I knew it.
*Genghis swelled with rage, but forced it down again. He could be dealt with later. He looked to her, trying to offer a solution. Touching her head gently, he came up with a propostion.*
"If you would like...I will rest beside you. He will not return if I am here."
He wouldn't dare.

*Emily looked up and smiled weakly.*
"It's only a dream, right? And, the reality, I mean...it was probably my fault," *she said.* "I must have said something...done something...I don't know. I just keep going over and over it in my mind, trying to think of where I went wrong."
*She looked uncertain.*
"...do you...do you really think he won't...I mean, the dreams won't come back if you stay here?"

"There is only one way to know for certain."
*Genghis spoke calmly, shifting to stretch out next to her.*
"I will wait and see."

"It's worth a try."
*Emily lay down again, but felt a little awkward, so she turned her back to Genghis and shut her eyes. Her breathing became deep and regular as she relaxed into sleep, leaning lightly against his chest.*

*Genghis watched her sleep. He would be ready if Dracula returned. He placed a comforting, and somewhat possessive arm around her gently.*
Just try. I'd like to see you try while I am here to defend her.

*One cue, Emily began to whimper softly in her sleep and fight against Genghis' grip.*
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" *she muttered desperatel, shaking her head.*

*Genghis pulled her closely to his broad chest, stroking her hair gently. He tried to be a soothing as possible, but it was hard for him.*
"It's all right, Emily. I am here. I am here. You are safe."

*Emily continued to cry, her eyes squeezed shut tightly as something seemed to grab hold of her and pull, drawing her away from Genghis' arms.*
I will take you as he took her...
*Emily choked on her terror as she felt cold hands seemingly everywhere on her body all at once.*

*Genghis bristled in need to defend her. He shook her gently, but urgently.*
"Emily. Wake up. Come back to me. Emily, wake up."

*Emily awoke with a jerk, shivering. She gripped the ring about her neck and rolled over to face Genghis. She dropped it like a hot coal as she realized it was him and hugged him tightly, her tear-streaked face resting against his shoulder.*
"...it's you," *she said with relief.*

*Genghis noted the ring once more with a frown, but pulled her tighter, trying to make her feel more secure.*
"It is. You are safe. I will protect you."

*Emily felt curiously feverish as he held her tightly. She leaned her head back to look up at him.*
"I know," *she said softly.
Without thinking, she kissed him gently.
THEN she thought.*
Shit shit shit shit what am I doing damn this is kinda...wow.
*Then she stopped thinking again.*

*Genghis was surprised, but wasn't about to pass up such an invitation. He returned the kiss as tenderly as his warlord ways could manage. After a long moment, he pulled back to examine her.*
"Do you feel better?"

*Her hand had rested on his shoulder of its own accord. She drew back a little and it slid limply down to his elbow.*
"Er...yes. Thanks. Sorry. Oh God," *she turned bright red and rolled over to hide her face in her pillow.*
You colossal IDIOT!

*Genghis peeked over her shoulder and touched her arm gently.*
"You do not seem better. Please...let me help."
Especially if it's like that.
