Aureole turns in his sleep as the cold wind glides across his pale skin. He dreams of memory once again as he rests in the destroyed ship.<br/><br/>“Aureole.” A woman’s voice calls behind him as he adjusts a bow tie around his neck. Her voice is lovely and full.. mature. “Yes?” Aureole says as he turns around, placing two purple eyes upon her..so beautiful with raven black hair and lovely skin. She approaches him slowly and fixes his collar. “You look great tonight.. I imagine Darious will as well.” She tells him. He smiles, kisses her on the cheek and begins to turn to leave before her grip on his collar tightens. “Aureole… what are you going to do?” She asks, fear lacing her voice. “I’m going to make a future for us… that has always been my mission.. always.” And with this phrase, he exits the room. The woman sits on the bed, her heart is racing and tears begin to collect at the bottom of her eyes for she knew exactly what that meant.<br/><br/>Aureole continues to toss and turn in his slumber, memories that clearly should have been forgotten by his tortured soul and now haunt his dreams.<br/><br/>“My best friend, my brother in arms.. the man I trust.” A voice calls to Aureole from the ally way next to the pub. He dawns a black trench coat, black pants and a black fedora. Aureole smiles, “Darious.” He replies as he approaches the man. Darious places a black gloved hand upon Aureole’s shoulder, “You look dashing in that tux Aureole, cloths as nice as ours are so rare to find on this god for saken planet are they not?” He says. Aureole nods in reply, “Yes they are.” He places a pale hand upon the shoulder of his friend. Darious stares into his eyes, “You seem off aureole.. what we are doing tonight is extremely important and dangerous.. can I trust you?” He asks voice cold and deadly as always. Aureole simply smiles, “You have always been able to trust and count on me Darious. Since the beginning of this endeavor we have stood shoulder to shoulder and it will always remain this way.” Aureole begins to walk up the ally way. Darious stares at him as he does so. “You had better be telling me the truth.” He thinks as he to follows up the ally way, both disappearing into the shadows.<br/><br/>His eyes shoot open, mind unable to take anymore tonight. He turns on his side to see Emalia in blissful sleep. He crawls over to her, completely terrified of falling asleep but he has come to realize that her face calms him down. He gently strokes her skin with the back of his hand as he watches her sleep. The air is very cold and Aureole can feel a storm coming along. The wind speed begins to pick up, “Emalia.” He whispers. “Please wake up Emalia.” Her eyes gently flutter open, “What is it Aureole?” She replies sleepily, “Is everything ok?”He shrugs, “Are you afraid of storms?” She asks him sweetly. He blushes and diverts his gaze, “Of course not.” He sheepishly says, “Don’t be ridiculous.” He shakes his head slightly, enabling his bangs to cover his face and forcing Emalia to giggle. “I’ll stay up with you Aureole.” She exclaims. Without looking at her, he simply says, “Thank you.”  Emalia sits up next to him, “Why are you afraid of storms aureole, I think it is pretty cool seeing as we only get one on our old planet once ever hundred years.. like the one that just happened 4 years ago.. so fortunate are we that we got to see it.” She smiles sweetly but Aureole cringes at the mentioning of that storm “I am afraid of storms because….. something terrible happened..  I don’t want to talk about it Emalia.” He explains. Emalai nods, “I understand Aureole.” She assures him. Rain began to fall now, aureole tightly gripped the couch cushion… terrified.. every single rain drop was a reminder. “Your shaking Aureole.” Emalia says. He nods in reply and lies down. He was afraid of going to sleep as he couldn’t bear to see that night any more but his fatigued body forces his eyes to close.<br/>And so he sees it.. the set up. Everything going wrong.. bullets flying everywhere.<br/><br/>He tosses violently as his dream continues.<br/><br/>He sees Darious standing in an ally way not to far from his hut! He feels such fear coursing through him.. he turns to run but a fist catches him from the side. He sees the warehouse and the chair.. he hears darious speak of the woman and that a team of guys were sent to their house to…<br/><br/>Emalia wakes him up. “Aureole!” She yells. “Calm down, your sweating and shaking! Im scared!” He gasps for breath before simply replying, “Me to..” As the rain never ceased.
