5. Your character walking in on mine waking from a nightmare. || Accepting
They were gone. They were all gone. Miller’s lifeless body was lying a few feet away, Bellamy’s was against a tree, Harper’s was across a rock… and more and more, they were everywhere. All of them were gone, and he was the only one left. He was all alone, and then he heard the sound of horses, and he knew, he knew that he wasn’t going to last long, that–
The sound of a door opening was enough to startle and pull the boy out of his nightmare. He shot up in bed, his shirt clinging to him where he was soaked in sweat, tangled up in the covers. Breathing hard, he glanced around, trying to ground himself back to reality and figure out what was going on. Nate wasn’t there, so he was assuming that he’d already left for guard duty, knowing that he’d had a shift that night.
He glanced at the door, and tried to put a sheepish smile on his face at seeing Clarke. “Hey,” His voice was shaky and his hands were shaking even worse, but he pushed the covers off of him and swung his legs over the side of the bed to sit up more. He swallowed thickly, trying to calm his heart from how hard it was pounding in his chest, and to play off the fact that Clarke had clearly just walked in on him waking up from some nightmare.
“Everything alright out there? You need me up? I can get my jacket and stuff on really quick,” He added after a pause, wanting to be productive. That and part of him needed to get up and check on the others as well; just to be absolutely sure his nightmare hadn’t been real, and to see that they were alright and safe.
