Chapter 7: Your Blue Flowers

You are running through a field full of gorgeous blue flowers, you've never seen, wearing a long light dress. Your hair is flowing in the air whilst you run enjoying every step you move forward. Everything feels so light inside you, like you never experienced anything bad. The entirety is illuminating with bright soothing baby blue color. You feel like this is what angels see every day. You are free.

You smile to yourself.

Even air feels fresher then always. You secretly wish it would never end.

Then, flower after a flower starts to change colors, but all of them are left behind you as you run.

"I am going to make this last forever," you murmur to yourself. You want to stay in this magical land of spiritual freedom, which you never felt all your life so strongly.

It's easy to run. You feel like you could never lose your breath. You turn head to look at the flowers behind you. They are changing into mahogany red color. It looks like the field behind you is drowning in fresh blood.

Your start to wobble. Air gets thicker and it's hard to breathe. Instantaneously, it feels like you ran for hours; you stop to take a deep breath because those painted red flowers are still far behind you.

You realize you can't run anymore; Your hand is broken. It feels like all pain you ever felt is back in your body both spiritually and physically. You tremble on the ground whilst your body continually shakes from fear and fatique.

Everything is dark red. Waves of blood are dropping from the sky on this never-ending field of flowers. You manage to cover your face with your hands.

There isn't a sound.

You feel the warm blood all around your body. You are covered to your knees in it, whilst it ceaselessly flows all around the field. It looks like a one huge pool of blood.

You feel hopeless and lose your balance. You sit on your knees and look around. There's nothing. Only blood. Everything that made you happy just before was all gone now. Your dress turned bright red as a result of blood soaking into it and your hair is tangled and dripping with this gory fluid.

You hold your face with your hands and deeply breathe. Are you forced to sit in oblivion again?

You want this to end.

Everything is turning into a haze. You make out a few shrivelled blue flowers in front of you. You pick them up; your pain starts to slowly soothe and everything starts turning white.

-

You have never experienced a dream like this.

You think you had only because you are so distressed lately. You have a lot going on; you may never fully recover and you are stuck in a hospital for almost two weeks.

You sigh. It wouldn't make sense for you to live in a perfect world like that. You are a one busy woman as Lizzie says. You are a doctor and you have way too many responsibilities to think about a trivial nightmare.

"It's all because you are stressed and that is all to it," you decide to just forget it.

You need to find Erwin today before scouts march through the gate. You feel a little worried. It might be their last expedition anyhow...

You are feeling pleased apart from your broken hand. You are ready to face on of your most exhausting problems - Erwin's money.

You don't bother to dress up better - you know you are a mess right now, something like fancy clothing wouldn't help.

-

There are lot of people crowding nearby the main road. You know that scouts should show up at any moment. You keep glancing around until you hear horses rumbling in the far. You can hardly see anyone coming yet because there are many people obstructing the view. You aren't too short yourself, but it's still difficult due to few high men standing in front of you. You hear the crowd murmuring bunch of different things; some are mad at scouts, some are happy that it may be their end, some are proud and can't wait to see them, especially humanities strongest soldier, Levi. People seem to be impressed that he recovered and is already going on an expedition. Some probably wished for him to die judging from their voice tones...
