Overactive Imagination

"Quick hurry, up here. We will be safe up here."

We entered a large room that looked like it was an attic. There was a thick layer of dust every where and a few piece of broken furniture thrown about the room. But besides that there was just us.

Two large windows that looked down onto the yard. I heard children playing outside on the street. I watched them run around chasing a ball. They looked happy and sweet, even cute but I felt nothing for them. How could these be my children? If they were my children, then why didn't my heart know them? Why didn't my body ache to be near them? Why? Why? Why?

"It's alright. Don't force it, you will remember. Give yourself time," Davin said as he gave my arm a supportive squeeze.

"I just don't get it. I just don't understand how I could have children and not remember them. How could I not know, people that I birthed, people that came from inside of me? And him," I gestured to the man outside mowing the grass in the back yard, "How can he be my husband. I feel nothing for him. He is a stranger to me."

"Jen, I know its confusing but its true. You have to trust me. Do you trust me?" We were standing face to face and Davin held my shoulders and seemed to shake me while he asked the question.

His eyes pieced mine. For the first time in days, I felt something familiar. I felt like I belonged here with him. I felt like there was more to us then he was letting on.

"Do You Trust Me?" He said again but this time more forceful than the last. We were standing even closer now, almost too close. But it did not feel wrong. I did not try and pull away. Just the opposite in fact, I wanted to be even closer.

"Promise me that no matter what, you will always trust me." His voice seemed to soften and fade away as he spoke those words.

I could sense that he was trying to be strong, trying to figure out away to separate from me but his eyes did not deliver the same message. In his eyes, I could see the longing, the love, the passion.

I started to nod my head in agreement when his radio crackled. "Davin...... Davin..... Do you read me? They are approaching."

My heart began to race. I did not know who they were but I knew what they wanted. Me. I was the reason for their attacks. I was the reason that Davin was here, risking his life. Me. Danger seemed to find me no matter where I was.

I could feel all the muscles in my body tense up and I know that Davin felt it too. "You just have to trust. I promise you will be alright. I promise to let nothing ever happen to you."

And with that, he pulled me close to him. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I let myself go in his arms. I let him kiss me long and hard. I let him take my breath way.

I knew that this was not the first time that we kissed. I knew that I wasn't suppose to be kissing him. I knew that we weren't suppose to have feelings for each other but it couldn't be helped. I felt connected to him. I felt like we belonged together and been together for many, many years. His kiss, his arms, his embrace, all were familiar and comforting.

"Davin. Davin....." the radio at his side seemed to scream at us, breaking up our embrace, "They have your location."

"They know."

"Davin, DO YOU READ ME?"

"THEY ARE HERE!"

The panic in my chest was raising. I could hear they buzzing outside the door. The buzzing seemed to rattle the whole attic.

"RUN !" Davin screamed at me. "Run and hide. I will try and hold them off."

I didn't want to leave his side. I wanted to stay with him. I wanted for us to run together. But that wasn't an option. So I ran. But every where I went the buzzing followed. It seemed to surround me there was no escaping it.

As I tried to hide myself in a seemly empty room, I heard Davin fighting. I could not see what he was fighting, I only herd the buzzing or was is growling. Yes, it seemed now to be low snore like growling and it was getting closer.

I covered my ears but I could not escape the growl.

It was getting closer.

Closer

CLOSER

I knew it was right on the other side of the wall from me. I knew this was going to be the final attack. I heard the growling louder than ever. It was all I could hear. The sound was every where. I could not block it out.

Davin....... Help me!

*****

Then I woke up. It was all a dream. Seriously, this is what my dreams are like. Do you know what that growling was that I kept hearing all around me? The noise that freaked me out so badly that I woke up with my heart racing?

What was that noise?

Why nothing but my own snoring.

Nice.
