Side Story - 6 - Nightmares and Night Terrors

Gaibe's Point Of View

My current situation was pretty unbelievable. On the one hand, I had been told to stay with Kaleb for as long as he needed... Or, for as long as he wanted. On the other hand, every minute spent here was nerve-wracking, now that Tristan knew I was here.

Kaleb seemed to be in a better mood, now that Tristan was no longer scolding him. But, I couldn't unsee the look in Tristan's eyes as he had told me he'd talk to me later.

Just remembering those eyes made me shudder. I wanted to absorb Kaleb's carefree attitude into my body so bad, but life was so cruel.

We had eaten an awkward breakfast, after which, we had gotten some much needed sleep.

Unfortunately, Tristan's warnings were not unfounded. Kaleb was quite the fitful sleeper, and he had woken me up out of my sleep with a hard knee to the groin.
