Chapter Text
The rain falls against my body in a light patter, feeling the water soak into my clothing sends shivers through my spine. I can hear the rustle of leaves flowing with the heavy wind. And the rumble of thunder blazing through the sky. Squinting my eyes open, I see nothing but my hand pressed against the cold, hard ground.
That's odd... My body feels wet and cold, but my head feels heavy and awake. I seem to be laying on the ground, but with no memory of how I got here.
A groggy moan escapes my throat. Feeling my body pulse underneath the ground.
Am I outside? Where did this storm come from? What the hell?
A gust of wind hits my back and a wave of heavy rain splashes onto my face. I gasp at the contact. Coughing loudly, I open my eyes. Suddenly wide awake.
God, what... What's happening? Where am I?
Light flashes before my eyes as a bolt of lightening blazes through the sky. I squint my eyes at the sight, not wanting to get blinded by the light.
Shifting my body, I try to look around and see where I am. But there was nothing but tall trees and a dark, grey sky above my head. The flash of light erupts my daze again, and I feel myself shifting upwards.
What's happening? How on earth did I get here? Why can't I remember anything!
Okay... Stay cool, Lance. It's just a little bit of rain. Nothing to worry. Nothing will hurt you-
Another flash of light sparks in the distance, my body jolts in fright at the sound.
I should probably get out of here.
I can feel the wind getting stronger against my body. Almost losing my balance as I now stand on my own two feet.
God damn, it's freezing! I can't believe this is happening to me. Okay, where to go now?
Wrapping myself with my jacket, I hover my hand in front of my face to avoid the water getting into my eyes. Luckily, I can just make out a big lighthouse on top of the hill. Maybe I can go there and stay for shelter.
Yeah. That would be best.
I start making my way up the wooden stairs to the lighthouse. It was quite a complicated climb, considering all of the lose branches and leaves laying around the place. My head still hurts from my slumber. And the rain doesn't help me either.
Seriously, how long have I been wiped out?!
All I can remember was being in class, and having that dumb lecture from Mr. Shiro. He... he was talking about some photography competition... and, something else.
Whatever has happened, its probably Hunk's fault.
Stumbling across the wooden stairs, I can now feel the wind getting heavier. It was hard to tell where I was going because of the rain. But luckily, I somehow make my way around the large branch and now stand on top of the hill.
The lighthouse was white and still had its lights turned on. I keep a steady pace to try and not to trip or fall. Coming closer to the lighthouse, I can see that the building hasn't been used in a while. No wonder, this place is completely abandoned.
But that wasn't the only thing that shocks me. My breath almost stops completely as I stand star struck at what's before my very own eyes.
A massive tornado was rippling through the ocean. And heading towards the city!
"Holy shit." I say.
How long have I been asleep?
The massive tornado carries itself through the ocean and takes whatever it comes in its grasp. I stare at the wide open tornado in awe. But I also stand there confused and scared. Where did this tornado come from? How come its here? This place is mostly known for having no rain or even thunder storms. But this?
This was a fucking tornado! Like what the actual fuck?!
Oh man... Where is everybody?
Hunk? Where's Hunk?!
Oh god! Is he dead?!
Shit!
I am completely helpless as I look around the area. There has to be something. There has to be!
Suddenly, something large comes straight above my head. I duck my head to avoid getting hit. Like that's gonna help. But only didn't I realise that the large object had hit the lighthouse.
Oh no... oh no, oh no, oh no.
The top part of the lighthouse tumbles down. The impact sends the top of the lighthouse falling down. And its heading my way!
Oh no. I'm gonna die! No shi-
---
I gasp.
Wait... I'm alive?
"Lance?"
I... I was just-
"Lance?"
There was a storm... and I was there... I almost died.
"Lance!"
Holy shit. Was that a dream?
"Lance!"
Startled, I look up to see my photography teacher, Mr. Shiro. He glares down at me with his stupid black rimmed glasses. Ah I'm in trouble.
"Please don't sleep while I'm teaching this class, Lance. And you might wanna wipe that droll off your face while your at it."
The class snickers at me and turns their attention back to Mr. Shiro. I blush lightly and wipe the sloppy droll off my face.
Crap. Did I really fall asleep? Man, it felt so real. Like I was actually there. But the real question is, why did I dream about some tornado evading this city?
And why on earth does everything feel so... different. So... strange?
