Night Terrors
Ben huddled tightly as he walked through the doorway. The monsters had defeated him before but this time he was ready.

He felt his body tighten as the darkness surrounded him. The ancient one had provided him with the a secret to prevent him from harm.

When things got too intense all he needed to do was close his eyes and say the magic words. The monsters were relentless attacking him with all they had but he wrapped himself in his cloak of protection keeping them at bay. Shutting his eyes tightly... he mustered his courage. "I'm not scared! Begone Nightmares!" He shouted. Suddenly he was safe. He could now rest easily... the night terrors had been banished.

Ben's parents were impressed.

"How did you get him to fall asleep by himself?" his mom asked. "He has been so scared of the dark lately."

Ben's grandmother smiled. "When you are as old as I am you know a thing or two." She said. "I told him the same thing I told his dad when he was Ben's age. All he needed to do was wrap himself in his blanket and remind himself to be brave and the bad dreams would vanish!"
