Nightmares, disturbing dreams filled with negativity. Those used to be Chengâs faithful companions, but as time passed and he learned to manage his expectations of the world, theyâd distanced themselves and found other people to prey upon. For example, Agent Sena.Â
Brows furrowed, lips trembling with words too quiet for him to hear, Cheng watched as cold sweat gathered on the womanâs forehead. Should he wake her? He deliberated, putting aside the novel he was reading to study her expression. Cheng preferred to not get too close to people when they were sleeping because there was always a chance theyâd see his negative energy first and move before their brains had a chance to fully recognize him as an ally.Â
âGo away...â Muttered the young woman. Her fingers had curled into fists and she was clenching them tight until her knuckles turned white.
Cheng sighed, his mind made up. âHey,â he called out quietly, planting a hand on Agent Senaâs shoulder and giving it a light shake. âWake up, you-âÂ
Annnnnnd then she tried to knife him.
The fact he was fully expecting the attack due to past experiences meant he dodged back with ease, and her knife sliced through cold air instead of his neck. âItâs me,â he said, keeping his voice level and non-threatening. âAgent Castle. Demon, but not a threat. You are at the agency, and all is well.â Other than capturing her knife wielding hand by the wrist to prevent further accidental attacks, Cheng did not risk further movements. âIf you are awake enough, I can let go.âÂ
