Life-like Nightmare (Dougie)

[petra]

Petra walk down the steps that lead to the kitchen. She had woken up to another nightmare that she hadn’t had for ages. She’s been having them for the last week which sucks because she hasn’t had a decent night sleep. The nightmares were so life like. It was like she could hear her parent’s screams and they blood on her hands as she tried to help them. She wished she didn’t have those dreams because she always wakes up shaking and she was still shaking now.

She open the door to the kitchen and saw that the house elves where still working. They could tell that she had a nightmare so they just told her to sit down and they will get what she normally gets. She hated those nightmares. It was like she was still reliving that horrible day. She would have gone to her brother's dorm and sleep in his room but she didn’t know if the other Gryffindor will like the fact that a Slytherin was sleeping in they commons room.

“Stupid Gryffindors.” She said to herself a little bit too loud since the house elves jump at her outburst. “Sorry.” She said to them and they just smiled at her and went back to working.

Dougie panted as he woke up from his nightmare. He didn't need to feel his pillow to know he'd been crying. "Hey, mate, you OK?" His dormmate asked. He wondered if he knew he'd been crying.
"Fine. I'm feeling peckish though, I'm off to the kitchens." He shoved a longish shirt and his boxer shorts on, then set off.

Dougie smiled as he saw Petra enter five minutes after him.
"Hey," he mock-glared, "I'm not a stupid Gryffindor! I'm offended you'd think that, Petra!" His pretend glare turned into a cheeky yet charming and comforting smile.
"Hello, by the way." His magical grey eyes sparkeled at her.
"Cookie?" He offered his plate towards her, his grin still cheeky.
"So, darling, what are you doing down here? You can't have just felt like coming down here." His eyes lit up and he laughed, "I know! You saw me and followed the cute boy!" He laughed, his voice beatufil and said, "I'm joking."

[petra]

Petra roll her eyes at Dougie. “Then why didn’t I notice you?” She asked with a smirk. “And yall are and just because I’m a Slytherin doesn’t make me evil.” She said snapped and then realize what she was doing. “Sorry I didn’t mean to go off on its just that at the moment Gryffindors aren’t my favorite people at the moment.” She said apologetic.

“I’m here because I had another one of those nightmares.” There was a time when she first got to Hogwarts that she stayed in Asher dorms. The head master allowed her to stay since she woke up screaming. That’s when she met Dougie because he was Asher’s roommate.

“You are too conceited for you own good. I don’t see why girls think you and Asher are hot.” She said joking lightly but telling him the truth at the same time. She had to hear all the girls talking about them and how cute they were but she was the only who was immune to them. One reason was because Asher was her brother and the other was Dougie was her brother best friend. She never thought Dougie was cute and probably never will. “Asher is such a jerk and don’t get me started on you.” She teased.

“And thanks for the cookies.” She took the whole of plate and turn her back towards him so he wouldn’t be able to get some.

“Sorry I didn’t mean to go off on its just that at the moment Gryffindors aren’t my favorite people at the moment.”
“I’m here because I had another one of those nightmares.”
Dougie stopped joking. He'd had a life-like nightmare too. He pulled her into a hug. "Petra, are you Ok?" He looked into her eyes. "I had one too." he swallowed hard, trying hard not to cry, but a single tear escaped from his eyelids and pnto Petras hair. He felt embarresed as he'd never cried infront of Petra before, but also because she didn't know about his past.

“You are too conceited for you own good. I don’t see why girls think you and Asher are hot.”
"You're young, you'll learn .." he joked, grinning.
“Asher is such a jerk and don’t get me started on you.”
"I'm hurt!" He laughed. "But youre right, I don't know why girls think myself and Asher are hot." He shrugged.

“And thanks for the cookies.” Dougie grinned. He looked at the elves. "Please be prepared to catch somecookies." Then he began tickling her sides.
"I've got you!" He laughed

[petra]

Petra never saw Dougie cry so it shock her. “I’m okay it’s just those nightmare I had when I first came here. I think all the drama that’s been happening is messing me up.”She hugged back when he hug her. She wanted to ask what was his nightmare was but he switch conversations but she will ask him later.

“I think yall like knowing that yall hot.” She said. “but I don’t care because since I’m Asher sister that makes me hot too. So now I can flirt with all the guys I want and have flings just like yall.” She laugh a little.

Just as she was about to take a bite of a cookie. Dougie started tickling her. “No fair. You offer me those cookies” She said laughing and watching as all the cookies fall. “You made me drop all the cookies.” She said through some laughter.

[dougdougdoug]

“No fair. You offer me those cookies”
"No, I offered you one cookie!!" Dougie corrected her. "And what is wrong with eating off the floor!?" He joked. He picked up a cookie and bit into it.
"Yum ... tastes of cookie and ... cat ... hair ... Ew." He spat it back out, shuddering. "That's what's wrong about eating off the floor." he grimanced. "More cookies please!" he called to the willing elves. Dougie yawned. "And milk!" He started rambling on randomly about 'milk milk milky milk,' making no sense.

[petra]

"Gross." Petra made a face. "Remember why i date your species? She ask rolling her eyes. She really didn't know why girls like Dougie. "I need some friends that are girls." She said putting her hand to her forehead. She was starting to get dizzy and she blacking out. She haven't eaten in days and she barely had sleep. She couldn't even remember the last time she had water.

