"Dreams"
It was total dArknESs.
Her voice floated to him through the forest, and he followed it.
He struggled up a low hill, through some brambles and low branches. The darkness inside the woods was nearly complete. As he moved toward her voice, he kept his hands out in front of him, swatting at branches as he stumbled along.
"Sonja," he cried plaintively, as he entered a small clearing. "Where are you?" He suddenly tripped over a thick root and nose-dived into the hard ground.
He stayed down for a moment, gasping for breath. Slowly, shakily, he got to his knees.
A few inches away he saw a swarm of fireflies. He blinked his eyes and refocused. No, they weren't inches away-they were all the was across the clearing.
And they weren't fireflies.
They were balls of bouncing light. Dozens of them.
Coming his way.
He rose unsteadily to his feet. He didn't know what they were, and didn't want to know. He didn't know where Sonja was, either, and at this point he didn't care. All he wanted to do was to get out of these woods.
He turned as he heard a rustling behind him.
"Sonja? Sonja, is that you?"
Suddenly the branches parted, and an enormous face stared back at him, inches from his own.
But it wasn't a human face-it was some sort of grotesque mask. The head was surrounded by a blur of fiery red. Angry streaks of yellow were splayed across its cheeks. The hideous thing's eyes and mouth were outlined in a white so bright, they shone even in the dark.
He was too frightened to make a sound, and took an involuntary step back.
Then he saw the ax.
The monster lifted the weapon high over his head, and he finally managed to let out a scream. Then they were both screaming as the creature plunged the ax down towards Arcturus's throat.
Only Arcuturus's scream stopped when the ax drove home, as all light went out and his world was plunged into yet another kind of dArknESs.
Sonja woke up suddenly, sweating in terror. She looked around and saw only metal bars and walls. Then she remembered where she was.
"It was only a dream?"
She soon fell back to sleep. Little did she know how real her dream was.
