Christmas Eve Night-

I can't sleep, I normally can't on Christmas Eve anyway. It used to be because of excitement but now it's out of fear. I'm scared that if I go to sleep an earthquake will happen again and if someone gets injured, I'll be to tired to realize what I'm doing. Nightmares also scare me. The thing is, my eyes are starting to droop and I'm not sure I'll stay awake much longer-

Nightmare-

I'm 12 again and I'm running through the forest.

"Lee?" I called, I haven't seen my brother since the battle and I'm getting worried.

That's when I heard him,

"William?" I heard a hoarse voice whisper. I turned to my left and saw him.

"Lee! Oh my gods what happened?" He had a deep gash on the side of his head that had a steady flow of blood trickling out. I used a trick Lee first thought me when I was claimed to see if a person had any internal injuries.

His lungs were punctured, two of his ribs were cracked, and his legs were broken.

"Giant." He laughed slightly before coughing.

"You gonna be okay I promise." I said, but I was unsure. I tried using the hymn He taught me to heal, but the light dimmed as I went over him.

"No. No no no no no your going to make it." Tears started falling now, he has to make it, he just has to.

"William breathe, I'm not going to make it, that's ok. Micheal will take care of you now, play tons of pranks on the Stolls for me ok?"

"O- ok. We can do the one you always wanted to do, with the tripwire and the fart arrows." We both laughed at that.

"Tell Micheal he needs to live longer than me. Tell Austin his music brightened my day. Tell Kayla her archery rivals Apollo and Artemis."

A waterfall of tears cascaded down my cheeks. "I will, I'll tell all of them."

He shakily grabbed my hand,

"One more thing, William, you are strong, you are brave, I have never seen a better healer than you. You give the most, you have the biggest heart, you keep the family together. Without you, our cabin would be chaos. Thank you for singing with me." His hand went limp in mine

"Lee? Lee no, you can't be gone, there is so much I still want to say to you, come back! Wait! I'm not ready to loose you."

After nightmare-

"No!" I bolted upright from my sleeping bag. It was still dark and no one was awake. I burst into tears.

Have sad Will because why not.

Is this angst? I'm not sure.

Love y'all,

Beep out! ❤️
