..._-+-_...

Blood hit the torn up and jagged pieces of metal littered all around. Yells and shouts echoed around the crackling of flames as the booms of explosions. A shrill scream of pain pierced the air above all the noise, and more blood hit the floor.

'...hear... That...? Some...else...trapped...'

That voice managed to break the through the noises of destruction all around them. The sound of metal bending and glass shattering started to echo around the space now, someone was trying to get here...

The images of fire, destruction, blood; bodies... It all started to blur and fade away as she lost consciousness.

Why am I remembering... This now...?

Alumina!

..._-+-_...

Alumina started up in the bed suddenly, eyes wide in terror, gasping for air as she was jolted from the horrible memory. But the sudden movement caused her body to flare up in an unbelievable amount of pain, and she cringed back down in the pillow, eyes shut tight.

"Damn it!" She hissed in pain, jaw clenched and teeth grinding down on each other.

"Are you ok?"

The question caused her to stiffen. It was calm, but she couldn't help but notice the worry in it... But she knew that voice, it was a little unnerving that it wasn't laced with anger or hate...

Her eyes slowly opened and shifted to the side, and her head twisted a little so she could see the person standing there, eyes widening in utter shock.

"N-Natsu...?" She stammered. Natsu was standing at the edge of the bed, face pulled into a frown as he looked her over slowly.

"You ok? You looked like you were having a pretty bad dream..." He murmured. She just blinked at him, staying silent for the moment. She couldn't really process why he was here... But...

Ignoring the pain it caused, she lunged up into a sitting position, and raised a hand.

Smack

Alumina glared at him after slapping him on the cheek, hard. The skin turned pink after the impact, and Alumina clenched her jaw as she resisted the urge to wince after moving so fast, again.

It hurt like hell to move, let alone lunge up in her bed so suddenly like she had for the second time in a row. She wrapped her arms around her stomach, letting her eyes scrunch closed in pain.

Damn it...!

"Please... Just take it easy...ok..?" She opened her eyes to look Natsu's way again as he spoke up. He was looking at her with that worry on his face she wasn't used to from him, and even more surprisingly, he didn't seem at all bothered by the fact that she had slapped him.

"I hope you know you deserved that." She muttered through gritted teeth and he nodded a little, looking away from her and at the floor.

"Yeah..." He mumbled. Alumina narrowed her eyes at him, he seemed oddly...

Oh... Just odd...

"Something wrong?" She questioned him and he shook his head.

"No..." He mumbled. Alumina blinked a few times, before letting out a silent sigh, the waves of pain sweeping over her body subsiding.
