George’s POV

             I was running frantically all over a corridor trying to find Aria. I could hear her screaming my name but none of the doors I tried opening would open. Every single one of them was locked. “George!” She screamed louder and it sounded like she was in pain.

            “Aria!” I yelled back and ran to a door I had already tried opening. It finally opened and I saw Aria in the room on the floor. She was covered in blood and she looked weak. I went over to her and touched her face; tears building up in my eyes. “Aria, you’re gonna be ok.” I told her and got out my wand. “I’m going to heal you.”

            My wand flew out of my hands and a voice said, “No you’re not.” Ropes tied around my wrists and I was pulled up. Raychel came into view and she smiled at me. “I’m glad you could make it to the show, George. It’s going to be very exciting.”

            “Let her go.” I demanded and tried to get loose from the ropes.

            “I don’t think so. I’m gonna have some fun with her.” She looked at Aria an d said, “Crucio.”

            Aria screamed with pain and I tried harder to get out of the ropes. I had to save my wife. Raychel did it to her again and Aria screamed more. “Stop!” I yelled angrily. “Leave her alone!”

            Raychel stopped and looked into my eyes. “I’m not leaving her alone until every breath in her body is gone.”

            “You kill her and I’ll kill you.” I threatened but she just laughed.

            “I want to see that.” She laughed and pointed her wand back at Aria. “Avada Kedavra.”

            “No!” I yelled but it was too late. Aria was dead.

            My eyes flew open and I was covered in sweat. I’ve had that dream all week and I was getting really tired of it. It’s been five days now since Aria and the others saved me from Raychel and that dream has been with me since Monday. I looked quickly at the girl by me and saw Aria was still asleep. I sighed with relief when I saw her breathing and I laid closer to her. Her back was towards me and she was lying on her side so I wrapped my arms around her and buried my face in her hair. I closed my eyes and took in her vanilla scent. I’ve been taking in that scent for days. I missed it so much while I was locked up. I missed her so much while I was locked up. And I missed our kids. I never wanted to be away from them again. They were my life and I swear if Raychel ever did anything to hurt them, I’d kill her.

            Aria touched my arm and rubbed it with her hand. “Are you awake?” She asked tiredly.

            “Yeah.” I kissed her head.

            She raised her head then put it back on the pillow. “It’s three in the morning, George.” She let go of my hand arm and rolled over to look into my eyes. “What’s wrong?”

            “Nothing.” I rubbed her back. “Just woke up.”

            She closed her eyes and yawned. “Did you have a nightmare?”
