No room for Nightmares

She could hardly believe her ears or eyes when those rich tones filled the air between them, all of a sudden the air whooshed out of her lungs on a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a strangled cry. He closed the distance between them, then white-hot contact. When his nose touched hers, Atreyu felt a jolt of relief plunge through her heart and she finally released all those tears. "Oath..." It was all she could strangle out, her voice shaking and whimpering as she cried. Flinging her spotted forelimbs around her brother she pulled his slightly larger form into hers.

Finally, she took a shuddering breath, burying her face in the mauve man's spotted neck. "I feared you were a ghost..." She said, laughing and crying hysterically at the same time. Seeing him now, feeling him against her frame was the best feeling and it gave her hope that maybe more had survived the onslaught. "Have you seen anyone else? How did you get away? Are you injured?" The questions were rapid-fire, quickly worded between halted breaths as she tried to pull herself together. He was alive, that meant there was hope! Atreyu sniffled, pulling back to look into those neon blue eyes. He was really here!
