Everything in the house was quiet. Not a sound erupted from it. Everything was peaceful, exept for one thing. Acutually it was a person. Viola to be specifically. Viola was tossing and turning wildly. Despite her countinueous tossing, Duke was still asleep. Viola was dreaming a total and complete nightmare.
She was running. Her legs burned with an intensity. How long had she been running? She had no clue but she knew she had to keep runing or else they would get her. Wait. Or else who would get her? Wherever she was was similar to the Illiriya campus. It was night considering it was dark. She was wearing workout clothes. Viola was guessing that she must have gone for a midight run. That would explain why she was running but not who or what she was running from. She knew she was scared. No she was beyond scared, she was terrifiyed. Viola was confused and lost. Where was Duke? She wanted Duke.
Suddenly Something hit Viola. She was on the ground. She couldn't see anything but she felt a sharp, excrutianting pain take over her body. She tried to wringgle free. She tuned, kicked, clawed and fought but that only made it worse. She couldn't take it anymore. She released that bloodcurdling scream that had built up inside her throat.
Then everything went black.
Viola's scream rang throughout the dark room. Duke woke with a start. He looked over to his side but could see nothing. He reached over to the bedside table to turn on the lamp. With some light in the room he could finally see the source of the sound. Beside him was a screaming Viola. She was thrashing wildly while screaming and mumbling.
"Get away! No let go! Help!" Viola screamed. Duke shifted his weight so that he was over her. He grabbed her wrists and pinned her down.
"No get away! Please stop! No!" Viola countinued to scream.
"Vi! Wake up! Viola! Baby, wake up!" Duke screamed as he shook her violently. Suddenly the screaming ceased. Viola's eyes opened and she was breathing hard, almost gasping for air.
Tears had stained her face while fresh ones began to fall. She looked up into Duke's eyes. They were soft and caring. His eyes were a loving green. She began to calm down. When realization hit her, Viola launched herself at Duke. He caught her and landed on his back on the bed. Her arms were locked around his neck and his arms around her waist. Viola pressed herself agaist Duke. She needed to know that he was real and not a dream. She needed him right now.
Duke held Viola close to him. He sensed that she needed him. He rubbed her back and stroked her hair while whispering sweet nothings in her ear. Nothing seemed to completly calm her down. Duke felt Viola's body give a violent shake and he heard a sob escape her lips. He just held her close knowing that's what she needed. She just needed to be held.
'What could have scared her this bad? She's never been this scared before. Oh Vi.' Duke thought to himself. He managed to pull himself up into a sitting position without letting Viola go. He pulled her away at arms length. What he saw broke his heart. Before him was the woman he loved and she was hurt. Viola was a mess. He normally perfect and straight hair was mussed from her failed attempts at sleep. Her clothes were rumpled and her face was stained and streaked with tears. Duke thought she was still beautiful.
"Viola, what's wrong? Hm? Why are you crying?" Duke asked as he wiped her tears away with his thumb.
"I-I was running and th-then i was knocked to the ground a-and there was a pain. I tried to get free but I couldn't." Viola explained to the best of her ability. Now that she thought about it the more she felt crazy. Duke pulled her closer.
"It was just a dream. You had a nightmare. It's okay. I'm here. You're safe now." Duke rocked her gently.
Somehow Duke's words didn't seem to sooth the probing sense in the back of Viola's mind. Viola felt that it was more than just a nighmare. However she didn't voice this to Duke not wanting to make him upset. Instead she pushed the thought in the back of her mind and relaxed in her boyfriends arms. For the first time that night Viola was able to go to sleep.
