Pan opened her eyes, her breathing unsteady. She stayed still for a moment, letting her breath steady slowly. It was cool in her room, under an intricately woven leaf roof which kept off the heavy rain. A light snore came from beside her, and she smiled, soothed by the presence of her companion. Ruben was sleeping soundly, which she deemed lucky since it meant he never woke before her and saw her suffering from her night terrors.
Pan's past was a dark one, and one not easily forgotten. Though she refused to let it rule her everyday life, conquering her fears triggered by an event never spoken of, it overthrew her at night and reigned terror through her uneasy slumber, and in the morning she'd have to steel herself as her fears returned. But ever since Ruben had come into her life, she hadn't been so scared.
Ruben stirred, blinking awake, and Pan petted his head gently.
"Rise and shine." She whispered softly. He grumbled something and buried back into the covers, while she got up to start cooking their breakfast.
