This can't be true… It's just a bad dream… It must be! I... I'm going to wake up... any minute now! Yes, that's it! I'll wake up soon… It's just a dream… it's probably just due to my pregnancy hormones... Oh well… How naive I was this time! Hahaha! What an idiot I can be sometimes!
When I wake up, he'll be there, right next to me in our big bed... What was I so scared of? I feel so stupid now! For a moment, I really thought it had happened! Thankfully, I realized it wasn't real... Well, I have to admit that my subconscious is very accurate, even to the smallest detail... Hahaha! I thought I didn't have an imagination, but I'm surprising myself!
I can already tell that tomorrow morning when I tell him what I dreamed about last night, we're going to laugh so much! I think I may have even outdone Liliya, who's usually the one with the wildest and most bizarre dreams! But this time, I think I've beaten her most horrible dream, the one about man-eating sirens!
I thought we couldn't get worse than that… but here we are!
Honestly, Aleko dead? What a ridiculous thing to hear! Pff... even I don't believe it! It's inconceivable! Even impossible! By the way, why did I have such a dream?! Even when I was Erika and watched a horror movie, it didn't faze me! Maybe living in the 15th century has made me more fragile or scaredy-cat? Who knows!
Anyway… I'd like to wake up now! This dream is disturbing and creepy, not to mention macabre!
But seriously… Aleko couldn't have died like that... even in a dream, it's an insult to him! I mean, he's been riding horses since he was a child… he works with horses all day long! Plus, there's Spirit, his black stallion! Aleko has had him since he was born, and believe me, Spirit was nowhere near being mistreated!
You see, it's impossible! Aleko can't be dead from a horse fall, and certainly not on his horse! What a strange dream... luckily, it's not even realistic! I don't even dare to imagine how Liliya would react... She'd probably do like in The Vampire Diaries and end her life... Luckily, it's just a dream…
This lifeless body isn't Aleko! He can't be this pale, this injured, or this silent! Aleko Dragonov doesn't know how to be silent! Even when he's sleeping, he talks or grinds his teeth! Which is horrible to hear when waking up! That's why Aleko can't be this corpse…
Aleko! Come wake me up! For once, I want it to be me asking! Aleko! Aleko! Wake me up! Please… Aleko… please… please Aleko… Wake me up… I can't take this damn nightmare anymore! Sniff… Aleko… sniff… Why aren't you waking me up? Why aren't you saving me from this nightmarish dream… Aleko! Aleko... please!
My chest hurts, I must be having an anxiety attack! I need to calm down... it's not good for Nadia! My eyes hurt too from all the tears…
I know I shouldn't be getting into this state over a simple nightmare... But it's stronger than me... It's as if part of me believes it... But it's not true... right? That's not Aleko, is it? It's not my husband? Not Nadia's father? Not Liliya's big brother? No, it's none of that, right?
Aleko! Aleko! Please come get me…
"- Ouch! No... this can't be possible... It should work normally! This can't be possible!"
The pinching method works to wake up... so why didn't it work?! This can't be reality... No, it's not possible!
Yet right now... reality caught up with me all of a sudden…
"- ALEKO...!"
"- Katerina! Calm down, my dear! ... It's going to be okay, alright... Calm down... it's not good for your baby... Katerina, look at Mama... Calm down..."
"- Mama... Tell... tell me it's not true? Tell me it's a nightmare... Please..."
"- You have to be strong, Katerina..."
No! No, no, no! He's going to make it! He always makes it, after all, he's Dragonov! He can't be dead... He can't... HE CAN'T! No! This is too hard! I'm not strong enough!
I run to his lifeless body and start shaking him, shouting at him at the top of my lungs.
"- Aleko! Wake up! Aleko! This isn't funny! Aleko!"
"- Katerina, calm down!" Tatko growls.
But at this point, I can't control anything anymore... then again, have I ever truly controlled anything?!
My life as Erika was horrible, my first mother died because of me! My first father hated me with all his being, and my stepmother... let's not even talk about her! I thought this time I would be able to be happy... but nope! I couldn't even save my husband... he only lived for three more months! Seriously, only three months! Fuck, I was really useless! And for Mama and Tatko, what will it be? Now that the Klaus threat is gone... what's next? A fire? A disease? An attack?
Fuck! Why Aleko? What am I going to do?
