Another Sokeefe story

Nightmares

We all fell asleep in our fort we built a little early telling each other stories. I dreamed of when the Never-seen took Keefe. The Never-seen cast some kind of spell on Keefe and now Keefe was taking all his friends to the Never-seen, he was basically leading them to death. I watched this, trapped in a chair as i tried to scream to my friends to run, but my voice wouldn't work. i was beaten up by the Never-seen so i couldn't move. i just stared helplessly at my friends getting beaten. Keefe suddenly was out of a haze and tried to fight, but as soon as he came out of a haze he got a few seconds to breath then fell down dead. i wanted to scream but my voice wouldn't let me. suddenly they payed attention to me and came at me with a knife at my throat. "tell us what we want and this knife might just not slip"

I woke up in cold sweat, I almost screamed, but when I saw my friends sleeping I shut up for their sake. It was the middle of the night and I tried to fall back asleep but I just had the same nightmare. I decided I couldn't sleep and my vision blurred. I wiped away a tear as it slid down my soft cheek. I just sat there crying and waiting until it was light enough to go eat breakfast. I looked at all my my friends peacefully sleeping and I noticed one sleeping bag was empty, it was Keefe's! could my nightmare have just started in real life? then I started crying again. suddenly I smelled something very delicious. My nose got the best of me as I walked down the stairs and found Keefe with some mellow melt. 

"Hey Foster couldn't sleep?"

"Uh huh" I nodded  "let me guess you are the same way?"

"Yeah"

"I woke from one of the most scary nightmares and I just couldn't sleep after that. so when I smelled mellow melt, I couldn't help my self" Keefe must have seen the tears falling out of my eyes because he moved towards me and put an arm around my shoulders and squeezed me tight. he then whispered in my ear "Foster you are so strong and talented and smart and amazing and- anyway it was just a dream and in reality whatever your nightmare was, isn't gonna happen because you got Fitz and me here to back you up! you have nothing to be afraid of." Keefe comforting me was kinda like how Alden was comforting me before. 

"Hey Keefe" I sniffed

"Yeah?"

"Did you really mean all those things you said about me?" Keefe blushed and nodded. Then I started smiling. I realized that Keefe was still holding on to me but I didn't try to push him away, in fact I let it stay there as we finished the mellow melt. We help hands as we both went upstairs to sleep.

"Keefe" I whispered

"Yeah Foster?"

"Can I lay with you?"

"Sure" even before he answered I got up and squeezed myself next to him and fell asleep in his arms.
