My voice ended up squeaking at the end and sounded a bit more hoarse than usual. It seemed like I was getting a cold but the odd part was that the rest of me felt perfectly fine. “Ack…ahem.” I cleared my throat for a moment and rolled over onto my side with a huff. Blue-green eyes remained closed as I went back to thinking about my dream. Or…at least I was trying to. I remembered…a field. One that closely resembled one of that I was in not more than a few days ago. But something odd was going on. Like…a smell. That’s right…now I remember. There was the smell of burning wood all around me, blurring my vision and stinging my eyes. I ran deep in the woods trying to find a way out, any way that could tear me apart from the growing agitation in my throat and the sounds of ringing in my ears. The cracking of trees, and the cawing of frightened birds. It was all getting a little bit to much to handle but I couldn’t make it stop. I felt…helpless. Something that I having felt in a while because I knew I was in control of any situation. Well…that’s just what I thought, no matter what anyone else around me said. I skidded to a stop and leaned back on my heels not quite in a sit but no longer standing straight up . My ears flattened and the scenery around me could be reflected through my eyes. Once vivid multi hued eyes now turned red by the flaming embers tearing the ground that I stood upon apart. Quite literally infact. I looked down with my eyes flashing from one foot to another. The ground was indeed splitting on its own right down the middle and that’s when the laughing came. First a low chuckle and then a loud mechanical and menacing laugh echoed above my head. I re-gained my footing and stood up straight. It was there. Maybe not it but I didn’t who it was. A girl? Boy? Was it even a wolf? I didn’t know. But as my mind tried to grasp hold of these thoughts swarming and bogging down my concentration, the eyes which glowed brighter than the fire…brighter than the sun itself stared down at me from what looked like the top of a cliff. My jaw dropped slightly and I felt myself about to say something but it wouldn't have mattered. My voice was lost in the sound of the ground giving way below me and that was it. I fell. I fell into a dark hole that just seemed to go on forever. Eventually I saw the ground below me and as I was just about to hit the ground… I woke up. My body, rigid and tremoring from the night terror that I just experienced, jolted upright with a feeling of urgency. My nails were digging in the ground repeatedly and I felt hot all over. This was getting ridiculous… how old was I and I was STILL having nightmares? My head shook and I growled a bit to myself. Not out of anger, but frustration. I didn’t get what was the problem here or why the same dream kept coming to me but it had to stop. Soon. Did you ever get the feeling that you were falling and you had no control over it. You wanted to get out but…you just couldn’t find the way out? Well that’s what I was still feeling. The sense of myself falling into nothing. And my mother always told me that I had to wake up before I hit the ground. Because if that happened…you just never woke up again. Growing more and more agitated by the second I finally lifted to my feet with a grunt and shook my body, which in turn caused a few leaves and pieces of snow to scatter about the area. My breath came out in small puffs of smoke as I made an attempt to re-gain my stature. I wasn’t some pup that constantly needed to be babied and comforted anymore. I was an adult now, and I was going to handle it as such. Pft, if anyone knew me I bet they’d laugh at that statement. My head turned from side to side as I looked around and finally I decided to talk a walk. It was better than sitting here all day and running the risk of falling back asleep. I could feel the crunching of the leave under my weight and the way it pricked up against the bottom of my paws, which by the way still felt as if they were burning up. Just then my stomach found the perfect time to interrupt my thoughts and rumbled. ”Hm.” I scrunched my nose as I thought of the idea of getting something to eat. I wanted to but at the same time I didn’t want to. It was a lot of work to do that, but yeah, I was a bit hungry. I sighed letting my breath out slowly. I walked until i found myself on a shore of a vast lake spaning what seemed at least a mile or two out into the distance. My paws slowed down as the dirt started mixing with the sand and getting into the spaces between my feet. I wasn't too fond of the feeling but let it rock anyway. Not like there was much i could do to resolve the problem. Eyes, head, and sholders were low when i finally reached where the water was barely touching my feet. A smile crossed my lips for a brief moment before i scrunched up my nose as my eyes squinted. The sun was blinding today and the water reflected that into my eyes. Today was a perfectly good day but my dear good friend Luna was off somewhere...and i was bored. Like, amazing bored. I didn't feel like hunting...too much energy. I didn't feel like eating as i just ate. And being in an area where i could smell the scent of other wolves bugged me. I wasn't used to being in a pack area, hence the reason i was still a loner, and just knowing that there was some stuck up, concieded, high-maintainance priss around here somewhere directing other wolves what to do and say made my hair stand on end. That's how my first alpha was described as to me. And hey, who's to say that most alpha's are like that? My body flopped down and iput my head on my paws watching the water flow back and forth, ripple with the wind blowing it ever so slightly. I wanted to sleep. But i couldnt...not after what happened earlier today. Bummer.
