Memory and Dream

[aeons_crackshot]

Annabelle feels groggy when there's suddenly a bright light in her face, causing her to open her eyes. The grogginess is quickly washed away by fear and dread. The machinery stretching above her and the table that she's strapped to is terribly familiar by now.

She struggles and curses, but there's no one human in here right now, just a robot guard. The screaming gets on the nerves of the human scientists, you see.

Annabelle can't help but tense when she hears that all too familiar whine of the machine starting up. Electrical energy arcs from one piece of machinery to another and the pain begins.

It feels a bit like being punched all over her body for a minute or two, but the worst pain comes much faster this time. Annabelle can't see, can't think, the world is nothing but agony, as if every nerve has been set ablaze....

I will be right there on the couch, near. He nods, giving Annabelle a light, tender kiss. Now, sleep well.

He will let the dream panorama fade into the sensation of being tucked safely in bed: hopefully her mind had enough entertainment and Annabelle will have the chance of sleeping deep and long.

Connor's intervention works very well. She dreams, but there are no more nightmares, not tonight.

And when he is sure that Annabelle will sleep peacefully, Connor allows himself to fall asleep.
