Lavender woke to a gasp. She turned on her side and realized that for once, it was not her own nightmares waking her, but Parvati’s.

 

“Vati?” She said softly, gingerly reaching out her hand. Parvati flinched and Lavender immediately drew back, unsure of what to do to that reaction. Usually Parvati wanted her close after a nightmare. She started to get up off the bed.

 

“No!” Parvati shrieked. “Don’t leave,” she said, more softly this time, akin to a whisper. “Please, please don’t leave me.”

 

“Shh,” said Lavender, wrapping her arms around Parvati’s shoulders and rubbing her upper arms. “It’s alright, love, I’m right here.”

 

“You’re here?” Parvati asked, slowly starting to relax.

 

“I’m here,” Lavender reassured her. “I’m right here.”

 

“And you’ll stay?” Parvati asked, resting her head on Lavender’s shoulder. “You’re not going anywhere?”

 

“I’m not going anywhere,” Lavender said, kissing the top of her head. “Never again.”