She could feel her grip on the table loosen and the last thing she remember was the cieling.

[dougdougdoug]

"Gross. Remember why I date your species?"
"No, I don't. Anyway, not all of us are nice like me!" he laughed. "Some are ... evil." He nodded seriously.
"I need some friends that are girls."
"I'll swap you a few - I have too many friends that are girls." Dougie sighed. "You girls are complicated, by the way."
Petra suddenly fainted. "For goodness sake, I ain't that gross!" Dougie muttered. There was silence as Dougie found a water jug. He muttered, "Agumenti," and the water filled to the brim with water.
"Petra, I'd get ready if I were you." He grinned devilishly. Then he chucked the jug over her face, making her totally soaked. He then ordered a glass of water and sat next to Petra, opening her mouth slightly. He poured a little jot into her mouth, hoping she'd wake up and swallow.

[asher]

Asher heard from some of the guys that Dougie woke up from another nightmare and heard he went to the kitchen. He lazily out on a t-shirt and pants on since he wasn’t the type of guy to walk in his boxers everywhere. He walk down to the kitchen and open the doors. The first thing he saw was his little sister on the floor and Dougie right beside her. "Dougie. What the hell." He ran next to his sister and saw the water. "Are you trying to kill her?" He turn her over so all the water can come out. He took off his sweater and put underneath Petra's head. He could see that Petra was in bad shape and it look like she haven’t been sleeping. “Dammit she’s having those nightmares again.” He said to himself.

"why are you both down here?" He ask. He look back at his friend and could tell something was wrong. “You know you can tell me about those nightmares you been having.”

[dougdougdoug]

"Dougie. What the hell." He ran next to his sister and saw the water. "Are you trying to kill her?"
Dougie, who wasn't in the best of moods, muttered, "No, dumbass, it's how you revive someone. Do you really think I'm a phsycopathic monster that would try and kill your sister?!"
“You know you can tell me about those nightmares you been having.”
"No. I can't." Muttered Dougie. "It'll change everything in my world." He zoned out, thinking back to the night. When he realised he should be helping, he looked a Petra, transmitting a thought from his own head to hers.
'Petra. It's Dougie. Your brother Ashers here. Please wake up?'
He spaced out again, this time in thought about mindreading. Why the hell had that power come back to him? He hated it. It wasn't pretty if someone provoked him, like Lilian found out. Sometimes he wished he was dead, or rid of it at least. He didn't want ot end up being hated.

[petra]

"I don't want to." Petra like being passed out. It mean that she didn't have to deal with reality. That sound perfect for her and since she haven't had a good night sleep it was nice. "If you don't get out of my mind Doug i will kill you." She thought. She really did need to learn how to hide her thoughts from people like Doug. She already had to live with a father who can read minds she didn't need her friend and her brother's best friend reading her mind. She didn't want them to know things that they shouldn't. "and beside i don't feel like seeing my brother so tell him to ignore me." She tried to shield all her most important thoughts. "You better get out now."

[asher]

"No" Asher mutter. "but dude you know you can tell me anything and i'm not trying to change this to a chick moment. but I’m here for you no matter what." He said patting Doug on the back. He looked back at Petra and sigh. "Just leave her be. She'll wake when she better or when she gets tired of sleeping." He said rolling his eyes.

Petra lived on drama and this was probably one of those moments. He did felt bad that he side with Brandon and not her but she needed to realize not to go to one guy to another. It was like she was asking to be called slut and he didn't want his sister label a slut.

[dougdougdoug]

"No I won't get out. Petra, who's hurt you? Because who ever has, I'm going to get them, they've made you withdrawn and hurt and it hurts me, it hurts Asher, can't oyu see that? And you can't kill me, not if you arte unconsious." Dougie thought back. "And you can kill me Petra, I'm as good as anyway, I don't deserve to be here."
"but dude you know you can tell me anything and i'm not trying to change this to a chick moment. but I’m here for you no matter what."
"You have no idea what I am capable of Asher." Dougie muttered darkly, "And no one knows, only Alyssa and a girl who forgot. I've not told you or Blay, and no offence but I intend to keep it that way." He sighed shaking his head.
"Just leave her be. She'll wake when she better or when she gets tired of sleeping."
"No, I'll revive her." Muttered Dougie.

[petra]

“No body hurt me Doug. Why can’t yall just stay out of my head.” Petra thought. “I never wanted any of this. So please just get out.” She thought desperately for him to listen to her. She was happy and didn’t want to come to reality. “I’m not going to kill you, stupid.” She didn’t want to be in drama anymore. She couldn’t handle the stress . She was tired and broken. “Everything is my fault so let me juat be broken and alone.” She thought. “see I should just died since I always end up hurting people and causing people pain.” She said going deeper into her thoughts. She could just hide there for a night. She was happier anyways.

[asher]

Asher just shrugg his shoulder. "You know what Doug. I'm just trying to be a friend and help you out." He said annoyed. "You think that you so bad but trust me you not. What ever your hiding won't make me think any less of you." He said sitting down. He will figure out what was making his best friend have nightmares.

"and Petra is fine." He said grabing one of her cookies and taking a bite. "Petra is strong. If she doesn't want our help we shouldn't help her. She's a Connor. She will be fine." He siad taking a sip of milk out of Petra's cup.
