  A few hours later, after everyone was asleep soundly in their beds, Mercury began to lightly whimper and thrash softly. John was dead asleep, so he couldn't hear her crying, but Sherlock did. He was standing very silently outside of John's bedroom door and watched Mercury. His face showed a tad bit of concern but he brushed it off. Thats when a terrible nightmare poured into her mind....

**The Nightmare**

Mercury's breath hitched in her chest, the sound of her footsteps on the ground beat furiously like a drum. Trees swiftly passed by Mercury as she sprinted,sobbing heavily, helplessly searching for shelter. Behind her the dark purple aurora grew closer and closer, it's mist poisoning every living thing in it's path. It reeked of death, something all too familiar to Mercury.. The forest seemed endless, showing no signs of an exit. Sweat poured down her forehead, her hot breath coming out in short, dry heaves. Finally, Mercury's legs as heavy as lead, and she fell to the ground in defeat. Struggling for air, Mercury opened her eyes to the awful sight of the poisonous gas quickly approaching her.
Mercury screamed, it completely engulfed her and her surroundings, and she could no longer breathe. Tears flowed anew as Mercury felt her body convulse. Her tiny chest tightened and you wailed in pain. All of a sudden, she hear yelling in her ear..

**End of Nightmare.**

"Mercury!! Mercury!! Wake up!", a familiar voice shouted, shaking her tiny, sweating body as her purple eyes shot open. John immediately hugged her. He shushed her and rocked her back and forth in his arms, now singing softly to her to calm her down. She was shivering as her hands grasped his white tee shirt. A few minutes later, she slowly fell back to sleep. John kissed her head and laid her back down, covering her up again and putting Carlos in her arms. He felt really bad about what happened to her. If only he could've prevented it, but, sadly, he couldn't. John sighed and laid back down, wrapping his arm around her protectively. Sherlock watched everything. All of her actions...all of John;s actions...everything. That's when Sherlock proceeded to go back to his own bed, and go back to sleep.
