Sapphire's POV

"Hey, s-should we stop now? My legs are giving in" I panted tiredly. We've been running for so long now and as sure as hell, we're already out of town. Eh?

"Okay, we need to stop if you can't run anymore. I think we're far enough for him to reach us. Are you okay?" Xander asked. I adjusted my eyes as I stare at him. Why the hell is he glowing? What is he? An angel? I laugh. Well, I must be lucky.

"Yeah yeah, I'm okay" I said through my ragid breaths. Gosh, I'm so tired. I look around me, realizing we're in the middle of the... Road? Road. But why is- Don't we have a place to stay in? Huh, lucky me. And its already past ten o' clock at night. Seriously? Just how many hours did we run?

"I'm sorry. I seriously can't find us shelter to stay because of our situation right now, but I promise, I'll watch over you if you want to sleep" He said.

"What are you doing here? I thought I can only see you in my dreams? How did-"

"Well maybe because I can't stand seeing you hurt by him. So I need to get you out of there"

I look down. I wonder what Blake is doing right now. Is he okay? I scratch my head. Fuck this. I sigh.
"I want to sleep" I said quickly.

"Well go on" He sit beside me, offering his shoulder for me to lean on. I frowned. "But I don't think a ten year old boy like you can protect me. Don't take this as an insult, my own safety is my own priority you know and if-"

"Well, I don't blame you. But I swear to God, I'll protect you no matter what. Its my duty. I need to keep you safe, especially from him. You're his only chance, you can help him"

"Who? Blake?"

He nodded.

"Sleep. I'll see you in your dreams. I need to show you something" "Okay" I said, yawning. "Will you be fine?" I added.

"Just sleep Sapphire, I'll be fine"

"You're like my lampshade" I chuckled. "I'm sleeping on a lampshade, how cool" I said as my eyes gets heavier. "Shhh, sleep"

And then darkness greets me.

Where am I now this time? Am I dreaming again? I yawned. A ceiling? Am I in a room? I look around me, realizing I'm in a... Bed. Bed. Seriously? I thought I was-

"Hey" A boy greeted me, I smiled. "Hey Xander"

"Well, welcome back again" I look around me once again. I'm confused. "Where am I?" I asked as I stand up from the bed. Gosh, my head's pounding.

"You're in your room" My room? This is so far from my room. My room back home is old and very dusty, but not this white painted walls, very comfy bed and clean surroundings... I frown. Am I really that messy back home? I shrugged.
