THIRD PERSON POV
THEY BOTH WENT TO SLEEP THAT NIGHT, BRANCH SLEPT LIKE A BABY. MELODY, NOT SO MUCH. SHE WAS TOSSING AND TURNING AND SWEATING LIKE CRAZY.
THIS IS HER NIGHTMARE: SHE WAS WITH BRANCH WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS, ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE STARTED TO SING AND WINGS POPPED OUT OF HER BACK! SHE WAS IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN, SHE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE IT. SHE MUST HAVE WANDERED OFF BECAUSE BRANCH WAS NOWHERE TO BE SEEN, OR HE WANDERED OFF. SHE TRIED CALLING OUT FOR HIM, "BRANCH?, BRANCH WHERE ARE YOU?!" SHE SAW A TROLL IN THE DISTANCE AND THOUGHT IT WAS BRANCH. "BRANCH, IS THAT YOU?"
THE TROLL SAID " NO, MY NAME IS CREEK."
SHE WAS SHOCKED, SHE KNEW IT WAS THE TRAITOR FROM THE MOVIE. SHE FROZE IN FEAR., JUST THEN SHE FELT A SHARP PAIN IN HER SIDE, IT WAS A KNIFE!!! CREEK STABBED HER!! SHE FELT ANOTHER SHARP PAIN IN HER RIGHT LEG, IT WAS A NEEDLE WITH FLUID IN IT, CREEK PUSHED THE FLUID INTO MELODY'S BLOODSTREAM. SHE WAS TERRIFIED. SHE PASSED OUT FROM THE FLUID, THE LAST WORDS SHE HEARD FROM CREEK WAS "HAVE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH."
THAT WAS THE END OF HER DREAM. SHE SCREAMED IN HER SLEEP. "AHHHHHH!!! CREEK! BRANCH WHERE ARE YOU?! AHHHHH!!" SHE WOKE UP MORE SCARED THAN SHE HAD EVER BEEN IN  HER LIFE! BRANCH WAS STILL ASLEEP. SHE WAS GLAD BRANCH WAS OK, BUT SHE WAS SO SCARED CREEK WAS OUT TO GET HER. SHE CRIED, SHE CRIED VERY HARD. SHE TRIED TO CRY QUIETLY SO SHE WON'T WAKE BRANCH.
SHE SAT ON THE COUCH WITH HER HEAD IN HER KNEES AND CRIED MORE. BRANCH WOKE UP, BUT MELODY DIDN'T NOTICE, HE SLOWLY WALKED TO THE COUCH AND KNELT BESIDE HER.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HER TO TRY TO COMFORT HER.
"SHHH, ITS OKAY, TAKE DEEP BREATHS."
HE RUBBED HER BACK GENTLY SO SHE CAN RELAX. MELODY TOOK OFF THE BLANKET TO LOOK AT HER RIGHT LEG. THERE WAS NOTHING. SHE LIFTED HER SHIRT TO LOOK AT HER SIDE, STILL NOTHING. BRANCH- "LOOK, I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SLEEPING AFTER THAT, BUT DON'T WORRY, I KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO!" HE RAN TO HIS ROOM AND GOT A GUITAR FROM HIS CLOSET. HE CAME BACK OUT. " EVERY TIME I HAD A NIGHTMARE WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY GRANDMA WOULD SING ME A SONG SHE KNEW, IT ALWAYS PUT ME TO SLEEP. MAYBE IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME EFFECT ON YOU." HE STARTED SINGING "SAD SONG" BY WE THE KINGS.

"YOU AND I
WERE LIKE FIREWORKS AND SYMPHONIES EXPLODING IN THE SKY
WITH YOU IM ALIVE
LIKE ALL THE MISSING PIECES OF MY HEART THEY FINALLY COLLIDE
SO STOP TIME RIGHT HERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
CUZ I DON'T EVER WANNA CLOSE MY EYES
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL BROKE LIKE IM HALF OF A WHOLE
WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NO HAND TO HOLD
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL TORN LIKE A SAIL IN A STORM
WITHOUT YOU IM JUST A SAD SONG, IM JUST A SAD SONG
(MELODY STARTED TO SING ALONG WITH BRANCH)
WITH YOU I FALL
IT'S LIKE I'M LEAVING ALL MY PAST AND SILHOUETTES APON THE WALL
WITH YOU IM A BEAUTIFUL MESS
IT'S LIKE WE'RE STANDING HAND IN HAND WITH ALL OUR FEARS APON THE EDGE
SO STOP TIME RIGHT HERE IN THE MOONLIGHT
CUZ I DON'T EVER WANNA CLOSE MY EYES
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL BROKE LIKE I'M HALF OF A WHOLE
WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NO HAND TO HOLD
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL TORN LIKE A SAIL IN A STORM
WITHOUT YOU IM JUST A SAD SONG
(THEY SANG TOGETHER IN A BEAUTIFUL HARMONY)
YOUR THE PERFECT MELODY
THE ONLY HARMONY I WANNA HEAR
YOUR MY FAVORITE PART OF ME
WITH YOU STANDING NEXT TO ME I'VE GOT NOTHING TO FEAR
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL BROKE LIKE I'M HALF OF A WHOLE
WITHOUT YOU I'VE GOT NO HAND TO HOLD
WITHOUT YOU I FEEL TORN LIKE A SAIL IN A STORM
WITHOUT YOU I'M JUST A SAD SONG"

WHEN BRANCH  FINISHED THE SONG, SHE SAW THE LITTLE BLUE TROLL FAST ASLEEP..
"GOODNIGHT MELODY" HE SAID BEFORE HE BOOPED HER NOSE.
HE WAS HAPPY HE COULD HELP MELODY, SO HE FELL ASLEEP.
