A Barian Love Story

Chapter 8

Iris's POV:

After the tournament, everyone went to bed. I was so tired. I yawned.

"You know, we can skip star gazing tonight," Alit said.

"No...I want to...go."

He laughed.

"You are a horrible liar."

"Hey!"

I pushed him playfully. We got to our rooms.

"Good night, Alit," I said.

"Good night, Iris."

I smiled, and opened my door.

~Alit's POV~

I woke up from screaming. I jumped out of bed, and ran out to the hall way. The screaming was coming from Iris's room. I opened the door. Iris was asleep, screaming, and kicking. I ran to her bed.

"Iris, wake up," I said.

She opened her eyes. For the first time ever, her eyes were filled with fear.

"Alit..."

Tears were in her eyes.

"It's ok. It was only a dream," I whispered.

I leaned forward, and hugged her. She hugged me back. We stayed like for awhile. Neither of us, moved.

"Alit?"

"Yes, Iris?"

"Can you stay in here with me? In case I have another nightmare?"

I smiled.

"Yes."

What was her nightmare? Was it bad? Well it must've been, because Iris has been edgy for the next few days. What was that dream?
