Hăkon's Revenge

By 18lzytwner

Chapter 1

Stephanie sat up in bed. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears. Her shoulder-blade length hair was plastered to her neck and face. At first she was a little disorientated, but then looking around she was still safe in the airship. Sportacus seemed to still be sleeping. The man was amazing. He could sleep through anything yet when his crystal went off it was up and at 'em.

Slowly, Stephanie got out of bed and went into the bathroom. She washed her face and neck with cool water trying to shake the nightmare from her mind. It had been a long time since the incident yet she couldn't get the feel of the gun to the side of her head out of her mind. Something bothered her that it had been too easy to escape. Hăkon could've killed her at any time. Why did he wait until Sportacus and his father were so close? A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Are you alright, honey?" her husband asked through the door.

"I don't know." She answered letting him in. Sportacus wrapped his strong muscular arms around her.

"You've been waking up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, and during the day you seem jumpy. Come on tell me what's going on." He begged her. Stephanie wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head under his chin.

"I just keep having the same nightmare over and over. I can't get rid of it. Lately, I've been afraid to go to sleep. Then tonight the dream changed and it scared me half to death." She told him. Sportacus scooped her up and brought her back to bed.

"I'm sorry. Maybe if you tell me about it you will be able to get some sleep." He suggested as he put her back under the covers. Then sliding into bed himself, he pulled her close. Stephanie rested her head on his shoulder and told him everything.

When she got to the part about Hăkon putting the gun to her head, Sportacus looked very uncomfortable. He hated to hear about how close they had really gotten to being apart forever. This is where Stephanie surprised him.

"Instead of you and your father bursting in to save me, I heard the bullet enter the chamber and then…" she stopped, unable to bring herself to finish the thought. Sportacus frowned and saw how scared Stephanie was.

Neither one said anything for a few minutes. Perhaps it was because they were unsure of what to say or maybe because the thought of not being to together bothered them. Sportacus rolled onto his side and looked at Stephanie. Her dark brown eyes were pleading with him to make it all go away. Something in the back of his mind told him that maybe he couldn't. Then he kissed her gently. She kissed him back and they lay holding each other until finally Stephanie went to sleep.

Sportacus, however, remained awake. It bothered him that Stephanie had been having these nightmares. A feeling of helplessness washed over him. What was he going to do? How could he help the love of his life?

In the morning, Stephanie awoke to find she was alone in bed. Getting up, she looked around for her husband. Her search didn't last long, at least up in the airship. Shrugging her shoulders, Stephanie jumped into the shower. He probably had to go save someone and he didn't want to wake me, she thought.

Sportacus was saving someone. At least that's what he hoped. His father had stayed in LazyTown and was living at the Mayor's. Sportacus wanted to talk to him about Stephanie to see if his mother had had the same problem.
