyson? Are you listening?" it was Jen who spoke, I shook my head. She laughed and asked me again, "Do you mind if I train you today?"

There was a loud clash as the fork I was holding crashed onto my plate I ignored it and brought my glare to William, "And why can't Will train me?" he didn't meet my gaze in fact he's the only one who did not look up when my plate rejoined with my fork. Jen spoke quickly, "It's not that he can't Ally. I just wanted to show you some moves. You know we were all trained together."
