A Collection Of Stars-
Chapter 7-Nightmare
Even with Anastasia by his side in Storybrooke, Will still suffers from the nightmare's that follow him since Wonderland.
Even now when she sleeps next to him and he sees her every morning cuddled around him like she used to be Will thanks his lucky stars.
He remembers what it was like, the first few months where she wasn't around. He remembers the desperation and the alcohol and the never ending worry that wherever she was it wasn't with him, he was no longer there to trade his mindless, endless, worthless life for hers in a millisecond.
Then there had been a portal. The shattered sight spell, Ana.
Will had all but fallen to his knees and sobbed when he was helping in the aftermath of the curse in the Town Hall and Ana walked in in her red travelling outfit looking confused and terrified.
But that didn't mean the nightmares had stopped. Not even the endless, glorious three months they had had together, some days not even leaving their bed, had been enough to banish the feeling that something was desperately wrong. Because Will Scarlett was not a hero, and only the heroes deserved the happy endings.
And the nightmares always included the same man.
Jafar.
Because even in his hauntings he could never escape that damn genie, he could never see past the hell that was inflicted every time he shut his eyes and saw that malicious little smile.
And it always started the same way.
He and Ana had just pulled apart the need for breathing more important though Will couldn't think why. He couldn't think why he would need air when he had Ana. Even through bars this was better than anything he could have ever imagined.
How the hell had he thought himself capable of living without this?
Only in this world it was better and God Will couldn't be happier.
And then Jafar had appeared roughly grabbing her taking her out of Will's line of sight and he struggled to keep up, to follow. To never let her out of his sight again.
Then Jafar pulled out something white, silver, pointy and sharp and Will felt his newly attached heart break and shatter. He felt himself hyperventilate and he felt every muscle in his body contract. .
She didn't make a sound when he stabbed her he realised. She didn't take his eyes off him and she didn't even seem to blink. It was like Ana had realised that whatever was gonna happen she wasn't surprised it was happening.
Will on the other hand felt like his heart had been crushed again.
He was screaming and begging and pleading-he thought-he wasn't sure what was happening, couldn't understand what he was saying all he could see was Ana's sweet smile and her eyes wide and all he could feel was his heart breaking and the tears running down his face…the longing to just reach out and touch her…to make sure that she was still alive…to beg and plead with her to stay with him…
And that was when Will Scarlett woke up with a scream.
There was movement to the left of him and he turned around to see Ana watching him her eyes wide and horror filled. "Will?" she asked and suddenly Will moved so fast that he was a blur.
He barely made it to the bathroom before he threw up violently. He reached repeatedly and he felt his face screw up when he felt Ana slip her arms around him. She had turned to pass him a glass of water her face white with worry and Will sipped at it. Swallowing bile he looked down to see Anastasia watching him her eyes wide.
And then he broke.
He sobbed like hell curling himself around Anastasia feeling her whole body contract as he rushed to feel her close to him feel that she was alive.
"It's ok" she whispered pressing a kiss to his ear (the only place she could reach) and Will sighed into her wishing the nightmare away.
"I'm here" she whispered and Will nodded inhaling that vanilla scent that was Anastasia and the coconut shampoo she used and he used it to ground himself, to calm down and he took deep heavy breaths.
"Stay" he crooned and Anastasia nodded cuddling up close to him "I will never leave you again" she promised and Will smiled closing his eyes, the emotions and the adrenaline, and the anguish catching up with him.
"I love you" he said under his breath and Ana nodded smiling that smile that all those years ago in Sherwood he had fallen in love with. "I love you to Will" she said smiling brightly "No matter what I promise you I will never leave you"
Will smiled against the curve of her neck leaning back against the white bathtub closing his eyes his hands shaking.
"Will" Anastasia said gently pulling him up by the hand "Let's go back to bed"
Will swallowed the bile rising in his throat at the thought of going back to bed but Anastasia smiled again and held out her hand and like always Will was completely powerless to her.
"Come on then" he said already bracing himself for the night that would follow. God she must think that he was really pathetic.
However he was surprised when he turned to see their bedroom ceilings covered in little stars and conciliations. Slowly Ana leaned over to him her hair covering her face "I named them all Will"
Smirking she turned around burying herself under the covers and Will-taking a moment to marvel at the wonder of this woman smiled reaching out to hold her close to him.
And that night no more nightmares ever troubled him again.
And I will try to update soon
Next Chapter-Will lets Emma take Anastasia and Elsa shopping for modern clothes-all goes well until Emma gets an idea that might change Will's life for the better.
