Nightmares

The Orc had a sword at my neck. I felt it cutting into my flesh. There was so much pain and blood. I was screaming and kicking. Then I saw my parents heads on spears and Beleniel being cut open. Blood was everywhere. She was screaming. I was chained to a door. There the door opened and I was flung on to a stone wall. In walked a the Witch King and in his hand was my sister's head.
I woke up screaming and sat up. My hand went to my neck. There was no cut or pain there. I looked at my dress. It was a fresh clean pale green dress and my hair was clean and sweet smelling. I turned to see Haldir and Beleniel watching me. I smiled slowly and opened up my arms. Beleniel came running into them. I pulled her close, stroking her hair and rocking her.
'Beleniel, I'm so sorry.' She was sobbing into my shoulder. I kiss her hair then gently pulled her so I could look her in the eyes.
'Beleniel, never go out on your own. Every! Do you understand?' She nodded.
'I promise Nienor. I promise.' I pulled her back into a hug. Then I turned to Haldir. He walked over to me. Beleniel walked out of the room. He gently took my face in his hands and make so that I was looking him in the eyes.
'Nienor, I love you.' I smiled and then he came closer. We gently kissed each other. He was warm and soft. I pulled him close to me.
'Forgive me, Haldir. I'm so sorry.' He kissed my neck and whispered
'I know. I was so worried.' We sat on the bed for a long time, just in each other's arms.


Later that day, I went in search of Raven. I found her, sitting with her feet in the water. She was wearing her hair out of the neat, tight braids and a soft looking brown dress. Her swords were still on her back. I sat down next to her, placing my bare feet into the water next to her. I looked at her and asked her
'Was that the first time you did something like that?' Raven grinned and shook her head.
'We should do it again, but next time we'll be more prepared.'
'Been there, do that.' Raven replied. 'Being prepared doesn't really help.' I raised my eyebrows but turned back to watch the water. Raven sighed deeply. I looked back at her.
'What's up?' I asked. Raven looked down at her feet and replied
'I don't think I will forget what happen back there.' I placed a hand on her shoulder.
'I won't either. In fact, I'm having nightmares.' Raven sighed again and picked at the soft grass.
'So am I.' She said in whispered that I could just catch. I rubbed mp her back.
'We are in this together.' She nodded. We sat there by the water edge in silence for a long time. There was no more to say.
