Lunette's P.O.V

I could hear Sola's breathing deepen as she fell asleep. I closed my eyes, listening to her steady breathing before following suit and drifting off to sleep. Sadly, I have a tendency of being unable to stay asleep for long. I woke up after being asleep for a few hours. Turning to the side so I could see the window, I noticed it was still dark out. I let out sigh, turning onto my back and stared up at the ceiling. After a few moments when I realized I would not be able to fall back asleep, I decided to get up and do something. I guess I could go and run laps around the castle, it was better than just sitting here in silence. I slowly stretched out before slowly making my way down to the floor. I didn't worry about being quiet, knowing that Sola was usually quite the heavy sleeper. When I finally made it to the bottom, I looked over at Sola for a moment, a small smile forming on my lips. She was laying on her side and had her arms and legs wrapped around her pillow, snuggling her face into it. The blankets she had probably been snuggling in earlier were know strewn across the bed. Partially dangling over the side.

"What a crazy child" I murmured to myself as I turned and went over to my dresser so that I could change into a pair of shorts and a tank top. As I was grabbing my clothes, I heard a small thump that sounded like it came from where Sola was sleeping. I didn't think much of it as I knew that Sola constantly changed positions while sleeping and also had the habit of sleepwalking once in awhile. I just shook my head and continued getting dressed. I was just finishing putting my shoes on when I heard Sola let out a small scream and began thrashing in bed. I snapped my head toward her, startled by her sudden outburst. While moving around in her sleep was normal, I have never witness something like this before. I ran towards her as she continued flailing around in bed, noticing the pained expression on her face. I realized she must be having a nightmare and decided I should probably wake her up before she screamed again. I leaned over her and began shaking her gently, trying to wake her up. But as soon as my hands touched her, Sola's eyes flew up and she flew up, her head slamming into mine. I shot backwards grabbing my head, seeing spots. As soon as my head cleared up, I looked up a Sola only to see her sitting there in her bed, panting. She had tears forming in eyes and was looking at me, slowly blinking as she stared at me in confusion. I slowly approach her and gently sat at the end of her bed.

"Soul, are you okay? You were having a nightmare and began screaming and thrashing around. I decided to wake you up, I'm sorry I startled you like that." I told her. I heard her breathing even out as she nodded, her hand reaching up to wipe the tears away from her eyes.
