Dreams. Waking up in a cold sweat the young girl peered around her room. There was nothing there? Or at least from what the human eye cold see. Her heavy breathing fastening as the darkness caved in around her. The howling winds loudly as the dim light from the moon gave her some comfort. Calming down the girl recalled her dream. Running. Running as fast as she could, many plans forming as she did so. No matter how far she ran the thing chasing her only continued. No matter how loud her screams were it never stopped. Placing her hand on her chest she calmed down once more. Laying back she drifted off to sleep after righting down her dream.

Darkness. The pitch black room so dark yet so bright. The chirping of the crows and ravens seemly the only noise. Crouching behind a wall Nami peered around the room. It was strange. This place was strange.. Sneaking along the back wall the sound of her quiet steps echoing ever so slightly. A dark object that seemed to have a dim flickering light source lighting up the dark area. Sitting next to it Nami gazed upon it questions and thoughts running through her head. Not even seconds later the girl panicked. Her heartbeat picking up as she felt chills run down her spin. Run. Her mind telling her to run. Standing up she sprinted away from the room she was in. The clicking of her feet echoing down the long narrow halls. Coming to a stop she panted. Was it safe?

Pain. A bloodcurdling scream echoed a crossed the large building. Terror ran through her veins. Looking around suspiciously before slowly walking along the wall. Spotting every single crow, raven and weird looking item. That panic she once felt now returning. She could practically hear the loud drum of her heartbeat. That chill constantly running down her spine. Loud thumping footsteps grew close. The suspense growing more fear and terror. The young girl shaking in her boots gazing around in fear. Now face to face with that of something inhuman. She couldn’t describe what it looked like. But it was scary alright. Turning away she ran. Ran as fast as she could. But it was faster. It would swipe its weapon at her. Causing her to scream in pain, trying to dash away from the creature attacking her sweat formed and dropped down her face.

End. There has to be a way out. There has to be a way for her to escape.. Right? RIGHT?! The adrenaline was going to wear off soon. She can’t keep this up. One more hit and she’s done for she isn’t a shinobi like others, she doesn’t have their endurance. There has to be something she can do. She’s not made for this. This wasn’t supposed to happen. This isn’t how she’s supposed to die. Not this way. Anything but this. A loud ringing noise alerted Nami. Her running seemed to speed up, gazing behind her she no longer saw the inhuman creature.

Awake. Another bloodcurdling scream ripped through the air. Springing awake from the sound of the scream Nami looked around in fear. Soon realizing the scream was that of her own. Looking at her shakey hands as she reached for the notebook by her bed. Picking up the pen she wrote down her ‘dream’. Just as she finishing writing everything down a voice spoke out to her almost. She’d listen closely, although the words were mumbled and hard to hear. Sighing as she barely understand a thing it said. Sliding out of bed Nami walked to her window. Opening up the curtain she saw nothing but broad daylight. It was nice. Stretching the female entered her work room and sat at her desk with a content smile.
