Nightmares and Fears - Chapter 6
Eighteen walked into the room to find a sleeping Melissa and Seventeen. When the shock was gone, she ran down to Halo's room.
Halo looked up when Eighteen entered.
"Halo, come...now!" Eighteen said, an excited tone in her voice.
Halo jumped out of her bed and followed Eighteen down the hall to Eighteen and Melissa's room.
"Awww...that is so kawaii!" Halo cried when she saw Melissa and Seventeen.
"Isn't it?" Eighteen asked, then turned to Halo. "Come on, let's get out of here. Let them sleep." she said.
Halo nodded in agreement, and they left.
~*~
When Melissa woke up later that evening, the first thing she saw were Seventeen's blue eyes watching her as she slept. He smiled when their eyes met.
"Hey," he whispered.
Melissa looked at him, confused for a moment, but remembered what had happened earlier. The memory of the nightmare made tears spring into her eyes. She fought then back, not allowing then to fall.
"Hey." she whispered back, swallowing the sob that had found it's way to her throat. For some reason she wanted to yell at him to get out of her room, but deep down, she was glad he was there.
"Are you ok?" Seventeen asked as Melissa stood up and stretched.
"I'm fine." she answered quickly, then turned back to him. "Thank you, for staying with me. Um...I really appreciate it."
Seventeen stood up and walked over to her. He placed his hands on Melissa's shoulders.
Melissa looked into his eyes and thought she saw a hint of sadness. Out of pity, she allowed him to envelop her in a hug, tensing slightly.
"How long have you been having these dreams?" he asked.
Melissa's heart dropped when she heard him ask that, and she tensed a little. "Seventeen, please don't do this..."
Seventeen pulled away to look down at her. "I'm worried about you Mel," he said, wiping a stray tear that had escaped off her cheek, "please...tell me."
Melissa's bottom lip quivered as she thought back to when her personal hell started.
"I...I'm not sure," she answered, her voice wavering a little, "I think about a month...maybe a little bit longer."
A sudden realization came over Seventeen. It was just over a month ago that he started expressing his feelings towards her. What if he had something to do with it?
"Please don't tell the others." Melissa said to him. "There's no need for anyone to be worried. They're just dreams." She went to walk away, but Seventeen held onto her arm.
"Melissa...please!" he said, Melissa could sense the pain in his voice. "These aren't just dreams. Something is wrong. I can't not be worried. I care too much about you to just let it go. Not after what happened. Not after seeing you so disturbed."
Tears started trickling down Melissa's face when she saw the look in his eyes.
"Seventeen, please stop it. Don't do this." her voice started wavering again as her lip quivered.
Placing his hands on her face, Seventeen wiped away her tears. "Please stop pushing me away?" he said, drawing her closer.
This time Melissa didn't resist or tense up. She needed to be hugged. She rested her head on his chest and cried.
At that moment, Seventeen took a chance. As he gently tilted her head up, he brought his face down to hers. Just as their lips brushed, Seventeen went reeling back. He looked at Melissa, anger flashing in her eyes, and brought his hand up to where she punched him.
'For a person with almost no fighting ability, she sure can punch hard." he thought, staring at Melissa, who angrily glared back at him.
"How dare you!" she yelled, then ran from the room.
"Melissa...wait..." Seventeen called and ran out after her, but she was gone.
Halo came running out of her room. When she saw Seventeen she ran to him. "What happened?" she asked.
Seventeen shook his head. "I screwed up." he answered, "That's what happened."
Halo was about to ask something when an ear piercing scream rang through out the house. Seventeen and Halo looked at each other a moment, then ran downstairs.
They ran into the front hall to see Eighteen and Trunks pushing the door closed, which was trying to be pushed open by something outside. Melissa was in the bathroom freaking out.
"Guys...a little help!" Trunks yelled to them.
Halo and Seventeen ran to help push the door.
When Seventeen looked through the little peep hole to see who they were keeping out, his heart stopped. Melissa's words from earlier rang in his ears.
'He's coming for me...he's going to get me.' her voice whispered in his mind.
"Super Seventeen is what she's been dreaming about..." Eighteen revealed as she struggled to keep the evil android out, "At night, I hear her begging him to let her go..."
Suddenly, a large hand reached through the door and wrapped around Halo's wrist. A moment later both she and Super Seventeen were gone.
"HALO!" Trunks yelled, slamming his fists into the door.
"Freaking out won't help her Trunks." Paraffmon said, trying to calm him down.
Seventeen turned to Eighteen, his anger rising.
"Super Seventeen." he hissed, "She's been having nightmares about Super Seventeen. You knew, and you didn't even tell me!"
Seventeen and Eighteen stood there, locked in a staring contest. Tension filled the air as silence fell. The silence was broken by the soft clicking of the bathroom door opening. Melissa crawled out, pale, puffy eyed, tear streaked, and trembling.
"Is he gone?" she whispered.
"He took Halo." Paraffmon said.
Melissa curled up into a ball, weeping as she rocked back and forth.
