I awoke screaming with tears running down my clammy cheeks. Sweat covered my body as I flailed around frantically trying to fight off the demons that had plagued me in my dreams. Strong arms wrapped around me and I fought against them screaming bloody murder.  

“Lucia, Lucia my darling tis only me. I’m here with you, I’m right here.” A soft reassuring voice whispered into my ears bringing me out from the darkness of my mind. I was subdued to only sobbing clutching the Undertaker in my arms like a vice, afraid that he would disappear should I let go. He held me tighter and laid down allowing me to sob into his chest as he stroked my hair gently murmuring things of sweetness into my ears. He leaned back against the head board of the bed, just allowing me to calm down. As the last of my tears subsided I wiped my eyes and gave a small whimper of a laugh.

“I’m sorry. It was just a bad dream.”

“Don’t apologize, I’m just glad that you’re alright. When I woke up to your screams I was horrified that you were being attacked. Do you want to talk about it?” He asked still holding me, his fingers lightly tracing up and down my arms.

“I can hardly even remember what it was at this point. There was blood, so much of it. I was choking on it, the darkness was frigid and all consuming. My body felt as if it was lit ablaze, I felt nails running along my body cutting deeply into my skin. I was frozen. I was forced to endure the agony. And… there was laughter. Dark laughter that chilled you to your bones. It was all around me, sending me into my own insanity.” By the time I had finished speaking I was trembling, goose bumps had rose over my skin and I felt just as cold as I had felt in my dream.

“That’s pretty dark kitten. But with everything that’s going on I can hardly expect you to be in perfect mental health.”

I turned around and faced Undertaker at the same time I let my wings unfold spreading them as far as they possibly would.

“Will you stay with me? Even if it’s just for tonight, I don’t think I can bare to be alone and face my nightmares all over again.” I felt weak asking him, but at the same time I was too afraid to be alone.

“Of course. I’ll stay with you tonight and every night if you want me to.” He gave me one of his grins that melted my heart and made my fears dissolve. He laid down, pulling the covers open motioning for me to lay down. I smiled and folded in my wings before curling up into his side. And with his strong arms around my waist, I drifted into a peaceful slumber.

When I next awoke I felt refreshed and ready for another day. Undertaker was sleeping peacefully beside me, his arms still around my waist in a vice grip. I tried to slip out from underneath them but he just wound them around me tighter pulling me down onto his chest.

“Five more minutes darling.” He muttered under his breath still half asleep.

I bent down and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, this roused him quite quickly as he began moving his lips against mine.

I gave a little laugh, “See that seemed to get you up quite quickly.”

“Not fair.” He breathed out rubbing his eyes.

“Come on, I’m ready to begin training.” I said with childlike eagerness.

Undertaker sat up and ran a hand through his hair, yawning. “Okay, you win. But first let me fix us something to eat.”
