Weakness...

[yesthathunter]

I had... the dream again last night. This is getting so... so... I can't handle this. I'm not frightened. I can't be. I'm Hunter. It's dead. It can't touch me. So why do I wake up, hearing its breath in the darkness?

"Because that's what nightmares do."

"I..." She shudders. "I'm not used to being... weak."

"It isn't a weakness. No more so than needing oxygen."

"Yes. It is. Being frightened of something that is dead is foolish."
