A little while later she was sucked into a nightmare. She was careening down the river, headed straight for the rocks. She whimpered as she crashed into the first rock, her body shaking
"I failed, I'll never be able to forget that. Espesially because you became and assassin to keep me safe. If I hadn't been there you could have run away long ago."
She winced slightly, her middle aching from when she had been slammed into the rocks. She shook ehr head. "I made a promise. I failed, I even disapoint myself."
A particularly loud thunderclap seemed to shake the earth
Sasha:
She squeaked and curled up in a ball, scared by the thunderclap. "I promised to keep you safe when I went to Dakur. I failed. I failed pathetically, I couldn't keep you safe."
"Sasha, you can't do everything, your amazing alright, of course my father was still cruel to me," he shrugged slightly. "But that's my problem nit yours."
"If I was smart I would have stopped my father from manipulating me into become an assassin, if I was smart I would have kept you safe from Lex and his assassins, if I was smart I wouldn't have tried to kill my father or gone to the 4th clan."
"Then why is it so scary?! If thunder can't hurt anyone then why is it so scary?" she asked, tears rolling down her face, her face still covered by her blanket

"Yes, safe," he murmured.

"Safe?"
Leo,
"Yes," he murmured, "I'm here,"

She heard Leo's voice and the tension left her sleeping face. "Leo."
Leo,
"You're not drowning," he murmured, "You're safe, You're with me," he murmured.
Sasha:
She huddled closer to Leo, "Don't let me drown. Please don't let me drown."
Leo,
He wrapped his arm over Sasha, "You're safe," he murmured .
Sasha:
A little while later she was sucked into a nightmare. She was careening down the river, headed straight for the rocks. She whimpered as she crashed into the first rock, her body shaking
Leo,
He laid back down next to Sasha.
Sasha:
She nodded. "Safe." she murmured, rollng over and closing her eyes
Leo,
"Yes, you're safe," he murmured.
Sasha:
"I'm not drowning, I'm not in the lake, I'm on dry land. I'm safe." she murmured
Leo,
He gently rubbed her back, reassuringly.
Sasha:
She took deep breaths, trying to reasure herself that she wasn't drowning and she wasn't in the lake
Athena,
She dozed off again.
Leo
He looked at her kindly.
Sasha:
She nodded
Leo
"Sasha, you're alright,' he murmured softly.
Sasha:
She opened her eyes after a half hour of trying to fall asleep, every time she dozed off she dreamed she was drowning and woke up
Athena
She smiled slightly .
Ezra:
He nodded
Athena,
She slowly reached up a hand and set it on his cheek, "I'll be alright," she murmured.
Ezra:
"I know but I can't stop worrying."
Sasha:
she closed her eyes, trying to rest
Athena,
She glanced up at him, "please don't worry about this, I have seriously lived through worse,"
Ezra:
He looked at Athena, worried about her
Athena,
she Nodded slightly.
Ezra:
"The thunder seems to have stopped."
Athena,
She sighed softly.
Ezra:
He nodded
Athena,"
",Y-yeah, eventually," she whispered softly.
Ezra:
He nodded. "Do you want a kihlara?"
Athena,
"N-no," she murmured, "but I take care of my friends sometimes when she is out hunting,"
Sasha:
"I d-don't know why that h-happened."
Ezra:
"Do you have a khilara?"
Leo,
"Its alright," he murmured.
Athena,
Her breathing calmed down some.
Ezra:
He nodded.
Sasha:
"I'm sorry."
Leo
He very gently setca han on Sasha's back.
,
Athena
"W-wild s-strawberries,"
Sasha:
She looked at Leo out of the corner of her eye.
Ezra:
"What's your favorite food?"
Athena,
"C-cool" she whispered.
Ezra:
He nodded. "My favorite animal is a wolf."
Sasha:
Her tears finally slowed
Athena,
"W-wolf, or P-panther," she murmured, "also, an o-owl,"
Ezra:
"What's your favorite animal?" He asked.
Sasha:
She shook her head, nothing was alright
Leo,
"Sasha, it's alright," he murmured .
Athena,
She shuddered slightly, but kept her focus on Ezra's words.
Ezra:
He heard the thunder and started talking a little louder to drown out the sound of the thunder.
Sasha:
(She's as emotionally fragile as I am this morning) "I'm sorryI'm sorryI'm sorryI'm sorryI'm sorryI'm sorry."
Athena
She Started to slowly relax.
Leo
He wished he knew further ways to help
Ezra:
He started talking, just talking, not about any specific subjects, just talking.
Sasha:
She sobbed, her head in ehr hands, rocking back and forth
Leo,
He whispered calming words to her.
Athena,
She huddled closer to Ezra knowing that Thunder soon came after lightnin
Sasha:
She started to cry softly.
Ezra:
The world lit up for a moment as lightning streaked across the sky
Leo,
"It's alright," he murmured.
Athena,
"Yeah," she whispered.
Sasha:
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
Ezra:
"That's good."
(Woah- just got on- XD)
