Chap 29

Dante's POV 

To tell the truth, I was surprised at Allison's reaction. I had woken up from a deep sleep to the sound of someone gasping for breath. My first thought had been of Allison. Perhaps the traitors from earlier had come into my room, somehow outsmarted the guards, and had come to finish the job of killing me. I had sprung out of bed, eyes darting around the dark room but there had been no one there- only Allison. 

With glazed eyes, she gasped for breath and struggled. It was then I knew she was in the grip of a nightmare. For a moment, I wondered if she was having a seizure. I had gripped her sweat-soaked shoulders and attempted to hold her down when she cut me with her dagger. I wondered if that was the reason she was always with the dagger- to defend herself at all times especially when she was asleep.
