☪ Nightmares | Areum & Minjun
a starter for @minjunfey
The nightmares always were the same, always of that one haunting night in which Areum would never forget no matter how much time went by. It was a memory that would always haunt her no matter how hard she tried to forget. She’s there watching as her family is taken from her, running with her younger sibling into the dark woods and placing the young child down in a ‘safe’ place until she can return. The darkness surrounds her at that moment and she’s then staring at the three vague figures there, two adults and one child. She tries reaching for them, tries to call out to them, however no sound comes from her and her body seems to always defy her and won’t move.
The figures then disappear and she’s back in the village, calling out for her mother then the pain hits once again. The sword piercing through her just like it had that dark night, even in her dreams (well in this case her nightmare) she can still feel the pain and this is where her nightmare always seems to end, it’s as far as she gets before finally she wakes up each and every time.
Areum jolts up out of her sleep, breathing heavily and sits straight up where she’s lying in bed. She’s broke out in a cold sweat and holding her head as she tries to calm herself. She doesn’t even really think of the fact that she’s not actually in her own home at the moment, instead she’s in someone else’s home. This is the last thing on her mind though as she sits there. She can’t remember the last time she had a good sleep, these nightmares constantly being the enemy of hers that seems to always get in the way of her having a peaceful night. Areum doesn’t even remember at that moment that there’s actually someone in bed with her, someone she seemed to always come to when she needed a little ‘excitement’ for one night.
