STARSHINE.
FIRST-PERSON POV.
It was nighttime before we knew it. Everyone got inside quickly, scared of the darkness for one reason or another. Rocky lit a stick on fire inside of the hut to give us light while we were awake.
Too quickly, everyone else had fallen asleep and the fire had gone out. I blinked, and realized I couldn't go to sleep.
For one thing, it was way too hot. For the second thing, I couldn't get that horrifying wolf out of my head.
I growled and tried moving. Around the whole hut. Nothing helped or worked at all.
I glanced at Cyan and remembered that her scales cooled down the area around her. I bit my tongue, tried moving again, then let out a frustrated sigh and walked over to Cyan's sleeping form.
I gently reached out and shook her. She groaned and stirred. "What?" She said grumpily, glaring at me.
"Well, Uh, I'm practically melting in here... and you're really cold... I was wondering if I could sleep near you?" It was an odd request that I didn't exactly like the sound of but otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep.
I couldn't tell what emotion crossed her face in the darkness but finally she said "Alright, if you shut up tomorrow."
I nodded and laid down near her, the cold much better from the heat I had just felt. I heard a shifting and I was sure she had moved a centimeter closer to me. It helped. I rapidly fell asleep.
Maybe I dreamed it, but I thought I heard growling outside.
