When The Past Calls

✦✧✦

I'm building this house, on the moon
Like a lost, astronaut
Lookin' at you, like a star
From a place, the world forgot
And there's nothing, that I can do
Except bury my love for you

The brightness of the sun, will give me just enough
To bury my love, in the Moondust
I long to hear your voice, but still I make the choice
To bury my love, in the moondust

Court of Ravenia; 1003 A.D.

Aurelia shifted and tossed in her bed as her eyes stayed scrunched shut. Her face was morphed into one of sheer agony as low whimpers left her lips.

She clutched her bed covers in her fists as terrifying images ran behind her eyelids creating a painful swirl of emotions inside her subconscious.

When the horror behind her eyes got too much for the Ravena, a loud shriek escaped her throat as she sat up straight.

Her sweat covered her body in a glimmering sheath as her breaths came out raggedly.

Her chest ached in pain and it became more difficult for her to breathe. She felt her throat become constricted and her hands started to shiver violently with panic.

She tried to pour some water for herself but the pitcher suddenly seemed too heavy for her wrists as it dropped on the floor with a loud clanking.

Aurelia groaned when that clank was followed by Adonis' cries making it evident that her restlessness had woken up the infant.

With her legs wobbling and her mind still clogged with the images from the nightmare she just had, she made her way to her son's crib.

She almost shrieked at herself when she saw her crying. Warm tears stung her eyes as she tried her best to calm him down but she just couldn't gather her bearing.

"Oh, God!" She cried out throwing her head back as she tried to control her anxious mind while slowly caressing Adonis' face because she felt like her hands were shaking too much for her to pick him up.

However, her crying while trying to console Adonis was probably not the best approach.

The door to her room slammed open as Niklaus entered with a baffled expression on his face.

The state of his hair made it evident that he had been woken up from his slumber by the raven haired queen's shriek.

"Reina, what happened?" He asked immediately when he saw her state. Worry struck him hard as Aurelia turned to him and he saw her face streaked with tears. He could swear that he saw pain in her eyes that was enough to break anyone.

"Oh, Nik, oh, thank God you're here!" Aurelia breathed as she dashed to the Original who immediately placed his hands on top of her arms.

"Reina, what is it? Did someone try to attack you again?" Niklaus questioned with worry.

She just shook her head furiously as she tried to form words.
