Sweet Dreams
Just a quickie!
Jeff tossed and turned in his uneasy sleep. He had recently been having night terrors and they had gradually become more and more vivid. He confided in Kat and had begun to record a dream lab in aid of easing the terrors. He felt unseen people wrap their hands around his throat and imaginary flames lick against his body. He saw his loved ones and friends die as he watched in helpless agony himself, the pain searing the images directly into perspective, creating deep psychological scars.
Jeff was an anthro great white shark. He was 16 and a half and 5 foot 8" in height. He weighed around 10 pounds and had a thin but muscular build. He is lively and joyful in terms of his personality, if often inappropriate, and an all round nice guy. However at times he becomes very disruptive and angry, often leading to outbursts and is bullied because of this. He has had some very bizarre things happen to him since he was fifteen. He has green eyes. He has two disabilities: Aspergers and ADD.
He saw monsters tare him open and knives penetrate his soft skin. He broke out in a cold sweat and fell out of the bed, away from Kat who was sleeping with him, waking Jeff and making him squeal in surprise, Jolting him away from the hell inside his mind. "Whoa!"
Kat was a gray dragonraptor hybrid around 6 foot in height and 17. He was pansexual. He was a very kind and affectionate person. He had only met Jeff around two weeks ago at school but something had clicked between them from the moment they met. Kat is very loyal, but often quiet and rarely voiced his opinion but didn't let that stop him. Has an enjoyable sense of humour and loves being around anyone he likes. He can also be shy and timid.
He lowered his voice to a whisper as he shot a glance at his bedside table where his phone and clock resided along with a bedside lamp. "Oh... man. Camera, cameracameracamera." He reached inside the bedside table's drawer and found it, a Sony handycam. He turned on his bedside lamp and hit play. "I've just had another one. Time's 00:42. Hands around my throat- man I can feel them now- loved ones dying and monsters tearing me open- I can still feel this too- and knives stabbing me." He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before continuing, "They have gotta stop. I know it will go away. It has to. Strange how they seem to stop at midnight or start then." He sighed as Kat had obviously heard the squeal and had woken up. "You have another night terror?" Asked a concerned Kat, groggily.
"Yeah. This is my 'friend' Kat. He's been helping me through it." Jeff paused the camera and sat on the bed next to Kat and hugged him and gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek and restarted the camera. "What was that for?" inquired Kat. "Because I watched you die tonight. I saw you get torn apart by a stretcher. Then beheaded, and then split in half, then..." Jeff was cut off by him "I've heard enough. I'm alive and not going anywhere even when this is over. If you ever need me, I'm here, I promise. To the end." he said with a compassionate tone. Jeff went in for a second hug and turned off the camera and lamp, then began to cry silently and gripped Kat tightly then kissed him. Jeff pulled away slowly and spoke " Thank you. I love you helping me. I love you."
Kat replied, yawning " I love you too, Jeff."
They both fell gently back on the soft still warm bed, in each others arms, smiled at each other and gradually drifted off to sleep, slowly dreaming of each other - minus the terrors.
