Author's Note

Man, I'm up at night... but here is another story. And no one asked for this, it was all me. Anyway, this is a bit christian, has a bit or romance and horror too.

What If: Zephyr had a nightmare?

Narrator's POV:

A sound of a cute yawn was heard as Laura was out of the bathroom. Her hair in a bun, no shoes were on her feet and even her clothes was a night gown which was black. She walked up to the bed as Zephyr was waiting for her, shirtless but wore a pair of grey track pants. His hair was in his normal man bun but his chin was shaved. She sat on the bed as Zephyr grabbed her as she hugged him tightly.

"Ready for bed?"

He asked, as he smiled at her. She blushed and nodded, while she cuddled into his chest. The two flushed as Zephyr turned his body to turn off the lamp. It was now dark as the door was creaked open a bit as it revealed some light from the hall, Zephyr put the blanket over them, he yawned as he cuddled into both his pillow and his girl. Till he heard whispering, he was confused till he looked down, seeing Laura whisper.

"Um... what are you doing?"

"Hm? Oh sorry, I was praying to God."

"Oh."

"Wanna pray with me? I could teach you."

Zephyr nodded, he said...

"Nah, you go do it."

"O-okay."

Laura frowned at this as she once more prayed to God. Later on, the couple was asleep. Peacefully as nothing was heard but a scenery of the sky, the moon and in the stars was shown. Nothing but a peacefully and lovely night to sleep. Another hour went by as it was around two o'clock in the morning, the sound of snoring and mumbling was heard as the couple was were still close.

Their hairs were messed up, while some drool appeared on there lips. For Zephyr, it wasn't so good. Minutes went by as his eyes were tighten a bit, he frowned a bit as he mumbled a bit. He turned on his left as he continued. It was a dream, a weird one to be sure, it started as Zephyr was in a large land of grass... and I mean full of it.

The grass was around two inches tall, the sky was a cleared as the sun was in the east. As if it was raising up, the colour was a beautiful blue with dark blue features to it. And it was a bit dark too, as if Zephyr couldn't see anything. He began to look around, he first walked around the field, trying to know where he is.

He couldn't be in the city. Perhaps in farm land? Who knows. He continued to walk, he kept seeing the same scenery, grass. But no trees, no barns, nothing. He thought it was sketchy and thought, how could he see without any lights? He continued his walk till a sound was heard. His pupils went low as he turned around, seeing nothings since it was still pitch black.

"U-um... hello?"

He asked as he turned his back around, his pupils low as he scratched his head in confusion. He could've heard that noise somewhere, he thought as he continued his walk. Noises and sounds continued, it sounded like bristling... but with what? There wasn't a single bush or tree in sight, he was getting a bit anxious.

His heart raced a bit as he started to walk a bit fast. By this, he heard the noises getting louder, he gulped as he continued his walk. Same thing he saw, over and over again. It was getting scary, he wanted to wake up, for some reason couldn't. Outside of his dream, he was whimpering a bit as he hung onto the pillow, his facial expressions on his face was a crooked eyebrow and a small frown.

In his dream again, he was now running, huffing and puffing, still seeing the same scenery. It was like he kept going around in a circle. The intense noises of the background got louder, and louder, and louder and louder till...

"Ah!"

Zephyr fell as he rolled down a mountain, for the the mountain, it was all brown as small pebbles were grey. It was hurting him as he literally felt it, it ended as he landed onto another grass field. He groaned in pain as he slowly got up, feeling a bit petrified. His arms were now bruised in the dream and his pants, now had holes on the legs. His hair was messed up as it was down, and his arms and his chest was scratched.

"Where I'm I now."

Zephyr said as he face another grass field, it had the same scenery as before. Now this is even more scary, especially for him. Till this a part he will never forget, as he began to walk slowly, something made him stop. He was silent and the noises were now silent. Till, he heard a deep voice, like it was growling as it said...

"Your next."

Zephyr heard as his pupils went low... who was speaking? He turned his head around, to see another person beside him, but for some reason, this person was... not human, No face, no body, but just all black. Zephyr's pupils went lower than before as scream came from his mouth, making the person jump on him.

"AHHH!"

Zephyr screamed as he shot up from his bed side. He huffed and puffed as his pupils were low, his heart raced and looked at his body to see any wounds on him. Luckily, it was nothing. Laura heard his small scream, making her jump from her bed. She looked around, eyes widen and her mouth asking...

"W-what's going on?! I-is there someone in the house?!"

Till she saw Zephyr, him looking at her and her looking at him. She saw tears in his eyes, as he whimpered.

"What's wrong?"

She asked as Zephyr hugged her, cuddling against her.

"I-I had a bad dream."

"About what?"

Later on, Zephyr told everything from beginning till end about this weird and sketchy nightmare of his. Laura frowned, she hated it when this happened. She stroked his hair as fresh tears fell from his eyes, silently he cried as she felt a kiss on his head.

"This is the reason why I tell you to pray with me."

"H-huh?"

"Whenever you pray to God, you'll feel more protected if you ask him. Zeph, you just gotta give it a try."

"B-but what if he... doesn't listen."

"He loves you... he loves everyone. Plus, he does."

Zephyr was silent. Tears continued to fall while she gave him another kiss on his head and continued to stroke his hair. Later, it was almost three o'clock, Laura was knocked out as she slept peacefully. While Zephyr was up, thinking about what she said.

The End
