You were running as fast you could. Your lungs slowly running out of oxygen. All you could see are trees and bushes.
Your eyes we jumping from one side to other, trying to find a place to hide in. But you couldn't find anything, not even a tree that was thick enough to hide you.
You could hear a load maniacal laugh, sounds of heavy boots running following the voice.
You could feel your heart going even faster. You need to run faster. You just wanted to be away from the person chasing you.
You could hear the footsteps getting near you. "No no no.." was all you could say, repeating it over and over.
Suddenly, hand grabbed your wrist, tugging you back. You were able to turn your head, seeing the person swinging their axe at you.
You shot up from your sleep. You weren't able to catch your breath for few seconds. Cold sweet dripping from your body.
You felt sick. Moving your hand onto your chest, you could feel your heart still beating fast.
Turning your head, you looked around your room. You could see pretty clearly, moonlight shining through your window, lighting up the room.
Still feeling uneasy, you got up from your bed. You decided that, maybe drinking some water would help.
You quietly walked downstairs, heading to the kitchen. On your trip to the kitchen, you didn't forget to look around you, observing even the smallest cracks in the floor of the Ragnvindr mansion.
You felt goosebumps appear on your skin. You didn't like that you were walking around in the dark throughout this big mansion.
Finally, arriving to the kitchen, you were able to get some cold water into you. You drank two glasses of cold water, discovering that you were actually really thirsty after one sip of water.
You put the glass into a sink, turning around on your heal and walking out of the kitchen.
You still didn't feel safe in the mansion, all alone. You felt like someone is going to attack you at any second.
You quickly, yet still silently, ran up the stairs. You looked at doors at the end of the hallway. Your dad's bedroom.
Maybe, you can ask him if you could sleep next to him? He surely wouldn't mind, right? Yeah..
Bitting into your cheek, you started walking towards the door. You didn't want to wake him up, but you were scared.
You slowly opened the door, walking in. You could see your dad, Diluc Ragnvindr, sleeping. The moonlight made his red hair look like a fire.
You closed the wooden doors. You moved next to the bed Diluc was sleeping on. You were staring at him before poking his shoulder.
"Dad?" you ask as an attempt to wake him up. The attempt was successful as Diluc moved before slowly opening his eyes.
"Y/n..?" he let out, his voice being raspy and sleepy. You felt little bad for waking him up.
"Um, I had a nightmare.. could I sleep in your bed?" you asked, shifting you gaze from him to your feet.
"Oh.. yeah, sure. Come here." he said, shifting back, lifting the duvet he was covered with. You quickly lay down.
You hugged him, putting your forehead against his chest. Diluc put the duvet on top of you two, his arms hugging you.
"It's okay, no need to be scared.." he whispered, moving his hand to your head and started playing with your hair.
You felt way more safer now. Your eyes getting heavier by the second. Letting yourself relax, you could feel like you were going to pass out any second.
Diluc kissed your forehead with words, "Goodnight, Y/n".
You let out weak, "Goodnight, dad.."
Soon enough dozing off to sleep.
