Bold words are thoughts btws

Asuna's P.O.V

I awoke with a startle. I jumped in my bed, and I felt as if I was falling. I really do hate that feeling I get in the middle of the night.

I was in an unknown place. I was laying on a comfortable bed, but it wasn't mine. It smelled like cookies just came out of a hot oven, if that makes sense. The room surrounding me was a wooden log house, with no windows. It was really dark because of this. Despite this feeling of comfort, I realized that I needed to leave this place. I had to get back to Kirito, where ever he was.

The though engraved in my mind, and I started to freak out inside my mind. Where am I?

I got up, and tried to activate my search skill so I could see clearer. It wouldn't activate though. It must have gotten disabled somehow... I thought to myself.

I walked around the room for a bit, searching for a way out. It didn't seem like there was a way out though.

"Look to the right..." I got startled, jumped to the l left. A weird voice in my head told me to look to the right, but it wasn't my voice from my head.

I decided I would look to the right, and there was a door on the wall. That door was NOT there before.

When I reached the door, I opened it, and was faced with a hall way. I peeked down the hallway to find the hallway being endless. There were door upon doors, which seemed like they would never end in both directions.

I started to breath quickly as my eyes buldged out. I ran to the right, and opened the first door to find nothing but another door. I ran and opened that one, and was faced with another long hallway, with an endless amount of doors. Am I lost?

I kept running for what seemed like forever, and never found an end. Door after door, I found I was being driven crazy. I opened at least 200 doors by now, and my head was spinning in circles at 100 miles per hour.

I gave up soon enough. I fell to my knees and started crying into my hands. "I'm hopelessly lost!" I pleaded into my hands, hot tears streaming down my face.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and when I looked up, I was faced with Kirito. "Kirito!" I practically screamed, and jumped into his arms, hugging him all over.

"Help me Kirito! I'm helplessly lost!" I pleaded. What am I saying? It felt like I wasn't even thinking straight anymore. He pushed me off of him and held my waist. He didn't say anything, but instead, grabbed my hand and turned around to start walking. I followed, and a bright white light appeared, and we walked into it.

.........................

I opened my eyes with a gasp, and looked up. I was in a stadium, where two people would duel eachother. Like back in SAO... I thought to my self.

Wait, why am I not in the crowd, but on the field? That means... I'm one of the duelers.

I looked ahead, and was faced by Kirito in his initial sword fight stance. Am I dueling Kirito? He was wearing his old clothes from SAO. Does that mean...

I looked down, and realized I was in my Knights of the Blood Oath uniform, and was holding my old rapier.

I don't want to duel Kirito though, I might end up killing him! I thought to my self, a worried expression spreading across my face.
