Ichabod - Episode 35

 Later that night, Harmony lay on her bed with Ichabod beside her. She was lying on his chest while he put an arm around her

She found comfort in his arms and it was like all the worries of the day were gone except for one thing. She was still confused about one thing and that was, why he never tried to come out of the car. He could have tried, couldn’t he? And why was she suddenly begin to feel like she may not know him after all. First, the Debby issue and now Michael said something about him not being who he seemed to be. Yes, the vampire was something too ridiculous but what if he was really not who he claimed to be. She didn’t know anything about him and…

“Are you okay?” he asked again.

“Yes, I’m okay,” she replied, lifting up her head and looking into his eyes.

“Are you still worried about the event today or how you would tell Tracy about us dating?”

She chuckled, “all of the above actually.”

He brushed pack her hair and planted a kiss on her forehead. “You are still in shock, you will get over it when you sleep. Tracy is a smart girl, she will find out eventually. When is she coming back from her school camping?”

“In a couple of days.”

“Alright, you need to catch some sleep.” He said, standing up.

She wished he didn’t have to go but maybe it was best

. He probably needed some time to himself as well. They kissed and he pulled th blanket over her before he finally left the room.

She shut her eyes, desperatly blocking Michael’s voice from her head. The man was just crazy, that was all. He was still probably furious with the way Ichabod had saved the day during  the Halloween party…she could remember every scene and how Ichabod had looked. He had looked really scary, if not that it was a costume party, maybe she would have been scared to death on finding him like that. That just reminded her of the fact that she never actually asked for the costume itself, maybe she needed to see it and show Michael when he was finally out of jail.

She turned to her side, gathering the blanket with her, she could still smell Ichabod’s cologne all over her…she wanted him so badly and was tired of all the kissing kissing…when were they going to do th real thing? She sighed and turned on her back. Maybe he was not over his wife yet or maybe he was trying not to rush her but she really wanted to be rushed…

She inhaled sharply…she needed to sleep…she needed to sleep…she needed…she..sh…!

She found herself below a bridge as she clung to her daughter…looking into the far distance to whoever had saved them from the car accident. The only thing she saw was a shadow of someone in the darkness, looking at them, watching them….until it disappeared as the siren got closer…

She opened her eyes immediately…that was the night she had almost got herself and her daughter involved in an accident and someone had saved them… What could have brought that right now?

She sighed. She really had a long day.

. She shut her eyes again….

She was being chased in the woods…branches scratched her arms and her legs as she kept running from those pursuing her…

All of a sudden she felt something sharp cut her ankle and she slippe, screaming as the pain lanced through her. By the time she was able to stand up, a cold hand gripped her aroud the neck and more hands gripped her by the ankles…she didn’t see their face,,the only thing she saw was a total blackness…. In the next scene she woke up all of a sudden and realised her legs were covered in dried blood. Her cloths were torn and her hair was covered in dirt. She looked around her and she realised she had been raped… she screamed but no sound came out of her….she was really tired…in the next flash, she saw herself being lifted on to the back of a horse, as she stared into the eyes of her savior…with a thick lustrous hair reaching his shoulders and deep blue eyes……Ichabod!

She woke up again!

Ichabod checked the time, it was some minutes past eleven and he was supposed to go and see Rashidat and Adams.

Quickly he stood up and was about to open the door when the door opened. He was surprised to see Harmony. She looked sleepy but why was she here now?

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“I can’t sleep. I keep having these dreams, I thought it was a dream intitially, but now, I think they are memories long suppressed…Ichabod, please have we met before?”

The question came to him by surprise.

“I apologize Harmony but I am not sure of what you mean?”

She sighed and sat on the bed. “I don’t understand it myself but, I saw you lifting me on a horse…and I could have sworn I saw a man who must have looked like you at a scene of accident some months back but I may be wrong and….she sighed, “Ichabod, please can you sleep in my room tonight? I think I'm going crazy.”

While Ichabod was about to answer, his phone chimed, “Michael discovered we were fake polices, he might be on to us, I’m scared. We need Odin, we have the ring. Please come quickly.”
