This place is huge, and when I say huge, I really mean it. So many hallways and doors, I swear I'd become lost here.
Sparky showed me to the master bedroom.
"You can sleep here, I'll sleep on the floor." He told me as we walked in.
I understood that he wished to be polite and all.. but to sleep on the floor for my sake? He truly is crazy.
I quickly wrote a note to him;
"You can't possibly sleep on the floor."
"Yes, but I don't want to embarrass you by sleeping in the same bed as you." He explained to me.
"Just share the bed with me, ok?" I wrote promptly. Well, I wasn't just going to let him sleep on the cold, hard floor now, was I?
It was already pretty dark, the sun was retiring from it's work, the sky turning a warm peach colour. As I watched the sun sink into the horizon, I realised how lucky I was that he came along when he did. I'd go crazy out in that forest alone.

As we both climbed into bed, I felt a sudden exhaustion overcome my entire body. I suppose it's from that great fall, but who cares, I was just happy that my first night in this place would be in a warm bed.
I closed my eyes in an attempt to sleep. Sparky, had already fallen asleep.
As I began to drift off, I felt a slight feeling of contentment.
This was ruined by the nightmare.
I found myself falling, like I did earlier today, but this time, into a pit of spikes, blood everywhere, it was horrifying.
I woke up a split second before hitting a spike, the image stayed in my eyes for a while longer, before finaly fading into nothing.
I didn't realise it at the time, but I had woke Sparky with my thrashing and heavey panting upon awaking.
"Sapphy, you alright?" He asked, concerned.
I nodded slightly and, without knowing why, grabbed him and hugged him tightly, not noticing that I was crying.
As he hugged me back, whispering into my ears that everything would be ok, I felt that he was right, because something about Sparky made all of the blackness inside me go away.

The sun was slowly rising, marking a new day. So, seeing no point in going back to sleep, we both clambered out of bed and went to get something to eat.
