Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Richard sleeps soundly with Cassandras head resting on his chest. He starts shifting uncontrollably in his sleep as various dream sequences disturb his sleep. A dark haired woman slaps him hard across the cheek. Then a dark dungeon appears, its floor covered in water and as faded breathing echoes throughout the walls. A lifeless body, enters his dream. The man is slaughtered and lies lifeless surrounded in blood on a carpeted floor. Last but not least, Richard sees the pale blue eyes of a man staring back at him like they look straight into his soul. That makes him jump up in bead panting and sweating.

His eyes pop out of their sockets when he realizes his hand is harshly grasping something. Afraid of what to expect, he turns his head slowly to confirm his fears. He has Cassandra’s arms in a firm grip and she’s looking at him half scared and half concerned. He releases her arm terrified and bolts up from the bed.
