Nightmare (also known as: I'm an evil mun)

[quitechild]

Clara had woken up from the 'bad dream' again. It wasn't the first or last time she had the dream. She just glanced around the dormitory room. Seven other girls hared the room with her. Their ages ranged from six to ten. She was the youngest of the group. But right now she needed to get out. She didn't bother to pull on slippers

How does Ali know when her friends need company? Is it some weird fairy thing, a tingling mommy-sense, the army of midgets she has stalking people? She won't tell. It's hardly important right now.

She watches Clara for a moment, worry drawing her eyes and lips into narrow lines, then settles on the ground beside her. "Clara?"

"It..it won't stop," she mutters. Right now she's rocking on her heels. But she thumps down into the grass.
"A-Ali?" At least it isn't from the nightmare. The little girl sniffles. "B-Bad dream."

"It's me." She holds her arms out to Clara. "Come here, I'll protect you from the nightmares my sweet girl."

Clara of course does so. She's still shaken up. "Ali? The wind....the wnd...something feels...wrong."

And it did. But the garden was providing a touch of protection. Because the statue had been blessed at one point. The fact was though one would have to be highly intuned now to nature. It seemed a very small part of Clara's nightmare was becoming real.
