He raced for Nicole's room with Brian close at his heels. Nick saw Nicole sitting straight up in her bed. She was shaking and trembling uncontrollably.
"Nicole, what's wrong?", he asked going over to her immeadiatly.
"I... I had this nightmare where Derrick came as a ghost and... and he tried to kill me so that I would be with him. He shot his gun while I was running away and then--" She burst into tears and began to sob loudly.
"Shhhhhhhh, it's ok. It was only a dream. Shhhhhh, Nicole, please, you have to calm down.", Nick said soothingly.
He cradled her in his arms until she finally calmed down.
"Nick?"
"Yeah"
"You'll always be here, right? You won't let him get me will you?"
"No way will I let him near you. What kind of a question is that? Of course you know that I will always be here."
"Don't leave this room until we can go home, okay?"
"I wouldn't even think about it."
"Thanks Nick. You're the best."
"I know. No go to bed."
Soon enough, Nicole fell asleep, with Nick sleeping in the chair beside her.
All the while, Brian was there watching. He saw how much they cared for each other and how they would always be there for one another.
No one knew it but from somewhere, some one was watch them too. Knowing that soon, Nicole wouldn't have anyone to protect her anymore
