The sand sped under her feet as she ran escaping the large shadowy hand that paced along above her . The hand raced over her covering the stars with darkness until it caged over her sealing her in the blackness .
She felt trapped again like when she had be kidnapped and left in that cellar . She screamed for Jian with her eyes trying to pierce through the recurring nightmare .
When she opened them, it was the brightly lit room of the funeral parlor they had used for her dad's ceremony . White chrysanthemums lined the side of the walls and decorated around the open black casket .
There was no one else in the room except for her, unlike when it had happened in reality . Wearing the black dress she had worn then her heels made a clicking sound, echoing in the empty room as she made her way to her dad's casket .

Chang made her way down the walkway wondering what she would find inside .
After peeking inside she stumbled back and tried to run out . She pounded against the door trying to break it down after it wouldn't open peacefully . Chang felt like she might vomit after what she saw .
Inside, instead of her father lying peacefully in his black tuxedo it had been Jian . Death had taken his warm countenance leaving only a pale imitation of what once was .
'I don't want to see this . It isn't real . Wake up wake up wake up . ' She kept repeating it until she finally woke in bed covered in sweat .
Dawn was just starting to break through the room, letting in enough light to see that she was alone .
Chang shrugged on a long dress quickly before hurrying out wondering if she could catch him before he left . He was long gone though she realized when she reached the front gate breathless .
She sank to her knees leaning against the side of the stone .
'Why didn't you wake me to say goodbye . You better come back safely . . or I'll never forgive you .
Please come back to me safely . '

Liang Jian Amal looked through the scope of the gun down at the army still milling around the town they had ransacked and butchered . Maybe because they had vehicles to quickly bring them to the capitol they were in no rush to move out .
Their ragtag group had all ended up meeting early and set out on foot to meet them . They had quickly reached the outskirts of the town and hid themselves within the surrounding hills in groups .
"They seem to have a supply warehouse of some kind towards the center you see that?" Erol beside him whispered in a low voice to him lest the wind catch his words .
At the moment they still had the element of surprise, and they wanted to keep it that way until they were ready . They had to make the first attack really count .
"Yeah I see that, most likely their armory . They would have no need to store food if they're planning on taking Muzdahir today . " Liang Jian Amal looked to where Erol motioned seeing the men surrounding the building .
"That'd probably be a good place to start then . Stay here, keep an eye on them . I'm gonna go talk with the others . " Erol slunk back away on his belly staying hidden from sight leaving Liang Jian Amal alone on the top .
