don't make this a living nightmare

The fog of her memory fell over the terrifying dream as she slowly woke from the gripping terrors. The nightmare slipped away but the feelings that were brought with it remained within her heart. Holding her captive, her fears lingered in her heart even as Maverick woke her and held her tight. Tears streamed down her cheeks, part of her not even realizing the whole why of it. The fear that she would not be able to uphold this sacred duty.

Mav’s soft and comforting voice whispered into her ear gently, assuring her that she was safe. He acted as a rock and foundation that she clung to as the last bits of her dream dissipated. Venom took in a few deep breaths, she tried to calm herself, to forget the deeply buried fright as Maverick’s warmth and scent washed over her. His presence chased away the horrible memory. He kissed and soothed her, assuring her the dream was not real. She wanted to believe him but the feelings were true, even if the dream had not been. Was she faulty?

She inhaled sharply, gaining control of the tears as she clung to him. "Was it?” she questioned quietly, mostly to herself as her sunset eyes stared past Maverick’s dark sky fur. She couldn’t be sure her fear wasn’t the truth.
