Pearl POV

The bedrock portal opened and five 10 foot tall creatures stepped out. The were dressed in these black and purple robes with white masks. A few of the evolutionists were talking to them but I couldn't hear them. After a little bit, purple magic began to explode the builds around as we all scrambled to a portal. As we were running, Netty was hit by a burst of magic and proceeded to fall over dead. One by one the Watchers began to kill us off slowly and pain-

I woke up in a cold sweat. Just a nightmare, another one. This week I had been having a lot of nightmares of my past in Evo. I knew I wasn't falling asleep anytime soon so I put on my sweater and stepped outside. I walked to the cobble bridge Grian built and laid down to look at the stars. This always calmed me down when I was feeling troubled.

I laid there for a while before another Hermit laid down next to me. I tensed up a bit, not knowing who it was.

"It's just me," Grian whispered.

Knowing it was him, I relaxed and continued gaze at the sky.

We sat in a comfortable silence for a bit just enjoying the sky. When our backs began to hurt from the cobble, we sat up and dipped our feet in the water.

"Nightmare?" he asked.

I hummed in response. He shuffled closer to me and put an arm over my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me.

"The nightmares aren't going to stop, are they," he said sadly.

"Yeah... but at least we can talk to each other about them," I responded, trying to lighten the mood.

We sat there and chatted until sunrise and the other Hermits began to wake up. We didn't really notice the time we just had a nice chat.

Then Mumbo arrived.

"What are you two doing this early in the morning?!?? It's like 7 am!"

"Mumbo, what does it look like we're doing. Were socializing," Grian deadpanned.

"Did you guys even sleep?"

"We tried?" I responded.

"Don't pick up on Grian's sleeping habits, Pearl," Mumbo said as we all laughed.

Memories will be there but they're in the past and you have a future to live. Go out there and live it.
