Melissa:
I felt my legs burn from running. I remember the burning, especially on the inside of my right front leg, near my elbow. The brand freshly bleeding and oozing down my leg along with sweat as I ran. The Fall rain made the ground muddy and difficult to really dig in and go fast, and they were gaining on me. I galloped down a slope and jumped in to the shallow river and jumped up on the other side and launched myself up the steeper slope with as much strength as my back legs could muster. I climbed up to the top and launched myself over to land on what felt like glass. My front hooves slipped out from under me to see I was on the wet road. I heard a familiar voice scream out in horror, "Petrichora!!" and before I could register what my mistake was, two bright lights flashed to my right.
Glass shattering, bones breaking, metal crunching, squeals of pain and screams of horror followed me when I woke with a small jolt to be facing the fire and a small body I guessed to be a rabbit. I blinked a couple times to rid the sleepiness from my eyes and slowly sat up, a little dazed from the dream and that the fact that the dream was actually part of my memories. I looked over to Niq and saw he is cooking the rabbit, and saw three more rabbits nearby that were also dead. I looked back to him, "How long was I out?" I asked, squinting my eyes a little from sleeping so hard. I felt a small stinging on the back of my neck and felt at it while Niq was talking. I could feel a small scratch near my hairline. I flinched when a twig snapped up in the trees and looked in that general direction, I pulled the blanket around me a little tighter, and shyly looked back at Niq, a little embarrassed.
