LOGAN POV
I couldn't sleep. I keep seeing her scars when I shut my eyes. My bed was like needles. No matter who I lied, it was uncomfortable. I decided to get up and maybe do some work to distract my mind.
A couple minutes into my emails, I heard a horrible scream from her room. I didn't know I could cross the room this fast but when I saw her crawled into a ball and shaking, my heart dropped. I scooped her into my arms and held her close. She was cold and so small against my chest.
"I'm here," I whispered. "I promised, Thea. I'm here," I said.
She held onto me tightly.
Damn it.
"Thea," I whispered.
Then her eyes snapped open. She looked at me and her green eyes stabbed me in the heart. I saw only pain and fear in her eyes. She quickly pushed me away and curled into a ball at the corner of the bed.
"You were screaming," I said.
She took a couple deep breath and shut her eyes to collect herself.
"Sorry," she mumbled.
"What was the nightmares about?" I asked. I was curious but a part of me knew what they were. I just didn't want to believe it.
"Nothing," she simply said.
"Thea,-" I started but knew I can't force her to tell me something she wasn't ready to relive herself.
"Get some sleep," I said. "I'll be here scaring the monsters away," I grinned.
"Then you better get your machete," she smiled weakly and slipped under the blankets.
I watched her sleep and it seems crazy but I can't look away. She looked peaceful in her own darkness. Damn, I'm in big trouble.
