Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Dream.

She ran to her room as she slammed the door shut, she gently leaned on the door, as she pressed her back against it, she slowly sat down on the floor

She bawled, as tears rolled down her cheek.

What is going on? Ttt..that sound... she stuttered. Ttt..tthhat is the exact sound I heard last night, was he in pain? Didn't I do my duty properly?

She sounded so scared, she trembled with fear as she buried her face in between her legs , she held her knee to her chest as she cried non stop.

What was wrong? Why was he in so much pain? She didn't know why, but it hurt her deeply each time she heard those groans, it felt like he was in so much Paīn but tried to hide it from everyone.

Why could she feel his pain? Just then she remembered she saw the sudden change in his eyes, how was he able to change his lovely eyes into a dark ugly one? Who does that?

What was he??? She thought. Then she slowly walked to her bed and laid down.. Then she dozed off.

(Pants)

There was a dark room, a candle was lit up at a corner, one could barely see anything in the room.

Where I'm i? Jenna looked around but could see nothing.

A woman with silver long hair, suddenly appeared in the dark.

Jenna stepped backwards in fear, the woman wasn't old at all, she was in her 40s, she was extremely beautiful but scary Looking.

Ww..Who are you?.. Jenna stuttered as she peeked through the dark, she barely saw her.

You don't need to know, I do know you but you can never know me, except I show my full body to you. She said coldly.

Her forehead shone bright and what she saw made her jaw dropped. She saw the burning skull, that was the same drawing that Arnold had at him arm.

She thought as she looked strangely at it, the lady forehead was seen, but her face wasn't visible.

The lady walked slowly to Jenna, as she screamed in fear

Don't come any closer, stay away from me.. she stuttered as she walked backwards without looking back.

Please don't hurt me, don't kill me!!! Please s!!!!! Please!!!!

Immediately, she woke up, all panting and sweaty, she quickly looked around then she realized it was all a dream..

Arnold quickly rushed in on her... he knocked from outside.

Are you okay in there? He waited for her response.

She slowly walked to the door, and opened it.. she saw him standing before her..

She panted heavily, the skulls, the tattoo, the sliver headed lady, the scary look!! Everything popped up visible in her memory as she hugged Arnold tight.

I..I..I'm scared.. she held him even tighter.

Arnold couldn't understand what happened to her, he heard her scream , who was trying to hurt her?? He thought. Was it because he yelled at her?

You had a nightmare, didn't you?? He said as his eyes searched the room..

Yes..I..I.. I had a scary one.. she looked up at him, with those teary eyes.

She looked really scared and on top of it all she was panting and sweating all at the same time.

It's all a nightmare and nothing else. He patted her head. He gently drew her out of his embrace and made her face him.

Tears immediately ran down her cheek, as she stood averting his gaze.

Arnold studied her face, this wasn't just a dream, she looks really scared. He just stared.

Are you okay now? He asked which she nodded in response.

Okay, go back to bed, he turned around

Would she be all alone here? What if that lady appears in her dream again? No.. no, I can't stay here alone. Not this night. She thought as she ran and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Please don't leave.. I..I..I'm too scared to stay here all alone.. she placed her head softly at his back.

Arnold was stunned, seeing her hugged him that way.

She spoke before he could say anything, please stay with me... she released her arms wrapped around him

Arnold slowly turned around to face her. She stared into his eyes, that cold dark look completely disappeared, he wore a different calm look she had never seen.

Please stay with me.. she repeated as she searched for emotions in his eyes

She looked into them to know if it'd darken. But no,. It didn't.

Arnold nodded, as he closed her door behind him and walked to the bed. He sat upright on the bed leaning his head on the wall with his arm placed on it.

Jenna didn't want to make him uncomfortable so she walked to the red couch beside the window and laid down.

She felt protected, because she had Arnold there with her. She tried sleeping as she closed her eyes.

Arnold just sat upright, he thought of the nightmare she must have had that made her looked so scared.

Jenna didn't know when she dozed off. The curtains on the window was white and quite small, the window wasn't that wide. The strong wind blew the curtains, this made Jenna shivered, due to the cold wind.

She was still in deep sleep but could still move her legs to her chest as she shivered.

Arnold just stared at her for a while before going out of the bed.

He slowly walked to her. Then he stood for seconds staring down at her as though he saw a ghost.

He gently carried her from the couch, he carried her 'princess style' on his arms, her soft, delicate legs fell on his arm

Then she mumbled something. Thank you for staying with me..

he just grinned.

Then He carried her to the bed and tucked her in. He re adjusted the big pillows as he gently placed her head on it.

He then moved over to the other edge of the bed and laid there.

He sat upright, till thinking about what happened earlier on. Just then she turned to face him. She was still fast asleep , Arnold couldn't help but stare at her.

It was then he saw that she was gorgeous beautiful. From her beautiful hair to her brows then to her long lashes that was now wet from crying, fell on her lid

Then his eyes went down to her thin attractive lips.

She was so beautiful while she slept. He thought.

He adjusted as he laid down and had a trip to dreamy land.

They were so close to each other that they could feel their exchanged warm breaths.

Jenna rolled to the other edge of the bed were Arnold laid.

Arnold was asleep but he felt movements made on the bed.

He then turned to see her so closed to him, she kept her hands on his arm and placed her head slowly on his chest. Her eyes were still closed. She didn't know what she was doing, she looked so innocent as she was asleep.

Arnold opened his eyes slowly to see the girl on his body. He could picture that teary face she had earlier on.

He slipped his hands to the other side as he held her arm and brought her completely into his embrace.
