| He was terrified. Were they going to hurt her? Would they kill her? He didn�t have time to think about that now, right now he had to think of how to get her back safe.
He hurried into town to get some supplies that he was going to need. He didn�t waste anytime going after Michaela he knew every second counted. As he made his way through the woods he kept screaming, �MICHAELA!!!� hoping that she would be near and answer him. He hadn�t seen which way the Indians had headed, but he felt Michaela�s spirit guiding him. As long as he felt that he knew she was still alive. Michaela was also deep in a dream filled sleep. �SULLY!!� Michaela was being held by an Indian who was taking her away from Sully. �NO! SULLY!!� Michaela was frightened. Why did they want to take her? What were they going to do to her? They rode off in to the woods and she heard Sully promise that he would find her. She knew Sully was a man of his word and if he said he was going to find her, then he was going to find her. As they rode off she felt the Indian tighten his grip on her. This made her become more frightened and the only thing she managed to say was �SULLY!!!!!� Sully heard Michaela screaming, but he thought it was still in his dream so he yelled back �MICHAELA!!!� When he heard her yell again reality began to sink in and he woke up. She screamed his name again and Sully ran in the direction of her voice. He got to her bedroom and opened the door. Michaela was asleep but she kept screaming his name. He hurried over to her and held her in his arms. �Shhh� It�s alright Michaela I�m here.� Sully began to rock her back and forth. Michaela woke up and when she saw Sully she wrapped her arms around him and began to cry. �It�s o.k. it was just a bad dream.� �Oh Sully! I dreamed I was being taken away from you by some Indians and I got the feeling that they wanted to hurt me.� Sully couldn�t believe what he had just heard. They had shared the same dream. �It�s all over now Michaela I�m here. You�re safe.� �Want to hear something strange?� Michaela pulled away enough to look at him and nodded. �I had the same dream.� �You had the same dream I just had?� Michaela couldn�t understand. �Yes, I saw you being taken away by Indians and I promised you I was going to find you.� �That�s what you said in my dream too.� Tears began to form again in Michaela�s eyes. She knew it had been a dream, but she was still frightened. �It�s o.k. I�m right here.� Sully leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. He laid Michaela back in bed and pulled the sheets up around her. �Go back to sleep. You need your rest.� Sully was getting up from the bed when he felt Michaela grab his arm. �Sully don�t go.� Sully looked at her with a puzzled look. �Please Sully don�t leave me. I want you to stay and hold me.� Sully could see she was still frightened and contemplated her request. He knew that as long as all they did was lie next to each other everything would be fine. �Alright don�t worry I won�t leave ya.� He made his way to the other side of the bed and slipped in between the sheet and the comforter. He didn�t want to make Michaela uncomfortable. Michaela cuddled against him and he slipped an arm under her head pulling her in closer. He began to rub her back and it didn�t take long for Michaela to relax and fall back asleep. The sound of Michaela�s steady breath mixed with the feeling of having her in his arms helped Sully go back to sleep. |
