Rivers

I dragged Blu out of bed once again this morning to introduce herself to the full gang of the White Knights. She slumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready. I took that as my cue to leave and I made my way downstairs to see the guys making breakfast. I slumped onto a tall chair and laid my head down on the island.

I felt several eyes on me and just as I was about to tell them to fuck off Matt broke the silence, "Another rough night?" He asked not surprised.

"Her nightmares are either settling down or getting worse. She keeps thrashing around and whining quietly, she doesn't scream like she did the other night," I pointed out. She's not getting that much sleep and it's killing the both of us. She has to meet with the rest of the gang today and I'm worried they might not take her seriously with how tired she is.

"We need to get to the bottom of these dreams and fast, the Black Dragons are stopping by in about an hour, let's just hope that Blu is ready by then and we can go get her a more filling breakfast than just some sausages," Boss suggested, referring to Zach eating only sausages for breakfast.

"Yeah, can't have her half asleep when she's leading the gangs to war, " Zach said in between chews. That's what I'm worried about too, what if she's too tired to do anything that there is no more 'Baby Blu' and there is only
.... Blu. We need her more than ever now, and we need to find a way quick.

After almost an hour we heard a knock on our door indicating that the Dragons were already here. They had to come with us to announce the war so our gang knew about our alliance with them, they needed to know first-hand that they can be trusted.

"Rowling," Boss greeted as he let the dragons into the foyer.

"Richards," Yousif smirked as he shook hands with Boss, "Where is Baby Blu?"

"She should be coming down any minute now," I answered for him.

As if on cue Blu trudged down the stairs in dark blue jeans and a white cropped tank top that stopped just above her belly button with black converse. She had her phone in her hand as she used the other to hold onto the banister as she made her way down to the foyer.

Her eyes shot up in confusion as she spotted the dragons at the bottom of the stairs but I gave her a silent nod telling her that we'd explain later. She groaned in response and buried her head in my chest, letting out a deep sigh as she made contact with me.

"You guys head out to the limo, Rivers come with me," Boss ordered. Blu released her self and followed the men out the door as Boss approached me, "Has she said anything in her sleep at all?" He asked hopefully.

"No Boss, it's always whines or whimpers. No form of words leave her mouth and it almost doesn't make sense, anybody would've yelled out if they were in that much pain, " I pointed out.

"Well Blu isn't just anybody Rivers, you know she has her walls built up to hide her past, we can't force it out of her, " he stated. I nodded my head and followed him out to the limo.

Once I was inside I saw Blu's head on Zach's lap as he stroked his fingers through her hair. She had her eyebrows knotted as if she was really having a hard time to sleep. I sat next to Zach and watched as she tried to make herself comfortable on his lap.

They all looked at Blu in confusion before Kyle spoke up, "What's wrong with her?" He asked concerned. I understood where he was coming from, yesterday she had taken down dozens of men and then the next day she looks like a dying cat. They were confused and if we were going to be allies they needed to know the truth, "She hasn't been getting that much sleep lately," I deadpanned. I said they needed to know the truth, not that I needed to be nice.
