More Nightmares

Kayla's POV:

'I was running, running so fast.....so far. Where I as going I didn't know. I felt a hand grab my shoulde-'

I gasped as I shot up in bed out of breath. I started to silently cry because of my nightmare. I looked to my side. Nathan was still sleeping. I shook his shoulder slightly,

"Nathan, Nathan please wake up." I begged as I cried. Nathan stirred for a second before he opened his emerald eyes.

Nathan's POV:

"Nathan, Nathan please wake up." I heard a voice say as I was being moved. I opened my eyes to see Kayla sat up shaking me with tears in her beautiful yet sad chocolate brown eyes. I instantly sat up and placed a gentle hand on her cheek,

"Kayla baby girl what's wrong?" I asked. Kayla sniffled,

"I h-had a nightmare about Trevor. He took me away from you and raped me while he made you watch. He killed you and the babies right in front of me then raped me 4 more times. He was about to do it again but I was able to run away. I ran and I ran and I ran. I didn't know where I was running to but I didn't care. Someone caught me by the shoulder and that's when I woke up...." Kayla explained her horrible nightmare to me as she cried uncontrollably. It pained me so much to see Kayla like this.

I pulled Kayla to my chest and shushed we as I softly tried to calm her down. I can't believe she had such a terrible nightmare. She was bawling like no tomorrow, but I didn't care. I silently started to cry as well. Just a few tears but I hated seeing Kayla so scared and distraught. I pulled Kayla into my lap. I held my right hand on her lower back and my left behind her shoulders. Her legs were hung around my hips.

I lightly rocked Kayla and thought of ways to help my baby girl stay calm and be able to sleep again,

"I'm gonna do something to show you that the house will be completely safe for the rest of the night....will you come with me?" I asked. Kayla nodded. She had stopped crying by now and was just sniffling a bit. I nodded and stood up waiting for Kayla to get up. Kayla reached her arms up to me,

"Up?" She asked, voice slightly muffled by her dummy. Almost like a baby. I smiled, I've always loved her baby talk,

"Come here." I said quietly as I picked Kayla up. I set her on my hip and wrapped her legs around my waist. Kayla wrapped her arms around my shoulders and rested her head in my shoulder.

Kayla and I walked throughout the entire flat checking every drawer, cabinet, closet and room for any sign of something scary and/or threatening. I looked under the sofa, all the chairs, beds and furniture. I locked all the doors and windows, closed the curtains. After we were finished I walked Kayla back to the bedroom and set her down on the bed, I got on after her.

I held Kayla's hands in mine and rubbed her knuckles with my thumbs,

"Do you feel better now little one?" I asked. Kayla smiled softly and giggled,

"Yes, tank you.." She whispered. She kissed me and we soon fell asleep cuddling.
