Rae couldn't think of anything either, so she just picked the lint off of her skirt and kept licking the blood from her lip as it sprang to the surface.

"Well..I'm bored. I don't even remember what I was going to do before I saw you here." He leaned against the tree and stared at the clouds.
Rae grinned. "That was irrelivant....yet, okay." She moved to flatten herself against the earth and yawned. Seemed she was alwasy tired now-a-days.
He began to doze off as he sat against the tree. The clouds were like, mesmerizing. His eyes started to feel heavier and heavier, until they eventually closed.
Rae glanced over at Paul just as he fell asleep. She grinned and stared at him for a while before she also fell asleep. She dreamed of being nine years old--her lasst day at being nine--and wishing her mother was there, but wishing neither her mother nor her father had ever been in her life. In real life the day had passed by quite normally. Her just staring at the wall for hours on end, barely touching the 'food' her father brought her, and her talking with Moe.
But in her dream this didn't happen. Instead she dreamed of both her parents bursting into her room and after upturning the whole room, pointing bows and arrows at her.
Rae screamed.

Rae screamed.
A surge of pain pulsed through Paul's body as Rae screamed and he awoke with a startle. "Rae!?" In the suddenness of the situation, he almost thought they were both under attack. He turned to her with a frightened face. "Are you alright!? What happened!?"
Rae half woke up, shaking violently. She immediately started crying and unconsciously buried her face in his side. Since her eyes were closed she kept imagining her parents drawing back the arrow before letting them go, then laughing when they pierced her flesh. Rae bit her lip, trying to stop her crying.
He hugged her tightly as more pain shot through his body. Her feelings of terror and trauma were being directly transferred to him, and manifested physical pain within his body. "Rae!? What's wrong? What happened?"
Rae's breath got more ragged. "Don't let them hurt me. Don't let them hurt me," she whispered in a tortured voice over and over.
"No one's going to hurt you.. I'm right here, Rae."
I think she might still be half-asleep. You might be able to snap her out of it.
He held her out in front of him and lightly slapped her face. "Hey! Snap out of it!"
