When I Wake Up

Reila didn't say anything as Chimera grabbed her and pulled her in. She didn't run, she didn't tense, she didn't tell him no. His calm and kind request was yes, heard as if he was a master. It was probably something Reila may not have ever grown out of. With her paws curled into her but not rejecting the feel of him around her in fact accepting it by finding her place there, everything she felt intimate towards Chimera was completely gone. If only for these few moments.

Her eyes went a little wild, looking between her paws and his chest and also completely away from him to the ground. Her breath started to get deep and shallow but she was holding it in as it was felt more through the movements of her body rather than heard. All of it didn't happen instantly but over the course of a few moments, and finally she was nearly trembling in Chimera's arms. It wasn't really the nightmares, but they played a part of this anxiety attack she was having. Chimera instructed her to go back to sleep but she couldn't. She wouldn't allow herself too. Thinking about hurting him was making her panic, but also thinking of not doing what she was told was a part of it too. Suddenly her whole life was rewound and all she wanted to do was be alone in her room. She would just stay here until it passed and wouldn't speak up, but she also wasn't going to go back to sleep afterwards. She'd go the whole night without it.
