Nightwalk part II

Sarah woke screaming and tried to lift her head. The weight was overwhelming and her head throbbed. Immediately, she tried to move her hands to her head, but gravity kept them down. She sobbed and looked up at the ceiling instantly captivated by the mural. She noticed the wolfman bonded in silver chains, howling up at the full moon. The winged man, her savior, intently watched over him, perched on the top of a castle. A feeling of serenity washed over her as she stared into the golden eyes.
From the corner of her eye, a light shone. She slowly turned her head to see his golden eyes fixated on her. He tilted his head and very slowly glided over to her. He reached his hand forward and very lightly traced her cheek with his finger. The warmth of his touch, brought feeling back where feeling was lost. His hand swept over her right eye. The pain vanished. His hands lightly touched her cheek and he leaned down. She was entranced until his full warm lips covered hers and she closed her eyes, feeling exhilarated. However, the moment was brief. She opened her eyes and he was gone. Did she imagine him? She tried to lift her arm, but still could not. Her eyes felt heavy again and she closed them.
