Broken *Harry Potter Crossover*

Nightmares

As I sat next to Dad I let my eyes glance over st him. What I saw made my heart break. Dad looked awful. I almost didn't recognize him because he looked so bad. Dad had been sleeping for a while now. And from Hela told me he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. His body was trying to fight off the curse. Making him weaker and more tired. And it wouldn't be long before dad slipped into a coma. And once he did... Just thinking of that brought tears to my eyes. Snape had been back a few times since Fen had broke his nose. Snape had made sure to stay clear of fen for a while. Just watching him trying to avoid fen brought a teary smile to my face. Jörm's ribs had almost healed so he was up and about agin. Sleip however. He was still on bed rest. His wounds had been so bad that they were still healing. Sleip still didn't have the energy to maintain his human form. So I figured Sleip was asleep right now. Something I should have been doing to. But I hadn't been sleeping well. I was starting to have nightmares of a snake faced me. The man was laughing and I could see the evil in his eyes. And it scared me. So I avoided sleep. Right now it was about 3 in the morning. I was exhausted but I was also to scared to go to sleep. Finally I got up and walked out into the kitchen and started searching for something to eat. As I'm searching for something I hear "why are you not asleep?" I jump hitting my head on the top shelf. I groan in pain and turn around to glare at the person but stop once I see who it was. "Why are you here snape? Come to hurt my brother again?" I snap feeling irritable. Snape narrows his eyes. "I ask again. Why are not asleep?" Snape says through gritted teeth. "It's none of your concern snape." I say grabbing a ice coffee. I turn and go to walk past snape when he grabs my arm. I immediately rip my arm from his grasp and push him backwards away from me. "Don't touch me snape. Ever again." I snark before turning and walking into my room, locking the door. I go over and curl up next to Sleip who opens an eye and looks at me with concern. "I'm ok Sleip." I say resting my head on his shoulder. Sleip sighs and nods closing his eye once more and falling back asleep. And slowly despite not wanting to I follow.

The next morning I wake to Sleip gently nuzzling me. A groan escapes my lips and I gently push him away. I felt exhausted. I had nightmares all night. So I slept. But it didn't feel like it. At all. "Sleip... stop..." I mumble and I hear Sleip laugh. I groan and open my eyes and look over at him. He nuzzles me gently as I wipe the sweat from my face. "I'm ok Sleip. Just bad dreams." I sigh. Sleip frowns with concern. "I'm ok Sleip." I repeat seeing the concern in his eyes. Sleip shakes his head and nuzzles me once more making me smile. I hug him tightly around his neck. "How do you feel Sleip?" I ask still hugging him tightly. Sleip smiles and and slowly starts to get up. "Sleip no. You need to rest!" I protest. Sleip shakes his head with a smile before slowly standing. I sigh and hug Sleip tightly around his neck once. "Does it hurt at all Sleip?" I ask. Sleip shakes his head. "Good. Do you think you can shift?" I ask. Sleip shrugs before slowly shifting to his human form. But I quickly catch him once his knees give out. "Sleip!" I worry. "I'm ok celest. I promise." Sleip whispers leaning on me. "No your not Sleip. You should have waited." I sigh. Sleip chuckles and hugs me tightly. I look up at Sleip and see his black eye was almost gone. "Are you sore at all?" I ask. "A little. It's ok though." He says gently kissing my head. I nod into sleips chest. "How long have you been having these dreams?" Sleip asks gently. I sigh and cling to him tighter. "A few days. But they never stop." I whisper. Sleip sighs and sits down on my bed with me in his arms. "Tell me about them." Sleip says gently. I sigh and a few tears slip from my eyes. "In the dreams there's a snake nosed man. With red eyes. He feels so evil Sleip. And he tortures you. You and fen, Jörm and Hela. Everyone. Even dad. And there's nothing I can do to stop it. And then he kills you all. He kills you first Sleip. It's horrible. Then Jörm. And then he kills fen. He makes fen shift back. And he kills him. His screams Sleip! And I can't stop it. When he kills Hela he-" Tears choke my voice as I remember this part. "And when he kills dad-" I hold back a sob as I remember the horrible dreams. Sleip tightens his grip on me and I see him wince slightly. "Come on. Tell me." Sleip orders gently. I whimper and bury my face back in his chest, my tears soaking his shirt. "He tortures Dad. It's awful Sleip. And when he kills him. There's so much blood... and the look in dad's eyes when the man kills him. Sleip.... I'm already losing him. But whenever I go to sleep I lose him all over again." I cry. Sleip shushes me and rocks me gently as I cry. Sleip whispers softly to me, telling me it's alright. "Shhh celest. There not real. I'm here. Fenrir is here. Jörm is here. Hela is here. We're all here. I promise you. They're just dreams." Sleip comforts. "But they're so real Sleip. It's awful!" I cry. "I know celest. I know." Sleip sighs. "But I promise you. We're not going anywhere." Sleip says gently tilting my head and making me meet his eyes. Sleip gently wipes away a few of my tears. "Ok?" Sleip asks. I whimper and hug him even tighter. Sleip sighs and rests his chin on my head and resumes rocking me. "You need to get some sleep celest..." Sleip whispers making me whimper out "please don't make me Sleip. I can't take it." Sleip sighs and lays back on my bed pulling close to him so I lay my head on his shoulder. "Shhh I'm here celest. Your safe. You need to sleep. You were crying all night. You must be exhausted." Sleip whispers gently stroking my hair. I nod and Sleip sighs. "Don't make me get Hela. Just close your eyes celest. Please." Sleip beg. I whimper and hug Sleip tighter before slowly closing my eyes. Sleip gently runs his fingers through my hair, soothing me. "Just relax celest. It's ok." Sleip whispers softly. "Don't leave Sleip. Please..." I whimper. "Never again." Sleip whispers before slowly sleep slowly takes hold of me. And surprisingly. I don't dream.
