Explosions, blood, fire, screams, pain...

Damn it... Why is...this...?

This was horrible, it having been the third time this same damn dream had popped into her head as she slept. Yeah, by now she knew it was a dream for sure, but she couldn't seem to wake up from it. That left her to just sit still and watch it play out before her. She had to sit still, and endure the pain it caused. Now she was a little more sure of what was going on around her, even though most of it was still distorted and confusing.

Everything was distorted... Confusing, blurry, the details weren't really there.

A high-pitched scream of agony pierced the hot, smoky air. The sound of flesh being torn and bone breaking echoed into the sound of explosions and the crackling of flames.

The world was getting darker, and the pain just kept washing over her as everything got swallowed up by a curtain of black...

Alumina kept her gaze locked on the tiles of the roof she was walking over. She sweatdropped a little, casting a very quick glance over the edge of the building toward the ground a fair ways below. She didn't really like heights, but she had to keep moving. She slowed down a little more and took a deep breath as she tried to focus on keeping her balance, on shaky legs.

What the hell was I thinking?!

It caused pain to shoot through her body as she moved, especially her stomach, and she could feel a little light-headedness coming on as she kept walking. Her head hurt, she felt weak, and exhausted too. But she was determined to keep going, even if she wasn't feeling up to it. She knew she shouldn't be out of bed, if there had been anyone in her room with her, they would have probably forced her to sit still.

She sweatdropped a little more when she thought about the angry words she would receive from anyone who found out she wasn't in her bed like she should be. Porlyusica was her worst fear; she hadn't gotten to know the woman very well, but she knew the old lady had quite the temper, and she wasn't someone you wanted to make angry.

Part of her need to get away from being stuck in that bed, was the slight fear of falling asleep again. She shuddered a little; she wasn't proud of it, but that same damn dream was unnerving her the more it occurred. She hated it, and just wished it would stop.

Why do I keep dreaming about that anyway?

She shook her head to clear it of the thought, and focused on where she was going. The sun was starting to set over Magnolia, it casting shadows across the ground, and tinting everything with a fiery orange glow. It was getting late, yesterday she had had her talk with Natsu, which, had turned into a light-hearted friendly chat after they had agreed to be friends. The thought of it made her smile a little, but it quickly disappeared as she focused on walking over the roof.

The other reason she was out of bed, was because she was looking for Natsu. She hadn't seen him around all day, though, she had been speaking with someone else for most of the day... She had a feeling he was up here, and she just wanted to make sure he was ok. He seemed to be in a better mood since yesterday, but she was still a little worried. She came to a sudden halt when she tripped a little, and she swayed a bit before balancing out again. The small stumble had caused her heart to race, and she let out a long breath, hoping to calm down. She let her eyes close as she stood perfectly still for a moment.
