Chapter II: It's getting worse

Ace woke up the next day, feeling as if he didn't get any sleep at all. He looked to his left and he saw that Deuce was still asleep. He looked at the clock and he saw that it was 1:00 PM. Knowing that he wasn't going to get anymore sleep, he kissed Deuce on her cheek, got up and took a shower. A few minutes later, Deuce woke up and noticed that Ace was gone, but she heard the shower running. So she stood up, grabbed her bag and headed back to her room, but not before leaving a letter. Ace walked out of the bathroom and noticed that Deuce was already gone. He spotted a folded piece of paper on his bed. He opened it and saw Deuce's neat handwriting.

"Ace,

Went back to my room for a while, see you later. ;)

Love you! :*

Deuce"

He grinned. He was so lucky to have her as his fiancée, but still he can't but worry about what his dream could've meant.

Deuce walked into the living room after taking a shower to see if anyone else is awake. She saw Nine sitting on he couch with his face buried in his hands. He was wearing pajama pants and a grey shirt that was drenched in sweat. Worried, Deuce approached him and laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Nine, are you okay?" She asked.

Nine turned to look at her and she saw that he looked like he didn't get any sleep at all.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a bad dream recently."

"That's funny. Ace had a bad dream as well."

Nine nodded in understanding.

"Where's Queen?" She asked.

"She's in town with the others. She was kinda worried ever since I told her about those dreams (1)." He explained.

"Okay, well, I'm going to go back upstairs." Deuce said.

"Okay."

Deuce walked up to Ace's room to see him reading a book. He was wearing a black tank top, jeans and black socks. Deuce lay down beside him and when he noticed her, he sets the book down and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Hi." He greeted.

"Hey."

Then, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. She returned it and Ace rolled them over so that she was on top. Ace hands caressed her back under her blouse while Deuce took off his top (AN:Please don't kill me!), exposing his muscular chest. Then, he started opening her blouse and then he rolled over so now she's under him and they continued kissing each other. Ace started to kiss her neck and his hands wandered down by her thigh and it went under her skirt. Ace's hands wandered to her blouse again and he took it off. Deuce started unbuckling his belt and unzipped his pants. Suddenly, Deuce's phone rang and she saw on the caller ID said 'Queen'. She answered it and held it to her ear as Ace kissed her neck.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Queen. Meet me and Rem in Cafe in town. Now."

"Yeah, sure. Maybe in a few minutes." Deuce answered.

"You and Ace are making out aren't you?" Queen asked.

"Yes." Deuce answered hesitantly.

"Get here now." Queen demanded sternly.

"Okay, okay." Deuce said and she hung up.

"I got to go." Deuce said as she kissed Ace in the lips.

"Why? What's wrong?" Ace asked.

"I don't know, Queen just called me to meet her and Rem at the café in town."

"Oh, come on, they can wait." Ace said and he kissed her again but she immediately pulled away.

"No, I can't, but I'm free the whole night." She said

"Okay, but take care of yourself, alright." He said and he gave her another kiss.

"You're right, they can wait." Deuce said and they started kissing once more. About 15 minutes later, Deuce pulled away again.

"I got to go." She said again.

"Oh, come on." Ace said and he attempted to kiss her again.

"No. I have to go now. But remember, I'm free tonight." She said suggestively. Then, she stood up and wore her blouse once more.

"Take care of yourself, alright." He said worriedly.

"Okay." She said as she unbuttoned her blouse. Then, she gave him another kiss and then she walked out of the room. Sighing, Ace wore his top once more and he zipped and buckled his pants again. Then, he grabbed the book and continued where he left off. But eventually, sleep overcame him.

*2nd Night Terror sequence*

Once again, Ace was walking on the foggy woods and eventually he got to the meadow. He saw Deuce standing in their usual spot and when he tried to approach her, a masked man held a knife by her throat.

"ACE, HELP ME!" She yelled but now it was different; this time, the man dragged the knife by her throat and Deuce dropped to the ground, dead.

"NO!" He yelled, and they disappeared

*End of Night terror sequence*

Ace woke up screaming. Luckily, everyone was in town, as far as he heard. His heart was beating really fast, and his shirt was drenched in sweat again. He lay back down and looked at his clock. He saw that it was 5:00 PM. He stood up and took a shower. These dreams were really starting to scare the shit out of him.

Meanwhile (AN: This is the café scene.)

Deuce arrived at the café where she was supposed to meet Queen and Rem by 2:40. She spotted them talking and she approached them.

"Hey, guys. Sorry, I'm late"

"The hell were you? We've been waiting for 20 minutes." Queen demanded. But Deuce just answered that with a smile.

"Of course, you and Ace were making out weren't you?" Queen asked.

"Sorry." Deuce said with a flustered smile.

"It's alright." Rem said.

"So, what did you call me here for?" Deuce asked.

"Nine called me, said that Ace had a nightmare as well." Queen said.

"Yeah, he did. So what?"

"Machina and Nine had nightmares as well." Rem said.

"Did they tell you what they were about?"

"Machina and Nine's nightmares were about us dying. Nine said that in his dream, we were on a mission and someone stabbed me from behind. Rem told me that in Machina's dream, someone shot her point blank." Queen explained.

"Ace isn't telling me anything about his nightmare."

Deuce was jealous of Machina and Nine's honesty with their girlfriends. Despite the fact that it was Ace's first time to have the dreams, she felt hurt when he didn't want to tell her about it. Suddenly, she thought of someone who might be able to help the boys.

"I have an idea." She declared then she checked her watch and she saw that it was 3:00.

"What?" Rem asked.

"Just come with me." She said, then they stood up.

25 minutes later

The trio arrived at the Dandridge estate by 3:25 and they entered using Deuce's key.

