This is a short drabble I had written years ago. I stumbled upon it and decided to put it in here. Enjoy!
The little child woke up covered in cold sweat and started to cry imidiatelly after she realized what happened. She was only six, yet she slept in her own room. The nighmares she had tortured her innocent mind for the whole week. When she calmed herself she jumped down of the big bed with plush toy in her hands, opened the door on her room and looked at the door on the other side of a corridor. Still with the tears on her cheeks run towards it. She had to jump a bit to reach the handle, but after all she entered the room, climbed up the bed and crawled to the man laying and sleeping in the middle.
" Uncle. " she shook his hand. " Uncle wake up. " she tried once again, then looked at the opened door awaiting the creatures of her dream entering the room. She got scared when the guard before the door moved to stand more comfortably.
" I'm scared, please wake up. " she said btween her sobs and put a little more preasure as she shook his hand. He opened one eye and saw his niece crying near him. He sat immediately and hid her in his embrance.
" A nightmare again? " he asked with his sleepy voice. The girl just nodded holding him closely.
" Come sweetheart, " he put her to his bed and covered her with his duvet laying next to her. " Try to sleep, okay? I'll be here with you." And as he caressed her head she slowly closed her eyes and turned on her side holding her toy. The man went to close the door she left open.
" The girl has nightmares more often. " the guard whispered.
" I know, I must find the way how to stop it. She didn't tell me what she'd seen and I don't want to intrude her."
" That's the best way, my lord."
" I've seen her talking to her toys." he sighed and entered the room. " She's feeling lonely and I can't help it."
" Maybe she should find some friends she could talk to. I have a son, maybe they could be friends," suggested the guard.
"Maybe." he closed his door and went towards the bed. The girl was uncovered as she changed her position to more comfortable and her toy was laying on the floor.
"Oh (Y/N), you are so sweet, when you're asleep. I'm sorry that I can't give you what your heart asks for." he thought before laying on his half of the bed. He gave her a slight kiss on her forehead. After few minutes (y/n) grabbed her uncle's hand and hled closely to her chest as she's never going to let her uncle go away.
