As I yawned, my jaw cracked, making me flinch. "Ouch," I said, rubbing my jaw. At my side trotted Achoo, panting and looking around, happy to be outside after that darned storm we had a few days ago. Curse rain. As I walked along, I stretched, making my bones pop and settle into place. I smiled, it had been a good watch, no bar fights, or wife-beatin'. I was sore tired though and I was ready for my bed. I also wanted to see Pounce, after he had left me I always like to see him on a regular basis just to now he's still with me. Pounce had decided to stay home for tonight's watch, because of the mud. I don't like when he stays home, watch can be boring and I like having him there with me an' Achoo. Keeping an eye on the people around me, I pulled my baton out and began swinging it around my wrist, a habit I've just recently formed. Deciding to take a shortcut through an alley, I slipped between two buildings into dark shadows which seemed to reach out for me. Thankfully, there was no one in there. Fighting in an alley like this is like fighting with your arms tied to your sides.
A few minutes and several more jaw cracking yawns later, I came to our doorsteps. Groaning, I inserted the key, letting myself in, keeping quiet in an effort not to wake anybody up who might be sleeping. Achoo raced up the stairs, with me dragging myself up after her. Halfway down the hall, a slight creaking noise alerted me that someone was up and moving about. I froze for a second before continuing towards my rooms.
"Beka? Is that you?"
Of course, it would be Rosto, the only one besides me you will see up this late. Cringing lightly, I slowly turned only a few feet from my doorway. Achoo, already at the door, turned back and headed towards me, whining slightly, eager to be home.
"Rosto," I replied with another huge yawn.
When I opened my eyes again, he was smiling hugely at me. "
What?"
"Nothing, you just look ... sleepy."
I didn't think it was possible, but his smile stretched even wider as he spoke. Sighing, I didn't bother with a reply, and turned around. Trudging back to my room, I coughed. Sucking in a quick breath, I coughed a few more times, doubling over, trying to curl in on myself. Dropping to my knees, I wheezed a few times, bracing myself by putting my palms flat on the floor. Another cough squeezed itself out from my abnormally tight throat.
"Beka!" I heard, as if from far away, and hands were placed on my shoulders. "Beka! Are you alright? BEKA! BEKA!!"
I tried sucking in another breath, but it felt as if my lungs were gone. Nothing could come into my body. My eyes swam, and dark shadows crossed in front of my field of vision. I could hear sobs coming from somewhere around me but didn't care enough to figure out where. My arms gave out, and I slumped to the floor. I gasped for breath as the shadows skimmed around. My eyes closed.
