It was dark, yet she still could see what it's in front of her; a long grey hallway with red lights hanging on the wall on every five meters. She was walking, looking at every corner of the walls, memorizing them; her left hand slowly touched the wall with every step she made. Laura was surprised when she found it wet. She stopped and looked behind her back, the corridor disappeared. She took a deep breath and run her fingers by her hair, then she turned back and saw a man in front of her, yet she couldn't reach him. He was so close, but in the same time so far away. She heard someone called her name. She made another step; the whisper now became a quit calling, she kept walking. The man in front of her was much closer now. He was showing her something; she looked closer and saw he reached for her hand. Laura hesitated for a moment.
"Laura." She eyed at him, but he only smiled. It was some sort of friendly smile. "Trust me, they are coming! We have to hurry up."
The red lights started to blink and after the moment they blew up, which frighten her. In the same time she heard a movement, like the whole metallic army was chasing her.
The darkness was all over her; she didn't see a thing, someone was calling her name over and over again, her body shivered, the metallic's movement was just in the corner. She was standing in the same spot, afraid of taking a step. Then she heard gunfire and a red light moving from left to right. She made a few step back, but they still were closing the distance. Laura took a deep breath, when four mechanical hands emerged from the darkness and changed into the shotguns. She heard the click and then the bullets fired up.
"NOOOOO!" she heard the male voice and then she saw he covered her within his body. He felt down on the ground, the blood covered the majority of the floor. Laura fell down on her knees and started to press his chest. He looked at her, his hand found his way to her cheek; he gently caressed it, before the hand inertly felt on his chest.
Laura knelt down above him and put her hands on his chest, started to push it.
"It won't change anything. Leoben's dead."
Roslin looked by her shoulder and saw tall, young, blond woman in red dress and high-heels. She was standing in blazing light, so Laura had squint her eyes. When woman came closer she recognize in her one of Adar's aids.
"It's time Laura. They stopped only for minute, but they will come after you. We have to go." Laura stood up and looked at Tricia. "Now Laura, they are coming, I feel it. Run!"
She didn't need to be told twice; Laura walked by blond woman and went straight into light. The grey hallway disappeared and now she was in the forest. Humid breeze was dancing in her hair, the night was cloudily, however the faint moonlight was gleaming from behind the clouds. She looked around; it was warm night, she could feel it on her skin, trees were hiding behind the mist, from time to time you could hear owls and others nights' birds. Laura took a deep breath; the air was so much cleaner than on the Twelve Colonies.
Roslin stopped when she heard the same metallic's sound of robots' army. She looked back and saw nothing, and then she heard it again. This time Laura started running as quick as she could. It didn't take her long to escape before the sound, once she did, she saw familiar shape of Leoben; he was waving to her and screaming Cylons. She held her breath, her legs despite they were tired, moved once again. Left, right, left, right. Mechanical, she started to run again.
The trees ceded to the ferns and mosses, the mist and clouds disappeared. Laura looked at the sky and opened her mouth in amazed; she could see twelve constellations, each one was representing the one of the Twelve Colonies. She stopped. The wind started to dance across her skin once again, she smiled. She turned around, not really know where to go next and then she saw it; big, metallic robot with red light going from left to right and back, it hand, which had five fingers reached for her and then turned into the shotgun. She held her breath and when the Cylon fired up, she started screaming.
Laura woke up in her bed screaming; her body was covered in sweat. She stared at the ceiling for some time, taking slow and deep breaths to calm down herself. After that she sat down on the bed and saw a Bill's shape in the weak light; he gave her a glass of water and as she took it and drunk all the liquid, he put his hand upon hers.
"I thought someone tried to hurt you. You're screaming, so I came to see if you are all right."
"I… I'm f…fine. It's silly dream." She swallowed and put the glass on the small nightstand next to her king size bed. Laura realized she was holding Bill's hand; giving it lightly squeezes.
"Silly, you say? And yet you were screaming like a whole Cylon's army been after you." Adama chuckled, but when he realized her confusion, he offered her an apologizing smile and sat down on the bed.
His hand stroked her hair and then the cheek. Laura's own hands made their way by his bare chest to his hair, where first she run her fingers by his thick dark hair and then she wrapped them around his neck snuggling into his warm body. He held her close kissing the top of her head, while she pressed her cheek to the crook of his neck, her lips and warm breath on his skin; Laura closed her eyes and pulled into hers nose his very masculine scent; shaving cream with eau-de-Cologne and his sweat. She could tell that she already loved this scent.
"I… I… they were after me; they tried to kill me… I was so scared. This isn't just a dream, I know its sounds weird, but it's like a vision… In the beginning I only have been walking thought grey corridor and then the man appeared. It was at the beginning, then the dream evolved; the man died, the robots appeared and the bright light..." she muttered into his neck. "Today I came into that light and I was in jungle… the sky… there were 12 constellations of Twelve Colonies. I don't understand it!"
"Hey listen to me, it was just a dream. Pregnant women have those from time to time, and believe me the dreams don't make sense." He said to her. Bill's hand caressed her cheek, as he gently pushed her on the bed, making her go back to sleep. "It's going to be ok. No one will hurt you, Laura. I'm here. I'll take care of you."
Laura looked at him with her big green eyes, her auburn hair spread on the pillows as she moved on the bed making a place for him. She grabbed his hand, as he was about to get up.
"Bill, would you stay with me, please?" she asked.
After a moment he took a deep breath and nodded. Adama turned off the light and came into the bed; he lied down next to her. Laura smiled to her pillow as she felt the bed bended by his body; she rolled into her right side and put her head on his chest, cuddling into his.
"Goodnight Laura." He said and fall into a deep sleep.
"Goodnight Bill."
TBC :P
