dreamt by Eden
~ I only remember the end of it but at least it’s not a fragment dream. I think I had this right after reading a really scary chapter in "This Present Darkness" that had the same subject matter... ~
For some reason I (as a Duck) was walking along this big bridge and it was like midnight and it was kinda cold out and the only lights were sparsely placed white street lights. I think I was going back to the Pond... and then this gang sort of appeared, they were all really big (that might have had something to do with me being 5’ 2” as a Duck) and dressed in black leather (classic gang steriotype) etc. And they started attacking me. I ducked, and then they punched me in the stomach. I crumpled, the wind knocked out of me, then the big guy came and punched my face, and my face was bleeding from below my right eye down my cheek. They backed me up to the side of the railing and tried to push me over, but I kicked one guy, and fell back on the ground. Then, Nosedive appeared (apparently he’d been following me) and with a war cry started throwing guys (and girls) left and right. Two grabbed him by the arms and the big guy came up and started beating him up, but I jumped on his back and pounded his head and somehow we got away, them chasing us, and we lost them through this alley and got to my Duckcycle. We sat there panting for a while, assessing out wounds: Me with a twisted ankle and bleeding face, and Dive with his shirt TOTALLY torn up, a cracked rib and dislocated elbow. We clung to each other for a while, and then I got my medkit out of the pack on the back of my Duckcycle and bandaged his chest as best I could. Then we got on, me driving, and drove at top speed toward the Pond. Luckily, my Duckcycle is intelligent, and we got there OK. I don’t remember what happened once we got there, I just remember the ride. Cold air blowing my hair everywhere, stinging my cheek, and a throbbing ankle. And Dive’s arms around my waist.
