Clow instantly sat up straight with wide eyes, and panting heavily, like he had last time...though he hadn't called any name out. His sweating was cold and damp, and made Clow look white. He gulped, and then closed his eyes almost as if trying to hold back any tears. There was shakiness in his voice as he spoke, slamming his fist down into the bed beside him, opposite side of Nami.
"D-Damnit...! Why do I keep having that dream...It's replaying over and over in my head."

Nami ran her hand soothingly down his arm, eventually covering his hand with her smaller one. "Was it the same? About the baby?" She asked softly, reaching to tuck a damp tendril of hair behind his ear.

Clow nodded as he bit his bottom lip hard, and closed his eyes. He tried to bite back his heavy breathing, but it was hard.
"Y-Yeah...I don't know why..."

Nami was quiet for a moment. She had no answer for him. Instead she continued to stroke the pad of her thumb along the back of his hand in a soothing motion. " It's just a dream." She said finally. "Maybe that's just your mind's way of dealing with fear."

Reeve sighs, ignoring the livid handprints on his face. He kicks his feet boredly."I don't know what Nyl was talking about...or why everyone's hitting me." He chants a rhyme he'd heard somewhere for entertainment.
"What destroys castle, slays lord,
Puts villages to the sword?"
"......I do."

Clow nodded.
"You're right..."
Instantly laying back down, his eyes closed. Maybe he'd try to go back to bed...

Nami waited until she was sure Clow was back asleep before crawling out from under the blankets. She felt ill and exhausted but something was nagging at her.
Changing into more practical pajamas, she crept out towards the main room.

"Power... kill...It's all there..."
Reeve's eyes flash from brown-green to red and back again.
"No!"

Reeve's sharp denial startled her and she snapped her head up, eyes scanning the main-room from where she stood in the hall. He was still on the same couch. "Who are you talking to?" She asked, stepping into the main-room.

"Me? I'm just talking to Power...all I need...."
Reeve smiles sweetly, his own voice murmuring 'help me' between gritted teeth.

Help me...? Nami crossed the short distance to Reeve's couch and crouched down so that she was at eye-level with him. "Reeve..." Her voice trailed off. "What do you need help for?"

"Ultimate power...so close...."

"Why?" Nami asked softly, one hands reaching out to take his in a re-assuring gesture. "What's making you go crazy?"

"The sword, Sarya." Reeve says in a demented tone. "Another Broken Dream."

Nami refrained from reminding Reeve that she wasn't Sarya and instead focused on the other part of his speech. " Another sword? What sword?"
