Bloody 20's

Chapter 3 : Just a Dream ?

11th of January of 1924

Flaky woke up abruptly , covered in cold sweat. Her heart was clashing against her chest at full speed and every deep breath she took felt like it was going to be the last one. Her long quills were so tensed up that they were perforating the mattress and pillows with great amounts of dandruffs covering them. The girl reached her hands and slowly touched her face , the pain of the glass stabbing her eyes and the vehicle crashing against her was still vivid in her mind but not in her body.

What had just happened ?

The anxious porcupine's mind was running wild in trying to find an explanation to this confusion.

Was it just a nightmare ?

That seemed to be the most logical answer to her , but she didn't remember laying on bed in the first place.

Maybe ......... She was too tired that she forgot it ?

She slowly stood up from her bed and pulled out the objects that were attached to her quills , she was still wearing the same clothes that she wore yesterday (and they seemed intact of any damage , which made the girl firmly believed that she just had a nightmare ).

The porcupine left the room and walked into the kitchen , everything that she had used to make her breakfast the day prior was still placed the same way she had left them.

-" ( How strange , why I didn't clean the kitchen when I arrived ?)". Flaky thought , while throwing away the now spoiled milk into the trash and washing the dirty cup in the sink.

Some knocks on the door were heard when she had finished , so she dried her hands on her coat and then went to open it.

-" Good morning , Flaky !". Greeted her Cuddles.

The girl jumped a little at the sudden visit of the rabbit , both out of shock for his abruptly greeting and for the nightmare she was still nervous about.

-" G-G-Good morning to you t-too , C-Cuddles ". The porcupine said with great stuttering , her quills got tensed up again with this small fright.

-" Why are you so nervous ? , yesterday you were having a great time with us !". Spoke the yellow rodent in his usual cheerful tone of voice.

The girl felt more anxious at the mention of the day prior , so she felt that she had to inquiry for the sake of some peace of mind.
