The next morning Aph can smell Aaron next to her and she tries to open her eyes to look at him but for some reason, she can't. There's only darkness and it surrounds her. No matter how hard she strains she can't make anything out. Fear claws its way up her throat, fear that she's trapped, that she's lost, and that she's alone.
The faces of her friends suddenly flash before her but something about them is different and she hears Michael's evil laugh as if it's right behind her.
Spinning toward it there's nothing there and then suddenly there's Aaron yet something is different. There's no light in his eyes, no love, just anger, and hate. He steps in front of her and seizes her throat.
She claws at his hand trying to free herself as their eyes meet. She suddenly realizes it might look like Aaron but it's not him inside.
Placing his lips next to her ear he whispers. "We loved each other Irene and you betrayed me! You betrayed us all."
The sound of Aphmau's heart beating uncontrollably wakes Aaron with a start. His eyes search her face and watch her eyes as they move frantically beneath their lids and tears drip onto his chest. A dream? No, a nightmare.
Her fingers violently twitch against him as she whimpers and then suddenly cries out. "SHAD?! NO!"
Aaron cups her cheek with his left hand and places a kiss on her forehead as he tightens his arm around her. "Aph?! Shhh.... it's just a dream."
Her eyes open and he watches as they meet his. Pure fear looks back at him and she tries to pull away.
That look triggers his natural instinct to protect her and without hurting her he continues to hold her close, trying to calm her. "Aph?! It's ok. You're alright. I'll keep you safe, always."
