Again, Eric had horrible nightmares, and fidgeted in his sleep. Lukas slept quite peacefully compared to his brother. He awoke with and small shout, panting. "Wha-? Oh.." He knew he wouldn't get anymore sleep, as it was right past noon and very bright outside. The weather had cleared up nicely, thank goodness. He stood up, careful not to wake the others, and sat on the edge of the cave opening next to Galadrial. there was a few moments of silence before Eric pierced the air with a question. "Hey, Gabby? You ever have these just, horrible nightmares..?"

Savanna had left the cave to try to escape from the prison the boys created in her head with their dreams. screams, shouts, cries, fire, mourning, grief, horror and anger always seemed to be present in the heads of those two young boys. Not even to mention that one of them had similar mental abilities. she returned to see Galadriel and Eric at the mouth of the cave. she walked right past them and placed in Eric's sleeping area, a book on lost myths. It looked like this....



after placing the book down, she curled up in the back of the cave, silently. She did not get sleep, she was seeing the dreams of Eric and Lukas play in her head over and over again, unable to push it away.

She does Savanna said telepathically.

Get out of my head, I have enough problems. He thought savagely. She noticed his voice was different than his normal voice, as if it was in pain. Seriously, I don't want you in here!

I dont want to be in your head either! Do you really think I do it willingly? Hear your depressing thoughts 24/7... My dad gave me up because of it! I understand you are in pain, and I can even say I understand your pain, but please stop acting like I am torturing you! she answered, trying to contain her emotions, holding back her yells and cries.

He paused for a moment. Ok, I'm sorry. Ok? I'm sorry for scolding you when we started, for snapping at you, and now. Ok? That what you want to hear? My brother just came out of the blue. Do you understand I don't have either of my parents? Either of them? I killed them! I KILLED MY PARENTS! They said I killed Lukas to! I burnt my entire house down. They DRAGGED me to that hell hole, that- that PRISON! And my head constantly hurts, and I have these horrible nightmares where I relive every SINGLE bad thing that's ever happened to me, and I fall, and I see flames-! And I'm constantly thinking of ways to die! I'm seriously screwed up! I am literally the single most screwed up person I know! My life sucks! And yes, I am depressed! And yes, I scold myself for every mistake I make! IT'S HORRIBLE! And if you think you have it worse than me, take a look! I'm living in a hell I keep digging deeper every damn day! I suck! My life sucks! My dreams suck! My thoughts suck! This whole THING sucks! Eric ranted in his head, not carrying if Savana broke into tears. He needed to say this, or it felt like he would explode. I'm a danger to every freaking thing on this trip! And where are we going to go? To our homes? I don't have one! I'm now a wanted runaway from a MENTAL HOSPITAL! I have nowhere to go! I just- I just wish I could die! Eric had turned away from her, staring at the forest below. He had started to cry, and didn't want anyone seeing. The forest was beautiful, which seemed mocking.

she took a deep and long breath. she thought to herself... I never not once said I had it worse than you, and I did mot ask to be forgiven. Forgiven is the last thing I deserve to be called. If you died, I would blame myself. Would it help if you could see or at least hear them again? Your family? she wanted to hug him and tell him it was ok, but it wasnt, and he probably hated her right now, so she turned to face him and nothing more.

He was silently crying, staring out at the forest. He didn't think anything, refusing to let Savana in his head again. He just thought simply. No. And if they're here, make them go away. I have nothing to do with them anymore. They're dead.

she got up and sat on her knees. She got next to him and put a hand n his shoulder. "I know you don't really like me, as I see what you truly think about me, but I still want to let you know you are not alone." She said outloud, but quietly as not to wake Ricky, Lukas, Galadriel and Lisian. she paused then added, "Your brother is adorable, I want to pinch his little cheeks!"
