~Echo~

They saw me. Their red eyes looked at me with hatred, as the blood was pouring down from the fallen, giving horrid red patterns to the earth. I was paralyzed but still held me ground snarling my hair bristled along my spine, I gleamed my fangs at the beasts. They stopped, they didn’t like the sight of me before them, so instead of stepping forward, they suddenly created a wall of fire, ready to burn my skin to ashes. I jumped back ears flattened along my head hopelessly as if it could protect me from the taste of hell.

I screamed out horribly as the flames consumed me; tumbling helplessly as they refused to be put out. This time I knew I couldn’t save myself.

"Echo wake up!" My eyes opened in a shock as Shadow leaned over me shaking my shoulders. I realized I was back in the hotel roomas I looked around. "Echo, are you okay?" His eyes written with concern. "It's okay; I just had a bad dream that's all." I panted recovering from the nightmare while it still kept a small grasp on my consiousnes. "I just need some air..."

I slid out of the bed into my boots. "Just wait I'll come with you." He said jumping up. I frowned a little; I didn't want him to worry and he still seemed exhausted. I turned and put my hands on his chest. "No I'm okay, Shadow, really; just stay here and rest." I smiled; he seemed to want to protest but stopped. "If you're sure...just don't do anything reckless." He sighed and yawned stretching a little. "I won't, I promise; just get some rest." I tied my boots and headed out into the hallway.
