A few hours after she'd fallen asleep, Dacia awoke with a start, the mild dreams she'd managed to reach leaving her with strong reminders of the nightmares she'd had her whole life. Her body was in a light sweat already and this troubled her. Getting up, she made her way to the mouth of the cave and looked up to the starry night sky. While outside, a breeze blew against her, a whistling resounding across the clearing and she wrapped her arms around herself before retreating back inside.
She was a bit disappointed that Vivian had not returned, thinking that, perhaps, he had decided to abandon her and her violent ways in favor of a more peaceful area of the woods. As much as she hated the thought of it she knew it was quite probable that that was what had become of him and she decided that she would not dwell on it if he never came back. She had survived on her own up until now, hadn't she? It wasn't enough, though, the thought of being left alone again frightened her.
Dacia moved back to the area she'd been sleeping in, readjusting the makeshift bedding in hopes of a second attempt at sleep resulting in a relatively peaceful rest for her. Lying down, she stared out past the mouth of the cave, to the trees and beyond until their shadows cloaked whatever might be there. Sighing, she silently hoped that he would come back eventually, no matter what his condition may be, if only so she would not be alone.
ooc: I'm sorry that this took so long to get up. :[
