Avery suddenly woke up.
She was woken up by Elliot.
Elliot had suddenly let out a sound that was halfway between an angry bellow and a desperate sob.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe heard it even clearer when she woke up.
"Elliot... Did you have a nightmare?" Avery sat up and raised her hand to switch on the lights in the room.
All she saw was Elliot, covered in sweat, and with a frightful expression on his face.
"Elliot!" Avery's voice grew even louder as she tried to wake him from his nightmare. "Elliot, wake up!" Her voice pulled Elliot back to reality from the dream.
Elliot opened his eyes, tears clearly forming at their corners.
"Elliot, did you have a nightmare? What did you dream of?" Avery reached out her hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Do you want swater? I'll go get you water." Elliot immediately grabbed her arm and did not let her get out of bed.
"Avery, I dreamed that I went to Hightide Chapel. It wasn't a nightmare... It was just a little bizarre." He looked at Avery's face, his breathing slightly heavy, as though he was not fully out of the dream yet. "At the start of the dream, I was climbing the mountain. I don't know who told me, but I was told that Ivy was on the mountaintop. So, I climbed the mountain with all my might... When I got to the top..." "You saw Ivy?" Avery saw that he was slightly worked up, so she reached out to pat his back.
Elliot nodded. "Avery, I saw Ivy. At least, I think she was Ivy. Because, after I shouted for Ivy, she appeared. If you hadn't wokenup, I would have asked her if she was Ivy." Avery could not help but laugh. "Are you blamingfor waking you up? Do you know your body was shaking, you were sweating profusely, and you even let out sstrange growl? I was scared silly. I thought you were having a nightmare. It was after I called out to you a few times that you woke up." Elliot said in surprise, "Maybe I was too excited.""Hmm... You saw Ivy in your dream. What does Ivy look like? Does she look very much like Layla?" Avery was extremely interested in his answer. "Actually, I've dreamed of Ivy as well, but, in my dream, y didn't have a face because I've never seen her in real life. I can't imagine what she actually looks like." Elliot pursed his lips. His throat was a little dry. "Avery, my throat hurts a little. I'll drink swater first." "Just sit tight! I'll bring it to you." Avery pinned him down and then quickly got out of bed to get a cup of water. "Elliot, drink it slowly. It's a little hot." Elliot drank the entire cup of water in one deep gulp and put the cup on the nightstand.

I actually looked slightly different as a child. When I was a child, the lines of my face were gentler, and I looked more well-behaved..." Hahaha! Everybody looks very cute is a child! People who look erocious now should also have Deen very adorable when they were children! All children are angels. Nobody's born evil. It's all caused by he environment and experiences eople encounter after being born... Where do you keep the photo albums? I want to see photos of you vhen you were a child." Avery was o longer sleepy. Content belongs tc >wElliot got out of bed and went to the study to look for the photo albums.
Avery followed him.
"Avery, what's the tnow?" After Elliot brought out the photo album, he glanced at the sky through the window.
It was still pitch black outside, so he could not tell the tat all.
"I didn't look at the time, but I'm guessing it's about three or four in the morning! After Avery took the photo album from him, she took his arm and guided him back to the bedroom. "If you're still sleepy, Just go back to sleep. I'll take a look at the photo album for a while. I need to lie down for a little longer. My legs are still sore from climbing the mountain for the past few days." "That shows you're not exercising regularly enough." "You've not exercised for a long tas well, have you? My body is certainly better than yours now." "Then can I start exercising tomorrow?" "No." Avery said without hesitation.
"Then don't laugh at me," Elliot said helplessly. "Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm useless."
