Her dream felt cold. The snowy littered landscape an all too familiar backdrop from memories long since past, save for the towering palms speckled across the skyline. This was something, that once she realized where she was, was far more out of place then usual.

Mount Kilimanjaro...But that must mean-

She groaned slightly and gripped her head, feeling a great knot forming on the side. She must have fallen on a snowy bank from the mountainside. She knew however she wasn't alone, if only for a muddleing of sounds barely audible in the distance.

"Shit Rei, where did she go" From her foggy state she heard what she thought sounded like a man being shoved

"I DON'T know Alex! I'm just as worried about your sister as you are."
 And there was silence again. Sweet silence. Coupled with the fact that she could barely move, she found this all comforting.

This is just dream. I'm dreaming of my climbing accident on Kilimanjaro. Alex will find me soon, and I'll be on a chopper with Rei back to somewhere civilized.

But she began to feel weightless. Cold. Wet.

They were speaking again, although this time their voices sounded fainter and almost foreign unlike before. Garbled, as if they were speaking underwater.

"I've found her! She's over here!... Shit, the bitches turning blue."

"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID HERMANO?! DO FUCKING CPR." The voice moved a bit farther away. "Honestly, fucking people these days. All just a bunch of pricks... Pricks everywhere. The plan was very simple. We see a ship." the man whistled. "Get into formation and snag everyone on board as hostages. And this piece of shit pulls out someone we can still use, and JUST TELLS ME IT ISN'T BREATHING." He laughed then in a manner that sounded less than comical. "Do you honestly think we can make a profit off of a waterlogged dead girl hermano? Now get this shit taken care of PROPERLY and carry them back to camp. AM I CLEAR!?"

She felt two hands on her chest pushing in rythm, and as water began to escape from her lungs it became wasn't dreaming anymore.

Sorry for the delay and it being another short chapter. I've been balancing a lot with my artwork, and I'm overall pretty rusty when it comes to writing, but none the less I'm hoping to post a couple this week that will really lead into the story line further. Thanks so much for reading! Any questions or comments will be greatly apprectiated. :D
