You're used to your mate Alistair going out to hunt at night. It's better for him to go at night when there's less chances of him being seen or caught doing anything. He's usually out very late, and may not come home until the early hours of the morning. You know he'll always come back before sunrise, so you don't worry too much about him. 

 On this particular night, you go to bed before Alistair comes home, knowing you'll see him in the morning. You expect everything to be fine, but soon isn't. 

 Around one in the morning, you suddenly open your eyes and sit up in bed. You blink, and you look around your bedroom. Yes, you are here, and everything's fine. You must have had nightmare, but you can't remember now what exactly the nightmare was about. You are fairly certain, however, that it was about someone dying. 

 Soon you hear Alistair return. You've been breathing heavily, trying to calm yourself down, and he must hear it since he comes straight to the bedroom. 

 "Y/N. I thought you would have been asleep by now," he says. "You looked scared. Did something happen while I was out?" 

 "It-it's probably nothing," you insist. "I think-no, I know I was having a bad dream. I just...can't remember." 

 Alistair sits down next to you on the bed and wraps his arms around you. "Whatever it is, it scared you. Do you remember anything at all?" 

 "Well...I remember it was very dark," you say slowly. "I think it was about death, someone dying." 

 "All right. Who do you think it was?" 

 "I don't know, but it must have been you or me. That's what makes the most sense. It scared me enough that as soon as my eyes were open, I jumped up to look around and make sure this is where I still was." You sigh. "It wasn't long before you got back. I was afraid to try going back to sleep." 

 "I understand," he says. "Well, tell you what: you try getting back to sleep, and I'll be here. I won't go anywhere for the rest of the night." 

 You lie down with Alistair's arms wrapped around you, and you feel better knowing that he's here with you. You soon fall asleep in his arms, knowing you'll be safe until the morning.
