Christian lay on his bed next to Satine, just watching the moonlight on her face. He loved doing that, watching how the moonlight made her skin glow and even though she was a gorgeous woman, something about the moonlight made her look like a goddess. He kissed her on the cheek and settled down again next to her, wrapping his arms around Satine lovingly. Christian started thinking about what life would be like for both of them together forever, come what may. He closed he eyes and had almost drifted off to sleep into his happy dreams when he noticed something. Underneath his embrace, Satine had started moving slightly and was breathing heavily. Christian put his hand on her, with an attempt to comfort her, but to no avail. Satine began tossing and turning, twisting herself up into the sheets. With a worried look on his face, Christian tried to wake her.
"Satine" he whispered in a soft tone "sweetheart, it's alright, shhh...shhh...it's all right." To his dismay, Satine continued to thrash and started mumbling incoherently. Just at that moment Satine sat up straight in bed and screamed in a horrible high pitched tone. Christian was holding her in a moment, rocking her back and forth and whispering in her ear. When he had finally calmed her down and her breathing became normal again, he turned to her and looked into her frightened eyes, "Satine," he said "what's wrong, what were you dreaming about?" Satine averted his gaze and stared at the moonlight shining on the floor. He looked at her in confusion for a moment and stroked back her hair. He softly brought her eyes back to him and looked at her questioningly. "Satine" he said, more sternly this time "what happened." She just stared right back at him, her ice blue eyes chilling him momentarily as she answered in a dark tone.
"We have to leave now."

The next day, after Christian had left for the bakery, Satine sat herself down on the bed to think about what had happened the night before. The dream had started like a normal, wonderful, romantic dream of her and Christian. They had been walking through the park in late afternoon, enjoying the scenery and each other's company in general. They had brought along a picnic basket and were going to share a wonderful dinner together, as the sun set. They had gotten half way through their meal when Christian said that he needed to leave to get something and he would be back in a few minutes. It having been a dream, Satine accepted this statement with no questions, they kissed and Christian walked off to wherever it was he was off to.
Satine decided that sense she had a few minutes alone, she would take time to enjoy the scenery. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of dusk in the park. She listened to the birds singing their beautiful, lyrical tunes and enjoyed the last feeling of warmth the sun provided before it disappeared behind the hills. Just as she was taking in this moment, icy hands grabbed her shoulders forcefully. Satine need not turn around to know who was behind her, but the nasally voice confirmed what she was already sure of.
"At last, my dear" it spoke "I have found you. You didn't really think that I wouldn't find you, did you?" she turned around to face the Duke, with a horrified look. He glanced down at her, with an amused look on his face. "Oh, you did. How adorable." The Duke leaned down to kiss her forehead and Satine tore away from his grasp. "Christian!" she yelled, but no answer. "Christian!" she yelled louder and more frantically this time. "Don't you understand, my dear" the Duke spoke, "I own you, you are mine. You don't belong to Christian anymore; he won't come for you." A cynical smile appeared on the Duke's face. "Or mabie he will...then, I will get the luxury of eliminating that nuisance myself." At that moment, she saw Christian running towards her. Satine started to move towards him but the Duke pulled a gun out and pointed it at her, which made Christian run even faster. When he got close enough, the Duke swung the gun around towards Christian and pointed at his head. Satine tried to run to Christian, to put herself in the way of the bullet, but his words stopped her. "Satine, no!" he yelled "run, run now Satine and don't look back. Don't worry, I'll always be with you." The Duke pulled the trigger and Christian fell to the ground. She resisted the urge to run towards him, and started running away from the Duke. As Satine ran, his words echoed through her head, "You can run, Satine" he yelled after her, "But I'll always find you."
With that last remark, I woke up screaming and had to be calmed down by Christian for several minutes. After that, I couldn't bring myself to sleeping again. The nightmare was still fresh in my mind as Christian opened the door to the garret and walked over to me.
"Christian, we need to talk..." I started, but he stopped me. "No, Satine. About last night, are you sure that you want to leave? All of our friends are here...and Harold and Marie." I stood and walked quickly over to him and put my arms around his waist.
"Christian, I don't want to leave them either but...the Duke. He'll find me, he'll find us. Last night I had a nightmare where the Duke found me, he killed you and he promised that he would always find me no matter where I went. Christian, I don't want to live in this fear anymore, I want to leave." My eyes started tearing up and I dug my head into Christian's chest. Christian still looked reluctant, but I knew that if I wanted to leave badly enough he would follow me to the ends of the earth. I looked down at the floor and back to his eyes, wrapping my arms more tightly around his waist and started singing softly.
"To what do I owe this gift my friend? My life, my love, my soul? I've been dancing with the devil way too long and it's making me grow old, making me grow old. Let's leave...oh let's get away, get lost in time where's there's no reason left to hide. Let's leave...oh let's get away, run in fields of time where there's no reason left to hide." Christian kissed me softly, and I ran my fingers through his hair and continued.
"What are you going to do with your gift dear child? Give life, give love, give soul? Divided is the one who dances for the soul is so exposed, so exposed. Let's leave...oh let's get away get lost in time, where there's no reason left to hide. Let's leave...oh let's get away, run in fields of time, where there's no reason left to hide. No reason to hide."
Christian smiled at me softly and shook his head slightly. "Alright, you've won me over" he said "but where do you want to go?"
"Go?" I said, confused. I hadn't had the freedom to go wherever I chose in a long time and just the concept momentarily perplexed me.
Christian laughed quietly as he spoke, kissing my forehead. "Then I suggest we get a map."

Hope you liked it, even though it was a little shorter than usual. The song was "Hide" by Creed on their 'Weathered' CD. It's an awesome, CD, honestly go buy it.
