Fight in the night of the mind - chapter 2.

2.

Seimole awoke with a start, brought out of a seeming nightmare by something she couldn't quite see or understand. She looked around her darkened room, comforted to a small extent by the familiar belongings and the quiet warmth of her room. She sat in bed for a long time, the feeling of confusion and dread would not leave her. Her mind was racing trying to retrace its steps, trying to think back into her dreams, trying to remember what it was that had frightened her so. She sat wrapped in her bed for what seemed an eternity, the holo-clock on her bedside table displaying the passing minutes. What had I seen? What was so frightening? However after a few hours had passed all that she could remember was looking in a darkened room, lit only by a cool blue light, running and then waking up in her bed. She also could not figure out why it seemed so urgent for her to unravel this dream, but there was a nagging voice in the back of her mind that kept prompting her to continue searching whenever she thought of stopping. This time however she ignored the insistent voice, gracefully left her bed and headed to her private bath. The holo-clock displayed 5:12am.
