I'm up in Moonlight's and I's room, trying to get some sleep after the day I've had. But I can't help but feel that I'm being watched. I get out of bed and grab a knife from my set. I hear a soft cough from the corner.

I get ready for a fight. I yell and charge at who ever or what ever is other there. Suddenly, a hand shoots out and grabs my hand that the knife is in. I try to twist out of it's grip, but it is too strong. Tears start flowing down my cheeks as I raise my other hand to protect my baby.

The hand let go of mine and who ever it is slams their lips onto mine. The lips are soft and taste almost sweet. The lips of my dream guy.

Soon, who ever pulls away and lets my hand go. My heart beat is going crazy. I can feel it beating in my chest.

"Please, before you go: tell me your name," I beg the person.

"Call me the Red Hood, and I'm not going anywhere tonight," the person, Red Hood, says as he sweeps me off my knees and carries me to my bed. In the dim light, I make out a red helmet over Red's face, but I don't mind. I'm in the arms of an angel as I fall asleep with Red Hood's arms wrapping around me.

I dream about that week that I spent lock away in Bunker 8 with Moonlight.

(Nightmare)

I felt the blood run down my face and drop onto the floor where there was a blood pool. Moonlight was chained next to me. I heard the door open with hang as it hit the wall.

"My loves, I'm back," George Drakan shouted down to us. He came down the stairs and walked over to us. He cupped my face in his hands and tried to kiss me. I pulled away, showing my teeth at him and tried to bite him again.

"Now, now, that was very bad, my sweet. And you know what that means," George said, then back handed me across my cheek. I felt myself bite the inside of my cheek and taste the blood that came from it.

"Go to Hades!" I shouted than spat blood in his face.

"You shouldn't have done that," George shouted and picked up a huge axe and raised it over Moonlight's head.

Then he brought it down. But Moonlight was already free of her chains and was able to move out of the way in time.

George roared and and raised the axe again, this time over me. Than he brought it down.

I tried to move out of the way, but I couldn't move very much. The axe's blade ran down the left side of my face. Than George shifted his weight and the axe dug deeper under my face.

"STOP!"Moonlight shouted and pulled George away from me. The axe pulled out of my skin and I felt the pain of the wound. It felt like burning got knife was stuck in my cheek and I tasted the blood the flowed into my mouth from the wound. I fell to the floor, curling into a ball.

(Nightmare ends)

I wake up screaming and hitting. Red Hood is still next to me and wakes up when I start hitting him. He catches my hands in one of his big ones and sits up to put his arms around me.

I pull away from him, with what I know is a scared look about me. Red Hood puts his other arm around me and it calms me instead of making me flinch.

"I'm right here, Emma. Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm around," Red Hood says and a part of his mask moves to show his lips. He kisses me on my scar and disappears in with a puff of smoke. I lean back against the pillows and think about my Red Hood.
