Creepy Crawlies

Rolling around restlessly, Lizzy just couldn't seem to get comfortable in the mat of leave she and Night had made. She let out a puff of air in exasperation and looked up at the ceiling of the cave. Even in the pitch black darkness she could make out each and every crack that spider-webbed it's way across it.

Random thoughts flitted about her mind like small insects looking for a crumb. She let them take their reign of her mind as she replayed the days' events in her head, smiling at what happened that morning, but frowning upon remembering the two brothers leaving them.

She looked over at Night who was sleeping next to her, his face the most relaxed it would ever be throughout a day. She laughed again to herself thinking on how his face was usually scrunched up or in a scowl. She rolled towards him to hold onto his arm in another attempt to get comfortable.

Listening to the nights' sound of whatever assortment of creatures this new land had to offer, Lizzy drifted slowly towards sleep, the insects still skittering through her mind. She held onto Night, using his arm as an extra bit of cover as she let the bugs crawl away.
