She found herself running. From what, was still a matter of debate. The hard concrete floor chilled her bare feet. This dream was a bit different. It was still dark, but at least she could make out shadows within the darkness. And yet, she ran. Something was chasing her, or someone. She had given up on calling for Tom. Something deep down within her knew, just knew, that Tom wouldn't be there for her and it hurt. The man she loved would never be there to save her from the Monsters, but she still called for her father. Sam would always be there for his little girl. He would save her.

Sorry Butterball, not this time. Was all she heard. "DADDY NO," she cried out. "Please don't," she sobbed.

And still she ran. Lizzie was getting tired of running. Soon whatever, or whoever was behind her would catch up to her and then...she didn't know what would happen then.

She came to halt when she noticed someone in front of her. She could barely see him. but she recognized that silhouette.

Lizzie. He called seductively as he opened his arms. She turned back only to see the impending darkness moving toward her. "NO! NEVER!" She screamed toward him, weeping openly as she stood her ground and covered her head… waiting … waiting for the darkness to reach her. But before it could, she found herself enveloped in the comforting and protective embrace of a pair of strong arms. To her dismay, she found that she had never felt so safe in anyone arms. Not Tom's, not even Sam's.

"Lizzie, don't be childish, and stop being stubborn You know I'll always do what I feel is necessary to keep you safe," he whispered tenderly. "You have me."

"NOOO! LET ME GO, LET ME GO! JUST LEAVE ALONE!" She desperately screamed, trying to fight him off, but her body wouldn't respond, instead it melted into Red's embrace.

"Shhh," He cooed into her neck, nuzzling it intimately. "You have me."

Opening her eyes with a start, Lizzie sucked in a deep breath. She was quivering in fear, anxiety and to her surprise… arousal. She widened her eyes as she realized that embarrassingly, she yearned for Reddington's touch…and more.
