Loving An Assassin |Thane Krios|

Nightmare. 06

Later that night, I had finally gotten over my high school girl drama and fallen asleep.

Dream

I was running from something in the forest. "Wait" I thought to myself "I know this place. These are the same woods that the orphanage was placed in." The footsteps behind me were barely audible, meaning whoever it was had training, or was light. I finally stopped and turned around. "Thane?" That's all I was able to say before I was stabbed in the stomach. This was the Thane I had first met. The one who was merciless and calculated. Before the sudden bond. I grabbed onto his forearm as he twisted the blade. "Thane, it's Anna. Why the hell are you doing this?" I could feel myself collapsing as I bled out. Thane pulled the knife out and said "you will never be my Siha. I don't know what the hell kind of creature you are, but you can stop mimicking something you know nothing of. You're better off dead." I covered the wound with my hands, hoping to stop the bleeding. How do I go from being resurrected to being stabbed to death by someone I had a strange attachment to. "Please don't do this, I didn't do anything to you. I didn't ask for the bond." The last thing I saw was the knife about to go into my chest."

I woke up screaming. "What the hell was that all about?" I asked myself. I knew Thane had more than likely had a similar dream, but I didn't want to go down and see him in case he became confrontational. I felt something warm on my stomach, causing me to look down. My stitches had ripped out and were bleeding heavily. "Fucking lovely" I said to myself. Time to go down to Chawkwas and see if she can't patch me up. I rolled out of bed, but collapsed on the other side due to sudden vertigo. That's when I realized how much blood was actually on the bed. Son of a bitch. That's probably why I had a dream about being stabbed. I got up and attempted to make it to my door. I didn't quite make it and ended up face first on the tile. I couldn't even muster the energy to hit the panic button. The last thing I heard was my cabin door sliding open.

Medical

I woke up in a hospital bed and instantly noticed Chawkwas. "Hey doc, how the hell did I get here?" She pointed to the corner of the room, where Thane was standing talking to Shepard. "He found you passed out on the floor of your quarters. How did you tear your stitches?" I thought of a convincing lie before she got suspicious. "I went and lifted in the gym earlier today. That probably did it." "More than likely. You're lucky he happened to be nearby. He said he could smell the blood." I saw Shepard throwing me a look from the corner. "I guess you could say that." Shepard said. "You still up for tomorrow's mission? I'm coming with if you say yes." "Andy, I'll be fine." Shepard sighed. "Thane, take her back to her quarters please."
