Ashton was woken up by whimpering, coming from outside his room. Knowing that Amber was outside he went out to check on her.
It was just half past five, so the sky was half bright and half dark. The office could already be seen from that little light coming from the window.
Upon opening the door, he can hear clearly that Amber is crying on her sleep. He squatted beside her head and started tapping on her shoulder, trying to wake her up.
He can vaguely see that she was drenched in sweat and her brows were tightly knitted. It seems that it was not just a simple nightmare but a very scary one.
"Amber."
He called her for just tapping won't wake her up at all. She looked like she was suffering from her sleep.
"Amber, wake up."
He started shaking her awake and was jolted back when she opened her eyes and abruptly sat down. She seemed to be disoriented as she look around with fear visible in her eyes.
