Moonlight Saviour

Chapter 8 - Nightmare

Gulf's POV
The rain poured heavily as I dashed through the forest. I could feel my chest burning and a stabbing pain go through my heart the more I ran. Even so I didn't stop and continued running away from the men chasing me.
"Help me anyone help me" I was terrified as they began to gain speed and catch up to me. Quickly I sprinted of the path and into some of the thick bushes to side, immediately covering my mouth with my hand in an attempt to stop my haggard breathing from being detected by the men. It was pointless as just a few seconds later the leader of the group grabbed me from behind. I quickly pushed myself away from him and stood ready to run until I noticed I was surrounded from all sides.
"Stay away from me!" I shouted not willing to let them capture me again.
"Nobody move!" I shouted at the man to my left side who took a few steps towards me.
"Stop!" I screamed in the strongest voice I could muster. I was absolutely petrified and shaking intensely as I tried to make my voice not crack from fear.
It was a futile as everyone surrounding me each took steps forward leaving me escape as I turned my body left and right searching for any gaps I could fine.
There were none!
"Someone help me!"
"Please someone help me!" I screamed into the air hoping for anyone to save me all I was met with was the horrible laughter of my kidnappers as the leader grabbed my arms and pulled me towards him.
"Mum, Dad, P'Sing, P'Tee help me" I yelled out as I attempted to pull my arms away from the leader but at that moment I could feel the familiar smell of chloroform on the handkerchief that was roughly thrust to cover my mouth and nose. I struggled for a few more seconds before allowing the drugs to fully effect my body and collapsed to the floor. Just before I passed out I could feel myself being carried over the leaders shoulder and managed to say.
"Please let me go" I begged before the darkness completely engulfed my consciousness and everything went dark again.
(End of Nightmare)
I remained in the darkness until I could hear a familiar voice call out my name. It sounded like the voice was panicked and almost like it was crying. It took me a moment longer but I eventually remembered the voice. "Mew!"

Mew's POV
I woke up to movement coming from Gulf's side of the bed. I sat up quickly rubbing my eyes slightly in an attempt to make my view clearer but what I saw made my heart drop. Gulf was laying there thrashing around it almost seemed like he was trying to get away from something. His breathing was heavy and rushed while sweat soaked every pore of his body. I shook his body slightly hoping that he could make up quickly. I couldn't deal with him looking this way. I don't know why but my hearts hurts to see him this vulnerable and in pain. I shook his body slightly harder after a cry escaped from his mouth.
"Stay away from me" he shouted and for a second I stopped shaking him. In that second all I could think to myself was what could have possibly happened to Gulf.
Although that wasn't quite as important as my declaration that he definitely wasn't going to get hurt anymore especially if I had anything to say about it.
I began shaking Gulf again once another cry louder than the one before escaped his mouth dragging out of my thoughts and into action once again.
"Nobody move" he shouted before screaming out "Stop" it was obvious he was terrified by the dream but no-matter what I did it wouldn't wake him up.
When I couldn't handle it anymore, I quickly grabbed my phone from the bedside table and called his Oldest Brother since his mum, dad and second brother were most likely in a conference and wouldn't answers their phone.
"Hello?" P'Singto asked as he answered the phone
"Hello P'Singto this is Mew I need help!" I said in a panicked voice
"What's wrong? Is okay with Gulf?" He asked quickly and judging by his tone I could tell he was seriously worried.
"He's having a nightmare and I can't wake him up from it. What do I do?" I asked even more panicked as I could hear Gulf screaming next to me for help
"Someone help me" he yelled out and I could feel tears falling from my eyes down my face. I knew this wasn't the time to cry but I could help myself It hurt so badly.
"Mew Focus" Singto shouted into his phone.
"He needs physical contact to calm him down." P'Sing explained before telling me what I should do
"You need to get in the bed and hug him tightly so he feels protected. I'm guessing he trusts you so just keep him in your hold shaking your arms slightly and keep saying his name! Okay you got that?" P'Singto said and I didn't wait to reply before getting into my bed and wrapping my arms around Gulf's waist pulling him into my embrace with his head rested against my chest. I tightened my hold as he began thrashing and screaming more in my hold
"Please somebody help me" he screamed and all I did was repeatedly shake his sweat covered body whispering his name and other sweet things to get him to calm down
"Gulf your safe."
"Gulf wake up! Your fine"
"I promise I will protect you"
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again I promise so Baby come back to me" I didn't know where the baby came from or why I wanted to call Gulf it but in the moment it just seemed right so I continued saying after Gulf stirred slightly after I said it.
"Baby your safe" I repeated after Gulf went quiet in my hold. I was hoping the nightmare had calmed down and now he would wake up but moments later I could hear his soft and weak voice begging.
"Please let me go" he begged and I cried even harder. I was unable to contain my tears any longer after that statement. I don't know why but that broke my heart and I resigned to always to keep Gulf happier and safe. After his statement he went completely quiet again so I tried again to wake him up this time more successfully. As I repeating said his name into his eyes and rubbed his back slightly I could see his eyes begin to open and the first thing he said was "Mew"
