A World of Unknown

All in her Dreams

Mako stumbled blindly through the hallways, her head filled with thoughts, questions, and grief. Her eyes were watering, and she couldn't feel anything but hurt.

The tears added up, and she fell to her knees. She had lost all of her friends. And it haunted her to know she wouldn't see them again. She curled up in a ball, and shivered. "Mako, be brave!" She thought to herself. "Get up!"

But her legs refused to get up, and everywhere hurt. "Mako get up!" She called in her mind, but yet again, she refused. She laid on the ground, feeling helpless. She lost her friends all in one night, all for what. Just to have a lavatory break?

It seemed like a cruel punishment, forever stuck in this ball, the thought of her death inevitable. She heard faint pitter patter of footsteps coming from in front of her, and she looked up, right at the limping bunny, blood dripping off the knife, and her costume covered in it.

"So this is how I die. Just take me." Mako thinks to herself. She only wished to be with her friends, and now they were all gone, she only wished for death. The bunny came closer and closer every second, and Mako refused to get up. "I don't want to be here anymore. Not without them, my dear friends."

Her memories of her friends came rushing back at the mention of the word. Their Sensha-do matchs, going out to eat food, the last memories she would see. She felt as Saori trying to wake her up, wait she felt Saori shaking her?

Mako slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes opened wide, and Saori staring right at her.

"Mako! I've been trying to wake you up for the past 10 minutes!" Saori cries out. "We're going to be late fo our trip!"

"What? Is this a dream?" Mako asks her friend.

"Mako? Are you alright?" Saori asks, "Did you hurt yourself? Don't you remember we have our trip to the carnival today?"

"Wha- oh yeah... I forgot." Mako replies, resisting the urge to tell her friend about the dream. She couldn't believe how realistic it was, how she felt everything.

Mako enters the tank, and begins to drive herself and her friends to the carnival. As she drives down the road in her dream, she looks over at her right side, and see the horrid place. The pizza plex was there, and filled with people. It shocked her, not for that she didn't know it existed, but it was real, and it was the same as her dream.

Mako popped her head out of the hatch, and watched as people went in. But something caught her attention, was a small boy, wearing a blue striped collared shirt, messy brown hair, sneak into the Pizza plex from a entrance on the side, and quietly enter.

She couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and got back into the tank.

"Lets go Mako! We don't want to be late." Hana called down to her friend.

"Gotcha." She mumbled, and hit the gas driving away from the place of her nightmares.
