Redhawk Caldera I'll just mix 'em in my drink

Maia had had nightmares before, but there was something different when the experience was real.  It took her a while to rouse, and during that time he chased her, found her, sent her running again.  That smile, and those eyes, were always the same, but sometimes it was another friend.  Once Illidan... once the man with the furious blue eyes who she'd thought so pretty before.

She came to slowly.  She didn't rememer where she'd ended up or how she'd gotten there, so when she felt Eljay's warmth and his gentle prodding, she immediately assumed she hadn't managed to escape.  She panicked and tried to scrabble backwards from him, though doing so just brought into sharp relief how much everything hurt right now.

N-no, please,  was all she managed to choke out.  She felt like she couldn't breathe.  I don't want to die.
