Hannah thrusted her body this way and that, in what felt like an un-winnable fight.

Her breath was constricting in terror, as she struggled against Garth who had his hands clenched around her neck. There was nothing she could do except just stare up into her oppressor's glowing eyes, boring down like lasers.

Hannah forced her jaw open to scream, but no sound came from her parted lips, no matter how hard she strained her vocal chords.

No clear thoughts came to her head, but she darkly figured that if sound was able to come out of her mouth, she would beg Garth to kill her now and end this torment.

Suddenly though, out of the background, other voices began to become audible to her. They started soft, and gradually became louder than the thoughts smashing around in her mind.

In a last attempt to cry for help, she screeched out.

"HELLLPPP!"

This time the high pitched sound of her own scream was heard loud and clear. As if a lever had been switched in her mind, Hannah's body and consciousness acknowledged a different place.

She was in the same room, yes, but it was completely different. Every candle was burning in the bedroom, and she was surrounded by multiple familiar faces, all wracked with panic.

"HANNAH it's ok, it's ok, you're ok," Jess consoled vigorously as Hannah awoke from her episode. Jess held her as the screams subsided.

Elsa and Anna sat on the bed as well, attempting to comfort the girl in anyway possible.

"Shhhh..." Anna consoled gently, laying her head sweetly on Hannah's shaking back.

Benji sat hunched over slightly on the side of the bed facing the girls. A pained expression graced his features as if he couldn't bare to see Hannah in such a state.

Kristoff stood holding Olaf's hand, watching the scene unfold quietly from the bedpost.

Hannah looked up at Jess frantically, then at Elsa, then at Anna. "B-bu-t.. Ga-arth he's h—"

"No sweetheart, Garth isn't here and he never was. You were having a night terror."
Elsa began to explain soothingly.

Hannah's fear got the best of her, and it prevented her from being totally convinced.

She grabbed Jess's shirt to pull her down towards her face. "He was going to kill me, then you." She whispered gravely.

Jess sat back up grimacing. Her face softened quickly, as if she had ditched her own fear completely. "Don't be scared. this is the first night since we were captured," she then smirked childishly, "and if one of us had to get traumatized, I'm just glad it wasn't me."

Jess had rolled the dice by making this quip, since this was not the particular time or place for jokes, but she knew it was worth it when Hannah cracked a small smile.

"I love you." Hannah said melting into the embrace.

"I love you too." Jess smiled.

"Awww warm hugs!" Olaf bellowed from beside the bed. He threw himself at the girls, successfully joining the hug.

"What do you say we all go downstairs and have some hot chocolate?" Anna suggested grinning wide, as if just speaking the word chocolate gave her a sugar high.

Elsa looked at her smugly. "Anna it's got to be 4 in the mor—"

The covers from the bed were suddenly flung up in the air and landed over Elsa's head, completely covering her, as Jess promptly shot out toward the door, dragging Hannah steadily behind her.

Against Elsa's protests, the group now sat in the dining room, pouring steaming hot cocoa into each of their mugs.

"Oooh do we have marshmallows?" Anna asked more to herself than anyone else, and pushed back her chair, scurrying back into the kitchen.

"Hannah, what exactly happened in your dream?" Benji asked slowly, since the event was still new and painful.

The tone of the room became tense once again, as Hannah cleared her throat uncomfortably.

"I was trying to fall asleep, and then as I was drifting off, Garth was there choking me..." Her voice quivered, and she blinked back tears hard before continuing. "He has his hands around my neck and I couldn't breathe or move, all I could do was just look into his sickening eyes. It went on for awhile, and he told me he is right to hunt me... and then I woke up." Hannah said looking down at her lap defeatedly. She had purposefully left out the part about her not belonging anywhere, since it was too sensitive and touchy a thought and she didn't want it to be revealed to her friends.

Elsa laid her hand on top of Hannah's softly. The girl looked up to meet her ocean blue eyes.

Hannah smiled despite the raging storm inside her mind. She had in that moment, thought of herself as a little girl, longing everyday for this. Clutching onto the dream.

And now she finally had it. But at what cost?

Hannah figured she had so many things mentally wrong with her, what was one more trauma?

Although, she couldn't help but think about how hard Garth's fingers felt as they dug into her. Her gut kept telling her it really happened, even though her mind was reassuring her it didn't. She had never imagined she'd be having such vivid nightmares while living her wildest dreams.

"Found them!"

Hannah was shook from her thoughts suddenly by Anna's voice echoing from the kitchen entryway.

The princess came over to the table and plopped a big bag of marshmallows in the center of it.

"And Hannah gets the first one." She smiled brightly, enough to lift anyone's spirits no matter what condition they were in.

"It's a bit too late for that..." Kristoff pointed out amusedly at Jess, who had somehow already managed to stuff three of the gooey white treats into her mouth in the thirty seconds that they had been on the table.

Jess looked around sheepishly, "Ithodusbwecoulshebtakesjrome." she mumbled Incoherently with her mouth full.

The room broke out into roaring laughter, including the stoic guard that stood watchfully by the doorway.
