He dreamt he was warm. He couldn't see anything, he heard nothing, he only felt warmth. It surrounded him, caressed him, swayed him gently in peaceful sleep.
And then it started to fade. Like a warm blanket being slowly drawn away, it started at his toes, an icy coldness. It slowly moved it way up his body, replacing feeling of security with that of concern, and then terror as it engulfed his whole body... He heard a voice... So feint. He couldn't make it out at first, but it neared with incredible speed. With it came a sinking feeling, as if all of the world were about to collapse beneath him; He was against a wall; he couldn't move, his chest hurt more than anything he had ever felt in his life.
He looked up and saw a familiar face. One he had once loved. Her eyes were wide in horror. She screamed his name. He couldn't respond. He eyes went from horrified to suddenly blank... empty... lifeless.
He snapped awake with a gasp, reaching to his chest... It didn't hurt anymore... It was a dream... He was okay... No... No he wasn't. He'd been having that dream way too much lately.
He looked around expecting to see his room, but instead saw the infirmary. What the? Of course! The last nights events came back to him, and his attention came to the bed at his side. It was empty. He looked about confused for a moment, and then saw an IV hanging from it's rack... Damn!
He stood up quickly, and looked around... "Andrea?!" No response... Where was she?! How long had he been out? He looked up to the clock... Oh god, it was morning already!
The man turned and sprinted out of the lab's doors, fearing the worst... That when he made it to Andrea's room, she wouldn't be there.
He was correct.