Leo,
He gently tightened the hug.
Athena,
"It's feeling a little better," she murmured.
Ezra:
"How's your head, Athena?" he asked
(Night!)
Sasha:
"I failed, I'll never be able to forget that. Espesially because you became and assassin to keep me safe. If I hadn't been there you could have run away long ago."
Leo,
"Sasha Don't be so hard on yoursekr," he murmured.
Athena,
"S-s-safe," she stuttered quietly.
(I should go for the night its almost 4 AM here, night! )
Ezra:
"It's ok, you're safe."
Sasha:
She winced slightly, her middle aching from when she had been slammed into the rocks. She shook ehr head. "I made a promise. I failed, I even disapoint myself."
Leo,
"Sasha, it's alright, thats a promise that's hard to keep, he murmured pulling her into a hug..
Athena,,
She yelped, and huddled closer into Ezra.
Ezra:
A particularly loud thunderclap seemed to shake the earth
Sasha:
She squeaked and curled up in a ball, scared by the thunderclap. "I promised to keep you safe when I went to Dakur. I failed. I failed pathetically, I couldn't keep you safe."
Leo,
"Sasha, you can't do everything, your amazing alright, of course my father was still cruel to me," he shrugged slightly. "But that's my problem nit yours."
Sasha:
"And I failed! Your father was still cruel to you and you still got hurt!"
Leo,
"Sasha listen, you were 5! And you wanted to protect me!"
Athena,
She stirred starting to wake up.
Sasha:
"If I was smart I would have stopped my father from manipulating me into become an assassin, if I was smart I would have kept you safe from Lex and his assassins, if I was smart I wouldn't have tried to kill my father or gone to the 4th clan."
Leo,
"You're not a puppet, not anymore,"
Sasha:
"No, it made me a puppet."
Leo,
"Yes, but, it still makes you smart,"
Athena,
She blushed in her sleep.
Ezra:
He blushed. "I think I like you too."
Sasha:
"You know where and why I learned all of those skills.
Leo,
"Lets see....
Yiu know how to cook,
Your amazing with Daggers,
Quick thinker," hd smirked.
Athena,,
"I think I like you,'
" she murmured quietly in her sleep.
Sasha:
"Prove it."
Leo,
"Sasha, its not true," he said.
Athena,
She smiled slightly in her sleep.
Sasha:
"It is to true."
Ezra:
"I'll do my best."
Leo,
He shook his head, "nit true, "
Athena,
"Don't worry about me," she murmured softly In her sleep.
Sasha:
"I am too. I don't know anything about a lot of things and I have an irational fear of thunder."
Ezra:
He looked down at Athena, worry shining in his eyes.
Leo,
"You're not stupid," he murmured,
Athena,
"Just... thunder..." sje whispered, dozing off.
Ezra:
"Yeah, it's just thunder."
Sasha:
"I feel stupid because I'm afraid of thunder."
Athena,
"Just thunder l," she murmured.
Leo,
"Understandable m," he murmured softly.
Ezra:
"You're safe, Athena, it's just thunder."
Sasha:
"I don't know. I know I shouldn't be scared of something that can't hurt me but every time I hear thunder I want to scream and run and hide."
Leo,
"Mayve because of how loud it is?"
Athena,
She shuddered slightly, reaching up a shaky hand and gently tousled Ezra's (color) hair, calming herself down some.
Sasha:
"Then why is it so scary?! If thunder can't hurt anyone then why is it so scary?" she asked, tears rolling down her face, her face still covered by her blanket
Athena,
She leaned into the hug.
Leo
"Thats right, " he murmured.
Sasha:
"J-just thunder, thunder can't hurt anyone," she murmured, trying to reasure herself.
Ezra: He sat down next to ehr and hugged her
Athena,
She shrugged slightly, "I-I, d-don't know, " she murmured softly.
Ezra:
He opened the door to Athena's tent. "Are you alright?"
Sasha:
She didn't know how to respond
Leo,
"Just thunder
," he repeated again
Athena,
She tugged nervously on her dark brown hair with both her hands.
Ezra:
He went to check on Athena.
Sasha:
she nodded, "Y-yeah j-just th-thunder."
Leo,
"Just thunder," he murmured softly.
Athena,
She cringed as thunder rumbled across the sky again.
Sasha:
"It's j-just th-thunder," she tried to remind herself but it didn't get rid of the fear she felt every time she heard the crashing thunder.
Ezra:
He hoped Athena was alright
Athena
She leaped awake, the pain in her head slightly less now,
She glanced around, and heard the thunder again ahe flinched slightly.
Leo,
He gently put an arm over Sasha.
A couple hours later:
Sasha:
She jerked awake, not sure what had woken her until she heard the loud thunder. She flinched and hid her head under her blanket, she hated thunder!
Athena,
She soon doozed off.
Ezra:
"Sleep well." He left the tent and headed to his tent
Athena
"T-thqnk you," she whispered.
Ezra:
He nodded and picked Athena up. He carried her to ehr tent and set her on her sleeping bag.
Athena,
"Fine," she mumbled, "w-will yiu help me there?"
Ezra:
"Athena. Please."
