Cassandra grabbed one of the dummies and started dragging it back to her dorm. Damn, it was so much heavier than she’d expected. When she finally got it to the lounge area of her dorm, she ditched it there rather than drag it to her room. Exhausted, she threw herself onto the comfy sofa, drifting asleep even though she didn’t mean to.

In her dream something was chasing her but she could only make out a shadowy shape. Cass was running as fast as she could but it was gaining on her even as she darted in and out of the trees that appeared in front of her. When the [i]thing[/i] got so close she could almost feel it touch her she screamed, turned around and blasted it with flames. 

The suddenness of it woke her and she bolted upright on the sofa. What a horrible dream. She became very aware she was still in her training clothes, feeling silly in the crop top now she was back in her door she stood up, about to go take a shower. As she stood she noticed burn marks on the sofa. Had she done that in her sleep or had it already been there before? Cassie looked down at her hands, confused.
