Dakota started whimpering in her sleep, the nightmare turning into Elijah being taken and abused, Dakota screaming as she was held back and unable to help him

Elijah shook her, trying to wake her from her nightmare. "Kota? Love? Wake up please" he begs

Dakota wasn't able to wake ups, shaking and whimpering. "Eli....." She muttered, scared

Eliijah holds her head to his chest, stroking her hair. "I'm here Kota, please wake up" he says begging her

Dakota woke with a gasp, fear still trapping her like chains as she began crying

Elijah continues to shake her, "Please, wake up!"

Dakota, shaking, woke up and cried

Elijah holds her close. "Shh, it's okay, Love" he says, wiping her tear away. "It was just a nightmare" he says, trying to reassure her

Dakota continued crying, unable to get the picture of Elijah being beat out of her mind

Elijah strokes her head as he stays quiet.
