"Nightmare"

He smiled as he saw her sleeping peacefully.
He leaned onto the door frame and started to stare at her sleeping figure.
Staring at her seemed the most beautiful thing to him in the entire world right now.
He stood straight as he noticed sweat forming at her forehead.
His eyes narrowed as he saw her lids shaking.
"Is she awake!" He thought and he walked closer to her.
She was slightly shaking as if something behind her shut eyes was scaring her .
"L- leave m- me...l- leave... She was muffling slowly.
He understood that she was having a nightmare. He sat beside her and put his elegant fingers in her hair. He combed her hair with his fingers as whispered.
"It's fine Emilia, I'm here".
He tried to calm her but her shivering was becoming worse instead of becoming any less.
Her worsening condition got him worried.
Now he could think of only one solution.
He got into the sheets with her, took her in and embraced her fragile little figure tightly as he continued to stroke her hairs.
"It's alright, I'm right here beside you" he slowly whispered around her ear.
Once again regret started to cover him in itself.
Anyway, surprisingly, after a while her body got back to normal. Seeing her now sleeping soundly, Rayven finally relaxed.
Slowly patting her back he also drifted to sleep even before he knew it.

Rayven's eyes opened routine wise as it was dawn outside already. He felt numbness in his left arm so he averted his eyes to the little figure sleeping next to him in his embrace while clinging on to him. Emilia's head rested on his arm the whole night which caused his arm a little numbness.
He smiled as he tucked some naughty strands of her hair behind her ear. He looked at the clock. It was already time for him to go jogging.
"Looks like I'll have to leave you alone for some moments again" he almost whispered as he decided to let her sleep more.
He then slowly shifted her head to the pillow from his arm and got up from the bed slowly.
Lastly glanced at her to make sure she was tucked goodly in the sheets. Then without making a noise he walked out of the room once he was sure.

He was running on the beautiful track which was surrounded by the utmost greenery to keep every person's sight healthy whoever walks past by. His muscles were flexing as he ran in a momentum while moving his arms backward and forward.
The sweat forming at his bright forehead was wetting his frontal hair. Which only caused to look more sexy then he already was.
No person could be seen around as this pathway as it was located right in the middle of the thick forest. Even just watching him run like that could be therapy to a love-thirsty person.
His aura was so alluring yet dangerous at the same time. His head was surrounded with thousands of thoughts of yesterday's incident.
I wouldn't have given a damn if there would be any other person and could've killed him without giving a second thought into it. But he stopped because at the other side it was his brother like friend. He couldn't believe that Jeremy could do something like this. He had least expected this from him but out of all people why it had to be him.
As far as he knew Jeremy he wasn't like this at all. So, what went so wrong!
Suddenly he maximized his speed and started to run fast to clear his head.
What made him stop was the ring of his phone. He stopped as he was panting hard. He stood straight for some moments to normalize his breath.
His phone was still ringing as the person on the other side was determined to talk with him today.
"Who's asking for the hell early in the morning!"
Annoyed, he took his phone out from his cargo and looked at the screen to know who this foolish person was.
His expression changed dark from the annoyed one as the caller was an unwanted person.
Not wanting to, he still picked up the call.
"R- Rayven" a miserable voice echoed in the air-pod in his ear which was connected to his phone.
"Oh, motherfucker it is, I see!" He spat venom.
"Rayven, call me whatever you want but ple-
"Oh Jeremy! How shameless you are! After all that shit you've spread over my place, you're daring to call me again. Rayven cut him off in the middle, snarling.
"Ray-
"Don't fucking call me again! Otherwise I'll forget that I knew you once! Rayven warned.
"Rayven -, Rayven please don't cut the c- call! Just once! Just listen to this one, please. You said that I was like your younger brother! Please, I beg you! Please just listen to me once! Jeremy pleaded over the phone. Rayven felt his voice turning heavy.
Soon after he could hear his sobs.
"The fuck he's crying for! Rayven felt something stinging in his heart.
"Speak up in a hurry as I'm not so free to listen to your blabber! But be careful! One wrong word and I'll make you disappear from this world! Rayven warned him in a threatening tone.
"R- Rayven! I'm sorry for what happened! I- I was dead drunk! I didn't know what I was doing! I don't remember anything! Today when I woke up in the hospital. I didn't even know who did this to me! I don't know how much wrong I've done but I am ready to receive any punishment for my grave sin as long as you forgive me! Jeremy told while sobbing.
"Done with you blabber" came Rayven's response!
"I'm cutting the ca-
"Rayven, I want to be your brother again! Please hang me to death if you want to but please! Please I beg you to forgive me! Jeremy cried.
Rayven hand stopped which was going to disconnect the call, as he heard.
Rayven had seen the world. He had the ability to read people like an opened book and to judge the intentions hidden behind people's voices.
He could feel the sincerity in his words. He sounded like his old Jeremy to him.
"I- I promise, I won't touch alcohol ever again in my life!" Jeremy spoke instantly as he felt Rayven's convincing silence.
Rayven kept his silence as he was unable to answer right away. While Jeremy waited desperately on the other side of the phone waiting for his response.
