Sad V is sad. She should really focus more on being worried.

It was a few days before anything happened in the way of the plan. Though Molly stopped by once in a while, she seemed to stat with Oliver most often-always hanging onto him. Victoria was doing the same, in a way, with Carter. She knew he would be safe, but in the very back of her mind-she wondered if maybe, he wouldn't. She couldn't think that way, she knew it-so she busied herself. She did little things, like the shopping or extra work, to keep her mind off her bad thoughts.
And it worked...for a bit. It worked until the day Molly and Oliver came, and she knew it was time-Carter was leaving to assist with the plan. She held onto him tight as they walked to the car, holding his hand on the drive to D-10.
Now came the hard part.
Once they got to District 10, they restrained and cuffed both Oliver and Carter. Molly gave each a kiss on the forehead, and begged them to be safe.
"I love you both so much, please be careful," Victoria said softly, giving each a tight hug before they lead them to the MNU guards, who took them away.
Heart sinking, she had to look away, turning instead to Molly.
"Why don't you stay at my place for now? Probably would be easier..." she said softly, walking away with her sister and lowering her voice. "Less chance of Tiana finding out as well...I highly doubt she'd approve of the plan."
"..alright." -
"*I should've given him a cell phone or something..." Victoria mumbled, laying on her back on the couch.
"*You know they would have searched him and found it...it would have just caused problems." Adam pointed out, causing Victoria to sigh.
"*...I know...I'd just feel better if I could contact him...know he's safe and all."
"*I know...I wish it too. But right now, we can't." he said, gently helping her to her feet again. "*Come on...you should get some sleep, it's late."
"*...I'll try..."
It took her a little while to get to sleep, but when she did, she dreamt.
In her dream, she was floating in a black space, not so dark she couldn't see, just black in the sense that the color surrounded her. She knew she wasn't on the ground, though, because her clothing and hair were floating around, as though in a zero gravity chamber, her toes pointed down to the ground.
"Odd...I should be falling...not floating..."she mumbled, turning in the air to look all around her and seeing nothing.
After a few moments like this, she saw something out of the corner of her eye, and spun quickly. However, there was nothing...until she saw a person falling, and more falling all around her. Turning slowly, she watched as they fell, unable to tell who they were or why they were falling. It wasn't until something landed on her shoulder that she saw anything up close, and when she looked, it was a pure-white bat, seeming to shine against the dark background.
"...Hello." she said softly, reaching over to pet it. However, before she could, it hissed and bit her finger, before flying off again.
Before she could do anything further, she woke up,puzzled.
"Hmm...odd dream..." Standing and walking to the window, she could see the sun had risen, and a glance at her clock confirmed it was eight AM.
"Guess it's a good thing I took the day off...though that dream really is bothering me now...I should look up meanings later."
