Cerulean Blue

Chapter Nine - Kieran Returns

Garret rubs his eyes a little getting rid of the sleep and the hazy eyesight. " Hi, AIko" he says happy but still slight sad over his dream. That dream made me feel.. horrible I feel like a monster is the thought he gets thinking about his dream. He try's not to show it by sitting up. Garret notices Aiko has a weapon; a large scythe he leans back worried " Uh what is that and where did you get it?" he says curious and a little startled too.

She tilts her head and gives him a smile "i had a nightmare and according to Jariko i forced this weapon to feel sorta protected i think. i guess it gives me the chance to feel a lot more safe, i'm not going to use it" She assured him. " ok" he says relaxed going back into his sitting position. " I had a nightmare too sorta" he says putting his hands on his face and rubbing it, I can still see it so clearly he thinks. " I hope your dream wasn't bad as mine" he says moving his hands from his face.

She gave a half hearted giggle "i witnessed Arashi being killing by cloaked person. It was horrible, they tortured him in front of me and all i wanted to do was kill the person for harming my big brother, which is why the scythe appeared". She shivered from the thought of seeing it again "what was yours like?"

He sits forward more putting his elbows on his knees and crossing his hands looking at the floor. " Yours was alot worse than mine, I had a dream where I was in my werewolf form I came across a hunter camp and they chased me and I ki-killed them all " he says the taste of flesh in his mouth making him feel queasy at the thought. He doesn't think back to the dream fearing that it might make him to sad or sick.

She wrapped her arm around his wrist and leaned into him "Its only a dream isn't, it's not like your some sort of monster that would do that if it wasn't necessary. Besides it's only a dream i don't think it will happen" she says growing a smile once more.

 " Yeah it felt weird like I was there but it looked like the medieval times or something" he says still queasy but now slightly curious. " Your right I wouldn't do that if it wasn't necessary, my dream made me think otherwise I'm glad you can make me feel relaxed in a time like this" he says more happy than before. He gives Aiko a smile and hugs into her. " I guess I'm a big softy" giggling as he says it.

She pulls away from him and lets the scythe drop into shadow "i guess you are. And i expected you to scare nightmares away, i guess my idea of werewolfs where wrong" She joked. "Big, strong, scary werewolfs when really their big softies like you" she spat her tounge out. Garret laughs " I usually do" he says, I rarely get nightmares at all he thinks to himself then he realizes what AIko said. " Hey! I can be big, strong and scary when I want to be" he says laughing a little " Nothing wrong with being a softie from time to time" he says with a grin at the remark, I've never been soft either guess today is filled with weird things he thinks.

She giggles "sure you can be strong. Creepy yes, big and strong no, i mean even stairs had beaten you" She says sarcastically, I would love to stay like this. it's fun speaking to him She thinks, half expecting to hear Jariko's voice in her mind. " I'm a werewolf not a genie I cant tell If I'm going to fall in a hole or not" he says laughing. thinking when he fell down the stairs painful was the only word he could think of. Its great talking to her she makes me feel safe is a thought that goes into his head when it goes blank for a second. " I can be big when I'm a werewolf" he says smartly " I get a lot taller" he says smirking taking a little bit of pride being a werewolf.

She laughs "I guess i wouldn't know since i'm no werewolf", She grabs the bags and looks at Garret. "You're a really sweet guy Garret. But i can't. I'm sorry" she says before running to the door, This is killing me, i wish i didn't have to do it. I just have to get home really fast and forget this thing ever happened She thinks.

"I hope you get better Kieran. I must admit it was pretty silly of you to go after them like that, you should have let them come to you first" Aiko said, turning her head to face him before stepping out of the room.
