Forrest Day Sleepwalk Novels & Stories

Chapter 20 There are days my pain is so elaborate... that the salt of my tears tastes not of my own but like that of my ancestors — and the women who dealt with this sorrow before me. — Segovia Amil My Sleepwalking started eighteen months after my child was killed. The first time it happened, I’d fallen asleep in the minister's bedroom and woken on the staircase landing, between his floor and mine. It wasn’t yet dawn when I woke up, so I’d quickly made my way to my bedroom, to make it look like I’d decided to leave him early.

Calla Sleep came easier than expected after breaking down in Axel's arms. His presence wrapped around me like a warm blanket, blocking out the emotional noise that had been drowning me all day. For the first time since the forest massacre, I felt safe enough to let my guard down completely. But...of course, the universe had other plans. The familiar tug of a dreamwalk dragged me under just as I was finding peace. I groaned internally as consciousness shifted, my soul separating from my sleeping body.

I greeted a few colleagues passing by as I stood nervously in the parking lot, waiting for Mr. Sturm to arrive. I patted a few specks of dust that are gathered on my dress again for the umpteenth time. My nerves were getting the best of me. And apart from the raw excitement of seeing Mr. Sturm, I could pinpoint the other reason was due to lack of sleep. Four hours of shut-eye was simply not enough for me, nor could it be for anyone else. This morning, as I made coffee, I logged on to F******k; hopeful to see my Sky Walker online. After waiting a good thirty minutes without seeing the green active dot on his profile, I gave up.

I was never one to sleepwalk. How was I able to get past the guards stationed outside the door, go unnoticed through the castle exits, and end up alone in this forest? Something was wrong. First, it was that strange dream, and now I was sleepwalking. The wind was as harsh as it was in my dream. I glanced around, trying to locate an exit from my current spot. I took a step forward and the earth squished under my feet. A hum travelled through the night and my ears perked. Hoping I was heading in the right direction, I walked faster.

Sleep had become a stranger. By Tuesday morning, Elora had stopped pretending she was fine. Three nights of dreams that were not dreams had hollowed her out from the inside—turning rest into a battlefield she couldn’t escape. Saturday night had been the first shift. The forest had darkened, shadows lengthening where moonlight should have been. A whisper she couldn’t place. A presence watching her.

Breanna hated taking naps in the afternoon anyway, it always left an unpleasant head ache afterwards. Shuffling to her feet, she walked over to pull it close, when she heard a silent shutter sound. Thinking the sound was from her neighbors, she fixed the lock and tried to sleep again, but as tired as she still was, she couldn't seem to go back to sleep, it was a miracle she had even slept in the first place. Breanna didn't get a wink of sleep the night before, the monsters of the night came in their thousands to make sure she was miserable the next morning. The day Jack would have been twenty-four.

“I think they’ve realized that I’m gone.” I was certain that was the case, after all, if Ezekial was as capable as he claimed, he would be more than aware of what was going on in his domain. “We gotta go.” Nodding, Forrest jumps and wraps a hand around mine. Once he is secure, I start to pull, but realize that he is much heavier than I expected. “What?” I huff, drawing on the rogue strength that is slowly consuming me. “Do you eat more than three meals a day?”

I chose to forgo any shoes despite the cold weather as it made me feel more grounded to be barefoot. Thirty minutes later we were leaving the little boutique and heading back into the pack house. There was a large lecture hall they would be using to hold this secret meeting. Gerwulf went to the front of the room and I sat in a chair beside him. Soon Ross and Jade head filtered in along with Vance and Dietrich. I was surprised to see Forrest and Colette join us seeing as how it was barely passed four o'clock. However I had learned from Robin that now modern vampires weren't too unlike humans with their sleep choices. It was just as common to find some that chose to be awake during the day, an

He said the last part when he saw her walking back into the house "She might go back to bed" That was exactly what she did. After walking around and crying for Dustin to come to her and forgive her, after promising to rescue him she walked back to her room and fell asleep. He sat on the bed for a long time just watching her, waiting for her to have another nightmare or sleepwalking episode but she remained asleep. He went to his room and took his laptop before returning back to sit on her bed. He Googled about sleepwalking and saw that most times it was as a result of stress or depression.

Sleepwalker Chapter 1 Nothing like that had ever been seen by the doctor before. Over the years, we had visited multiple of these centers, but none of them had ever treated a case of chronic and debilitating sleepwalking like the one my son Tom, who was nineteen years old, was dealing with.
