The darkness of the empty roads stretched endlessly, giving a hint of uncertainties due to the heavy fog laying on the ground along with an uncomfortable silence.

He stood frozen, unable to move, watching the vision before him with helpless dread. Every part of his body weakened, consumed by grief, with nothing but sorrow weighing down his heart.

"Mom....Mom!?" He called out. His forehead covered with sweat drops and legs shaking with fear, the fear of losing a loved one.

"Rey, you are a very good boy, you have never hurt anyone in life, baby, muma loves you and always will" She said before disappearing within fog silently, like breezes dissolving inside the dence bushes.

"MUM!... MUM!" he screams his lungs out. Waking jolt awake after a number of screams. "Mum!" Ryan jumped sitting up on the bed, his breaths Changing short into pants, leaving no space for comfort.

After processing for a minute, glancing around the dim room with heavy exhales, he relieved after realising, it was the usual nightmare. Not before a minute, the door slams open revealing no other than Aaron.

He approached Ryan, only to see his body covered with sweat, Without a word, He quickly grabbed the glass of water from the bedside table handing it to Ryan.

Since the death of Ryan's mother Amanda, he started to get the panic-strickrn nightmares, which was sometimes life threatening as his heart rate gets imbalanced. Aaron was well known to this fact, but all he could do was comfort him and be there for him.

"Was it the same dream?" Aaron asked in response Ryan could just nod.

"Rony" he murmured softly. "Hmm?" Aaron gave a small nod, urging him to continue. "In the past few months, since Roselyn and I got together, the dreams have mostly stopped" Ryan admitted, almost as if surprised by his own words.

"It must be because, all you dreamed about nowadays was her" Aaron teased receiving a blank, annoyed stare from Ryan.

He cleared his throat "So why did you think the dream came back tonight?" Aaron asked, in response Ryan just shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe because, I am scared to leave her alone, suffer the uncertainties brought by my presence in her life, I failed to protect mum, but I can't afford to lose Roselyn, she is everything to me now" Tears started to form as Ryan blinked them away leaving them to be unshed as always.

"For the first one, you were just a normal student with no power back then, stop taking all the blame, and for the second one...." Aaron paused looking at Ryan with a serious expression "You have to sort it out" he completed. Ryan just nodded his head.

"So what will you do?" Aaron asked. "Distance ourselves, until my mission is over" Ryan forced those words to come out with a breaking tone.

Aaron looked at his buddy with the worry "A-are you sure" He asked. Ryan had nothing to say, so in response all he gave was a single nod. "The mission will be lengthy, will you distancing yourself can get you problems with relationship" Aaron inquired with a tone of concern.

"I'm hoping they don't find Roselyn, or get to know anything about her, about us" He said in a low voice.

After so many months, Ryan took his pill, it was a need before Roselyn's arrival in his life, but today he needed it.

"Sorry Rony, again" he said before lying down in bed trying to fall asleep. Aaron furrowed his brows "First calls me brother and then acts formally" he whispered to himself, a small smile played on his lips watching sleep engulfing his brother.

Although Aaron can't be replaced by Ryan's mother but his mother taught him how to take care of others, and it wouldn't be wrong to say, that Aaron inherited this caring and loving personality from his mother who was not his mother by blood, but loved him unlike his family treated him. That is why Aaron has so much gratefulness towards his aunt Amanda, and he owes a lot to Ryan, ending up helping him with revenge for her mother's death.

Roselyn was working on her Laptop, when a sudden wave of emptiness took over her, she quickly grabbed her phone, hitting Ryan's contact number, and making a call to him.

It took him longer than usual to pick the phone up but after a number of rings the call was accepted from the other side.

"Rose, h-how are you" Roselyn's brows shrunk in confusion, his tone felt strange, like he feared something, it was breaking. "Rey? Are you okay?" Roselyn's melodious chirps did a tingling in Ryan's chest. "N-Nothing, let's talk later, there's a client sitting right here" He said before hanging up making Rose shrug her shoulder in confusion, deep inside she felt empty like a candy was snatched from a kid. She focused herself on work.
