Chapter four:
------------------Slowly bringing myself off of the bed, trying my hardest to not wake the little sleeping angel beside me. Smiling softly at her little hands clutching around my wrist.
The smile on my face falls quickly after remembering the extremely chilling dream. I still feel the petrified mood that overcame my entire being.
For once, I couldn't tell if what I dreamt was real. If it would matter later on in the competition? Either way, I know that even if I don't need it now, it will probably be of help later on.
With that fact in mind, I'm slowly making me progress with taking off Hwasa's seemingly, iron grip. She lets go suddenly, blinking slowly up at me.
"Seokie? Where are you goin'?" She sleepily asks me while rubbing her tiny fists at her large brown eyes. I hold myself back from cooing at just how adorable she is being while being tired.
I bring up on if my callused hands to rub the sleepiness out of her eyes, "Wasa, I'm going to head into the balcony to look at the stars, you should go back to bed." I gently lift my heavy body from the bed, while she shakes her head rapidly.
"Don't leave me!"
I turn abruptly towards her after those words. Softly smiling at the genuine terror she had of me leaving her. The grave seriousness I felt while I heard the worry laced in her simple words.
I softly smile at her with all of the care and love I could muster, "Wasa, I'm not going to leave you, I'm only going to go a few feet to the balcony. Not far."
She pouts while crossing her arms, "no! I want to stay with you."I laugh at how silly she seems, till the smile falls flat off my face, realizing just how much trust has been broken for her. Why would it matter so much if I went out of her sight? Shaking my head again, I scoop her up in my arms, cradling her with gentle hands and graceful movements.
As I gently sway us side to side, she places her little head full of short red hair on my shoulder. I place the other hand that wasn't holding her up on her head, softly messing the strands of hair.
"Wasa, I'm going to tell you some important things, but you need to not even think about telling another soul."
She brings her full attention onto my face, nodding solidly.I sigh once more while looking away from her determined face. "I had a dream, and it gave me hints of possible events that could happen." She looks a bit more confused,
"Dream? What's that got to do with is now?"
I laugh at her little lisp coming out again, turning to look back at the stars.
"I'm not going to say everything that happened, mainly because it wasn't extremely useful in what we may need." She giggles at me while bring her hands up to cover her mouth."The main premise of the Dream was a bunch theories of what our competition could be. Like where these 'Hunger Games' are going to take place." I use heavy quotation marks on that sentence. Mumbling soon after, "even though these games seem more like death traps."
She giggles again, "we know that they're death traps, but then again what can we do to change what's already been put in place?" I look bewildered at Wasa, seeing all of the thought that her little ten year old self has put into this.
"We can't really do anything, but what we can do is be prepared. And whatever that means, we have to be able to help each other."
I can't help but grin at the wise thinking this ten year old hides. I nuzzle my nose into her head, sighing deeply.
"Of course, Wasa. Always."
She pulls away with a big toothy grin, pulling up her hands to squish my cheeks together. "Hhhhooobbbiii," she says dragging out every letter, "you need to keep that bright smile on your face. It almost gives me hope that we'll make it out of here." My smile falters.
Does she think I can't protect her?
No, what am I thinking?! She already relays on me so much that there's no way in hell that she thinks I'm not able to protect her.
I shake my head, placing another blinding smile, right smack dab in the middle of my face. "Now, young missy. It's time for you to go to bed now." I place her down and put my hands on my hips. "We've got a big day tomorrow and we don't know what is in store for us. All we can do is prepare our minds with a good sleep."
She looks at me, suddenly more tired now that I've mentioned sleep. She turns to me and makes grabby hands, which is by far the cutest thing I've seen in almost my entire life. I pick her up again, even though she'd been in my arms not even two minutes ago.
"Up you go, Wasa. Now," I look at her sternly, even when she's falling back asleep in my arms, "you can sleep now, I promise I won't leave you." I try to emphasize the word promise, although it doesn't really matter anymore because she's already deep in sleep.
I make it back into my room, ours now, and lightly place the sleeping angel back onto her side of the king size bed. I had a surprisingly easier time getting her to let go of my neck this time.
I set myself nicely on the made up bed, taking little Hwasa into my arms, gently placing little shapes on her back with my hands, lulling her into a deeper sleep. I close my eyes, trying to actually get some sleep, feeling the gentle breathing of Hwasa on my shoulder. As I'm trying to focus on ideas of where we could be getting shipped off to tomorrow, the temptation of sleep becomes too much and I drift into a much more calm sleep.

Mmmmaaaaaann, I had such a hard time writing this chapter! It took me almost three movies and seven hours and a lot of sleep to get it done. But I'm trying to be diligent and post a chapter everyday, so I hope you guys enjoyed this! Please feel free to comment what your theories are! And yes, you can probably guess, Jimin, Jin, and another person from Bangtan (can't decide yet) will be introduced in the next two-ish chapters!
