Liar

Chapter 8

Sorry it took me so long to update. But here is your chapter 8 my dears
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lex's P.O.V.

We all laughed as we approached the front door. It wasn't often that we actually went out. Especially without Chey. She's been acting up lately and I can tell she isn't quite herself. It really worries me.

As we reached the front door, our laughed stopped the second we heard an ear splitting scream. All of us dashed into the house. None of us quite sure what was going on, but we all feared the same thing.

"Where is she?!" I yelped looking around franticly. Worry setting in like a heavy storm.

I watched as Niko slammed the front door and shifted forms. Niko was our second command when Chey wasn't around. We all shifted seconds after. Riker took a deep breath, his eyes closed. Riker has always had the best nose.

"She's downstairs!" He barked. Thank god the basement door was open. With Riker leading, we all sprinted down the stairs, careful not to hit the walls or each other.

Safely down the stairs, we all returned to human form. I saw Chey curled up in a ball. I dashed over to where she lay, completely asleep. Niko appeared at my side seconds later, cuddling up to Chey almost instantly. The rest of the pack joined us more slowly, they all knew how she got when she had her nightmares. Sometimes worse than others.

"Chey wake up. It's just a bad dream. You're alright," Fey murmured, hoping to wake her in a gentle manner.

Chey twitched violently and let out a little whimper. Niko rubbed her back, so gently I swear he was barely touching her.

"Chey. Wake up. You're alright. The pack is here. We're safe," Charlie cooed, joining in our attempts to wake Chey.

None of us dared touch her while Niko soothed her out of her nightmare. It seem that he was the only one who could safely return our pack leader to reality.

A loud knock on the door snapped me from my thoughts.

"I'll get it," I stated, quickly retreated upstairs to find out whom the visitor might be.

I opened the door to see Luke an his band. Always a lovely surprise to see them.

"Hey guys!" I smiled, opening the door and gesturing them to come in.

"Hey is Chey around?" Luke asked, curiously. I closed the front door and lead them into the kitchen. I heard Chey yelp as we passed the basement door.

"Yeah. But she's sleeping, well kinda," I mumbled the rest of my sentence.

"Wait what?!" The boys all said together, completely confused.

"She's having a nightmare," I replied clearly this time, grabbing a water from the fridge and taking a sip.

"Then wake her up?" Michael said so simply.

"Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Chey has to be woken up a certain way, or she wakes up and has an anxiety attack," I explained briefly.

They nodded in understanding, just as Bryn emerged from the basement. I nodded, acknowledging her.

"Hey guys. --- Uhh Lex, she's awake. She wants to talk to you alone but Niko won't leave her till you're there," Bryn breathed. Slowly catching her breath. I nodded and patted her shoulder as I passed.

I really hoped that nightmare Chey had, held the answers we were seeking, because if not, we might all be really screwed.
