The nightmare was far from over for Celestia Crawford. Laying unconscious on the bench of the boat. Unaware of what exactly was happening to the crew around her. Her heart was racing. She didn't have to be awake to know that it was something attacking them..

Surrounded by darkness around her as she glanced around. "Hello?!" She asked. "Zoro? Sanji?" She called out. It felt too real for her. Like she was awake and had ended up elsewhere. Unable to tell if it was still a dream or a reality. "Is anyone there?"

She got no reply. The silence freaking her out as she got nervous. Walking a bit forward but nothing seemed to change. "Anyone?!" She spoke up. "I don't like this. I want to go back to the others." She spoke. Feeling like she wasn't alone.

"Please.." Celestia mumbled as she walked further ahead. Her movements getting desperate as she picked up the pace. Jogging as she tried to find a way out. The empty void making her uneasy as she glanced around. It made her feel not alone in the wrong ways.

Her jogging becoming running as she ran until she couldn't. Falling to her knees as she teared up. "I don't want to be here." She spoke up. Glancing down as she wiped her eyes. Sitting down as she gave up trying to move.

She wanted to go back into the arms of her favorite grumpy swordsman or the man she had fallen for. She wanted to feel his presence and his comfort. Not the cold loneliness that the void around her provided.

As she wiped her teary eyes the darkness around her began to shift. The sounds of people whispering and yelling filling what once was silent. Making her cover her ears as she brought her knees up to her chest.

Hands beginning to sprout around her as she got up immediately. Keeping her hands over her ears. The hands growing in number as they grabbed her before dragging her away. It terrified her as she yelled. Knowing no one could hear the panic in her voice.

Her eyes closing tightly as she covered her ears a bit more. She wanted things to end. To go back to normal. She could feel herself falling but was too scared to open her eyes. She knew it was definitely a dream. A nightmare. A loop of things she already saw before.

Feeling herself stop falling as she was hesitant to open her eyes. Slowly opening them before removing her hands from her ears. Glancing around as she was back to her childhood home. The memories it brought back flooding her.

It was exactly how she remembered it. The trees on fire as she noticed the fights going on around her. The path she once loved to walk with her father every morning to collect flowers for her mother since she was three, drenched in blood by her family's and the enemy's.

Shuffling forward a bit as she didn't like what she saw. Walking down the path. Her boots stepping into the blood puddles. In front of her she saw herself. Walking barefoot and seeing the people she knew and loved perish.

Hearing her own cries for her parents. The cries she couldn't forget. She was just a kid. A kid who wanted to have peace and a loving family. She had it all and just like she had it, it was snatched from her.

One of the crew carrying her but dropping her in a matter of seconds. Dead on the floor from being killed. Crying harder than before as she moved back a bit.

The enemy before her ready to slash down on her but dropped dead by another crew who saved her in time. Picking her up and running off.

Celestia followed as she knew exactly where to go. Watching the woman who saved her hide with her. Staying with her for hours as the sky above them grew darker into the night.

She couldn't handle reliving that moment over and over again. Crouching down as she covered her face. "Please. Someone make it stop. Make it go away." She spoke as she sobbed into her hands. Wiping away her tears over and over again. Knowing what was coming next as she didn't want to get back up.
