What dreams may come
Jack was tired beyond exhaustion but as always sleep wasn't kind to him and all he could do was to sit restlessly in the corner of his steel prison while his tormented mind relived the happenings of last days, over and over again.
He jumped slightly as the slight figure
materialized next to him.
He knew it washer and squinted trying
to see her face in greenish twilight that the room was submerged
in.
"Jack, you are exhausted" she said in her soft peaceful tone casually leaning back on the edge of steel table and as she did the dim light of the lamp hit her face revealing her eyes glittering with thousands emotions. His clouded mind couldn't decipher them so he only nodded to her in defeat, closing his eyes again.Not wanting to speak to her, not wanting anything anymore.
Juliet noticed still full plate immediately and smirked to herself slightly, she knew that in his stubborness he wouldn't eat,then she shivered at the thought of forceful ways to feed him,but she knew that now even more than sleep he needed rest.
Her
eyes rested on Jack again and at this very moment his sheer
vulnerability and exhaustion hit her making her heart melt. Her eyes
took in his pale drawn face ,his eyes glimmering with unhealthy light
of someone consumed by internal fever of despair and confusion
.
Juliet sat next to him ,sadness and love filling her at once,her
hand lightly embraced his wrist making him shudder slightly at her
touch.He hasn't recoiled from it though.He was too numb and it was
the only pleasant sensation that came to him in hours so he gave in
to her touch.
She felt blood pumping trough him in tired
waves, his mind swirling with madness and grief, depriving him of
peace and clearness.
She closed her eyes…
Jack sensed her leaning over him, faint cinamon whiff accompanying her closeness. He opened his eyes for a moment but his eyelids closed again heavily as if against his will ,eyelashes casting shadows over his cheekbones as her fingers soft and cool touched his temple.
The
world around him disappeared and inside his consciousness he saw
Peaceful Harmony of Ages: stars like diamonds in endless black satin
of skies and suns flaring like precious rubies among them.
Then
total darkness and calmness descended over him.
Juliet let her palm linger in soft caress on his cheek for one more moment ,then she rose whispering:"Sleep Dear One. Rest".
