Bearclaw Valley Sleep with one eye open, clutching your pillow tight

@Dakarai night night time! Set after this thread!

Finding a small place where they could rest wasn't difficult, and as she sat down on her haunches that night, she felt her eyelids grow heavy, but she fought sleep hard, knowing the nightmares were on the other side of the flimsy wall she had put up. Several times she jerked her head awake, and several times she succeeded, but at last, her muscles could no longer hold up her aching body, and she laid down, curling into a ball, her breathing evening out. Her last thought was Dakarai's reaction to her odd actions and hoping he wouldn't leave her side. Rising and falling, her chest was the only thing moving as she took a deep breath and let it out, finally sinking into oblivion.
