The moon was bright and full in the sky, so full you could practically hear the wolves howling. The night air had a cold wisp to it, and you could not see an inch in front of your face. But Princess Tiana knew she had to get through.

She ran as fast as her legs would carry her to get away from her pursuer. She was running out of breath and the cold air was getting in her lungs. She had no choice. She paused at a tree to catch her breath. Why is this happening?, she thought, Everything was going so well…

"Oh, Tiana!" came a seductive voice. She gasped as she heard the tall grass pull away.

"No!" Tiana cried. She quickly resumed her run, hearing the evil laugh behind her. Tears were starting to run down her cheeks. "Don't cry Tiana, you'll make it out of this.." she told herself. She ran until she was at the deepest part of the woods. There was a giant rock. There was no where left to run.

"Tiana, Tiana, I told you running was pointless." Tiana turned her head to face the shadowman. Dr. Facilier. He gracefully walked up to her.

"L-Leave me alone!" Tiana pushed her back against the giant rock.

He was beside her in a few strides. "Tiana, you honestly thought you could break my talisman, and not suffer the consequences?" He waved his cane over a few trees.

The trees shook for awhile, and then the branches leaned forward and wrapped around Tiana's body. Dr. Facilier waved his wand once more before it turned into a knife.

"No, please!" Tiana struggled against the branches, but to no avail. She was at the mercy of the Shadow Man.

Faciliar placed the knife to her throat. "Come now Tiana, dying doesn't hurt." he pulled the knife back to stab her.

Tiana's eyes went big. "N-Naveen!" she cried out for her husband.

Facilier gave a wild laugh. "Your husband's not here anymore." with one more laugh, he brought the knife down on Tiana.

"NOOOOO!!!" Naveen cried out as he sat up in bed. He looked around, breathing heavily. Then he turned his eyes to the woman next to him.

"Mmmmm…Naveen?" Tiana sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What's wrong, baby?"

Naveen placed his hands on his wife's shoulders. She was alive. Thank the great king of Maldonia she was alive! He brought her in his arms. "Oh Tiana, have I ever told you how much I love you? How much I appreciate your life?"

Tiana shrugged in his arms. "You've said you love me tons of times. You never really go on about my life, though.

Naveen released her and said, "Well, I do! I am so happy you are alive and I hope nothing ever comes to take that away."

Tiana raised an eyebrow. "Naveen, are you feeling al right?" Naveen often got romantic with her, but hardly ever emotionally worried about their happy marriage coming to end.

Naveen sighed. "I-I had a nightmare." he admitted.

Tiana made a pout face. "Aw, poor baby. Tell your wife what it was about." she moved closer to him.

Naveen bit his lip. Should he tell his wife he had a dream of her being killed by the Shadow man? He looked at his wife's earnest eyes. "You would think it was silly." he muttered.

Tiana placed her hand over his. "Naveen, I think half the things you do are silly. Whatever you dreamed about will be no surprise to me."

Naveen took a deep breath. "I dreamed……that I became fat." he lied.

Tiana scoffed. "Your worst nightmare." She let out a little laugh.

Not even close ,my princess, Naveen thought. He did not like lying to his wife, but he thought it was wiser not to tell her.

Tiana placed her head on his shoulder. "Naveen, even if you get fat, I'll be there to tell you you're thin!" she smiled.

Naveen gave a weak smile. "Thank you for not being bitter with me for waking you up." he said. Just another reason to adore you, he thought.

Tiana laid back on the bed again. "Hey, someone has to look out for you." She was back to sleep in minutes.

Naveen looked up at the ceiling. This was the 5th night in a row he had that dream. However, it was the first night it had been complete and he had seen what happened to Tiana. It had seemed so real…

Why can't I REALLY just have a dream where I got fat? Why would he have a dream about the person he hated the most killing the one he loved the most?

The prince sighed. Oh well, it was just a dream.

Right?

Suspense much, huh? Please review!
