[u]FY-1387-EM[/u]

A vast, open field, seemingly endless with no chance of providing any form of cover. No trees, no man-made structures...nothing. That’s what Eliana was up against. That, and the terrifying creature in close pursuit. To make matters worse, she didn’t get any faster with each step, but quite the contrary, rather. The distance was slowly closing between her and her tormentor, regardless of how fast she attempted to run. Her mind was practically screaming at her to go faster, but her legs weren’t obeying such orders. It was frustrating to say the least. That’s what she felt: frustration and fear. An odd combination, really.

During a lapse of judgement, Eliana decided to look back behind her. That mistake proved to be fatal when she clumsily missed a step and unceremoniously fell down to the ground. The landing hurt a bit, but it wasn’t anything to complain about. Her pursuer, however, was just about to change that. In a last ditch attempt to save herself, Eliana raised her arms in front of her as if that would somehow protect her. She then saw the creature leap in the air screeching and moments before it landed on her, Eliana woke up startled and covered in sweat. She blinked her eyes for a moment, realizing that she was in the safety of her room. No creature in sight. Well, not in the form she had just experienced. The alarm was annoying enough to make her get up and out of bed. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms over her head, and then she waited.

However, some time passed and she was still waiting. Slightly confused, Eliana approached the door and noticed it was unlocked. She pushed it ever so slowly and peered down the hall in one direction. [i]O que está acontecendo?[/I] she thought to herself, not having the slightest clue where anyone was or why her door was unlocked. She then took a step forward, placing herself in the hall with her back against the wall. Maybe they were running late?
