Stop Running (Zak Bagans Fanfic)

Chapter 4

I heard someone come in the room. I quickly opened my eyes and sat up. It was Zak. He came in the room and looked back at me.

"Hey, you can stay, if you want. Just don't make too much noise. I need to get some sleep." He told me. I got off of the bed as he came closer. I saw that Leonard was sitting on the floor. Zak looked at me from across the large bed, then back at the bed.

"Please don't run out. I usually will sleep on Nick's floor. Please just stay in here." He told me. I could understand why he didn't want to be alone. I wouldn't want to be wither with all the things that were following him.

"I will stay in here, for you." I told him. He then looked at the bed then at me. 

"I am going to sleep. You can join me, if you want." He said as he got under the covers. He then laid on his side facing away from me. I looked around the room and it felt sort of crowded. I then saw that Leonard was standing next to me. 

"They aren't going to bother you. You are wearing that necklace. Besides, he looks like he had a rough night." He told me. I sighed and looked back at Zak. He was already asleep. I then got in the bed, next to him. 

I laid there and thought about what I was going to do with all of the attatchments. I knew that there were a couple that I needed to get rid of first. I watched them walk around the room and torment each other. It was funny, once in a while. But I knew that they had a hold over Zak.

I then heard Zak start moaning. He had been asleep for almost two hours now. I saw that his fists were clenched and there was something that was really wrong with him. I looked above his head and there was one of the attatchments. It didn't realize that I was looking right at it. The only way that I could stop it, would be to wake him up.

"Zak, Zak, wake up. Come on. It's just a dream." I said as I shook him. My actions seemed to have no effect on him. I then shook him a little harder and there was still no result. I then remembered that he had told me about sleeping on the floor of Nick's room. 

"Damn it." I said as I rolled out of the bed. I grabbed the key and I ran down the hall. I didn't bother putting shoes on. When I got to Nick's room, I knew that he would be asleep. I started knocking on the door anyway.

"Please be a light sleeper." I muttered as I knocked on his door. He then opened it.

"What is it?" Nick whined to me. He was sleeping and he wasn't really happy that I was there.

"Zak is having a nightmare and I havve no idea how to wake him up." I told him. He sighed and seemed to lighten his mood a little.

"Let's go then." He motioned to me. I smiled at him and the two of us walked down the hall. I opened the door and I saw that there were more around him. Zak was really trying to fight. Nick sighed and walked over to this friend.

"Zak, wake up." Nick said loudly. Zak moaned a little, but he still didn't wake. Nick then looked at the bathroom. He walked in there and I heard the sink run. I wasn't too sure what he was doing. When he came back in the room, he had a cup with him. Nick then held it over his face and poured a little water on Zak.

"No!" Zak yelled as he bolted up. Nick took a step away from him.

"Dude, that was a really bad one." Nick said as he stood there. Zak was gasping as he looked around the room. He looked at me and I saw that he had a pained look on his face.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked me.

"What?" I replied. Why would he think that?

"Did I hurt you, Lea?" Zak asked clearer. He was really concerned about this.