"Mom, I'm home and I brought a few friends!"

Jill Dandridge walked up to them in surprise.

"Deuce, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"It's a holiday. Mom, these are my friends Queen and Rem."

"Oh, hello. I'm Jill Dandridge." She said and held her hand out.

"Hello, Ma'am." Queen said and they shook hands, same with Rem.

"Mom, where's Rain? We need to talk to her." Deuce stated.

"In the parlor, playing the piano." She said then she walked towards the kitchen.

"Let's go." Deuce said.

They headed towards the parlor and they saw Rain playing 'First Love' (2) on the grand piano. When she finished, she turned around and she saw them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?"

"We need to talk to you." Deuce said.

"Why?" Rain asked.

"Ace, Machina and Nine are having Night terrors every night and we're really worried. We were hoping that you could maybe talk to them and know what their problem is." Rem explained.

"Okay, fine, just try and bring them here tomorrow. I'll see what I can do." Rain said.

"Thanks." Deuce said.

"Now, go on." Rain said.

"Bye."

The three walked out of the estate and headed back to the Peristylium.

"Well, at least, we got that solved. What time is it?" Rem asked.

"3:55, and how is it solved?" Queen asked.

"Okay, maybe not really solved."

55 minutes later

When they arrived, Queen, Rem and Deuce decided to head for the library to do some research. Deuce checked her watch and saw that it was already 5:00. With nothing to do anymore, she decided to head back to the dorms. When she got there, she saw Machina sleeping on the couch. She headed to Ace's room and she knocked on the door. The door opened and she saw Ace. He was wearing a white shirt, jeans, and black socks.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hi."

"Come on in." He said and he opened the door wider.

She entered and he wrapped his arms around her.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, how about you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had another nightmare."

"You want to talk about it?" She asked him.

"No. Don't worry, I'm fine." He replied.

"I got to take a shower." She said then she pulled away and headed to the bathroom with her clothes. Ace could tell that she is either worried or mad at him.

When they had dinner, Deuce hardly ever talked, which is very unusually because she always participated in their talks and this happening just made him more worried. When they were going to bed, Ace finally asked her;

"Is something bothering you?"

"Not really. Rem and Queen told me that Machina and Nine had nightmares too. They said that in their dreams Rem and Queen were killed." She explained.

Ace's eyes widened with surprise. Luckily, he was facing away from he so she didn't see it.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah."

"So, how does it bother you?" He asked.

"Nothing." She said and the she walked out of the room, slamming the door behind her (AN:Uh-oh, couple's first argument).

'Okay, she's clearly pissed at me.' Ace thought and followed her.

Deuce sat on the couch, looking depressed. She was trying to keep the tears from falling, but she was failing miserably. Luckily, everyone was asleep, so no one would see her in her current state. Suddenly, Ace sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. Deuce began to cry and asked him:

"Why won't you tell me what's wrong?"

"Deuce, I'm sorry, okay. I'll tell you about my dreams soon, I promise. Just please don't cry, I can't stand to seeing you cry. I just didn't want you to see me as a weakling who got shaken up because of a bad dream."

"Okay, I'm just worried about you."

"Don't be, alright. Everything's going to be fine. Come on, let's go to bed." Ace said and they stood up and headed back to the room. Ace locked the door and when Deuce faced him, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her very passionately and she kissed him back with equal passion. After a few seconds, Ace pulled away.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"It's okay." Deuce said.

Ace kissed her again and she kissed back. Ace carried her to the bed bridal style and lay her down. Deuce took his shirt off and he unbuttoned her blouse. Ace pulled away once more.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes."

Ace kissed her once again. They went under the blanket and they made love (3) like they did during their prom night (4). Afterwards, Ace held her tightly against him and she kissed him again on the lips.

"I love you." He reminded her.

"I love you too." She replied and he gave her another kiss. She pulled away and laid her head on his chest and he gave her a kiss in her forehead and they fell asleep.

*3rd Night terror sequence*

Once again, Ace was walking in the foggy woods. He knew it was a dream but he couldn't wake up as much as he tried to. Eventually, he got to the meadow. When he saw Deuce, he immediately ran to her but once again, the masked man held a knife to her throat and slit it open. This time, Ace got really mad and attacked the person but he was easily defeated. He crawled to Deuce's body as the said man left. He cradled her and saw her beautiful face covered with blood. He cried as the scene before him disappeared.

*End of Night terror sequence*

Ace bolted upright once again. Deuce woke up by the sudden movement.

"Ace, what is it?"

"Another Night terror."

"Tell me, please. I thought we promised we were going to be honest with each other." Deuce said. Ace knew what she meant; a few days back, Deuce made Ace promise that he should be honest with her and she'll be honest with him. Sighing, Ace began to tell her his dreams which scared Deuce a bit.

"I don't know what triggered these dreams." He said.

"Ace, it's okay, I'm still here, I'm not dying."

"It's just- I can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen." He said.

"Nothing bad is going to happen, Ace. Please stop thinking that way, you're scaring me." She said.

Ace hugged her and said:

"I'm sorry, okay. Don't worry about me.

"Ace, I…I think you should go talk to Rain about this." Deuce suggested.

"What?" He asked.

"Rain is a trained psychologist. She might be able to help you and the others."

"If you can get her to do that, then why not?" He said.

"Actually, we already did. She said bring you guys there tomorrow."

Ace hesitated on taking up the offer.

"Please, for me."

"Okay, fine." Ace said. He was grateful that Deuce did that for his sake.

"Thank you." She said and she gave him a kiss. Ace wrapped his arms around her and they lay back down. Ace gave her a kiss in her forehead and they fell asleep once more.
