Giovanni Leone Santorini's POV

     I grab his neck and strangled it viciously. This time, I felt his flesh in my hand. I could feel my muscles tightens as I tightened my grip on his neck. "FUCK, GIOO!..." I heard a strangling scream, and it wasn't a sound of him, but a sound of a woman. Suddenly, a loud slap stinging my cheek jolted me up and I involuntarily release her neck. Realization hit me like a punch.

Enna!

I froze. In a daze, I tried to focus my vision and I saw Enna who was holding her neck and she was coughing breathlessly, gasping as she desperately trying to breathe in oxygen. Her face and lips went pale. I watch her as she was gasping. I wanted to reach for her, but I couldn't move my body nor my hands. 

It's all a nightmare. And it seems like it's all true. I saw that guy's back, raping my sister.

Fear rushes throughout my system and it settled in my heart. My blood suddenly rushes throughout my system, and I felt again my muscles were back to normal. I suddenly crawled closer to Enna, dread suddenly filled me. "I'm sorry, bambolina. I'm so sorry.." I reach for her and she didn't flinch. I felt a bit relieved. Her pale lips and face color are now slowly turning to normal. My heart beats were beating too fast. My heart clenched when I saw my fingers left a mark on her neck.

"It's alright, Gio. You are having a nightmare. I was trying to wake you up, but you suddenly grabs my neck and started strangling me." Her eyes were filled with worries and I felt so angry of myself. It's been a while since the nightmare last visited me. Since I slept with her, I never had that nightmare. And now, it came back. It all came back and I almost killed her.

A stray tear escapes my eyes as I pulled her to me. I felt so sick of myself. I almost killed her. The thought lingered in my head, and I wanted to shot myself. I wanted to punish myself.

"Shh... It's fine. I'm fine," she cooed and hugs me back. I didn't know what to say. I just feel the tightening of my muscles from the anger for myself. I dreaded myself. "Don't blame yourself, please ..." She rubs my back with her palm in circles. "It's just a dream." She consoled me, but that didn't change the fact that I almost killed her.

"Go back to sleep, Gio. It's still two in the morning," she pulls away after a while and I shook my head. I don't want to go back to sleep. I'm scared I might do something worse this time.

"Don't be ridiculous, babe. It's just a nightmare. Everything will be alright. Go back to sleep," Enna lay again on her back and patted her side for me to lay beside her. "No, bambolina. I'm not going back to sleep. Go to sleep and I'll watch you," I shook my head, too scared to have that nightmare again. My insides are still shaking with fear.

Then, just lay beside me then," she begs and I know she's not going to let me win, so I lay beside her and scoop her head to my shoulder. The fear settles in my heart. I felt her hand curled around my waist with her leg rest on mine. She nuzzled her head on my shoulder and I felt her breathings kissing my neck. My hand lightly brushing her silky hair and occasionally pressing my lips on her forehead.

"What did you dream about Gio?" she cautiously asked after a while.

I shut my eyes and inhaled deeply before I responded. "I saw the guy," I felt choking as I relate it to her. "The guy who rape my sister. I saw his back on top of my sister, forcing himself to my sister. I saw how my sister was pleading for him to stop him. I saw how he rips her sleepwear, then force her, .."
