(The scene seemed to shift and suddenly she was outside near the ambulance and everything was as it had been when he had dropped her off there.. and she was watching him go back inside the building. The dream was so real to her it was as though she could smell the fire and the smoke was choking her lungs. Even as she writhed in the safety of his arms her breathing was labored and she shook her head, begging him in her dreams to not go back in. She just couldn't get him to listen.. The rest of it happened in agonizingly slow motion. She fought to get away from the paramedics as the air filled with the sounds of the metal beams giving way inside the building.. and then it started to fall in, floor by floor, until it was nothing more than a pile of rubble and a cloud of dust. For a moment as she lay in his arms she stilled, her breathing stopping for a long moment before she let out a mewling cry that turned into a choked sob. It was during that sob that she found herself being shaken by him, her eyes fluttering open a little before she brought her hands up to her face and turned towards his chest a little, sobbing openly. She'd felt a loss like this only once before in her life.. and she never wanted to feel it again.. and never for Braden. Her tiny body shook with the force of her tears as she drew her knees up a little, looking smaller for the pain she was in.. she just didn't know how to handle all this. Knowing that he put himself in danger like this drove her insane.. she just didn't know if she would ever understand it.)
