Strong (Johanna Mason Fanfic)

Exam Day

        I am in a forest. It is night and pretty chilly. I am walking through my little paradise. I guess I'm looking for Ramsey, but he is nowhere to be found. Panic begins to set in. Why isn't he here? He knows at what time we meet up! Did something happen to him? I hope not... And that is when I hear and see the pack of wolves rip through the bushes. Instinctively, I begin to run. I run in front of me, not looking exactly where I am going. I attempt to climb a tree but it is futile, the tree is frozen and slip off and crash to the floor. 

        The wolves are getting close and one of them bits my arm. I wince but get back up and run as fast as my frame lets me. The wolves are on my heels and I know what awaits me: an agonizing death. I am getting out of breath but I continue. I look back and that was a huge mistake. I feel my body hit the electrocuted fence and send shocks through my body. I feel the wolves surrounding me and starting to sniff me and try to bite my limbs off. I try to scream but nothing happens. That is when I see Ramsey, standing at the other side of the fence, a smirk on his face, pointing at the pack of wolves, leading them to tear me apart.

        I scream and shoot up from my bed. I am once again covered in sweat and I feel Lance jolt up as well.

        "Johanna, I am so sorry." he says in his raspy morning voice.

        "You have nothing to be sorry about!" I cry.

        "Come here..." he says as he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me back into the bed. We are now facing each other.

        "They won't stop. They won't." I feel myself cry a little.

        He hugs me tight and looks me straight in the eyes. I closed my eyes by now and I felt him lean in. He brushes his lips against mine, ever so lightly. I feel myself smile a little. I open my eyes a little and he is still looking at me. I then lock my lips into his and kiss him. He kisses me back. 

        "You know, if this would just last forever, then I would have nothing against it." he smiles.

        "Wow.... You still have Perri though. I feel bad because I kind of am betraying Ramsey, but not really, and you, well...." I say seriously.

        "Says the one. True, we both have someone but we only have each other here... and this may be the last time we actually love somebody." he smiles shyly.

        I find sleep and then am woken up an hour later by a banging at the door.

        "Johanna!!! Better get up! Today is your individual assessment day!" cheers Livia. 

        I lazily get out of bed and look back. Lance, per usual, is sprawled out on the bed snoring. I dismiss him and take a quick shower. I experiment with the scented gels and make myself smell like ripe peaches. I put on my training outfit, since we still have practice in the morning... I look at my fellow partner and get an idea while he sleeps as soundly as you possibly can.

        "FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream.

        He instantly jumps out of the bed, knocking his head on the bed post and then falling to the ground as he trips on an empty bottle. Has he ever slept in his own room? By now, I am laughing my ass off, grabbing myself by my stomach, and basically not able to stop. Through my tears of laughter, I see Lance giving me a deadly glare, standing on the other side of the bed, his hair so messed up that you can't help that grin on your face, his cheek has a bed sheet imprint in it, and to top it all off, he is shirtless, in his shorts, flexing.

        "Johanna Mason, you shall pay. I am now plotting revenge. Watch your back sweetheart." he gives me a mischievous smirk as he walks towards me and brushes his lips against mine, sending shivers down my spine.
