Astrid tossed in her sleep as the usual nightmares plagued her mind; Peter woke up at the movement and instantly took her in to his arms tightly, letting out softly, "Love, hey, hey, wake up. It's alright. I'm here."
Astrid woke with a start and breathlessly began, "They're gone... All of them will be dead..." Tears fell down her cheeks coldly as Peter leaned up and rubbed her back soothingly.
Peter made her look at him by cupping one side of her face, saying gently, "It was just a bad dream. You're safe, A. We're safe."
Astrid buried her face in his chest as both laid back down, him still holding her in his arms. She glanced up at him with watery eyes and murmured, "I-I can't lose you."
"And you won't-- just like I won't lose you," Peter assured her and kissed her forehead, "I promise."
Astrid inhaled and slowly nodded, laying back down in his warm embrace. She glanced over at the other side of the room and noticed Dark Astrid with a proud grin on her face.
Dark Astrid smirked and straightened up from leaning against the wall as she spoke up, "It's all fixing to happen— very soon."
Astrid shuddered as Peter's arms tightened around her, comforting her.
"The gem was born of true love but molded into evil's fire. The gem shall be his portal. He comes to claim, he comes to sire. The end of all things mortal..." A voice repeated in her mind suddenly.
Astrid's blue eyes shot back open as she quickly sat up, the same symbols starting to appear on her skin again. "Pe-Peter?"
She warily glanced over at her love to find that his abdomen had been sliced open deeply as blood were everywhere around him now. "No, no!"
Astrid moved onto her knees and looked down at the blood coating her hands and the dagger in her left hand that also had blood on the blade.
Tears pooled in her eyes again as she tossed the dagger on the edge of the bed and now held the now-dead Peter in her arms, desperately kissing him as she let out, "Please come back to me..."
But he didn't.
Astrid cried and hugged his body closer and tighter. "This can't be bloody real... This isn't real..."
Astrid looked up to find that he was still dead and let out a sob and moved off of the bed, standing to her feet.
Dark Astrid appeared in front of her, saying, "You see? You get everyone around you dead... or worse. You should just end your life now before anyone else dies."
