[August 4] [Persona 2] Memory and Dream
Title: Memory and Dream
Day/Theme: Day 4/She left her life on Monday
Series: Persona 2: Innocent Sin/Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
Character/Pairing: Maya
Rating: PG
Maya hadn't expected the pain.
Her legs crumpled and she fell, time slowing to a crawl like in the movies. Strong arms caught her before she hit the ground, and she felt herself being gently lowered.
She looked up, vision already fading in and out, and saw the man (no...not a man) standing there, fangs bared in laughter. Behind him stood the woman (her killer), casually holding the battered, bloodstained spear.
Voices came at her, but she could barely hear what they were saying. Attempting to gasp out a few words left her drained and in pain. And as the world slowly turned to darkness, Maya saw a kind, gentle face, drawn into lines of worry and care. Don't worry, she wanted to tell him. Just forget about me...
******
Maya woke up in a sweat. A dream like that...
The memory already fading, her hand stole down unconsciously to her side, expecting to find...she didn't really know. But the skin felt a bit tender and painful, like a bad bruise.
Almost like a sleepwalker, Maya threw off the covers and padded out to the kitchen in her nightgown. Her roommate Ulala was at the stove, making breakfast. Humming happily, she turned to Maya. "Morning, slug-a-bed!"
Maya made an incoherent sound, then sat at the counter, her eyes still half shut.
Ulala turned away from the food to waggle a finger at her. "Did you ask for the afternoon off? Remember, tonight's that matchmaker party I was telling you about!"
"What...oh, yeah." Maya shook her head, and her expression cleared. "Sorry, I'm just tired. I didn't sleep well."
"Oh, that sucks. And at the beginning of the week too - now you'll be low on sleep all week. I hate Mondays," Ulala said.
Maya grimaced. "Tell me about it."
