Til death due us part

Blurry Memories

Sola's P.O.V

I suddenly found myself in my house. I looked around me, startled. What was going on? How could I be home when it must have been destroyed during the titan invasion when I was young? I was cut out of my thoughts by voice of a little girl.

"Momma, what are we doing to do today?" I heard the little girl's voice excitedly ask someone. I snapped my heads towards the voice, seeing two blurred figures across the room, standing near the door. I could see that one of the figures was in the shape of a child and the other was the woman. I couldn't pick out much detail of either of them, the child almost completely blurred out. The woman wasn't quite blurred out and I could see her long dark brown hair and her dress, but I couldn't see her face as she had her back to me. Who were these two people and why were they in my dream? I was cut out of my thoughts as the woman began talking, answering the child's question.

"Well my little sunshine, we are going to do a little shopping today." The woman told the child, pulling a bag onto her back. Wait, sunshine? That's what Mike called me today! Did this woman have to do something with the reason why I felt like I heard someone call me that before? But surely it couldn't, I'm sure I would've remembered if some stranger referred to me as sunshine. Maybe the woman wasn't actually a stranger to me. I began walking forward, wanting to find out this woman's identity. Just as I reached forward to place my hand on her shoulder so that I could get her attention, the scene in front of my changed. There was a bright flash of orange and yellow light and I could hear a piercing sound ring through the air. I suddenly found myself standing in the streets of the city, a huge rock in front of me. I could hear the voice of the woman from early whispering something. I tilted my head slightly, listening closely.

"Run my little sunshine." I could hear her voice say. There was that nickname again, sunshine. I was about to speak up and ask this strange woman who she was and why I couldn't remember her. I wanted to her ask her why I felt like she was referring to me when she said sunshine. But just as I was about to voice my questions, I felt the ground began to shake. Feeling a sense of déjà vu, I looked up only to see a titan had suddenly appeared, the rock in its hands. I could only let out a small scream in shock, frozen in place as it began reaching forward with its free hand. Just before it grabbed me, I felt someone yank my arm, pulling me towards them. I turned toward the person, stepping back only to find myself facing a younger Lunette. She was the same age as when we first met. She opened her mouth, looking like she was about to scold me. But instead of scolding me, she said something else.

"Sola you need to wake up. Sola! Wake up Sola!" She told me, her voice sounding faint as she reached out and began shaking me. Wait, what? What was going on about? I was about to ask her what she meant when my vision started to go blurry, feeling myself begin to blackout.

I woke up suddenly, shooting up. I felt my head collide with something hard and heard something stubble back. I noticed I was panting hard as tears began to form in my eyes. I looked up, my eyes adjusting to the darkness, noticing that Lunette was standing their looking at me while I stared at her in confusion. I realized that Lunette must have tried waking me up and that I must have hit my head against hers when I shot up in my bed as I woke up from the nightmare I had. I sat still, watching her walk towards me slowly, sitting at the foot of my bed.

"Soul, are you okay? You were having a nightmare and began screaming and thrashing around. I decided to wake you up, I'm sorry I startled you like that." She explained. All I could do was nod, reaching up to wipe the tears away from eyes. I could feel Lunette reach her hand out, grabbing onto my free hand and giving it a squeeze.

"Do you want to talk about?" She asked me. I just shook my head, not really sure how to explain my dream. I was confused, not understanding it all. I felt I was witnessing a memory from another perspective but how could that be possible? I shook my head again, try to clear my head. I looked up at Lunette who was looking at me with concern.

"No, it's fine. I can't really remember much." I told her, lying. "But I think I'm going to go the washroom and maybe take a quick shower. I feel like it would help relax me a little." She nodded, falling for my lie and realizing I still felt a little tense from the dream. She nodded to me and moved from my bed, allowing me to stand up. I walked over to grab some clean clothes before I left the room. I was only halfway to the washroom before I noticed that Lunette was chasing after me, yelling my name. I stop, turning to face her, confused. Why was she running after me? I told her I was just going to go shower. Soon Lunette came to a stop in front of me.

"Soul! What the fuck?" She panted out "You shouldn't be wandering around without any damn pants on, someone could see you!" I blinked as she pointed down. I looked down, only now realizing that I was indeed not wearing any pants. Oh shit! I forgot I didn't put any on when I went to bed. I turned red before I turned around sprinted into the washroom, not wanting to get caught by anyone else who might have been walking around this late at night. I stood and made my way one of the empty stalls, sitting my clothes onto the bench located outside it. I walked in and turned the water, stepping beneath the falling water. I closed my eyes and slid onto the ground, relaxing beneath the warm stream. Ugh, I cannot believe I didn't notice that earlier, thank god I didn't get caught by anyone else and that I also remembered to bring in clean clothes with me. My thoughts began to turn back to the nightmare I had just had. I decided to clear my head, realizing that I wasn't going to succeed in doing anything other than giving myself a headache. I stood up after a moment and turned off the water before stepping out. I began drying myself off and then put my clothes on. I was about to head back to the room, feeling relaxed now. But I stopped when I thought of an idea. I know! I turned to head toward the kitchen, deciding to go make myself a cup of hot cocoa before I went back to bed, knowing I would be more likely to fall asleep afterwards.
