¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #10
"Jellyfish!!" Hazel yelled as she woke up from her dream. It was almost midnight and all the leaders were just sitting around the fire talking. Zander was sitting with them because by now all the leaders knew his secret and the suspicious ones wanted to keep an eye on him at all times. Zander was having trouble going to sleep anyway. The leaders had decided to keep Zander's secret from the kids because they would probably freak out. And Zander didn't want any Quincy 2.0s.
The day had felt pretty long to Zander. After the leaders had learned he was Steve's son they all kept a close eye on him as he joined in on the activities, especially during sword training. They seemed surprised to find out that Zander wasn't a very good fighter. He only knew the basics and only beat a few other kids in sparring. Good thing none of the other kids thought it suspicious that the leaders were watching Zander so closely.
Hazel started crying and a leader walked into her tent and came out cradling her in her arms. Hazel still looked half asleep and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"What's wrong little Hazel?" The leader asked in her sweet and gentle voice that calmed down the crying girl a bit.
"The- the- the- Jellyfish..." The little girl sniffled and cried again. She was having a hard time breathing properly. "They were.. attacking me."
"Shhhhh... It's okay... it's okay... It was just a dream.." The leader sighed as she rocked Hazel in her arms like a baby. "This is the third time she has had this nightmare." She said to the other leaders in a casual voice.
"No!" Cried Hazel. "It w- w- was r- real... Realer than, all of.. this!" Hazel then tucked her head into her arms and tried to hide herself in the leader's arms.
"It's okay... we are far away from the ocean.. Jellyfish live in the ocean." The leader comforted.
"No... they were in th- the, sk- sk- sky.." Hazel moaned. "They fell from the sky and, and, and..." Hazel then interrupted herself. "And the iron turtles! Th- th- they crushed my home!... And then the, j- jellyfish took my Dad! My, my Mom got- got, hit by a iron t- turtle's fire ball!... And then I..." She sniffled again. "And- and, I'm dreaming.."
"No Hazel, you aren't dreaming.. You're okay... It was all a dream..." The leader continued rocking her.
"No this is a dream too... It's all a d- d- dream........." Hazel finally fell asleep in the leader's arms and she laid her back down in her bed.
'What was that all that about?!' Zander thought to himself.
