It was hot. Way too hot. I opened my eyes and gasped. Everything was on fire and I saw buildings crumbling. I spun around and looked everywhere but I didn't recognize this place.
"Ridge!" I spun around and I watched myself run across some of the debris. I quickly followed me and I watched as I was looking around panickedly.
"Ridge where are you!?" I screamed.
"Lalna!" I turned and I saw Skyla running towards me.
"Lalna we need to go," She said urgently.
"No, we need to find Ridge. He's still out here somewhere," I cried.
"Lalna we can't stay here. We need to go."
"No! Not without Ridge!" I tried to run but Skyla grabbed my wrist.
"Lalna please, don't make me lose you too," Skyla said with tears in her eyes.
"Please let go! Ridge!"
"Lalna come on." Skyla dragged me away and I stood still. What was going on? I heard some of the rubble shift and I quickly turned towards it as a chunk of it fell over. I froze as I watched Ridge slowly try and pull himself out from the rubble. He looked all beat up and he had a cut on his forehead. He was wheezing and after he halfway pulled himself out he fell to the ground and just laid there panting. I ran over to him and went to help him but as soon as I went to touch him my hands just phased through him. I couldn't do anything. Ridge started coughing and I about screamed as blood dripped out of his mouth. He looked up at the sky and I saw him mouth something before he closed his eyes. I screamed then everything went dark.
"Lalna!" I bolted up and I felt arms around me. I quickly looked around. I was in my room.
"Lalna?" I looked up and I saw Ridge looking at me concerned. I felt a rush of relief and I quickly hugged him tightly.
"Whoa, Lalna are you ok? What happened?" He asked worried.
"I-I don't even know," I said as my vision got cloudy with tears. "It was horrible, everything was on fire a-and-" I couldn't finish. I didn't even want to think about it.
"Hey it's ok," He said softly. "It was just a dream anyways." I sniffled and nodded.
"Y-Yeah, I guess." We sat there for a little bit before Ridge spoke again.
"How about we get some food? You can talk about your dream later if you want to but it's around dinner time and I'm kinda hungry." I smiled nodded.
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"Ok, so wha-" There was a knock at the front door and Ridge sighed. "I'll get it." I let go of him as he got up and I followed him to the front door. Ridge opened it and it was Ryan.
"Have you seen Skyla?"
"No, why?" Ridge asked slightly concerned.
"Well I got back from Astrid's and she was gone and I can't find her."
"Where would she have gone?" I asked curiously. "I don't even know this place well enough to know where stuff is."
"I don't either."
"Do you want us to help you find her?" Ridge asked.
"Can you just keep an eye out for her? Michael said that Castiel could track her down so I'm going to talk to him first." He nodded.
"Ok, we will."
"Thank you."
"No problem." Ryan left and Ridge shut the door.
