Silver Lining: The Haunted

Ch.2-awake at night

Armen pov

Cold. It was cold. Correction. I was cold. Everything was pitch black as I ran. Why was I running? Silence filled the air. It was so quiet it was deafening. I could hear my own heart beat in my ears that grew louder every moment. My breathing was loud as well. The faster I ran the louder and faster it got. At his point it was heavy and rapid. Why am I running?!

I need to stop. Please make it stop! The area was still dark. I couldn't see anything around me. Where was I? Why am I running? I can't stop running. Every time I try , fear takes over and makes me run faster. Everything was crashing down. My heart beat and breathing were so loud in my ears I couldn't here my self think.

Panic. Panic was all I could do. I finally collapsed after God knows how long. My lungs burnt and my legs screamed at me from running. I crumbled to the ground into a ball.

"Stop! Please make it stop!" My words were drowned out by the loud beating in my ears. It quickly faded to a ear piercing ringing. What is happening to me?

Stop.

Please stop.

Can anyone hear me?

I'm begging you to stop. Make it stop....

I went limp. Cold. I was still cold. I shivered violently. I couldn't don't stop it. My breathing slowed and my heart beat weakened. Was this the end? Is it finally stopping......

"It will never stop....." White eyes stared back at me making ever ounce of me terrified.

"AHHHHHH" I jolted upward, screaming, panicking. I looked around. It was dark. My eyes adjusted rather quickly and I could see that I was in my room.

Oh thank god. It was just a nightmare. Again. The voice I heard before I woke up rang in my ears was still sending shivers down my back.

My door opened and Drake looked at me worried. I sighed and moved over a little as he walked over to me. He sat on the bed next to me. Sweat covered my forehead. I was shaking a lot when an arm wrapped around me.

Drake pulled me close to his chest and we sat there for a moment.

"It's ok Armen. Nightmare again?" His words were calm and quiet.

No words came out of me. I just nodded, feeling the tears that threatened to fall.

"I just want it to stop. Please make it stop. Please. Stop......." I buried my face into his chest and the tears fell.

"It's ok Armen. It's over. Nothing is going to hurt you......" His voice was calming. I just cried.

This is the third time this week Armen had woken up screaming. I just let him cry. I had my arms around him and pulled him closer. His fragile body shock violently when I first got to him but after a minute he calmed down some. Mia and Grayson peaked their heads in through the door and gave me a worried look. I looked up at them returning the worried look. Mia sighed and pulled Grayson out of the room. They knew what was wrong.

I've had my share of nightmares as well. They seem so real. I've been able to keep from screaming when I wake up so I don't wake the others. Armen still continues to cry. I rubbed his back and rocked him back and forth slightly. After a few minuets his cries turned into a few hiccups. He sniffled and looked up at me. His crystal blue eyes held fear and were bloodshot. His face was red and wet. His hair stuck to his forhead from sweating. I got up and he followed me to the bath room. I got a rag and wet it carefully not to get my own hand wet. I wiped the sweat off his face and neck. He took his shirt off and put it in the dirty clothes. We walked back to his room and got a clean shirt. I opened his window slightly to let the cool breeze in and stayed with him till he fell asleep. We didn't have to say anything. We both knew what was wrong. We could just give each other a look and know what we both meant.

Please goddess if your there, please make these nightmares end.

Please.
