[ She jerks back from the voice, her own desperate as she slips and snaps awake, her eyes flicking around with desperation, not wanting to face what might be there. She looks at her hands and swallows when she doesn't see blood, lifting them to card through her hair, each breath coming in hard and fast - it's as if she had run a marathon, exhaustion seeping into her and making her swallow the lump in her throat, shifting to push herself back against the wall.
It takes a little while for her to realise that it was Remus that called for her and her eyes turn, her expression petrified before she realises what's happening. Slowly, she pushes herself to her feet, ignoring the pounding fear that she can feel inside before she steps over, unlocking the cage and letting the dogs come to her side, snapping towards her - they want to help, she knows, but she's scared to touch them, as if she might hurt them or damage them somehow. Instead, she just smiles shakily at Remus. ]
Just a bad dream. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.
