" you're safe , you're safe " Aurelia gasped , the cold air cooling her down at rapid speed.  

She always got nightmares - it was like a routine . Step one sleep , step two have a nightmare , step three  wake up at the crack of dawn with sweat beading down your forehead. It was horrid. Always the same distasteful dream- her parents death. Even with the amount of times she saw it she never got used to it : their pale lifeless bodies on the cold wet dirt , whatever sign of hope and life draining out of them with each drop of blood. She had been 14 too young to know what to do but old enough to know what it meant . 

6:15 . A new time , the seasons were changing and that was a fact plus the leaves of Noctryss had already browned . She sunk into her bed letting it swallow her whole her thoughts like a storm .

He woke up with a shiver down his spine and whiskey still pulsing through his veins . Last night was a charity gala , for him that was code for getting drunk with friends and laughing too loud at every joke said .

His head pounded as he sat up  reaching for his water . He must of have too much fun and too little self awarness. A newsletter with a note from his father that had a string of curse words littering its pure white surface . His face , his arm ... wrapped around a girls waist . No wonder his father was so angry and no wonder his room was so messy . Yet with all the photos those were probably going to be the last taken of him and that girl - and everyone knew it . 

Atlas stood up and went to have a shower , the only thing able to truly wake him up after his nerves sat dormant for so long . Water hit him like a waterfall yet even in all the fog it felt peaceful , it felt like all therapy he needed but that wasnt true . He had seen horrible things like murder and transporting women , the worst was him getting shot in the chest . The scar still ached like an eternal reminder of all his pain. Something so theraputic went cold and dry fast.
