I sat up with a jolt.
Looking around, everything was on fire or burned to the ground. "No, no. This.. This can't be..."
Noticing I'm in my bed, I slide out of it and stand up on the charred floor. I look down, seeing I have slippers on. "Odd..." I walk to where my room door should be, and step into where the hallway of the mansion should also be. I slowly start to walk down the stairs when it hits me like a wall. The smell of burning flesh.
"What.. happened... here?" I choke out, not believing what I see when I reach the bottom of the stairs.
The living room, scorched. Charred bodies lying everywhere, too blackened to be identified. The smell of it all is horrible. A single tear rolls down my cheek, falling, and hitting the blackened ground. "This... no...." What happened here?
"Hello?"
No answer.
No one here.
No one alive.
I slept through all of this? No, this CAN'T be happening...
Something isn't right...
I continue to venture the blackened mansion, first investigating the kitchen, then walking past the blackened bodies once more and traveling to the basement. Nothing. No sign as to what happened. Alex? Apocalypse? WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!
"Hello?" I try again. Still nothing.
Walking back to the living room, I hear something. A voice. Faint, but it's a voice.
"Help... me..." I hear. Rushing over to the general area from which I heard the voice, I see Lite lying there, her skin charred as black as night.
"Where... were.... you.... Atlas?.. We.. needed-" she coughed, "...you..." And with that, I witness one of my closest friends breathing her last breathe in my arms. "Lite..."
Hopeless, I sit there, still holding Lite's breathless, charred body, and start to cry.
Atlas...
I look around.
Atlas....
Someone still alive?
ATLAS!!
I wake up with a jolt, only to find Thomas on my bedroom ceiling.
"You were talking in your sleep about burning and Lite dying so I came to wake you."
Oh thank all the gods that was only a dream.
The only thing was...
It felt real.
Too real.
