It was probably a little past three in the morning when
you jolted awake. You laid with your eyes staring at the ceiling and your heart
beat racing within your chest. You tried to move your arms and legs but you
couldn’t shift a muscle. You wanted to call out for someone, anyone but couldn’t.
You tried to breathe and remember you were fine, everything was okay, but your
body was refusing to listen to your brain.
Although this paralysis did not happen too frequently,
when it did occur, you felt yourself wishing for them to wash away as quickly
as they arose. You wanted power over
your body, but you received the exact opposite.
You could feel yourself gradually calming down and slowly
began moving your fingers; moving them up and down to stimulate some sort of progress.
Soon you were moving one of your arms back and forth across the mattress and
could move your feet to their sides as well.
In the middle of your actions, you felt a hand place
itself over yours. Able to turn your head, you glanced over to see a pair of
amber eyes looking at you. Ardyn lay there with a solemn expression, making it
clear he had surveyed your entire episode.
“I-I’m sorry if I woke you,” you croaked, your voice
still not completely within your control.
“It’s quite all right darling,” he whispered, bringing
his hand up to your face and sweeping a bit of hair out of your eyes, “Do you
want to talk about it?”
You shook your head, “It was just a nightmare. I guess a
little more intense than normal, but I don’t even remember what it was about
now.” Slowly, you managed to sit yourself up, running your hands over your head
and breathing in slow. You felt movement on the mattress and soon a hand on you
as well. Ardyn stroked your back and kissed the side of your head, whispering sweet
words in your ears in order to distract your panicked mind.
“Come here,” he spoke softly, pulling you to him. You
laid down next to him, his arms wrapped around you and your head buried into
his chest. You felt safe, you felt warm, and you felt calm. He continued to rub
your back and whisper words to you.
“You’re not alone.
I’m right here,” he murmured, as he kissed the top of your head.
Your eyes closed and you allowed his words to enter your
head; his voice filling your ears and mind while bringing peace to your frightened
soul.
[First time writing anything Ardyn so I am sorry if it is just not the best. But practice makes perfect right? Guess I’ll just have to write more lol. But since you love Ardyn, if you haven’t checked out her page, @glaive-eve writes Ardyn really well!]
