Garret stared at his paws. "Well, we better all try and get some sleep," he said to group. "We don;t know how far we'll be traveling tomorrow."

Garret laid down, trying not to brush up against Shay.

Luna curled up tightly, trying not to touch anybody.

Cassie laid down with her paws on her head.

Garret was having a very peaceful dream, running through a bright and happy field with the rest of his pack. Suddenly, he heard Shay yelling 'No!'. He turned to look at Shay, but the Shay in his dreams was happy to be free and smiling widely at him. He smiled back, not dwelling on the yelling. He chased after the dream Shay playfully. But he stopped when she began begging him to not do something. The dream Shay looked back at him curiously, probably wondering why he stopped. She smiled and laughed, but her laugh turned into a scream, even though she was still smiling. Suddenly, it hit Garret that the real Shay, the one out side his dreams, must be screaming. He forced himself to wake and looked immediately at the cowing Shay. "Shay, is everything alright?" he asked, moving closer to her. The others were still fast asleep.

"And I was in it?" Garret asked, confused. He remembered hearing his name.

"What did I do?" Garret asked worrily.

"Shay," Garret said soothing, moving closer to her. "Shay, I would never hurt you. It was just a dream." He licked her cheek to erase the tears that were there.

"The pack was in a better place," Garret said simply. "And it was beautiful."
