            Unlike Nikolai, Rose's night wasn't dreamless. First she was with Nikolai and they were in front of the court debating their crimes. In an instant a gunshot rang out in the court, everything going silent. When she looked to her side Nikolai wasn't there anymore it was her mother, a hole in her head. Her mother lay motionless on the floor blood oozing out of the wound. Then Rose felt a tap on her shoulder and behind her was a man she thought she knew but she just didn't know from where she knew him. He raised his arm and a gun was pressed to Rose's head. The man had a twisted smile on his face as he pulled the trigger. Before the bullet hit her, she woke up in a mess on the floor. She resisted the urge to scream as fear washed over her. she calmed down, the fear of another nightmare enabling her to sleep. She stood up and lit a few candles. It was about three in the morning. Normally she would be out on patrol but tonight she couldn't find the will to leave her home. She sat in the dim room wishing, waiting for the sun to rise and wipe away the darkness around her.
