I hate writing the 'waking up after a bad dream' scenes because it's never really happened to me. So please, excuse.

Chapter 19
--
I was running down a hallway that never existed, with no beginning and no end. I didn't know why I was running. My legs ached and my lungs burned.
I tripped and fell
And fell
And fell
And fell until I hit the bottom.
The bottom was cold, dirty, and loud. So many people were talking all at once, I couldn't understand anything. There were growls and then a loud yowl. They were all shouting at a husky killing a cat.

I bolted up in the bed, breathing heavy.
What a strange dream...
I flopped back down onto the soft bed.
I'm on a bed...
I looked around. It seemed like a normal enough room, but not one I was familiar with.
I'm probably still in Nekozawa's mansion...
There was nothing out of the ordinary about this room.
Definitely not Nekozawa's room...
The curtains were drawn so it was pretty dark. I stood up to make sure Nekozawa wasn't in the room before I pulled back the curtains. It was dark.
Well that defeated the purpose.
I started to feel around for the switch. I stubbed my toe on something. I cursed quietly. I hated the dark. I never knew which was up. I gave up and made my way to the bed, banging into 2 chairs and a table. I flopped on the bed, pondering. I rolled onto my side.
Ok so... I came to see Nekozawa... his servant took me to his study... I came in and discovered how ridiculously gorgeous he is (blush)... I went to crush the spider... he made me fall...
I felt the back of my head and winced.
Sounds about right...
I rolled onto my back again.
"This is ridiculous and stupid!" I yelled at no one in particular.
"What is?"
I swear I nearly jumped out of my skin. It was Nekozawa, of course. I could tell by the voice.
"What the heck is wrong with you?"
"uh, I didn't mean to, uh... please excuse me..."
"No! Go get some candles or something!"
Nekozawa clicked on the dim lamp which was, apparently, on my bedside table. I looked at the lamp and back at Nekozawa. I did it again. I felt my face grow hot. I clicked the lamp off.
"Darkness is fine..."

I'm not really that happy with this chapter. It's all right...
