Hola, muchachas. Sorry it's taken so long. Without further ado, Chapter 5!
About a fortnight later:
Dom was walking back from second watch (about 3 AM) when he saw light around the edges of his commander's door. What was she doing up so late? He tapped lightly on the door.
"Kel?" There was no answer. He tapped again, this time harder. The door, not properly latched, swung open a bit more.
As it did, the sound of screams hit his ears. "No! Please Mithros, no!" The lady knight disintegrated into harsh racking sobs, crying as if her heart would break.
Kel! He cursed himself as he ran toward where she lay slumped across her desk. He had forgotten that Numair had placed spells against eavesdropping on every room in headquarters last time he was there. He knelt next to his friend and tried in vain to wake her. She was too deep in the thralls of the nightmare. Were they always this bad? No wonder Tobe was worried. Finally, desperate enough to do anything to rouse the lady knight, he slapped her.
Keladry's eyes snapped open and she stared at him, too frightened to speak. "Oh, Kel." The sergeant reached out and pulled her into his arms. She let him, shaking uncontrollably. He rocked her gently until she fell into a deep and dreamless sleep.
