Title: Nightmare.
Part: I
By Lylou
Chris was almost dressed when she listened her beeper in the basement loneliness.
"What are you wearing?"
She smile softly for herself and remembered why she was messed up and half dressed, it had spent two weeks since the first night that they had slept together and she still didn't even have herself habitual to awake accompanied.
But besides, she missed him.
Chris tried to remember when was the last time before Hook that she had slept whit a man…no one after "him"…
A chill raised by her spine when she remembered those days, the sadness, the pain, the rage….and above all, the fear.
But all was different now, she was different…and Hook…
He makes her life better…in the way in which the love would have to be ….not like "him".
Chris was lost in her thoughts and she didn't notice that the number of the message in her beeper wasn't Hook's number.
The elevator doors opened at the first floor and Chris saw the last person she thought that she will be see again in her whole life.
-Hi baby…Do you miss me?
-Danny…..
What are you doing here?
-I have come for you.
-What do you want?
-Nothing …I just…..miss you.
-You must have thought it before.
-Well….I think it now.
-I don't care Danny…look, I don't want to be crude but I have something to do so…
-Well Chris….I will see you later, unless you want to upset me ….and by the way…..you look wonderful.
Danny crouched until her cheek and left a cold and unwanted kiss upon her skin.
Chris felt how the air in the corridor was suddenly frozen when he approached her, she look for other people in the corridor with they….but only saw little Mary in a dark corner, looking sadly to her, she could see Mary moving her lips but she wasn't able to listen the little girl.… but Mary couldn't help her, nobody could help her…she was alone and terrified, again.
-No matter what you think baby, no matter how fast you can run or where you hide….you will always be mine.
She felt the pulse accelerated in the temples and wished to shout, but she couldn't, she only felt a strong hit on her mouth and the metallic taste of the blood by her throat before faint.
Hook awoke suddenly without knowing exactly why….he had listened Chris shouting terrified somewhere, it took him almost five seconds realizing in which was going on.
-Chris…It was only a nightmare.
She looks confessed and still scared, with her eyes wet and searching for someone invisible in the room.
-It's okay…it was just a dream.
-Yes…I…I just need a glass of water.
Before he could say something, Chris left the bed and walked until the washbasin.
She felt how her hands still shook
"Just a dream"
Had spent months from the last nightmare…. And she hadn't had any since she slept with Hook……the water of the glass overflowed in her hands.
She wasn't thirsty, she was scared.
Why a nightmare now….?
And why was Mary on it?
-Chris…are you okay?
-…yes…
She drank without desire and returned to the bed.
Under the warm and safe blankets.
Chris approached to the familiar and lukewarm body next to her, until she felt his soft breath on her air, his arm around her.
Everything was well again.
-What was about?
-What?
-Your nightmare….seemed frightful…
-It was.
-So... tell me about it.
-It's a new treatment Doc?
-Only for special patients.
Chris felt a soft kiss in her forehead, a warm and close one.
Not like "his"
-Just childish fear to the clowns…
-It was not what it seemed, I promised.
-Yeah….now you know my little secret-fear.
Chris felt his smile and approached more to him.
-Sure everything okay.
-Yes….It was just a dream…a dream can't hurt you, right?
-No…nothing is going to hurt you.
She closed her eyes again, and slowly the sleep was caching her again…but this time for first time weeks ago, she didn't think about Hook…she thought about why was Mary in her nightmare….and about Danny….
Mainly, she thought about Danny.
