Dark Have My Dreams Been

by DearestLizzie

Started before the Gravedigger storyline was wrapped up on the show so a different take on the situation. Some hurt/comfort and, eventually, fluff. The Gravedigger is back and has targeted someone Brennan loves. Angsty but BB all the way. Eventual fluff.

Dark Have My Dreams Been

Oh, God, it was coming. She didn't know what it was, but she could feel the evil creeping towards her, stalking her like prey. Cold sweat dripped down her neck, her fear like a tangible thing gnawing at her insides. She curled deeper and deeper into a ball, trying to make herself invisible, and cowered in the darkest corner of the room. This wasn't supposed to be happening. Everything was alright now. Wasn't it? Isn't that what he promised? Her eyes squeezed shut, she started rocking back and forth and whispering over and over, "He promised, he promised, he promised."

Suddenly she stopped. Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes shot open wide and fixed on the door to her fragile sanctuary. It was here. Her lips moved in a wordless prayer as she pressed herself even closer to the wall behind her. "He promised," she whispered desperately just as the door flew open and suffocating darkness flooded the room. A bloodcurdling scream pierced the night and then all was still.
