Duke's POV
She haunts my dreams. Thats never changed. Ever since her death, I have relived it every night. I miss her so much. Even though we have hope that she is coming back, I have a problem believing that someone could come back to life.
Nosedive says he has been having strange dreams as of late. He dreamt of a place that couldn't be real. He said that the place glowed. A garden full of life. Dive swears that Mallory is there, but he couldn't be sure. The woman had very long red hair that went down to the middle of her back. Her eyes a dark emerald. She always wore white, he said. The others brushed it off as nothing but the toccos he always had. I try to beileve the dreams but it was hard.
Until I had one of my own.
The soft sound of water came to me. I opened my eye and had to close it due to the bright light. When I finally focussed, I took a good look around. A beautiful garden with a calm waterfall off to the side. But something caught my eye. A woman stood a few feet away from me, looking at me. I stood up, nearly loosing my balance. It was Mallory.
"Duke.", she said softly, her voice seemed to echo. She moved towards me, but I was frozen. She laid her hand on my face, then kissed my cheek softly.
"It wasn't your fault.", she whispered, backing away from me. I went to reach for her, but was interupted by a loud crash of thunder. Almost the sound of gun fire. She turned to me, her emerald eyes showing her fear. "Go!", she urged. She vanished into thin air, leaving me all alone.
I sat up in bed, looking around urgently. She was gone. It was just a dream. But it seemed so real. What she said made so much sense. I can't shake the feeling that something was after her. She was coming back, but at what cost?
Normal POV
Nosedive stared down the barrel of a blaster. The Hunter Drones had been too great in number this time. He squeezed his eyes closed, waiting for the blow, but it never came. He opened his eyes to see the drone fall to the ground, an arrow sticking out of its chest. He jumped up and took a look around. Most of the drones were down, only a handle full left. Only the arrows kept coming, leveling the remaining drones.
"What did that?", Tanya asked Wing, while looking around. Wing shrugged in response.
Another arrow came out of the shadows, making them all jump. Now knowing where the arrow came from, Wing looked to the shadows.
"Show yourself!", He yelled. A figure stepped into the light. It was wearing a long black cape, and a hood covering it's face.
"Who are you?!", Wing yelled at the figure. The figure only bowed to him. Then it began to remove its cloak. Slowly at small figure was visable, a bow and container of arrows straped to her back. Yes, it was a Her. She removed her hood, letting her long red hair flow down her curves. Her emerald eyes starring straight through them. Duke steped forward, unable to breathe.
"Mallory!", he gasped, running to her. She smiled slightly, embracing him. He held her tightly, making sure that she was real.
"I'm really here, Duke, I've come home.......for now.", she whispered softly. He didn't hear the last part, so he didn't ask. Before any of the other ducks could embrace Mallory, a loud crash of thunder sounded. Mallory pushed Duke away from her. She pulled out her bow and an arrow.
"Get out of here now!!!!", she screamed at them. They never moved.
"What is after you Mallory?", Duke asked.
"Lets just say I have a little score to settle with Death."
