Dream In Peace
Jane stood on a cliff overlooking a lush, green valley. The sun peeked over the hills in the distance. A soft wind embraced her.
"Jane…"
She whirled around and her eyes locked onto Neil's. He began walking towards her, his face solemn.
"Neil?"
He stopped halfway up the cliff and brought his hand to his chest, then pulled it away. A bright blue light appeared in his hand, then disappeared into the heavens.
"Jane…"
She moved her eyes from where the light had disappeared to Neil.
"I do love you. Don't forget that."
His words echoed around her. Suddenly, a phantom tentacle appeared in the center of his chest. Jane gasped and tried to run and help him, but she was frozen. She could only watch in horror as the phantom whipped away, taking his spirit with it.
Neil's body began to fall…
… And Jane awoke with a start; along with Neil, who'd had the same dream.
While Jane waited for her racing heart to calm itself she buried her face in her hands; trying to make sense of the dream. Finally, she left the cockpit and headed for the lab.
Neil took deep breaths as the dream sunk in. He shuddered. If it was just a dream, then why had it felt so real?
Jane watched Neil from the shadows. Her heart began to tear as he pulled his knees to his chest. The Earth's light glinted off the metal on his body. Jane fought back the urge to run in there and wrap her arms around his vulnerable form, to kiss him over and over and tell him she loved him with all of her spirit. She turned and leaned against the wall beside the door. She couldn't do that. She didn't need him. She was a Proudfoot, and she wasn't going to let a dream make her forget that. 'But,' she thought as she walked away. 'if it was just a dream, then why does it feel like he's not going to be there?'
