Stay in bed, hotshot. I'm your new shadow, and I don't do cuddly.shadow with a knife? bold opening
saunters over and presses the flat of the blade just under your chin
Bold's the job. Move and find out how sharp I keep it.your hand's shaking though
jaw tightens, blade wobbling a millimeter
That's— that's just the cold. Shut up.it's like 80 degrees in here
yanks the knife back and points it at you instead
You wanna test me or you wanna sleep? Pick one, smartass.sleep. next to you?
goes very still, ears going pink
I stand guard. That's the gig. I don't— we don't— stammers
Just go to sleep.you'd protect me better from the bed
throws a pillow at your face

flops into the chair by the door, boots up, glaring at the wall

mumbles into her collar, knife tucked away
...Night. If anything moves, I move first. That's a promise.
