Thread: All's Fair in Love and Mafia War (Cheshire and I)

He was close, very close, but before he had a chance to take her a nightmare laid claim. The pleasant smile that had been on her face drifted away with her pleasant dreams as this darker one slid in. The pleasant features twisted as she seemed to fight for control and to keep the nightmare from entering into her mind but it did and once it rooted it would go on no matter what she did. There was a woman, she could not see her face but she was beautiful, she was there for a moment and she held her arms out to Jin and called her. Jin tried to move, to go to the woman that called her, for a reason unknown to even herself she wanted to be a part of that embrace but when she tried to go to her she found her feet were stuck to the floor, she couldn??t make them move. She watched the woman who called to her, the light behind her was enveloping her and slowly stealing her from sight. In reality Jin struggled, gently moving her legs as her sleep would not allow her to kick. The moving dragged down the sheets, exposing even more of her nightgown. She rolled onto her side, Her face showed struggle as an arm reached forwards but seemed to be grasping nothing. The woman was gone and when the light faded away she was surrounded by little girls and she was in a dress. She was happy, it was her birthday, the day that every child dreams three hundred and sixty four days of every year and hers had come and it was every little girl??s dream. She got a pony! Now it was time for cake. But she didn??t want cake and she looked at her dad, ??Daddy I want to open presents!? she said, he just shield and let it happen. She walked with some friends to the table and Jerico was there, looking for the present he had gotten her, he picked up a present with no tag. ??When did this get here?? he asked then he began to open it to check it and Jin cried, ??That??s mine!? however when he opened the top her world was changed forever. The smile returned but not for long. Her hands clutched the sheets and a whimper escaped her. There was fire and chaos, people were screaming and snatching up their children. Jin tossed and turned, her lips parted as she mumbled something he would not be able to understand. ??Jerico? Jerico!? the child called, running towards the explosion but someone grabbed her. ??J....jerico.....? she mumbled, clawing her sheets. ??Don??t go there!? she was scolded but she tore away form the man and made it to her brother. On her way she tripped and when she looked down she saw an arm, her brothers. She screamed. ??Jerico.? She said louder, the nightmare pulling her back into the worst day of her life. Tears began to well up in her eyes and flow down her cheeks. Tears, she was crying. She was up to her brother but she didn??t recognize him as her brother. There was just a red mess and her father holding someone, a body, her brothers but she didn??t even recognize him. Her father was calling for him but he was already gone and she couldn??t move. When she got the courage to speak she yelled at her brother, wanting him to stop doing this and get up and be okay. Tears spilled down her cheeks as she sobbed gently in her sleep. ??Jerico.... please... wake up...? she sobbed in her sleep, unaware that she was being watched. ??You..... can??t.... you can??t....be....? no more words escaped her, only more sobs and tears came form her now, trapped in the day the changed her life and everything else forever.
