"One last thing." He reached into the sack and dug around dramatically. Then he slowly pulled out a totem.... A beautiful carving of Vim and Boethiah. "I went back to get it." He placed it in her hands.

The totem from all those weeks ago. Could it really be it? She took it in her hands and ran her thumb over the carvings. "You really did save it," she smiled. Boe looked back to him, smiling brightly and kissed him, wrapping her arms around him.

Vim returned the kiss eagerly and hugged her tightly. "You know, this might be our last night in our own bed for awhile." He said against her lips.

The school... Allyssa didn't want to break it to them just yet. She'll do that later. Tempest nudged her and she patted her. "Try to get some sleep. Your gonna need it." Her dragon tried to protest, but Tempest was too tired and curled up on her nest.

Eventually came the time to sleep. Dotta hugged her mother goodnight. She went o bed but Dotta wanted to check on Blackie first. Blackie was already sound asleep in the stables. Go figure, Dotta rolled her eyes at the dragon. Only a Monstrous Nightmare could sleep so soundly before an impending war. Dotta laughed to herself as she went to bed.

Vim was snuggled up in bed next to Boethiah. Her breathing was soft and steady. He felt her heartbeat against his side. The furs were soft and warm, and her skin was softer than the silk dresses, but he still couldn't sleep. He was too agitated. He tried not to think about tomorrow as he closed his eyes and focused on her soft breathing.

Boethiah slept next to him and she snuggled up close to him. It was like a dream and soon the world would be falling apart again. And this time, nobody could be lost. No. Nobody [i[would[/i] be lost if it came to her.

Vim's eyes snapped open and he sat bolt upright. "Attack! Romans! Outcasts!" Boethiah shrieked next to him. He looked down. The puppy had pounced on his stomach. It was still the middle of the night.

Boethiah screamed and shot up, breathing heavy and looking at Vim. He was scared, she could see it in his eyes. "Vim," she eventually said after catching her breath. "What's wrong?"

He gulped. "I uh, had a nightmare." That wasn't a lie. "And he jumped on me, waking me up." He said, pointing at the dog. It yapped at him and wagged it's tail.

She chuckled at the little pup and turned to kiss Vim on the cheek. "It'll be alright VIm, don't worry about it, okay?" But now Boe was curious. "Do you remember anything about it?"

Screams. Blood everywhere. Spears flying through the air. Armies of organized, merciless Romans. Him lying dead in the sand. Boethiah lying dead. His sister after being told both her father and brother were dead.
"No." He lied. "Not really." He shakily grabbed her hand.

Sighing, she gripped his hand. "We're going to be fine," she mumbled. "We all are. We've done this twice over...we can do this."

'This is different!' He wanted to scream. These were highly organized imperialistic legions of loyal troops. Nothing like the Outcasts.
"You're right." He hugged her. "We will be fine."

At first, she was a bit startled, but she hugged him back and sighed. "Vim...promise me you won't do anything stupid..."
