He was drowning. Someone was holding him under water. He peered through the murky liquid. A face. He looked harder, struggled to break free. The face was clearer. Black hair. Brown eyes. Fanged grin. Himself. But it couldn't be. He was underwater. He reached back to try and punch his attacker. But as he did, the hands holding him down, the face, disappeared. His momentum carried him forward out of the water. He landed on all fours, sputtering water. He heard a whisper.

"Oh, my god."

He looked up and saw Akane. He crawled towards her, tried to call her name.

"Bweeeee!"

'No! No, no, no!' he thought. 'I can't have changed in front of her!' He stared down at his hands, now hooves. He looked back up at Akane, her eyes tearing.

"How could you do this to me? I, I mean, I trusted you! I loved you, Ryoga!" She broke down, fell to the ground.

He heard her crying. It was the worst sound he'd ever heard. He moved towards her, to go comfort her, but sat back, defeated. Then, he too began to cry. He walked back to the pool. He gazed at his reflection, watched his tears ripple the image of the small black pig. He couldn't take it anymore. He jumped in. He swirled down, darkness enveloping him. He looked back up; saw his real body floating on the water's surface. He turned back, swam away from his body. Away from his life. Away from his torment.

The darkness devoured him.




So, how'd you like it? I had this dream last night and decided to share it. Depressing, I know. Please R&R.
