Part 2

[He looked around and couldn't believe it. For as far as the eye could see there was green grass. It seemed as if it was a field, dotted with huge green trees of the oak, maple, birch and walnut variety. He was free, free to run around with the wind in his hair and he never had to be afraid again]

...birds...

[Birds chirped in the trees, squirrels chased each other in mad circles and rabbits loped out in the open. It seemed perfect, a paradise. Slowly though, a person came into view]

...who are you...

["Who are you?" he asked softly. Gentle eyes and a welcoming smile beckoned to him.

"I am your salvation," the figure said softly, voice like the wind rustled leaves]

...what...

["I don't understand..." he whispered softly, trying to get closer, but the figure eluded him.

"You will... you will..." the figure promise. A blow shook him and the vision was gone]

"Get up ya lazy arse!" said a harsh male voice. Trowa kept his eyes closed tightly, trying to hold on to the dream image. A blow to his stomach popped his eyes right open.

"Move! Or you don't get to eat," the man said and left him. Trowa sighed deeply and got up, pulling on an oversized olive green tunic and brown trousers. He slipped his feet into tattered leather shoes and got up, joining the breakfast line.
