Immortals (2)

I was woken by Roxy squirming in her sleep. The poor kid was having nightmares. Her hand gripped mine as she shivered in fear.

"Rox wake up. it's ok it was just a dream." I woke her up.

The kid's eyes filled with tears as she hugged me. I petted her head as she cried into my shoulder. I had no idea of what she had been through. She sobbed for a while before passing back out on my shoulder. I gently laid her down and covered her up. The poor kid must have been through a lot. I stood up and walked over to the window in our room. The moonlight cast a beam of light on a cherry blossom tree. A woman stood there in blinding white robes. I opened the window and stealthily jumped out. I could hear the woman singing a beautiful song. Her soft voice echoed in my ears like some sort of spell. My feet moved forward by themselves. The woman's eyes meet mine. Her face was breathtaking. my mind was screaming at my feet to stop.
