Drifting away (cream story)

Miss you already

Cross' POV
It's been a week since dream left, he's never been gone for this long normally it's only for like three days for him to be out but this time was different.

Lux and starcross I have been asking me constantly when dream's coming home but I could never know what to tell them so I just gave them the same answer any parent would tell them "he'll come home soon, just be patient and hopefully he'll come back".

But I feel like the more I tell them that line, the more I think they don't believe me, oh dream I hope you'll come back soon, the children are begging for you to come back and I'm running out of excuses to tell them when you'll come home.

At night, it's even worse. Especially since last night I heard starcross crying in his sleep I ran in his room and asked him what was wrong he told me he had a nightmare that dream died in a battle. Those words scared me, no... dream couldn't be dead besides it was just a dream (no pun intended) it couldn't be true, Dream is strong and is filled with courage I know someone who has a spirit like that would never die!

But just the thought of hearing the news of dream's death haunt me every night but I try not to get the kids worried. I've recently been having trouble sleeping, I was too scared to fall asleep, if I got that nightmare starcross told me about, so I lie awake at night staring at the pitch black ceiling.

The next day, I got up early to make the kids and myself breakfast, strangely it felt very quiet, probably because lux and starcross are still asleep. After a couple of minutes, I started to hear the footsteps of the children coming down and as always they would ask me the same question every time they woke up.

"Is mom home yet?" Lux asked while rubbing her eye "no sorry sweetie he isn't home yet" I answered knowing the children would give me the same sad look "but I made breakfast who wants bacon and scrambled eggs?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"I do!" Starcross answered and ran to the table to sit down and have his breakfast served.

"What about you lux? I know how much you love bacon" I asked my daughter who was leaning against the wall looking sad "sure, why not" lux replied walking to the table and having her breakfast served.

Lux's POV
I know my dad is trying his best to cheer me up, but I wish mom was here and not at another one of his missions not only that but lately my little brother Starcross, has been telling me he's been getting dreams of seeing our mother die but he never says who or what. It better not be a someone other wise I will kill them! Sorry lost my cool there... but still, I wish there would be a time where mom could just spend time with us hopefully things will get better soon....

Starcross' POV
Lately, I've been getting bad dreams of my mom getting killed. Although I can't really see who, it's just too dark all I see is that mom gets caught in some weird black goopy tentacles and the tentacles are wrapped around his body and choking him. No matter how many times I scream or when mom screams nobody came. I really hope this dream won't come true, and because of that dream I don't sleep often but I try not to show that I do. I hope things will go back to normal soon...
