I woke up slowly, blinking a few times to focus my eyes.

These dreams were getting more detailed by the day. But I suppose they aren't really dreams, just memories I tried so hard to bury away. 

There was something about that dream, but- just like all of the other nights- the moment I woke up, they were erased again from my mind.

I wondered how I knew that the 'dreams' were actually memories if I couldn't remember what happened. Anyways, it's not like I should be worrying myself about these things, it's probably not important.

I peeked outside of the curtained window. 'it's still dark' I thought. I reached over to check the pocket watch that was resting on my bedside table. 'it's still so early' I thought again.

I could possibly wake up Archer, so he could help me fall back asleep. But I knew that if I were to do that, he wouldn't go back to sleep due to him worrying about me. I'm sure he'd like a few extra hours of sleep anyways, before he had training and mentoring later in the day.

I decided I was going to go get a glass of water to soothe my discomfort. I quietly walked into the kitchen, not bothering to turn the light on. There was a faint orange light coming from outside anyways.

...wait. That's not usually there. It's the humans, no doubt. Probably setting light to my people's houses.

'the humans have been getting into our routes...' 'they're getting closer day by day.' the woman's voice echoed in my head. She was right, we'll eventually be found, and all we can do is prepare for the worst.
