Nox nodded, and walked out towards the market. A grin crossed his features when no one was around, and his posture relaxed. His stride shifted to a more content, peaceful walk.

Looks like this won't be irritating after all.

Two days later:

(Nightmare is in Nox's PoV)

'Hands clawed and scratched. Cackling echoed off of stone walls. Blood ran freely to the floor from cuts across my torso. My body hurts, muscles screaming in pain. I try, so hard to black out. But something keeps me there, something keeps me awake. I have no clue what it is, but...it hurts. So badly.'

'Day after day, I go through this. Barely given enough food and water to live, then brought out for more agony.'

'The knife digs deep again, carving more flame patterns into my skin. My voice is nonexistant from all the screaming, my mouth is dry. And then burning. '

'They've started to add the ink. A face comes in front of mine, hidiously scarred with a terrible. It was the same fucker who tried to take my brother from me years ago. I spit in his face with what little saliva I can muster.'

'His face contorts in anger, and the knife drives deep. A course scream finally wrenches from my throat. I can feel my pulse slowing, more blood spilling to the floor. Yelling, the sound of fist on flesh, and then it all fades to black...before being brought back for more pain.'

He snapped up, a wordless scream escaping him. He catches sight of black hair and blue eyes, stopping the knife aimed at her throat. Sitting up, he sighs, running a hand over his face. Why was he always having nightmares over that one week...

He didn't have a shirt on- sleeping at night with one causes the momentos of that week to burn and irritate. He shifted, and crosses his ankles, wrapping his arms around his knees. It was oddly vulnerable, especially for him.

"Nixia." Nox looked up at her, forgoing the usual mask. He just looked tired, and a bit saddened. "I'm guessing it's finished?"
