nightmare

   Episode-138 nightmare     Ernest’s POV:     … I promise this will never happen.. I can see the maid treated her scratches…. Her father is alive but he got shot in the shoulder… that man is strong that he got saved even after losing so much blood.. how he has a fragile daughter like her?.... sadly that Ace is also alive, he got hit by two bullets, one in the arm and other in the thigh… her friend is in ICU, but most likely safe…     I am glad Celeste didn’t get hurt…. I was observing her when I saw her getting up as she screamed out in sleep…. I rushed to her and I heard her whispers, “they will.. will hurt me.. they are touching me…” she got traumatized.. I made her look at me and said, “no one will hurt you… no one…”      Her eyes filled with tears, she looked around and she realized she was in this room and not in that nightmare… I pulled her to myself as I made her lay in sleeping position.. I rubbed her back and said, “no one can hurt you… I killed them all….” I noticed she grabbed into my shirt….  I kissed her forehead and how should I stop her from shivering in fear..     I remembered the book she gave me. I don’t have it now but I remember the lines…     I said the lines,    “on a beautiful sunny day, sun lines with courage…     courage to cross the world in the darkness of night, empathy to give the light to the darkness…    darkness that shows you need  to get the light,    light that gives you hope of smile,  the smile that makes me remind, reminds me of you and me everything is right.”     I felt her breath relaxing, her tight grip loosen.. she snuggled lightly into my chest as my hands are around her.    I continued,    “take a step, step that will make you reach to me,      I am waiting here desperately, the storms are strong,     But my feet won’t lose, you will find me here waiting for you,     You in my arms and in my soul, warmth of the life to fight the cold world…     One day I will come home to you, were you can smile and make me feel alive… whenever I reach you I will find you…. I will reach to you….”    I looked at her face and her eyes are closed. she opened it as I stopped, she asked, “you read my book…”    I embraced her tightly and said, “love… sleep… you need rest…. I will take you to your father tomorrow…”        Celeste’s POV:                         As my eyes opened and I came back to senses I realized I was in his arms… Ernest was resting against the pillows and I was in his embrace… I didn’t moved much just looked at his face… yesterday… as I remembered yesterday’s events I sat up in fear… it was terrifying, I was terrified when those men started touching me and pulling me to themselves… Ernest… he… he helped me…     But I hate him, I felt hand on my shoulder and I heard Ernest, “Celeste…” I turned my face to him and he looks at me with worry… don’t look at me like that... you did the same what those people were trying to do with me... how can you be like that?     He asked in his husky voice, “did you had a nightmare again?” I didn’t answer, he was comforting me by those lines from my book… I really felt relaxed, that book always helped me but listening it from him gave me a feeling that was much different…     He tired to touch my face and I moved back, he was surprised. I avoided looking at him and said, “I want to see dad….” I felt him getting out of the bed, I know he is angry…
