*2 Nights Later*

Him

Her chest rises and falls as she breathes slowly, in and out. Her arms are wrapped around around a pillow, fingers clutching on for dear life. Her brown hair is spread out on her purple pillow case, and I smile a bit seeing a worn out teddy bear laid next to her.

My head perks up when she lets out a small mewl,her face scrunching together. My eyebrows knit together and I push myself off the wall, hurrying over to her side of the bed. Her body starts to shake and I crouch down, close to her delicate face.

" N-no...leave me alone!" She whimpers and I grow worried, seeing her start to shake.

She suddenly lets out a shrill scream. My eyes widen and she starts crying, tears rolling continually down her cheeks. I place a hand on her head and closes my eyes, seeing what she's dreaming.

"Luke-! It hurts!" She sobs and my hands start to shake when I see Ethan, the main leader of the demon clan, getting into her head.

He's burning her.

She shrieks again making me jerk my hand away, I can't bare to see it anymore. I slide in next to her and wraps my arms around her waist, pulling her body close to my chest. I press a hard kiss to her forehead and leave my lips there for a moment, until she gasps and her eyes shoot open in fear.

She starts to try to push at my chest, thinking it's the mystery man from her dream, but when she looks up she sees bright blue. She stops struggling and her bottom lip wobbles and she lays her head on my chest. She sobs again and her hands grip tightly onto my black t-shirt.

" I-it hurt, why did-" She didn't finish as she let out another sob.

" It's okay. Felicity, I'm here its alright." I hush,squeezing her tightly, but not enough to hurt her.

She continues to cry for a few more minutes, and I let her. Knowing she's completely terrified of what she just experienced. She sniffs before she looks back up at me, a small frown on my face.

" What was that?" Her voice is hoarse, and sounds painful. I shake my head at her and her eyes widen. She starts pulling away again and I frown, wanting to keep her in my arms.

" You-you were there. Who was that? Why was he hurting me?!" She shrieks, her voice trembling. I stand up and try to hold her again, only for her to flinch away.

" Luke..." She whimpers and my heart breaks at the sound. She's scared.

She's scared of me.

Her

My heart is racing, whole body is shaking and I feel like I going to faint. I was sleeping when all of sudden I feel a burning sensation and I look up to see black orbs staring at me with a sinister smile. I look down to see flames licking at my body and I scream in pain. Hot tears start falling and I try to call anyone's name, but the first think that comes out of my mouth is

"Luke!!" I shriek in pain.

Suddenly the pain is gone. I gasp and my eyes shoot open. I see arms wrapped around me and I try to get away, thinking it was the man who set me on fire, only to look up and realize it's him. My heart jumps and his blue eyes look into my own with such concern, I melt into his arms.

I let out and sob and he cradles me in his chest, my figure gripping onto his black shirt.

I remember my dream and pull back. " What was that? " I ask, my voice hurts.

His lips turn into a frown and he shakes his head. I pull away and stand up, holding my arms to chest to calm myself down. He stands up and takes another step near me and I shrink back.

" Luke..." I whimper and his face falls. His skin turning impossibly more pale.

" Felicity, please." He says, his voice husky, but gentle. He says my name and I swallow hard, it rolls off his tounge like rain droplets running down the glass window on a rainy day. Smooth and without a flaw in sight.

" Why were you there..why did- why are you even here?! Who are you?!" I scream at him, extremely frightened and upset.

I'm all alone with a boy I don't even know and he's in my bedroom.

I close my eyes and bite my lip, walking backwards. I let out a small noise when my back huts the cold wall, and wait.

Wait for him to touch me, and for it to burn.

My lips parted when I only felt a soft, almost nonexistent touch on my left cheek. I open my eyes little, to see Luke staring at my face. He hesitates, but places his hand fully on my cheek, rubbing small circles with his thumb. I gulp before looking up at his eyes, to already see him staring at me.

I hiccup and feel more tears fall, and he quickly wipes them.

"You have to trust me." He whispers.

My face heats up and my bottom lip quivers again. His hands move from my face to my wrists, and gently wraps his fingers around them. I shake my head but he pulls them away, and entwines my fingers with his own.

I gasp when a sudden warmth fills my entire body. It's happneing again. Whenever I touch him, I'm not afraid anymore.

I feel safe.
