Evie lay sleeping on her bed peacefully as i sat comfortably in the chair.

She has been asleep for an hour or two, i have just been relaxing and looking through my phone or listening to some soft music amd the rain that hit the side of the house.

The only light providing the room was a bright night light on the wall.

Im not gonna leave her side, i can tell that she really is afraid to be alone.

A few minutes later i heard her mumble something and she pulled her blanket up and curled her body.

My senses began to pick up her emotions, she seemed stressed as her heartbeat began to pick up.

Then she gradually became terrified as she moved around in her bed, her breaths were heavy and fast and she kept whimpering.

Her heart rate is through the roof.

Then her night light started to flicker and i furrowed my eyebrows.

Then the items in the room began to rise into the air as Evie became more afraid.

I looked around the room, the light flickering, everything now floating in the air.

Is she doing this?

Then she began to scream and i covered my ears.

She screamed and cried and i began to make my way over to her.

I pulled the covers off of her and shook her.

"Evie wake up, your dreaming!" I said as beads of sweat rolled down her face along with her tears.

"EVIE!" I yelled and she shot up and i instantly pulled her into my arms as all of the floating objects fell with a crash and the light went back to normal.

She struggled in my grip, still screaming.

"STOP! LEAVE ALONE!" She yelled at me.

"Evie its me!" I said and she looked up twards me.

I sensed the relief that washed over her and she burried her face in my chest and cried and i held her tight, feeling the dull pulsing once more.

Was that the nightmares she said she had? Some part of me hoped that they weren't all that bad, but its worse than i had imagined.

I dont even know what to think after that, she made everything in her room levitate and the lights flicker on and off.

I have to tell Jonah about this, we have to tell her what she is before her birthday.

I also have to tell him about the feeling i get when we touch.

"Its okay i got you" i said as i heard her heartbeat slow a bit.

"Nothing's gonna get you when im around" i told her.

I felt her body begin to relax and she sniffled and she still shook in fear.

A few minutes later she basically past out in my arms and i laid her back down and stood up from the bed.

I started to clean up all the items that were now on the floor.

I walked over to the side of the room were all het awards are, i picked up a large trophy for archery, the date of it taking place Saturday, the day we met.

I set it back up in its place, doing the same with the rest.

I saw a pin board on the wall covered in pictures, one picture of Evie and a red headed girl sitting on the beach laughing, i think that must be Freya.
