"I'm sorry Abs, but I can't let you die," he told he pushed her down the hill to safety.

"Connor!" she yelled, watching from below as the Dimetroden pinned him to the ground. She turned her head around as she saw the creature go to bite Connor. It didn't matter how bad the bite was and she knew it. The bacteria in his mouth would be the real thing to kill Connor. She sunk to the ground and let the tears fall freely as the creature walked off.

Abby awoke with a start, sweaty and panting. "It was only a dream," She told herself with a sigh of relief. She reached over to grasp her fiancé's hand but was met with nothing but the cold sheets. "Co-Connor?" she whimpered.

"Connor!" she called, praying that he was just down in the kitchen getting a glass of water or something. Her only response, however, was Rex squawking, angry to be awoken from his slumber.

Abby panicked. Where was he? She crawled out of bed, shaking in her tank and knickers, the house was colder than it normally was, though it could have just been because she didn't had Connor's warm arms around her. She went to his old bedroom and wasn't surprised to find it empty. He hadn't slept in there for over a year. She took a deep breath and then went downstairs. She found the kitchen and living room empty and the tightness in her chest was empty.

Abby went over to the fridge to get a drink. When she opened it door, she noticed that the calendar there read 'Connor's stag night' over June 7th. She let out a sigh of relief and felt silly for worrying before going to bed.

She tried to drift back to sleep. However, every time she closed her eyes, she was met with Connor's death- each time more violent and bloody than the last. She shot up again and let out another sigh. Abby threw the cover off of her before going over to the phone. She listened to the ring…ring….ring…

"Abby, what's wrong?" Connor yelled into the phone. Abby could hear loud music and muffled chatter in the background.

"It's nothing now," she said glad to hear his voice. "I just had a nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep. I just rang to make sure that you were okay."

"Yeah, you sure you're okay though? You sound pretty shook up." The background noise was suddenly gone and Connor stopped shouting.

"Yeah, you have fun with the guys. I'll see you in the morning."

"You back to sleep, yeah?"

"Okay," she nodded even though she knew he couldn't see it goodnight.

"I love you Abs," he told her.

"I love you too, Conn."

"Sleep well," he told her before hanging up.

Abby hugged the phone to her for a second before hanging up. She made her way back to her room and crawled into bed. She blocked the unpleasant thoughts from her mind, thinking instead of the party that she was supposed to have the next night and the wedding that was only a month away. Soon enough, her breathing settled out and her thoughts drifted into dreams.
