Haruhi opened her eyes to see only darkness. "H...Hello?" She called.
A light came forward and suddenly she found herself surrounded by light. she covered her eyes, letting them adjust. Soon the landscape before her became clear. She stood in a forest, the trees bare, and the only life was a raven, its coal black eyes bore into her.
'Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.''
A voice came. "Wh... Who was that?" Haruhi stuttered. Thunder boomed around her, seemingly echoing around her. The cross-dressing girl fell to her knees. Her eyes growing large. "What do you want?"
'But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.''
Haruhi covered her ears. "No more! Please!" Tears made their way past her eyes, and fell down her face.
'But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.''
"Please... Stop..." Haruhi squeezed her eyes shut and yelled. "STOP!"
The raven above her screeched. "NEVERMORE, NEVERMORE!"
"STOP!" Haruhi jolted up in her bed. Bed? Haruhi looked around, unfamiliar with her surroundings. Where am I?
Loud footsteps resonated through the building, coming toward her. "Haruhi!" A group of people yelled in unison.
"Y... Yes?" Haruhi asked. "What? H... How'd I get here?" The brown haired girl inquired.
"We're glad you're awake, and you're in the high school's infirmary." Mori's voice calmly stated.
"Th... Thank you..." The girl laying down ground out hoarsely. "Why am I here?"
"You passed out in the hall." Koaru sighed. "I found you there after you left the club for the day."
"Oh..."
"Haruhi!" Tamaki burst into the room, phone still in hand. "Are you okay?" He asked, refraining from glomping her. "Oh! I almost forgot! I have a place for you to stay!"
Haruhi smiled, a tear slipping down her face before slipping back into unconsciousness.
A/N: Well, There's a super-fast update!
Haruhi: Edgar Allen Poe dream? How unoriginal.
Tamaki: Ah, be nice.
Pikachu: Pikapika!
Me: The heck?
