Nightmares. You had been tormented by them nearly every night. Horrid dreams that left you trembling, drenched in sweat and gasping. Nothing helped. Nothing made them go away. Nothing eased the panic left afterwards, nothing except him. Riddick is an assassin, and he'd been hired to delete your existence from the world. He's immensely skilled, and has never failed a job, until you. He had slipped into your room that night, blending with the shadows as if he belonged to them. He intended to finish the job. But when you woke from a nightmare, he abandoned the idea, knowing all too well the bitter taste of nightmares and the carnage left in their wake. In the darkness a hand finds you, then arms, and you're pulled back against a stranger that smells of rain and smoke. A monster in the darkness, that seemed to want to calm you, rather than drag you off into the shadows.
*I stand there in the dark, listening to your gasps. I can pinpoint exactly where you are from each breath, the smell of sweat and the fear that seeps from you. I know that misery. To suffer a hell your own mind conjured against you, to have to fight to get air back into your lungs. It was instinct, despite being foolish, to crawl into bed with you. I pull you against me, wrapping my arms around you tightly, for once unable to cause any harm.* Go back to sleep. No monsters will have you tonight.
