Marta woke screaming and with a cold, clammy sweat drenching her body and the sheets. Aaron bolted up from his resting place on the couch and was at Marta's side in an instant, gun rose looking for whom or what had Marta so frightened. Once convinced no one was there he lowered his gun and turned to face Marta. The sight of her was enough to want to hunt down whoever her nightmare was about and seriously do them some damage. 'Marta?" Aaron whispered quietly, not wanting to frighten her anymore then she already was. Marta was curled up in the center of the bed. Knees drawn up tight up against her chest arms wrapped around them, head pressed back resting on the headboard. Her eyes were squeezed shut protecting her from the harmful outside world. The slight glow from the window provided little light in the room. Aaron could see the slight sweat resting on her forehead. He reached out a hand to smooth her bangs away but as some as his fingers touched her, she flinched away from his touch and a small whimper escaped her lips. He tried again she didn't flinch or cry out this time but wouldn't open her eyes. 'Marta you're going to be fine." "It was just a dream." "Calm down." He said to her in a calm voice. This seemed to get thought to her. "Aaron" she whispered, almost like she was scared someone would harm her for talking to loud. Just as he was about to ask her what happened she threw her arms around his neck and launched herself into his arms. She buried her face into his collarbone and breathed in his sent. It took Aaron a second to comprehend what just happened but as soon as he did he wrapped one strong arm around her back protectively, while his other hand came to rest on the back of her head. She was shaking. Aaron wasn't sure if she was just cold or she was truly that scared. Aaron went to grab the blanket that she kicked to the floor some time during the night, but as soon as he moved Marta tightened her grip and said, 'no Aaron don't leave please.' Aaron was floored, no one had actually requested his company in a long while. Just as Marta was dozing off in his arms he stood and carried them over to his make shift bed on the couch. After he had set them both down on the couch she snuggled in his shoulder and was out like a light. He pulled the blanket over the both of them and he too soon fell asleep.
