My thoughts race and I am breathing heavy. Fuck. Another nightmare. Another moment away from Eric--- I just can't take this.

Why must this be my fate?

Fate.   Fate... Eric.

All my body craves is his touch again. It must have been so many hours since I've seen him.

Knocks on my door that were not so loud and now... There is banging on my door.

I want to cry out and scream, but I know this is unwise.

Before I can even open my mouth, the door swings open revealing---

Eric! I wanted to yell. I look into his eyes. He looked dead inside.

He too was drenched in sweat.
He comes into my room and three other people follow him.

Eric is staring at me hard and cold. He feels so distant.

One of the other soldiers come from behind him. A cocky smirk forms onto Eric's face.

"She's the one?" one of them ask.
Eric nods, "Grab her." He stares at me one more time and turns away without another glance spared.
I try running past them to the open door--- My arm is grabbed.

"Where do you think you're going?" Eric pauses" "You damn American bastard." he grits his teeth hard and gives me an ugly look.

Fear fills me. I start to shake.

I let out a shriek and try to pull from Eric's clutches. "Please!" I yell. "S-spare me!" I cry out.
