[u]Sarah's dreamscape...[/u]
[i]Sarah stood in a chamber. A familiar chamber, filled with tendrils of SIVA.
She looked to the door, which was clearly open. Standing on the outside of it was Fionn. But some invisible wall was keeping him from coming in.
An explosion was fast roaring behind her and she began to panic. She tried to run toward him, but she tripped. Something was pulling her away.
She screamed as she reached toward Fionn, and her arm was outstretched as the explosion consumed her.[/i]
[u]On the Wall, 03:00 hours[/u]
Sarah woke up sweating from this nightmare. She was hyperventilating, startled by her terrors. She couldn't notice someone found her.

"I'm sorry... did I cross the line?" She asked, tears in her eyes.
-
He shakes his head. "No... You would 'ave found out eventually."
-
"I'm sorry, Fionn..." Sarah cried.
-
He holds her close, gently stroking her hair. "You 'ave nothing to apologize for."
-
"Finny, I'm afraid..." She stutters.
-
"Why? What are you afraid of?" He asks, brow furrowed.
-
"Losing you," She said.
-
"Then don' be. I ain't goin anywhere. Ever." He tells her, kissing the top of her head.
-
"The grief would kill me if you did," She said in a grim tone.
-
"Well I ain't leavin, so there's no need ta worry 'bout it. I wouldn't survive losing you either, Sarah." He replies.
-
She grabs his hand gently.
-
He gives her hand a gentle squeeze, smiling a little bit.
-
She smiles too.
-
Fionn leans in for a kiss, his eyes fluttering shut as he does so.
-
She shuts her eyes at she kisses him.
-
His arms snake around her to pull her close as they kiss.
-
She pulls back from the kiss. Her eyes had turned purple with fear.
-
Fionn looks at her. "What's wrong?"
-
"I just have a weird feeling that I'm about to lose you..."
-
"Sarah, I swear you ain't going ta lose me." He tells her.
-
"Fionn.... I wish I could calm that fear. I wish I could believe you. But I just can't bring myself to do it..." She says. She turns away, "Something seems wrong. Very wrong about this."
-
"About what? What's wrong?" He asks worriedly.
-
"I don't know if I can trust you... after all you're cheating on your fiancee. She may be dead in our timeline, but still, what if she wasn't. How would Pox feel if she was here, right now, watching us?" Sarah asked.
-
"If Pox was here, as in she didn't die, then I wouldn't be on this planet. I'd be back with the ol' scavenger corps. An' as for other timelines, those aren't mine ta choose. I had my shot an' I failed." He says with a sigh.
-
"I'm saying if she all-of-a-sudden found us. I know if I had a fiance that cheated on me, I'd call of the wedding. How would she feel if she found us?"
