Chapter 2 - Visions in the Night
He was having nightmares again.
Emma was sitting at the edge of her bed when the sudden realization hit her. And the next minute, she suddenly felt cold and she saw the vision he was seeing.
Jesse was walking around the Sanctuary, except the whole place was completely destroyed. There were broken glasses everywhere; the computers were smashed into bits, and even the lab was thrashed.
His eyes, and also Emma's eyes, fell on the limp body of Adam. And Shalimar. And Brennan. Jesse fell down on his knees, and was crying softly. "What have I done?" he asked himself.
Then, a different vision flashed in her mind. Jesse was strapped to a chair, and a knife was being sliced through his arm while he screamed in agony.
Emma let out a scream, as she felt a stinging sensation on her arm. When she looked down at her arm, she saw it was a little red although there was no gash. She took deep breaths to calm herself down, and for the stinging to go away.
And then, from his room, a scream rang out.
Emma ran to his room, throwing open the door. "Jesse!" she cried out, kneeling beside his bed, and cradling him in her arms. "Wake up, it's a dream," she called gently shaking him.
But right then, another vision flashed in her mind.
She saw herself, through Jesse's eyes as he held her dead body. There was a gash on her neck, and blood trickled down her shoulder, dropping onto the floor. Jesse was sobbing, his tears falling on Emma's face.
The real Emma gasped at what she had just seen.
"Jesse, I'm here. I'm still alive," she whispered to him, her heart beating fast. "Jesse! Wake up, it's just a dream!" she cried frantically.
Jesse's eyes flew open. "Emma," he murmured.
She smiled down at him. Sweat dotted his forehead, that his bangs were plastered on his forehead. Emma pushed them away, and lightly caressed his face. She used her telepathy to make him think he was in a much cooler place.
His heart was beating fast but within a few minutes, it slowed down to its normal rate just as his breathing calmed down. He looked up at her, and their eyes locked. Emma half-expected that she would see another vision, but she didn't.
And she was glad.
"What happened?" Jesse asked, clearly confused. He pushed himself to a sitting position, and looked back at Emma. "I had dream."
Emma looked into his eyes. "I know, Jesse. I know."
Jesse's eyes dilated, and the edges of his eyes crinkled. "Did you see?"
Emma nodded slowly, taking her gaze off of him. She recalled the destroyed Sanctuary, the dead bodies of Adam, Shalimar, Brennan and hers. Was it some sort of premonition?
"It was what I had to live through when Sheila-" he broke off, rubbing his hands on his face to rid the sleepiness.
"I understand," Emma murmured softly.
"It's weird, isn't it?" Jesse began. "I don't know.if, well, Sheila did that to us but then she also helped us."
Emma looked at him. "You don't know if you should feel grateful for Sheila or not?" she asked, with a wry smile. And when Jesse nodded thoughtfully, Emma said gently, "We should be grateful, Jess. If it weren't for her, we'd be dead by now."
A pained looked came over Jesse's eyes. He reached out and caressed Emma, pulling her closer to him. "I almost lost you," he whispered to her, his voice husky with emotion.
Emma looked at him. "Jess, I'm okay now. Everything's going to be okay."
"It has to be," Jesse murmured gently. "I can't imagine my life without you."
"I'll always be here, Jess," Emma replied as their faces drew closer. She found his other hand and she clasped it tightly. "I couldn't leave you."
"Emma," he whispered as their lips met. The kiss was gentle at first, both of them savoring each other. Jesse's hands wrapped around her waist, drawing her closer to him. Emma's wrapped around his neck, caressing him. Then the kiss became more demanding, both of them yielding to this wave of passion that overwhelmed them, and Jesse lowered Emma onto the bed.
