Mark's POV

I run from the beast, it's hot breath on my heels as I try not to get caught. As I turn a dreary looking corner, I begin to think to myself, why now of all times?

Sorry, I guess I should explain myself, huh? I had opened my eyes, believing myself to have been in the real world. This, however, was not the case. As my eyes opened fully, I was able to visualize the same dark, dreary room as I was used to.

I looked to my right, seeing the same large cage as usual. However, as I looked, I was able to finally make out what it was behind the bars.

I could see that it looked almost the same as me, however, there were quite a few differences. For one, it's eyes were blood red. Then there was the fact that it was 5 times my size and height. And finally, to top it off, it looked sort of like a chimpanzee, but with no fur on it's body.

As I look towards it, the beast grins devilishly, almost as if enjoyed that I was finally here in my dreams. As the memories are about to begin returning to me, I turn, as if guided by some otherworldly force, and begin running in the opposite direction.

As I begin entering a completely new area, I hear a demonic scream, followed by the sound of iron bars smashing into the ground. Without looking back, I break into a full sprint, but in this dream, I was only as fast as I had been in the real world.

Slowly, I began to feel the beasts footsteps slamming the ground behind me. I look behind myself, seeing the beast gaining on me fast. As I turn a corner, my foot catches on a clump of dirt, causing me to fall to the ground and slide a few feet.

As I stand, I see the beast turn the corner, and give chase with more speed. And now, here I am.

I continue to run, feeling the beast somehow continue to gain ground on me.

'I need to get away from this guy somehow, and fast.' I think to myself, before I see a knocked over cart with some crates in it.

I begin running faster somehow, changing course and running straight for the cart. Seeing my change in direction, the beast growls, before letting out a shriek and running at full speed.

As the beast reaches me, it swipes it's claws as I jump onto the cart and use my momentum to jump again and land on the roof ahead of me. As I land on my feet, my knees buckle and I fall to the ground, rolling forward on the roof.

I stand up and look over the side of the roof, seeing the beast looking at me angrily. As I go to smirk, I fall down as my right leg begins to throb. Looking at it, I notice that there is a claw mark along the whole lower part of my leg. I think it was the Humurus or something. I can't remember.

Suddenly, my name begins echoing off of the walls of the whole dream world. I grab my head, trying to get the voices to leave me alone.

I begin to punch the ground in frustration as the voices remain in my head, not seeming to want to leave me alone. My body begins to shake, before I wake up.

I grab a kunai, and quickly place it up to the neck of the person shaking me.

"M-Mark?! What are you doing?!" Sakura screams, falling back to the ground.

My eyes widen, seeing that I had almost killed Sakura, before I return my kunai to it's pouch. As I begin to calm down, I notice just how bad of shape I'm in. I'm panting heavily, not to mention covered in sweat, and to top it all off, my leg is still in pain. I look down at it, noticing that the claw mark is still there.

"What's going on!?" Naruto demands as he bursts into the room. Sasuke quickly follows behind, kunai at the ready.

"N-n-nothing happened." Sakura stammers, standing slowly as she calms herself down.
