"No! No you can't make me love you!" Dorothy screamed as Erik advanced on her.

"Oh I can and you will." He said as he backed her into the bedroom and locked the door. Dorothy tried to find a way out , but there was no escape. Erik then grabbed her and pinned her against the wall.

"You know you love me, Dorothy." He said; smiling wickedly.

"No, I don't!" Dorothy yelled in his face, she was going to tell Erik once and for all who she loved. "I love Gustave!"

Erik grinded his teeth and snarled. "So that's how you want to play huh?" He then picked her up and threw her on the bed. "I will have you whether you want me or not!" He said as he smacked her in the face...

"No! Erik stop!" Dorothy screamed as she tossed and turned on the bed. "Let me go!" She cried.

"Dorothy!"

"No!"

"DOROTHY!"

"NO!"

"YOU'RE DREAMING DOROTHY! WAKE UP!"

Her eyes flew open open and she stared up in the face of her beloved.

"Gustave?" She murmured 

He nodded.

"Gustave!" She exclaimed as he pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Shh, it's alright. I'm here." He consoled her as he rocked her back and forth.

"Oh, Gustave. It was awful. He was coming at me and yelling that I love him and throwing me onto the bed and-"

"Shh, you were dreaming. It's all over now. You're with me."

Dorothy's tear-filled eyes gazed up at Gustave's concerned ones.

"I'm sorry." She whispered as she buried her face into his neck.

"Don't be." He murmured as he rubbed her back.

He then held her at arms length. "Tell me what happened."

She trembled. "It was terrible. You were gone and he had control of me. There was nothing I could do but scream." She then threw her arms around his neck. "Please don't leave me!" She sobbed into his chest.

"I won't." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. He wished that Dorothy didn't have to be tortured by the dreams.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Once she had calmed down, Gustave gently kissed her forehead and laid her back down on the bed. He then just sat there, looking at her for a moment before lying down himself. He was just about to close his eyes to go to sleep when he felt Dorothy's gaze on him. He propped himself onto his elbow. "What is it?" He asked softly. 

"I love you." She said; leaning over to kiss him. Gustave laid back down again and took Dorothy into his arms.

"And I love you, Dorothy. Are you sure you can sleep now?"

She nodded and kissed his cheek. "Now that I know you're beside me, I think so." She smiled. "I like it when you're beside me.

Gustave smiled mischievlously. "Beside you? He then turned on to her back and looked down at her. "How about above you?"

"I like that even better." She giggled. Gustave then siezed her mouth in his own in a fit of passion. She then broke the kiss and breathed into his ear just four words:

"Make love to me."

He did; and for the rest of the night, Dorothy forgot her fearful dreams and focused on the love that She and Gustave shared.
