Okay, I lied. My computer is being gay again. It won't let me log into my Deviant account or anything. Looks like the only fix to this problem is to get a new one. And my mom said something about working that out for my birthday, which is in November...yeah, I need it like NOW!! I'm writing this from the computer at the library. I heart the library
Btw, anyone else besides me notice how OOC these characters are?
...yeah, well...here you go.

"Frida! Frida, wake up!" She heard a distant voice say. She thrashed around, tears streaming down her face and sweating. She felt hands on her and she struggled to pry them off.
"Frida!" The voice was closer now. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't. She soon heard other voices along with the first one.
"What's wrong?"
"Is she okay?"
"What happened?"
"Frida, honey, it was only a dream! Wake up, Kitten!" Another pair of hands join the first pair in trying to hold her still, other these hands were harder and colder. Like bone. As soon as she was able to, her eyes shot open and she stopped thrashing as she saw Manny and Django on either side of her, holding her down, and Deigo and Sergio watching anxiously from their bunks, all their eyes wide and filled with panic. Tears continued to roll down her cheeks, her breathing fast and heavy. She relaxed a bit and reached up to wipe away her tears.
She looked up at them. "Sorry."
"Sorry nothing." Django said, sitting down next to her. "What's wrong?"
She put her hand to her forehead, wiping the sweat away. "It's nothing, just another bad dre-" She froze as she thought about what she was saying. She looked up at Django with wide eye and saw her own shock mirrored in his face. "Oh God..." she breathed.
"What? What is it?" Manny asked, also sitting next to her. She glanced up at him once and was relieved when she felt no desire to bite him. But the feeling that she was going to was still there. Overwhelmed with joy and relief that he was okay, she lunged at him and threw her arms around him. She instantly pulled away when he moaned in pain. Then she saw the burns and gashes on his sides. She gasped and slapped her hand over her mouth, knowing perfectly well where they came from. Tears came to her eyes again. He saw her reaction and made to cover his sides.
"Don't worry about it." He asssured her. "It's nothing."
"You're lying."
Django took Frida's face in his hands and made her look at him. "Frida, exactly what happened in your dream?"
She looked at her lap. "You don't want to know."
"Trust me, I do." He said.
"No, trust me." She said in a firmer tone. "You really don't want to know." She tilted her head slightly, allowing her bangs to fall over her eyes in a certain way that shielded them from Manny's view. She then motioned to him with them.
"I already told him." Django said, and Manny knew that he was talking about him.
"I know you did, you son of a bitch. I saw that in my vision." she growled. "After I told plain and simple not to!"
"Did you have another vision about biting me?" Manny asked quietly.
Without looking at him, Frida nodded slowly. "But something else happened, too."
"What was it?" Django asked.
She was about to say something but then shook her head. "Forget it. It's not that important." 'At least not to you', she thought.
As if reading her mind, Django said, "You just don't want to tell us."
"Don't even start with me, Django. I don't want to talk about it." Her sudden sharp tone startled everyone, including herself. "I think I need to clear my head." She gracefully slipped around them and out the door.
"Is it just me, or is her hair getting longer?" Diego asked.
...
Within moments, she found herself sitting at the edge of the lake. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something about this place always made her feel better. She didn't even think about the fact that it was the same setting as in her dream.
She thought about her vision and what it could possibly mean. Cat State dreams were actually physic visions, so what happened in them were either true, or going to happen. Let's see... she and Manny by the lake, she bit him, he said he loved her-
Oh my God, he said he loved her! In a vision, she saw him tell her he loved her!
And then he kissed her!
"Frida?"
Frida recognized the voice immediately. Without looking at the source of the voice, she said, "Hi, Manny."
Manny sat down next to her and she looked at him. His eyes were filled with concern and something else that she didn't recognize. "Are you okay?" He asked.
She huffed. "I'm fine, the question is are you okay?" She looked down at his sides and cringed with hatred towards herself, knowing the she was the one who had inflicted those nasty cuts and burns.
"Yeah, it's nothing." He assured her. "So, you know, Django...told me about your visions."
Frida jumped up and backed away, eyes wide with fear. This is exactly what happened in her vision! Her actions took Manny by surprise. He also jumped up and reached out towards her. "Frida, whats-?"
"No!" She smacked his hand away and turned her back to him. "This was my vision! The one last night, this is it!" She pressed her hands over her mouth and sqeezed her eyes shut.
Manny's eyes widened and he took a step backwards. "What...exactly happened in your-?"
"I bit you, you idiot!" She interrupted. "I bit you and then laughed as you bleed to death!" She opened her eyes, a thought coming to her. She bit him and she knew he was dying.
But he hadn't died.
At least, not that she saw. As she turned back around to look at him, he panicked and then relaxed when he saw her eyes were not yet changed.
"But you didn't die."
Manny wasn't entirely what he should do or think. Based on earlier experiences, he knew that the Cat State was as unpredictable as a rainstorm in the Sahara Desert, and based on what Django had told him, Frida's dreams always meant something when they involved the Cat State. So...what was going to happen now?
"Sooo...what do you think will happen?" he asked.
"I wish I knew!" She said, frustrated. "But just to be on the safe side, I think you should get away from me."
"Frida-"
"No!" She turned to face the lake and sat down again, pulling her knees up to her body. The bright moon gleamed down on her, giving her an angelic-like glow. Manny saw that Diego had been right. Her hair was definately longer than it had been. Knowing she was right and that he should get away from her for his own safety, he ignored his better judgement and once again sat down next to her.
Refusing to look at him, she said, "Are you deaf? Or do you just not get how dangerous I am to you?"
"Frida." he said it more firmly this time. But she still wouldn't look at him. The emotions she was suddenly sensing from him made her panic.
"What?" she said quietly.
"Look at me."
She shut her eyes and buried her face in her arms, which were wrapped tightly around her knees. "No."
She was suddenly on her back, hands pinned above her head. She felt him on top of her, but she still refused to open her eyes. "Dammit, Frida! I said look at me!"
It was now making her angry that he was yelling at her and telling her what to do, no less. Her anger showed on her face, but she kept her eyes closed tightly. "Who the hell do you think your talking to?!"
"Frida," his voice was calmer now. "Why won't you look at me?"
Her expression softened a bit. "because...in my vision-"
"I don't care about some damn vision! There's something I really want you to know, but I can't tell you unless you look at me!"

I choose to stop here simply because I can't think of what else to put and because I haven't uploaded in forever due to computer complications.
