Connie was having such a wonderful dream, the best actually. She had found her parents and they were all having a wonderful dinner together. Laughing and happiness was all that could be heard throughout the dining room, it was pure bliss, and Connie was so happy and content. However, as happy as she was before, it was soon lost, as the dream slowly started fading away. There was no longer laughing but screaming; her parents smiles no longer present but instead mouths open in shock. Their faces stared to distort then and it was almost like they were melting, the dream was filled with her screams then, as the puddles of their flesh on the floor grew larger. Any happiness she once had was gone when her dream completely vanished.
She quickly woke up however, her necklace burning intensely. As her mind slowly started drifting into awareness once again, she could feel her side against something hard and dry, like she was sleeping on the floor instead of her bed...wait a minute.
She quickly shot up, hazel eyes wide. Where the hell was she! She looked around, she was definitely not in her bed anymore, it looked like she was in an alley, and the air and floor were so hot. How had she gotten here?
She began to panic more and more, she wasn't prepared for this, she needs to be prepared, always needs to be prepared! What the heck am I going to do! She thought hysterically, she was having one of the best dreams and then it turned into this. I want to wake up NOW! She thought in a crazy voice, she then slapped herself hard across the face, eyes shutting from the pain.
She didn't want to open her eyes; maybe she could pretend she wasn't in this situation. She could still feel the heat however, and she reluctantly opened her eyes again. Hopefully this is just a very real dream and I'll wake up in the morning laughing with Altair. Like that will happen. Thought Connie letting out a small chuckle, trying to calm her. She knew Altair wasn't anywhere near her though, and it scared her more, as she had no one with her anymore, and her loneliness was once again evident.
Slowly sitting up and getting off the ground, she looked up at the sky holding her hot necklace from her skin. There wasn't a cloud up there, and the only thing that was present in the sky was the sun, which was very hot with its rays. Where the hell was she? She headed to the end of the alleyway with her socked feet, where she could hear people, and the sun was shining. Reaching the end, she grabbed the corner of the building and stuck her head around, looking at her surroundings.
She was definitely not in Canada, that was for sure. Everything was dry, there was hardly any grass anywhere, and all she could see was stone and dirt. Defiantly not Canada.
She looked at the people then wondering the streets. There clothing, it was so... different, or maybe she was the different one. She looked down at her clothes, she was still wearing her black hoodie and black pants. Crap this isn't good, my clothing will stand out AND it's black AND I'll die in this heat! She thought frustrated, stepping back into the shadow of the alley building. How the heck had she gotten here, wherever here was?
Altair woke with a start, his surroundings weren't the same. He quickly looked around and he realized he was in the... Assassin's bureau?
Quickly getting up, he realized he was in his robes again with his weapons and everything. It was almost as if he was dreaming those five days... But he could have sworn they were real. But it seemed he was back where he last remembered; before he woke up in the future... he was to assassinate Talal now.
He knew he was in Jerusalem, it had been his last memory before he... dreamed.
Heading to the wall to climb out, he quickly tried to vanish any thoughts he had of Connie, but he found himself almost wishing it hadn't been a dream. Even though it was hard to admit, he... Missed her. It wasn't real however, and he knew he wouldn't ever see her again, and even though he had only dreamed about him being with her for 5 days, it felt longer, and he really did find himself missing her.
