Melany had been tossing and turning all night. It was now in the pre-dawn hours of the morning, with Melany not even having slept a wink. There was too much on her mind...Far too much.

At this point she'd decided to go for a walk in the forest, hoping to calm her nerves.

Oh, how wrong was she, when the cold, dead hands of Eternity awaited her...

She felt it grip her, quite tightly. It hurt...

"G-Gah!" She yelped. "L-Let me go!"

"Surrender your heart to the eternity!" A voice yelled.

"NEVER!" Melany screamed, thrashing about as the invisible hand tightened. "Urgh...No!"

Eternity was now swirling around her at a dizzying rate, so fast she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. There was the sensation of falling...

Falling...

"AAAH!" She woke up with a jolt, her heart pounding. Sora woke up next to her.

"Are you alright, Mel? What happened?!"

"J-Just...Just a bad dream..."

That's all that was, right?

He put his arms around her. "I won't let anything hurt you."

"I'm not helpless, Sora..." Melany protested, yawning. "I can defend myself quite well, actually. I picked up on a few things while you were asleep for that year."

Should I tell him? About eternity?

She pressed closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I missed you so much..."

No...Not yet. When the time's right...Then I'll tell him.

"I'm back now. And that'll never happen again, I promise."

A/N: Let me explain this. I had written this over on another site-Quotev-and posted it. Nothing to serious is going on here, just something my crazy mind came up with at three in the morning. Enjoy.
