((Warning - slight boobies and gore.... Liz did the photoshopping on this NOT ME))

2:00 AM
Image
Cora: *looking scared, holding a sleepy Witten* Eden and Niko's door is locked....

Image
Cora: *shifts Witten a little in her arms* And Luis' door is locked too... I really don't want to but I don't have much of a choice....
Witten: *yawns*

Image
Cora: I really didn't want to have to come in and wake you up.. but there is a huge, ugly, nasty spider in my room! I need you to come and kill it for me.... at least I think it was a spider.. it looked like a spider, a shadowy thing crawling up my wall!!
V: *waking up, sleepily* What..? A spider? It must have been your eyes playing tricks on you...

Image
Cora: No! It must have been a real spider... it's scary and icky and I can't sleep in there! I already tried Eden and Luis' doors and they are locked.

Image
V: *turns back over* Eden is very good at spraying for bugs.. I'm certain it must have been your imagination.
Cora: ........

Image
Cora: I'm still frightened... I'm going to sleep in here tonight.
V: That's fine.

Image
Cora: *starts to lift the blankets cautiously* You're not wearing anything embarassing or completely naked are you??
V: No, I'm not.
Witten: *crawling away to find a place to sleep*

Image
Cora: I'll stay on my own side of the bed, I promise. And I won't be a blankie hog!!
V: That's fine... just get some sleep okay?

Image
Cora: *wiggles around trying to get comfortable* Your bed is comfy <3
V: *starts to lightly snore*

Image
Witten: *purrs and passes out on V's pillow*

3:00 AM
Image
Cora: *is still and quiet, asleep*
V: *continues to sleep, snoring lightly*

Image
Cora: *begins to twitch, her fingers moving involuntarily as she sleeps, making small noises*

Image
Cora: *starts to thrash a bit, her noises becoming louder like half-formed protests*

Image
The rose... the rose... the blood red rose...

Image
Cora: *asleep, her mumbling half-formed but terrified* No... no... i'm not ready...

Image
V: *wakes up, looking over at Cora* Cora...? *is not sure if she's awake or dreaming*

Image
Cora: *shakes her head in her sleep, still thrashing around a bit* no..... no..... not ready....

Image
The axe.... the axe... the blood red axe....

Image
V: *listens to her for a bit, partly curious as to what she is dreaming about* no... not ready for what?

Image
Cora: *clenches and unclenches the blankets between her fingers, her half-coherent protests becoming louder* No... no...

Image
The seal will make way for the key....

Image
When the fires burn out.... we will know... then...

Image
V: *reaches out, hestitating as he doesn't know what to do, moving his hand and caressing her hair, touching her shoulder* Cora...

Image
Cora: *begins to sob, waking up and burying her face between the pillow and her hand*

Image
Cora: *continues to weep, covering her face with her hand* These horrible dreams... I don't know where they come from or what they mean....

Image
V: *strokes her hair, trying to comfort her, not saying anything*
Cora: I wish they would just go away... I can't sleep... I never sleep...

Image
V: They are just dreams, Cora... nothing more. They can't hurt you.

Image
Cora: But.. it seems so real.. it feels... so real...

Image
V: You haven no reason to be scared... you have a house full of people here who care about you...

Image
Cora: Then why... does it hurt so much.

Image
V: *moves so Cora can turn around to face him* It hurts because you are scared.. there are things you don't understand and you feel vunerable... with not knowing who you are or where you came from...
Cora: I don't feel safe... I don't know what that feels like..

Image
V: *pulls Cora closer to him, holding her*
Cora: I don't know anything, I don't remember anything.. I feel so weak and frightened...

Image
V: This might have to do with events in your past that you don't remember... perhaps someday it will all become clear.

Image
Cora: If my dreams are what it was like... then I don't want to remember....

Image
V: Right now.. don't worry about the past. You are here and safe now.
Cora: *quietly* I am safe... if I sleep will you make sure nothing gets me?

Image
V: Of course I will...
Cora: *closes her eyes to try to fall back asleep* Thank you...

Image
V: *moves his hand, holding Cora more tightly, hoping that she goes back to sleep* Goodnight Cora..

AWESOME OMAKE:
Image
The cat habit of face-sleeping does not go well with V

Image
Neither does the old "cat-hat"

Image
So Witten goes to sleep with Ebby who is too fat and busy sleeping herself to be bothered by it
