Nightmares?

[Nox]

Nox laid down with Elyse still in his arms. He knew sleeping after a nightmare was not an easy thing. He remembered the nightmares he'd had when he first started hunting. It was his brains way of processsing the bullshit in his life. It always had been. His mother used to hold him close and hum a little tune.

Nox didn't know the words, but he knew the tune. He'd hummed it to himself on many occassions while trying to calm down from his own nightmares. He started humming softly in her ear as he held her close. He'd had a busy night but he pulled Elyse closer and hummed the comforting song.

The notes faded off as he drifted off into his own hellish darkness...
