Raven's Watch we're terrified of what's around the corner

He approached her, and instead of flinching back from him or baring her teeth, she just sat there quietly. The warmth of his body next to her own was a comfort. Tavi couldn't help but wonder why he aided her at all but she was much too tired to ask. Instead of speak, she slouched sideways and let her wounds press in to his caramel fur, bothered briefly by the stinging sensation in her flesh as it was poked or pulled; but eventually she was settled, and they would both wait out the night.

Tavi's head nodded as she drifted off to sleep, though it took a few tries before she was fully imbibed with slumber. The slightest sound made her startle awake, her nose tipping up as she sucked in a hasty breath. Her eyes never opened wider than halfway, then slits, then at all - and she dozed completely.

In her sleep, she thought she was still running -- the sand was sifting under her, sliding in clumps beneath her frenzied paws, but she never moved too far. She could feel teeth set in to her skin. It was like they were always there, ready to take a piece, to bite and tear and pull her apart. The sensation wasn't painful. It wasn't anything. And when she looked back at her attackers - expecting to see the dark faced woman or the white wolf of the coast - she only saw the familiar face of Reek; many faces, with many teeth, reaching to take everything from her. And she would run and slip across the sand until the sand itself gave way, becoming a great black pit, with only darkness around her and the many eyes of her partner dotting the world like stars ---

She jolted awake then, not knowing how long she had slept; but it was not a proper sleep at all, and Tavi was left more exhausted upon waking than before.
