Please, It’s Just A Story!!

She woke up with shock from her dream. Her eyes couldn't focus for a moment and she started to panic, with her tears still falling. She panted out and tried to steady her breathing but no progress was made.

In attempts to move around she knocked down the cup of water.

A shattering sound came!

A rush of foot steps reached her room. But because she wasn't paying attention and could barely make her surrounding known, she didn't even hear them.

The men looked at the cup and the paled faced Elaina, clutching the blanket so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She was also breathing irregularly.

"Elaina!" Takiyo came and held her in his arms. She was cold and it must be because of her nightmare.

"It's alright" Takiyo gently held her in his arms and ignored the too men, keeping his attention on her.

"Mother she-" She kept in stuttering.

"Calm down Eli"

"She's gone-"

"Don't worry. I've got you" Takiyo gently reassured her.

Kazuki and Kioshi looked at each other and slowly left the room to give Elaina and Takiyo some space.

After a few minutes of comforting, Elaina regained her normal thinking. She looked at Takiyo shirt that was a little bit wet from her tears.

"Sorry.." she looked at his shirt, she ruined with her tears.

"It's fine" Takiyo handed another glass of water to Elaina which she drank slowly.

"Was it the same nightmare?" He Takiyo asked in a soft voice.

"Mm" Elaina didn't feel like talking and stared out the window of the hospital.

Takiyo looked at her and couldn't help but pity Elaina a bit. Around this time of the year she'll get the worst nightmares possible. Either waking up screaming or crying for her mother.

His heart couldn't take it when he remembered her past self.

She really is fallen from her grace...

He silently stared at her, but knowing that she won't talk to anyone, he got up and started walking to the door and closed it. He knew she needed time for herself.

He just got out and was suddenly pushed by someone. Takiyo was ready to flare up! He didn't know which madman had such audacity to do that! His sharp tongue yelled at the culprit.

"Are you blind? Can't you say sorry when you push a person!?" He felt pissed off by the fact that person came and went.
