Captains Flashback

She was on the top landing. Fire was all around her. She couldn't see where she was going. The smoke was like fog and cut off her breathing.

"Flower! Cyrus!" She screamed as loud as she could.

Her lungs burned and her eyes stinged. She stumbled down the endless hallway. She knew where they were. She knew she could reach them. She knew she could save them.

"Flower! Cyrus!" She screamed again.

The door was in reach. Over the roar of the flames she could hear the sound of muffled banging and shouting. They were OK. She reached for the handle but something....someone was stopping her. Pulling her away...

"Flower! Cyrus!" She cried again before her world went black.

                                                                                               *****

Captain was sat by the road side. She was either throwing and catching a ball or fiddling with the fluff on her boots. She had been sat there for half an hour already just to make sure she didn't miss him. they needed to pay for what they did. And she was going to make sure that they did.

That's when they came past... She recognized the car. She'd seen it too many times and had already memorized the number plate. She checked the plate and smiled when it was the one she was looking for.  At the right moment she jumped out in front. The car swerved and fell off the road side and burst into flames... She started laughing....laughing and crying....But not the happy kind of tears....

                                                                                            *****

Captain woke up to someone shaking her. Katie was kneeling over her, a worried look streaked her face. Captain sat up wondering what was going on. Around her the rest of the girls were either sat in bed or standing next to her all with worried looks.

"Whats up?" Captain asked.

"C...What's wrong? You were screaming in your sleep and laughing... What's wrong?" Glinda pleaded.

Captain went silent. They waited for her to say something.

"Nothing...It was just a nightmare...Go back to sleep I'm fine!" Captain snapped.

Eventually the others went back to sleep. One by one. However Captain stayed awake through the night and didn't sleep another wink.
