As the night dragged on, her sleep became less peaceful, and more restless than she would’ve liked. Sure, she’s had nightmares before, they usually presented themselves as her sisters death, or her mom’s or her dad’s, but this one was different. She never cried in front of people, she didn’t like to. She thought it showed weakness, and she hates to vulnerable. She was always the one in charge when the Fall began, she wasn’t allowed to be weak. So, one could imagine the frustration when this particular nightmare rolled in.<br/><br/>She tried not to dwell on her past experiences, however, they had a way of tormenting her in more than one way every now and again. About halfway through the night, when both of the tired individuals were deeply asleep, a cry echoed through the make shift home. If one wasn’t aware of her nightmare, it could’ve been mistaken for a scream as if someone was being killed. She had woken with a start, a strangled cry escaping her throat as she covered her mouth. At this point, she didn’t really think whether or not she woke Arc, and she screwed her eyes shut as sobs racked her body. Her hands were shaking and she backed herself into the corned of the bed, curling up as her shoulders violently shook. She kept her mouth covered, trying to refrain from any noise. However, with these particular dreams, she tended to forget that she wasn’t in that situation anymore until proven otherwise, and that’s just what was happening now. She wasn’t completely awake, and had thought that she was still trapped, alone. Tears were streaming down her face, her chest aching. Never, ever, has anything that she’s gone through or dreamt about affected her in such a way. She curled up against the wall, her cries coming through clearly as she didn’t attempt to hide them any longer.<br/><br/>She hadn’t had a latch, or anyone to confide in since her sisters death. But then again, the dreams hadn’t started till them. She was a tough person, you could torture her, hurt her, try and manipulate her, but what they did to her was different, it was wrong. She may have trusted Arc, but that didn’t mean that she was comfortable with anything that would come along with her feelings for him. That was also the reason that she feared her feelings slightly, she’d never known anything good, only pain.<br/><br/>Her mind was trained to fear this.
