"I lived a sheltered life away from others," Moki told her. "I never got to know people. They called me weak because of my knees and said I wasn't worth being around because of that. My whole life I spent searching for the person who would be by my side forever."

"Well... If it's okay with you... I.. Well, i'd like to be that person" Ebony said still facing the window. She dare not look at Moki incase he laughed at her. She felt a funny sensation in her stomach. Nerves!

Moki blushed even deeper. "Um... that would be... absolutely... great!"

Ebony smiled from ear to ear. This was good to hear. She turned to face Moki and tried to wipe the goofy smile off her face. She wanted to hold him so tight. But felt it better to leave him to make the first move. After all, if she did, she would probably suffocate him. And she did not want that.

Moki hugged Ebony once again. He hoped sooner or later he'd get over this weak side and show Ebony exactly how he felt about her.

Ebony smiled once more into his shoulder. She was so tired and all she wanted to do was sleep. "Do you mind if I go to be? I'm very tired" She questiond Moki. He was so sweet and she cared for him so much. hopefully he would rest to. He looked even mre exhausted that before.

"Yeah, good idea," Moki said, letting her go. He needed sleep badly, he was on the verge of collapsing.

Ebony Sat On The Bed. She Unfolded The Crisp Sheets And Climbled In. It Was Not The Most Comfortable Bed In The World. But It Was A Bed.
"Goodnight" Ebony Whispered.

"Good night," Moki said. He fell back into the wall. He was seriously on the verge of collasping even more.

Ebony Saw Moki Fall. She Stood And Walked Over To Him. She Helped Him Up And Then Walked Him Over To The Bed. "You Sleep Here Tonight. You Need It More Than I Do" Ebony Grabbed A Pillow From The Bed And Walked Over To The Chair In The Corner Of The Room. She Put The Pillows On The Chair And Got Herself Comfortable. She Closed Her Eyes And Drifted Into A Very Desturbed Sleep.

Moki fell asleep quickly, but it seemed as though it was for only a second. He woke up the next morning aching all over

Ebony Was Dreaming. She Felt Cold. What Was Happening? In Her Dream There Was A Man. She Was Running From Him. Moki Was By Her Side. He Was Helping Her To Run, But Then He Turned Into A Demon. Ebony Was Drifting Further And Further Iinto Sleep. This Was Not Good. If She Went To Deap Into Her Dream She May Never Wake Up. Her Mother Had Always Been There To Wake Her Once She Started Yelling, But No One Could Help Her Now.

Moki jumped, he heard something from Ebony. He got of the bed and ran over to the chair. "Ebony!" he began shaking her, "Ebony? Wake up!" He was scared she was dreaming something horrible.

In Her Dream Ebony Could Feel Something Shaknig Her. She Tried To Open Her Eyes But She Couldnt. What Was Happening?

Moki continued to shake her. "Ebony, please, wake up!"

Finally, Ebony's Mind Kicked In And She Awoke Screaming From Her Deep Sleep.
"Sleepin Was A Bad Idea. I Kill Myself In My Sleep. That Could Have Been Fatal" Ebony Began To Cry. "I'm Sorry If I Scared You"

"I was scared to death, but it doesn't matter, at least you are all right," Moki said hugging her.

Ebony Burried Her Face Into Moki's Shoulder When He Hugged Her. She Smiled Seacretly To Herself. It Was Nice To Be Held By Someone Who Loved Her.

"Will you be okay Ebony?" Moki asked.

"I.. I'll Be Fine. I Just Need To Calm Down. I Think You Should Go Back To Sleep" She Smiled As Honestly As She Could.

"I've got all the sleep I need for now," Moki told her. He honestly didn't want to go back to sleep, he had also been having nightmares.

Ebony Smiled. She Wanted So Much To Go Home And Introduce Moki To Her Mother. But She Had A Satbbing Pain In Her Stomach That She Would Never Get Home Again.

Moki sat on the bed, contemplating. "So, uh... what do we do now?" he asked.

"I Have No Idea. I Think We Should Wait Until It's Light Outside Before We Try And Go Anywere" She Smiled. Anything Could Happen If They Went Back Out In The Dark.

"Very true," Moki said. He wondered how long they would have to wait until the darkness evaporated. "It can't be to far until morning, can it?"
