Anderson walked into the bed room quietly hearing the faint sounds. DeLacy was laying in bed. Crying softly. Anderson could hear it.

He went over to the bed side sitting down. He thought at first she was awake.

"DeLacy", he whispered softly.

No response. It was then he noticed she was really asleep. Anderson stared, she was sweating. Not from the bed sheets or covers. She was dreaming again. Anderson swallowed. It didn't look like a good dream. Likely another flashback.

Anderson shook her slightly, "DeLacy", he whispered again.

Anderson shook her again gently when she shot up eyes wide. She was gasping her heart was pounding and seeing Anderson sitting there frightened her even more and she panicked as the gun under her pillow wasn't there.

Anderson saw the look of panic fill her face. Anderson removed his hands.

"DeLacy, DeLacy it's alright...shh....shh....it's alright", he whispered quietly.

DeLacy breathed sweat falling down her neck and soaking her shirt. Her arms prickled shaking. Her hair was damp and wet. She had only been asleep for forty five minuets now.

"Hey....shh....shh...", repeated Anderson as her eyes were darting around and staring at every shadow as if it were something dangerous.

DeLacy seemed to come back into reality and swallowed gasping a sigh of relief. She leaned back against the bed frame. Her eyes were still wide as she was breathing heavily. Her adrenalin still pumping and heart beat pounding painfully in her ear drums.

She put her hands in her head looking down.

"Oh god....oh god....oh god....", she managed.

She closed her eyes, "I did it again....I did it again....", she breathed out.

Anderson moved closer carefully, he placed his hands on her's as she sat there. He pressed his forehead against her's.

"It's alright....It's alright DeLacy....it was just a dream", whispered Anderson.

DeLacy swallowed shivering, she shook her head closing her eyes tightly, "No, no, no, no I feel him breathing down my neck.....I hear him everywhere......I hear him whisper and laugh.....I....no, no-",

Anderson pulled DeLacy close into his chest, "Shh....he's not here, he's not here DeLacy. He's long gone", whispered Anderson.

"He's long gone".
