"Max, no. Don't shoot him," I heard the soft murmur of her voice and felt her shifting next to me. My eyes flew open and I jerked upright on my bed and I saw Rose moving her head from side to side. Her lips formed the words,

"Rose…" I touched her face, pushing her hair away. "Rose, it's okay. It's a nightmare… baby.." I shook her shoulders. "Rose, it's okay. I'm right here.."
Her tiny chest moved up and down in a rapid motion as she jerked her head from side to side. "No... he's going to kill you… Jordan.." she mumbled. A light sheen of sweat formed on her forehead.
"Rose, I'm right here. I'm right here…" I said.
