Ok, hectic dream this one...Haven't had on like this in a while. I scare myself when I dream like this...
I'm at a shopping mall, Centurion center, With two people who I don't know but who are apparently my friends. The one is a girl around my shoulder height, shoulder-lenght brown hair and a teardrop face, she's wearing a short black skirt under which are black leggings. She's also wearing black boots and a navy-blue holter top. Her name is Amy. The other girl, Candice, is also around the same height, blond hair cropped to a bob which frames her round face. She's wearing blue jeans, white platform sneakers and a pink-yellow tie-dye sleeveless top.
The setting is as such:
We're walking out of the mall around 7 the evening - it's dusk, the sky is turning an off blue but it's still light whough to see very clearly. Still, the street lamps in the parking lot are on. the parking lot is a lot more shaded than it should be - there is parking construction for a double level parking expansion at the other end of the lot, and it creates this sort of secluded feeling. I can still smell the wet dust and cement from the day's work. The air is chilly, though not too cold considering I'm wearing a v-neck T-shirt and jeans and still feel quite comfortable. Candice says goodbye as we exit the mall and walks off to the right where her car is parked rather close. Amy and I walk on across the road toward the island in the middle of the lot on the way to our cars. I drop my keys while taking them out of my bag. I bend down to pick them up. On rising again though, I see there are some shadey guys coming towards Amy and I from either side... One grabs me from behind. "AMY!!!" I yell, she turns to face me, and I feel the panic rise in her. "Run!" I shout to her, she doesn't hesitate.
She takes off towards a tunnel leading towards the lake that's on the other side of the buildings. I lean back and throw myself forward to force my attacker on the ground in front of me. Another runs at me and I punch him in his chest, he stumbles back so I take the chance to run after Amy. They follow. We go through the tunnel, on the other side is a balcony. The balcony looks down over the lake and a terrace beside it. Here the light is golden as it reflects off the water. We run to the left towards a library at the end of the corridor. Gun Shots come from below. Several by-standers fall down and people scatter. I see at lease 4 people that fall in on the balcony, Amy being one.
"NO!" I run to try help her and get shot in the leg. I try looking over the edge of the balcony and see a bunch of the same guys on what's like a cross between a 4X4 and one of those phone line repair trucks. Some of them climb into the platform that can be raised. I hear the laughter and jeering between them and crawl to Amy's side. She's got a wound in the chest and her blood's on the floor, next to her lies another woman, also dead, crumpled against the wall.
I hear the platform begin to raise and try to just lie there, hoping they'll go away thinking I'm dead. I half open an eye towards the platform, they must've seen me - They opened fire with some or other automatic weapon and I felt as the bullets hit me - my legs, my cest, my head. I know I felt at least one pierce my heart and felt as my skull buckled under 2 others. Everything went black...
'Oh no you don't...' That voice, I haven't heard it in months. Yoruichi-sama. I feel a warmth on my forehead and open my eyes to see I'm in the entrance of the Library, Yourichi above me, her hand on my head. 'Since when do you let a dream get the better of you? And Stalkers nonetheless!' (Queue Lucidity) I feel a rage well inside my chest and she smiles. While I might have control right now there is one thing on my mind - revenge. I stand up and feel my leg pull where the bullet still appears to be lodged, but it now seems distant. I have a splitting headache and my chest aches but nothing right now will quench it except death. I stand and one of my 'killers' walks through the door holding some sort of grenade. Yoruichi stands back, "After you..." I hold my hand out and make as if to strangle him. I do, even though my hand is far from his neck. He drops, as does the grenade. I feel the extreme heat blast my skin as I throw a shield around myself. I walk through the fire, Yoruichi still by my side. Two more guys come running down the corridors, Yoruichi puts her hand out to stop one, I stop the the other, both about 5 m's away. I take control of both of them a lift them in the air, I throw them towards the lake intending them to hit the sharp railings between the terrace and the water. The hit their mark and more come running. I close my eyes and take a breath, I call the fire too me and in a visible wave of distorted energy and flame I send a shockwave of energy out, just short of dissolving any other remaining enemies (There were around 5, two more on the balcony and 3 downstairs). I stand, thrilled, elated at the swirling of ebergy and flame and fury, and pain. Then I collapse. I fall, I collide with the floor and awake to my pillow.
