Too many of them. Where did they come from? She should have been more careful, more wary, but instead her soldiers limp, lifeless bodies were thrown back at her, a reminder of the price she paid for not being a better leader. She should have been the one to have scouted the area, she should have been more faster. Her claymore wasn't cutting through the demons fast enough, no matter how much she kept pushing herself to be more faster and harder it wasn't enough, more of her soldiers were crying out in pain until the last cry fell silent and all that was left was the howling of the demons. No choice but for the red headed knight to head back, to leave behind her friends and those who she trained with, grew with as a knight and her comrades.

She could hear their whispers and cries of pain in her head as she ran down an endless path.

Why didn't you save us?

Elesis, help me!

Elesis!

Before more whispers of dread and sorrow filled the female's mind, it was drowned out by the whispers of promises yet threats, that if she let them her stronger, the demons will die, all of them, and she wouldn't hear the soldier's cry of helplessness anymore. But there was hissing of if she failed, if she let anything get in her way and distract her from her revenge they would kill her. Cackling and wailing filled Elesis' mind once more as she found herself slicing through demons with her blood, death tugging at her life, but she refused as she took the demon's life and used to take back what she was losing until she came to the last demon, claymore swiftly ending the demons life.

She had done it, but why weren't the cries going? Why wasn't she waking up from the nightmare? The cries of her fallen comrades grew louder and louder, blocking out any other sound.

Elesis...

Elesis...

Elesis!

With a jolt, the Crimson Avenger awoke, finding herself being held down by two others. She writhed around, panicking until the voices had rung familiar in her mind, and she slowly calmed down, slightly moving her head to see Blazing Heart and Grand Master being the ones who were holding her down, looks of concern written on their faces. As the Crimson Avenger took in quick breaths, the Grand Master muttered something to Blazing Heart before running off, leaving Blazing Heart with the pinned down female. The red head panicked once more and sat up, incoherently crying out after the Grand Master to not go, breath hitching when the female that was left with her gently picked her up and began to stroke her hair, whispering how everything was going to be ok, Grand Master was only getting water, the kitchen was only in the next room and they were safe, there was nothing out there anymore.

Blazing Heart was true to her word as the third female hastily came back with the glass of water, holding onto it until Crimson Avenger had calmed from Blazing Heart's actions and words, shakily taking the water and sipping it. The two female's continued to murmur and whisper to her, assuring her that she had gotten rid of the demons, it was time of peace now and nothing was attacking anymore.

Crimson Avenger frowned, albeit she had finally calmed from her nightmare, something was still bothering her.

If what they said was true, why was she still being haunted?
