POV: Break

Oh great, just perfect!
I thought to myself as I turned around to where the growl had come from. About seven or so steps away was a massive creature, looked like a dog but had a round head attached to a large torso, the arms and legs had four sharp looking claws each, it appeared to be missing ears and any type of tail, and it was a raw fleshy colour. I wasn't to particularly comfortable with the way it was eyeing me, so I did what first came to mind and ran.
The sound of footsteps behind me told me that the creature was still following me and it seemed to keep adjusting with my speed and kept up with me.
How is this thing keeping up with me?!
I thought as I performed a small hop over a crack in the ground, and by small hop I mean a leap that took me several feet in the air. I landed and kept running.
I can jump high...good to know
I said to myself internally as I heard the thing land behind me and continue with the chase. As I kept running I was getting closer to the city with all the fancy lights.
Maybe I can lose it here
I thought as I neared the city. The place was huge so it should be easy to get it lost in the streets. As I neared the city I spotted a shorter building, it was still huge and tall like the rest but I should be able to reach it with my jumping skill...I was wrong. As I took a leap at it I made it about two thirds of the way up the wall before hitting it, and before I had time to register what had happened I noticed that I was gripping the wall. My fingers had forced their way into the cement brick of the wall and as I looked I noticed my shoes had done the same.
I looked behind me to try and see how high up I was when I saw that the thing chasing me had taken a leap at me and was halfway through the air at me. In a fret of panic I started running up the wall. My feet smashed through the cement gripping it as a foothold as I kept running. I should have been surprised by this but the initial shock that I could do these things had mostly wore off so I just decided to roll with it. I made one last leap and landed on the top. Immediately I was hit from behind and off the building before I had time to even think.
As I was falling I had adjusted my body so I would land on my feet. As I had landed I bent my legs to try and absorb the shock. The pavement cracked around me as I landed. I looked up and was greeted with the sight of many of the mind workers, each had different shapes and colours and appeared to be moving things around. I stood up a little and looked around to notice I landed right in the middle of a four way intersection.
Crap there are workers everywhere!
I thought as I slapped myself internally. This is a city so of course there are going to be people here. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a large smash come from in front of me. The creature had landed and left a visible crater in its place. All the mind workers started panicking and running around crazily. I was blocked off at every direction and if I tried to run then the creature might end up hurting someone or worse. I didn't have a choice, I had to fight it. The creature took a leap at mean and I slid under it, I stood up and elbowed it in the back forcing it to the ground and causing a crack in the pavement. Before the creature could even move I jumped back in front of it and smashed my foot against its head as hard as I could. The creature skull was completely mashed between the bottom of my boot and the pavement of the road, leaving nothing but a bloody mess. I sighed to myself as I started to relax a bit.
Well that was anticlimactic, at least it's dead now
I thought when I suddenly started to feel my body tingle. Then, out of the corners of my vision I saw black and pink tendrils latch on to the remains of that creature. I took a step back in shock as I looked down to see that the tendrils were coming from my body. I watched as the tendrils pulled the carcase of the creature towards me, it was mashed into my body and mixed into me as my body separated into multiple tendrils only to reform as my normal body again. Then suddenly I felt my arms tingle, I held them up in front of me and watched as they separated and reformed into massive razor sharp claws. I observed my new claws in wonder for a few moments before deciding that I wanted my normal hands back. Immediately the claws separated and formed back into my normal arms, clothes and all.
This could come in handy
I thought to myself as I looked around only to notice that everyone had left. Suddenly the sky darkened and all that was left were the lights coming from a building in the distance. Thinking there were people in there who could answer my questions, I started walking toward the building.

"And we're out"
Joy said as she and the others watched Riley drift into sleep and sent the memories down to long term. Today had been an ok day, Riley finished her math test and had went to hockey practice afterwards. However, the emotions were mostly excited for one reason, Riley had been invited to go to a new movie that was being shown and the emotions couldn't wait, especially Joy.
"Alright Disgust, it's your turn for dream duty tonight"
Joy said as she and the others started up the stairs for their rooms.
"Okay fine"
Disgust said in slight annoyance as she took a chair and sat at the console.
"This better be good"
She said as the screen lit up.

Wow a new chapter, finally.
And I left you with another cliffhanger. What is in the building that Break is heading to, what will Disgust see on dream duty, when will I make my coffee.
All will be answered in the next chapter (maybe).
See ya next time!
