*several hours later, she tosses and turns in her sleep*
*a frown creases her forehead, sweat trickling down*
*gasps out, crying as the nightmare takes hold*
----------------------------------------------
*She tears down a dark alleyway, a fox pursued by the hunters. Flashing beams of light soar past, narrowly missing her as she rounds the corner, nearly slipping in the slick mud, pulling up her robes to run faster*
*gasps as she slams into a robed man, roughly grabbed by her cloak*
*her hood falls down, her eyes wide with horror, revealing her identity to the auror who grasped her, snatching up her wand*
I've got her! Now where's the other one?!
*another hooded figure appears, dark and menacing, aiming a curse at her captor*
*the man ducks the curse, pulling her down with him to the ground sharply*
*she scrambles up and grabs her wand, streaking furiously down the alley*
*collides into another hooded figure, his face hidden*
*hisses at her*
Go! Get out of here!
*stunned, she turns to disapparate, suddenly faced with a flying green curse*
*feels herself flying sideways, her eyes landing on the hooded man as he is hit with killing curse*
*everything inside her screams in agony as his hood falls back and he collapses in the middles of the dingy alleyway, seemingly in slow motion*
*Ace lies lifeless on the ground, his eyes open and staring as her disapparation spell whirled her far out of his reach, knowing he was gone forever*
----------------------------------------------
*bolts upright in bed, screaming*
NO!!!!
*gasps for breath, tears running down her face, her heart racing against her chest*

*cries for a few more minutes, trying to catch her breath*
*sniffles*

*chokes*
Y-you pushed me away and...
*is unable to finish, the tears coming back*
*remembers his lifeless eyes and motionless body lying on the ground, and shivers*

*Athaniel was shocked, he let go for a few minutes, and knelt on the floor, then embracing Seraph with him, he rested his hands on her red cheeks.*
Seraph. I am not going anywhere. Look at me please...
*He put his forehead against hers.*
I promise you, I will always be around....

*wipes the tears away, her eyes red and puffy*
*her heart still sunk in her stomach as though it had been real*
*grabs hold of him to make sure she wasn't going to wake from this dream into the nightmare she'd had*
You promise?
*buries her face into his shoulder, inhaling him, trying to convince herself of his realness*
