Aliyah woke, cuddled into Paul's side, on a sand dune. She wouldn't have gotten up, but she felt a sense of fear due to the immense silence surrounding her.

She peeled herself say from his embrace, and Chani put her finger to her lips to the both of them. Aliyah glanced at Paul, clearly scared.

Danger was coming, that Aliyah could tell, but who. Harkonnens probably, she thought to herself. Her and Paul slightly sat up on their stomachs, watching the Fremen scatter from the sand dune.

Chani began to climb the dune, revealing Jessica who was behind her. Jessica signed "danger" to the two. Aliyah gave a look of fear to Stilgar who was on her left. He gave her a comforting look, before saying "stay here".

But Aliyah didn't want to stay there, if they did, they'd probably die. Most Fremen ran, hiding, waiting to attack. They caught a glimpse of some Sardauker troops, along with some Harkonnens.

Aliyah whimpered, she believed she would die, right there and right then. Paul them grabbed her hand, yanking her up, as Jessica stood too. They ran into a small cave, trying to conceal themselves.

Paul sat in front, keeping a watch to see more soldiers. He heard some tell out, and quickly leaned back against the wall, pulling an upset Aliyah with him too.

They watched the Harkonnens walk down the dune, fear moving around their bodies. Paul looked out once more seeing a Harkonnen walk closer to the tiny cave.

He felt a big rock under the sand and picked it up, and was ready to use it as a weapon. Just then a thumper went off, which turned the Harkonnens the other way.

The Harkonnens used air suits to climb up the rocks, and shooting the thumper, making it stop. Paul grabbed his girlfriends hand, and began to run up the rocks with her and his mother. They didn't make it far as dead Harkonnens started falling from the top of the rocks.

They landed hard and fast, the three jumped against the rocks, shielding themselves from the heavy bodies.

One however landed, but was not dead, he pulled out a sword, waiting to catch Fremen. Aliyah held in a cry, surely now their time would end, with no weapon's at all.

The man turned and saw the three standing at the rocks, Paul however had spotted a knife nearby and ran for it, getting it just in time. He began fighting with the man, and eventually killed him, stabbing him in the stomach.

Paul breathed loudly, and Aaliyah sighed in relief, however, a Harkonnen voice was standing on the top of the rocks, about to shoot him.

"Paul!" Aliyah yelled, getting his attention as he turned to see the man.

Just as he was about to shoot, Aliyah hit him hard on the back of the head with a large rock, once he fell, hitting him again, breaking his suit.

Jessica ran down, as well as Aliyah, scolding him for having his back to the enemy.

However, his attention was on Aliyah, who walked towards him slowly, silently crying. He knew why. She had just killed someone, and was not even used to violence.
