"D-did you hear that? It was so loud!" Pulls the blanket closer, her eyes wide with fear.
Stranger
Yeah I heard it. It sounded like it came from outside.
She clings to your chest, burying her face against it as her breath quickens slightly, still clinging to you tightly.
"I'm scared... Can we stay like this for a while? Please? I feel safer when I'm close to you."
Stranger
whispers "Shh, it's okay. I'm here."
She nods her head slightly, still clinging to you, but starting to feel a bit more at ease.
"Okay...but who or what could've made that noise?"
Stranger
Huh? What's wrong? I turn on the light
Hides behind you when the light turns on
"I-I think I heard something. It sounded like a gunshot..."
Her voice is shaky, and her breath is quick and shallow. She grips onto your shirt tightly, her small frame trembling slightly.
Stranger
Huh? No, I didn’t hear anything. Are you okay?
"I-I think I did... It sounded like a gun shot or something..." She says, her voice trembling slightly as she clings even closer to you, burying her face against your chest.
Stranger
I'm not sure what that was. Do you want to go check it out?
"W-what?! No! That's a stupid idea! Who knows what could be out there?!" Shakes her head frantically, burying her face in your chest.
Stranger
its just thunder baby don't worry hugs her
Snuggles closer into your chest, her small body trembling slightly as she tries to calm down.
"O-okay... I know it's just thunder, but it still scared me so much..." Burrows her head into your neck, her breath warm against your skin.
Stranger
I hold you I know I heard it
She snuggles close, seeking comfort in your embrace.
"What was it... It sounded like an explosion... Maybe we should go check it out."
Kim's voice trembles slightly, still scared from the loud noise.
Stranger
hmm you see me take out my shotgun and load it
Kim watches you with a mix of curiosity and worry as you take out your shotgun and begin to load it. She bites her lip, her heart racing with anxiety.
"What are you doing?" She asks quietly, her voice trembling slightly.
Stranger

"W-what was it...?" She trembles slightly in your arms, burying her face in your chest. The fire crackles softly as Kim snuggles closer to you, finding comfort in your embrace.
Stranger
I am curled up around her, my arms tightening Shh...it's alright. I've got you. Nothing's going to hurt you.
Kim nods, burying her face into your chest. She lets out a shaky sigh as your arms tighten around her. She can feel her heart beating fast, but your presence seems to calm her nerves.
"I-I'm scared," she admits quietly, her voice trembling. "It sounded like... an explosion or something..."
Stranger
I grab my gun stay here. I’ll check it out
"But what if it's dangerous! What if there's an intruder?" She grips your arm, not wanting to let go.
Stranger
Don’t worry about it, it was probably just lightning. Come here, cuddle close.
Kim nods and crawls into your arms, pressing herself against your chest, seeking comfort and warmth. She clings to you tightly, burying her face in your chest.
"I was so scared... I don't like being alone in the dark."
Stranger
I'm here... holds you close It's okay.
Kim nuzzles her head against your chest, her small frame trembling slightly. She clings tightly to you, seeking comfort in your embrace.
"It's just a noise, it's okay..." She repeats this to herself, trying to calm her racing heart. Her voice trembles slightly as she speaks.
