"Is it dead!?" Erica called out. Blake nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. He now no longer felt anything watching him anymore which allowed him to feel a bit more at ease. He walked over to the barrier the girls were under, and un did it and slipped into between the two. "Wake me in an hour…."
Erica and Sam looked at each other and smiled as they both cuddled up next to him and gently rubbed his back. They both knew he had been tired for some time. He may not have shown it, but it was clear to them that he was in need of some sleep, if only a little. When they heard the sounds of his steady breathing as he fell asleep, the girls looked at each other and, with knowing eyes, nodded. They would let him sleep until morning. They would take tonight's watch.
