"I've been waiting for you, Hiead," he says to me with a warm smile.

"What do you mean you've been waiting for me? It's just a dream," the dream me replies while I try to shake myself awake, but I can't. My eyes refuse to open.

"Now that you're here, I'm not going to let you go so easily."

I smack his hand away that was reaching for my cheek, glaring into his bright eyes. Though I was now in control, or so I thought, I couldn't think of a thing to say.

"Beautiful and dangerous. Two things that should not be used to describe someone like you, at least, not used together. I guess that's what people mean when they say opposites attract."

"What are you talking about?"

Seemingly ignoring his question, Erts replied, "As long as you continue to sleep, you will belong to me. I now possess the most beautiful object in the entire universe."

I turn to walk away, only to find that for every step I take, I'm going in an unknown direction, covered completely in darkness that I usually find so relaxing. But also as I move, he seems to be following me, though he's not moving at all. It's as if I'm on a treadmill or something; I keep walking and walking and he's right there, never moving, always smiling, like an angelic demon.

At this, I begin to panic, then tamp it back down as I remember that this is just a dream.

"It's much more than just a mere dream. This is now your fate, to remain here in this 'dream,' as you say, for all eternity. And since we're both now living in a dream world, our thoughts are in sync; therefore I can read your every thought. There's nothing you can hide from me. Nothing."

"What are you?" I ask as I turn to face him.

"I am as you once used to be; a demon," he replies. "And in being a demon, I want to possess the most valuable thing I can get my hands on, and that thing happens to be you."

"Why me?"

"Why not you? You seem like you never care about what's going on around you, so why should you care that you are now owned?"

He steps towards me again, and for once in my life, from all my past that I can recall, I've never been this afraid of anyone, ever.

"From now on, it's just you, me, and all eternity." With that, he leans forward, holding my chin tightly as he brings his lips to mine, thus beginning my life in hell.

/ Erts \\

I was right; I knew that if I went to sleep Hiead would haunt my dreams.

I'm trapped here with him. I can't open my eyes. I can't wake up from this nightmare.

He throws me to the ground and kicks my side. That's not the worst he's done though. He's already given the dream me a black eye and several nasty bruises and cuts, with his bare hands no less. And there's nowhere for me to hide.

"Get up, crybaby," he commands me as he circles around my body like a vulture when it's found food, though I guess he would be more like a hawk with those eyes that pierce my soul and make me shiver in fear.

I'm afraid, though I can't bring myself to retaliate. I can't bring myself to damage this beautiful being before me. I can't move because even though he's hurting the dream me, I can feel every blow upon my real flesh, paralyzing me.

I said he was beautiful and deadly in his truest form, and this proves it. He shows no one mercy, just like a demon.

A rough hand grabs a fistful of my hair and hauls me to my feet. I wince in pain, causing him to punch me in the stomach.

"You're so weak, just like Zero Enna. Now, I'm going to teach you to stay away from him. If he's going to become a Goddess pilot, he's going to have to learn everything on his own, not from a pilot's little brother. Not from someone younger who thinks he's better than me," he says, smacking me hard across the cheek.

"Leave me alone!" I cry out, though no one can hear me or come to my aid.

He releases my hair and shoves me hard, so hard that I can't catch my balance and I tumble to the ground. Again he attacks me, this time relentlessly. I begin to scream from shear pain, still unable to move.

I guess he gets tired of my screaming and grabs roughly a hold of my chin.

"Look at me," he commands in a calm, deadly voice.

My eyes snap open as his fist connects with my rib cage, and I stare with fear and tear filled eyes into his. I think I'm going to drown in those bloody pools, if not my own blood first which is currently streaming in a steady flow into the corner mouth from a cut somewhere on my head.

After gaining my attention, he smirks as he straddles my hips, leaning down and capturing my lips in a bruising kiss, pinning my hands above my head. He squeezes my wrists with enough pressure that I can feel them bruising.

I can't breath, I can't scream, I can't move. All I can do is stare at his closed eyes in fear. I can read his mind, barely, but only because the thing so openly in his mind is to rape me, defile me, to keep Zero from claiming me first. I think I'm in hell.

/ Zero \\

"Man, that was rough!" I say as I stretch a little, having just returned to the ship from the Pro-Ing battle.

"Speak for yourself; you're not the one who got shot about forty times within two minutes," Clay complains as we walk out of the Pro-Ing containment room. "I'm going to eat, so I'll see you tonight I guess, assuming you're going to see Erts again."

"Yeah, alright," I reply, though I only listened to about half of what he said as I turned a corner and headed to Erts' room.

That's odd; the door's stuck and he never locks it, even at night. Sometimes I think he's too willing to trust people he doesn't even know exist.

After manually opening the door, I stop about a foot inside the door, my mouth hanging open.

He's having an EX reaction to something in his sleep.

I don't trust myself to touch him when he's like this; I don't know what would happen, so I do the only thing I know to do given the situation: find Dr. Rill.

/ Erts \\

I can feel my real body being lifted, but I can't wake up. My eyes refuse to open.

The nightmare has gotten worse, and is far more than I'd ever be able to handle if this wasn't a real dream. The pain in both my real and dream bodies is too much, but there's nothing I can do, no way for me to fight back. I'm too weak…

Too weak to even flinch as he begins to enter me.

"Erts!"

I feel and slight pinch in my arm and finally my eyes open and I'm breathing heavily, scared that I'm actually living this horrid dream, but my eyes land on concerned blue orbs.

Zero.

Using what energy I have left, I fling myself into him, crying into his shoulder as I tightly cling to him.

"Thanks, Dr. Rill," he whispers as he runs a hand through my hair.

"I'm not quite done. Hold still for me, Erts. I have one more shot to give you to make sure this doesn't happen again any time soon."

Then I feel another slight pinch in my arm.

"Everything's going to be fine now, Erts," Zero assures me as he holds me gently.

/ Hiead \\

I'm free.

A few minutes ago my eyes finally opened and the angelic demon was gone. Even though he's gone and I'm free from that dream, my breath is still shaky with fear.

He had gotten so close to me, read me like a book, my every secret and desire, and I can only hope that he doesn't really know them. I can only hope that his telepathy hadn't kicked in during this dream so he could access everything about me; so he could break me and run me off of GOA in fear of him.

I get up and change back into my daily attire, since it's still fairly early in the evening. I have to find him; I have to find out what he knows.

I know…long time no update, but I wasn't sure of how to bring them out of their dreams and my muse wasn't helping much. I should feed her to the cactus god… =B

Anywho, I hope you liked this chapter and I'll try to hurry with the next one. ^_^
