Chapter Eleven

"Nightmare"

Aelita was standing in a field of snow, throwing snowballs at her mother and father. They were throwing them back, but every snowball they threw at her missed. She managed to hit them every time, though. One of the snowballs she threw hit her father in the eye.

"Ow!" exclaimed her dad.

Everyone frowned at first, but then, they were suddenly laughing their heads off. Then, as they stopped laughing, it became dark. Aelita couldn't see a thing. She saw two bright red lights, and her mother looking out the back window of a car.

"Mommy! Wait!" she exclaimed.

"Aelita!"

But it was too late. The car drove away, leaving Aelita behind. She then heard a low growling sound. She turned around to see a gray and black wolf. It had glowing orange eyes, and in those eyes… the eye of Xana.

"No! Please! Stay away!"

The landscape disappeared, and she saw a figure standing in front of her. Where its face should have been was the eye of Xana. And in front of the figure was a blond boy with glasses.

"Jeremie!"

"Aelita!"

"Tell me, Aelita… how much do you love your boyfriend… hmm?" asked the figure, in a gravely voice.

"Don't hurt him!" exclaimed Aelita.

"Too late…" He took out a knife, and jammed it into Jeremie's chest.

"UGH!"

"NO! Jeremie!"

"Aelita… I love you."

Aelita burst into tears.

"Jeremie!" exclaimed Aelita, sitting up out of her bed. She was hyperventilating, and she was sweaty all over.

"Aelita…?" asked Jeremie, waking up.

Aelita looked at her boyfriend, and immediately started crying. She jumped onto him, threw her arms around him and sobbed.

"Jeremie!"

"What's wrong, Aelita?"

"I saw you being stabbed!"

"What?"

"Stabbed!"

"Shh! Shh! Calm down. Calm down. What are you talking about?"

"I just saw Xana, and my mother, and you being stabbed…" she sobbed.

Jeremie held onto her tightly.

"It was a nightmare. You're safe, Aelita… I'm here."

Aelita looked up at him.

"Please don't leave me, Jeremie…" she gripped his shoulder tightly.

Jeremie was shocked at this request.

"What are you talking about?"

She looked up at him, pleading.

"Please, please, don't leave me, Jeremie. I'm scared."

Another tear fell from her eye.

"Aelita… I love you. I'm not going to leave you."

He reached onto his shoulder, and took hold of her hand.

"Feel this…? I'll never let go."

He slid down, and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you, princess. I'm here to protect you."

She continued sobbing into his shoulder, and held as tightly to him as she could. Jeremie couldn't stand to see her like this. He reached toward her with his hand, and lifted her chin up.

"Hey… It's okay, Aelita. I'll never leave you. You'll always have me to protect you. I'll always love you, Aelita… no matter what. I promise."

Aelita managed a small smile before returning to her original expression. She let her head fall back down on his shoulder, and let the rest of her tears fall out.

He began caressing her back up and down until she fell asleep. Sleep began to grip him too, but he still held onto her hand.
