"Yamin No God, no. Stop

Come back,"

When Katrina awoke to the shouting coming from Kylan, she wasn't confused this time. She knew exactly what was happening, even if she didn't understand why. She turned on her bedside lamp and checked the time. It was just after two o'clock, and she wondered when Kylan had come to

bed

She sat up, brushing her hair away from her face and staring down at Kylan next to her. He seemed to be even worse off than he was the night before, his bangs completely stuck to his forehead, and his face and chest both flushed an imposing red. "Why.. Come back! Come back!"

Kylan kicked out so aggressively, he almost fling himself off the bed as a result.

Once again, witnessing something like that was enough for her. She wasn't going to let him suffer through this alone. She couldn't She really couldn't. She thought about what her father would do for her as a child any time she had a nightmare, and an idea came to her. It was risky. Far riskier than stroking his hair the night before had even been.

But Kylan looked so helpless. So scared. So unlike himself.

She scooted over to him slowly and then laid back down, draping an arm over his abdomen so gently, he was sure not to even feel her at all. She rested her head on the pillow next to his, and then she took a deep breath. She recalled the lullaby both her father and mother used to sing she, swallowed down the nerves stirring up in her throat, and then she forced her mouth to open.

The long-forgotten words from her childhood, flowed from her mouth as little more than a whisper, hardly singing them at all. By the end of the lullaby, she hadn't realized that Kylan wasn't shouting or writhing about any longer.

He wasn't sleeping anymore, either. Instead, he was facing her. She was startled slightly upon seeing his grey eyes looking into hers. But the look on his face. His entire face. It was so open, so vulnerable. Never had she ever seen Kylan look like. Like that. She had no idea what he was thinking, but the way he was staring at her, studying her... It caused the skin across her body to heat up and her heart to race within her chest

"Qu'est-ce que vous faites?" Kylan asked, his voice thick with sleep and a bit hoarse from shouting

"Chanter pour vous," she quietly responded, surprised she understood that he was asking her what she was doing.
