Nightmares

Mae laid beside Bea on her mattress. She twitched in her sleep having flashbacks of that night in the mines. It was as it the cultists haunted her, tormenting her endlessly without mercy.

'You really ARE the killer of Possum Springs now.'

'You couldn't have just minded your own business now could you?'

'You let that kid Andy,' The scene flashed to Andy laying on the grass, blood trickling from his nose, mouth and head staring at her in fear. 'why couldn't you just let us off?'

"Stop please.." Mae whimpered, waking Bea from her slumber. She glanced at her friend in concern. "Mae?" She asked.

Murderer.

Murderer!

MURDERER!

"I'M SORRY!!" Mae screamed and struggled to get out of Bea's grip. The crocodile had hugged her to try to calm her. "Mae! Mae! Its me!" Bea yelled snapping her out of it. Mae's tear filled eyes looked at Bea and widened "Bea...s-sorry did I wake you?" "It is a bit hard for me to ignore when my friend starts screaming in her sleep. I'm guessing you had a nightmare... was it about...?" Mae nodded crying. "Hey hey its okay I'm here" Bea shushed her and hugged the smaller, shaking feline. Soon Mae began to fall asleep, comforted by her friend and soothed back to sleep.

"I'll always be here Mae."
