~~~~Kagekao

  I woke up that morning. I saw ES thrashing around in her bed, holding her stomach and whispering names. (Yes the last chapter was a dream chapter.)
  I walked over to her and shook her a bit. "Doll? Manami? Wake up."
  She shot up with a small scream. She looked around frantically, then made eye contact with me. She let out a sigh and wrapped her arms around me. "It was just a dream."
  "Is everything ok?" I asked.
  She nodded as her head rested on my chest.
  I was a bit worried about her, lately she's been having a lot of nightmares even if she doesn't want to admit it.
  "Is there something going on that I don't know about?" I asked her.
  She looked up at me. "...yes. I don't want to talk about it. My dad told me not to talk about it to anyone. He said he has it under control."
  "Do you want to go talk to him about it?" I asked her as she stood up straight and wrapped her arms around my neck.
  "Yes please." She nodded, still clinging to me.
  "Was your nightmare that bad?" I asked as I held onto her upper back.
  "Yeah. The nightmares are getting worse." She said holding onto me tightly, standing on her toes.
  I sighed and lifted her legs so that they were around my waist and I straddled her like a kid. "Don't worry, I'm here. Hopefully, once you talk with your dad, that stress of whatever is going on will fade away and the nightmares will fade as well."
  Her face went a bit red. "Yeah. Hopefully."
  "Let's get you downstairs." I whispered as I turned my head toward her.
  She nodded and rested her head on my shoulder.
  I smiled a bit and carried her downstairs as I hear her sleepily groan as I walk downstairs.
  "Is ES ok?" I heard Painter asked as I passed by.
  "Yeah. She just needs to talk with her dad." I nodded and walked down to the basement.
  I walked to her dad's room and set her down, not wanting her dad to get upset at me. I knocked on the door as ES clung to my arm. She seemed nervous and scared, like a little kid.
  "Yes?" EJ asked as he answered the door.
  "ES is having some nightmares about something you guys have been stressing about, she has requested to talk with you." I said as I looked down at Manami.
  EJ had nodded. "Come on in baby girl. Kagekao, if you don't mind, this is a private matter."
  I nodded and watched as Manami stepped into her father's room, holding his hand. EJ seemed nervous about this talk as well. I could tell that he was sweating as well. How bad could this be? Hopefully, whatever they are talking about isn't that bad.
