Aphmau POV

"You have a habit of dream walking don't you?" Sky sighs, sitting back into his office chair since I was on his bed. Deadlox and Ssundee went to sleep because they were both mentally and physically drained.

"I can't control it. It just happens." I sigh. I mean, it's a good thing but the problem is that I can't control it. Suddenly, the door opens.

"Hey. I heard talking. Is everything okay?" I turn my head to see Max walk in with some hot chocolate. He hands it to me before sitting at the end of the bed.

"We are fine. Jess keeps dream walking. She just saved Deadlox and Ssundee from the squids by using her Phoenix charm. Now she is just very weak." Sky explains while I drink the hot chocolate. Max always knows how to make the best drinks.

"This is starting to become a problem. What if she somehow teleports in her sleep? The squids would have an easy advantage on her then." Max says, running his hand through his hair.

"Maybe I can ask the Phoenix goddess. She should know what to do." I say, trying to move but I instead fall off of the bed. Max picks me back up, picking up my wilted garland before placing my on the bed. He keeps the charm with him.

"For now, just rest. I think it would be best if I held onto this. You have already over used it enough." Max says before walking towards the door. "See you guys in the morning. Get some sleep." He says before walking out.

"Bye..." I say, yawning. Sky stands up and walks over to me, putting the covers over me before kissing my forehead.

"Get some sleep. I will sleep in Max's room on his couch if you need me." He says, going to walk away but I grab his sleeve.

"Sleep with me." I mumble to him before crawling onto one side of the bed. Sky gets in the other side.

"Goodnight Jess." Is all I hear before falling asleep.

I open my eyes to see more water. I'm in the ocean again, but this time I'm with Sky.

"What's going on?" He asks, looking around. This is when I notice our bodies. They are starting to materialise. I quickly cover Sky's mouth before taking a deep breath. We  instantly felt the water around us. Max jinxed us. We are actually outside of the kingdom right now. Sky quickly grabs my wrist and swims is both up to the surface. He doesn't have anything on his eyes since he took his eye patches off before he won't to bed.

"I know an island near here. Just follow my directions." I say before letting out the glow from my chest. It leads us both to the island, me getting a piggy back from Sky since I still can't move too much.

"This was unexpected." Sky sighs. Suddenly, I hear a sword being unsheathed from its holder. Sky spins around with his sword out, blocking the sword that was about to strike him at his chest. He quickly kills the squid.

"We need to get to my shrine! They shouldn't get through there!" I say before standing up on my wobbly legs. Sky runs up to me, picking me up bridal style before running in the direction that I point him in. The squids aren't far behind us, shooting arrows. Good thing Sky turned his body into budder. He is covering me with his body so I am not hit either.

"How much further?" He shouts.

"It's just there! Run down the stairwell and there should be a force field." I point at the shrine, notifying Sky that we are here. He does as I say and as soon as we are through the force field, he trips down the stairs, releasing me on accident. It just had to be a long stair case didn't it! I fall all the way down the stairs, falling on one of the traps. Arrows shoot above me.

"Hey Jess are you okay!?" Sky shouts, not able to see me just yet.

"No! I can't get up!" I shout back. He quickly runs down the stairs to see the arrows shooting just an inch above me.

"Just stay still while I drag you out of there." He says as soon as he notices my predicament. He grabs my legs and starts to slowly pull me out as I give him a 'wtf' face.

"My back hurts. Can you teleport us back to the house?" I ask him as he picks me up. This is when I notuce that he doesn't have his amulet with him.

"My amulet broke off as we were running. I need to go and find it before we can teleport but the squids are guarding the entrance." He explains. I sigh.

"Well it's still late so we should probably go to sleep. Well, you should. I don't trust myself to sleep anymore so I will keep guard. I should be back to normal by tomorrow so we can go and search for your amulet. We can't contact anybody without it and nobody can teleport us to them since they don't know how." I say to him. He sets me down leaning against the wall before sitting next to me. I pull him down so his head is on my lap.

"You need sleep as well." He tries to get up but I hold him down.

"If I sleep then I could teleport us into the squid kingdom. That would be bad. I can't fight in this state but you can so just go to sleep. I will keep watch." I stroke his hair. He closes his eyes.

"Goodnight then." He says. I just hum in response. He falls asleep.
