Emulsion

Lily Collins as Fraye Geller!

Wait.....what?

As the sight before my eyes unfolded, I tried processing it, but I just couldn't.

Was this possible? I mean this is paradoxical.

I am going to be the beast's meal, I was right. I could feel my senses joining my numb brain in the antarctic. Fantastic.

An exquisite woman was being forced on her knees, as she was sobbing. People were running around,and a small group of people was chained right in front of that woman. I felt as if she was talking to all of them without speaking a word. Her eyes held so much pain, innocence and power.

All of it was so fast, but I could see it in slow motion.

As if the situation itself was trying to explain something, something big to me.

The woman I was trying to decipher caught my gaze.

Her small eyes slowly widened to the size of saucers, she took in a deep breath.
I was confused, was she looking at me? Just to confirm I looked behind me. I know, stupid move.

Nothing was there, so I figured the lady was looking, no staring, at me. I looked back at her, she was now crying hysterically.... I don't know why but it hurt seeing her like that.

Her saucer sized eyes widened further, I didn't know that was possible.

She screamed in the melodic language, which I surprisingly understood again as, "Run don't look back. Remember we love you Prin-" she was cut off by a slap across her face. This got me, I wanted to kill the guy who just slapped her. The blood in my veins was boiling, I growled. Why was I feeling this way?

I got the guy's attention.

I don't know why but the lady, as soon as she realized that due to her outburst I had grabbed the guy's attention, started screaming, moving her hands and legs.

She regained the man's attention, after which she was kicked very hard. That's it! 'That was the last straw pretty boy', I thought to myself and started walking towards the monster.

But I was stopped by weird noises coming my way, I involuntarily turned to their direction. I couldn't believe my eyes!

An army of people was running towards me, growling, and they were not happy at all. They each had a weapon, now I was more confused and scared than ever. I turned to face the lady again but, she was.....gone!

To top it all, what I saw next was beyond belief. It was.....Earth? A beautiful sphere  with a mix of green, blue, and white, I was seeing my home from the outside space. My heat stopped beating.

My vision blurred as I saw black dots appearing. I was going to die...

Just before sinking into the darkness I found myself being wrapped in lustrous and graceful.....wings???

I blinked, and was welcomed by the sight of the familiar white ceiling of the bedroom. My blood buzzed with energy, filling me up with warmth and curiosity.

What was that? What had I just witnessed?

I couldn't quite place my finger on it, like I knew it but didn't remember it. I felt alive, for I had not experienced that kind of rush and emotions in a long time.
