Residents of the Dark[3]

"Wake up..."

Amidst the darkness, a soft familiar whisper entered Joseph's ears. 

"Wake up..."

Who the hell is disturbing my sleep? Can't you see that I'm in True Sleep Mode right now? All that thinking early in the day burned me out so, please. Just let me sleep peacefully.

Joseph inwardly complained, he didn't even bat an eyelid nor opened his eyes. He rolled to face the other side of the stone bed, all while taking all of the blanker for his own use.

"Hey, wake up!" 

The familiar whisper turned fierce. This time, a pushing force accompanied the whisper and Joseph couldn't help but be irritated.

"What is wrong? Can you just let me sleep? Why are you trying to wake me up in the middle of the night!" He angrily whispered and when he opened his eyes, Alice was staring right at him.

"As I thought, it's you, Alice... What's going on? Wait, did you sleep beside me?"
