My heart warms at the comment because I am undoubtedly and irrevocably wrapped around her little finger. Her voice whispers just as she falls asleep. He is my protector who can chase all of the bad away. Even though I haven't known him for that long, I know that he is telling the truth. He hums softly into my hair as my breaths once again even out. "Every time there is thunder or a storm, I will protect you." I think I feel safer in Silas's arms than I have in my entire life. ![]() "Aggele mou, that will never happen to you again," Silas declares. He holds me tights and rocks me back and forth until I'm able to calm back down. The tears falling again as a sob breaks free. The storm was so loud, everything was loud. "Aggele mou?" I take a deep breath, breathing in his ocean scent. You have shelter now but you are still afraid." I shake my head pushing back the images that always come when I hear thunder. ![]() It's more than just a fear of having no shelter. ![]() How could he possibly have guessed that? "You're still shaking every time there is thunder. "Yeah, but that's not the only reason is it?" I freeze. It was always so loud and bright outside. "Why are you scared of the storm, Aggele mou?" Silas asks. I feel better now about this house but it doesn't stop the anxiety completely. If you were outside you might need to be worried but inside you are safe, okay Aggele mou?" I nod into his chest again. We built this place ourselves so I know how strong it is. "I know it is loud but the thunderstorm cannot harm you in this house. He chuckles a little before holding me tighter. "Aggele mou, you know you can always come to me or any of the others if you're scared or nervous." I nod snuggling back into his chest. I nod sniffling a little as I wipe my cheeks. He pulls me away from him slightly so that we can see each other. I can still hear the thunder going on in the background but it's like Silas has transported me to another world. Nothing's going to harm you here." Slowly my breaths even out as he continues to whisper reassurances to me. I'm so small compared to him, it feels like he is a shield keeping all the bad things away. He pulls me onto his lap and hugs me tightly. "Aggele mou, it's okay,' he states before wrapping his arms around my small body. I jerk my head up, coming face to face with Silas. Why is this happening? I start to see black spots when suddenly a large, warm hands touches my shoulder. "Aggele mou?" the voice calls out closer. "Aggele mou?" I hear a soft voice call out. Why does it have to be so loud? Tears run down my face and quiet sobs escape even as I try to hold them back. I curl up into myself trying to calm the raging storm of fear that is building. Is the house stable enough for this? Do I need to wake the others?Īt these thoughts I try to stand but the trembling of my body has me falling back down. I whimper as the house shakes again due to the loud noise. I dart forward and dive under the table just in time. Another flash of light shines through all of the windows. I dash into the living room, the sound of the rain clearer. ![]() Another loud boom sounds, this time closer shaking the entire house. I feel my body start to tremble and can do nothing to stop it. I jump up trying to unwrap myself from the unrelenting covers as quickly as possible. Suddenly a flash of light illuminates the room.
