raisetheearth | Memory reliving [Video during and after]

Dani had been out and about, walking around to keep her mind off of things. At first she didn't notice how dark it was getting nor the people starting to follow her. But once she did, a fear took over, making her walk quicker then before. They were following her and..there was silver in their hands. They were HUNTING HER. It was made more obvious as they started to move to try and surround her.

The feeling wouldn't be shaken as they started to chase her. She took off, ducking through alleyways and trying to make it hard for them to follow her but they kept coming. At some point, Dani started crying and screaming "GET AWAY- GO AWAY"

It keeps going for a while, although to people on the street, She's running from nothing and making a mess. Finally she skids into a side street and hides, her eyes refocusing and a shiver running through her. What was going on...?

[Video]

[For a bit there is crying and sharp movements and a blur on screen. Dani's phone was in her hand when this all started and after a while it gets dark and quiet..other then quiet obs.]

I..I don't like this...what is going on...?

What?...But it got really dark when they chased me..?

[Dani looks so confused and tired]

I'm sure I would have noticed...

[Given how tired Dani seems to be, heading home seemed like the best option right now.]

[She kept running for so long after everything had ended that it worse her out. If she was calmer and had more of a idea of what happened, it was likely Dani would have dozed off by now.]

I...don't understand Emi....What's going on?

Was it... just in your head?

[They were nearly back home, and things were as calm as ever there.]

[Dani's still very tense although also still limp. It wouldn't be until they were inside and she might make it to being laid down before crashing out for about a hour. Better answers would be easier to come by after that nap.]

...Dunno. Was trying to get away...

[The first thing she does once inside is head straight to Dani's room... and then she'll gently place the girl on the bed.

While she sleeps, Emi doesn't go far...]

[Dani's asleep before she even hits the bed. It's not a peaceful nap but it doesn't wake her. Finally after a hour she wakes up but doesn't say anything yet. Rubbing her eyes and just sitting there quietly, trying to gather her thoughts. Somethings were a bit clearer now..but some were still as confusing.]

[Emi, she'll find, is still there, sitting by the bed and reading something on her flashy phone, only looking up once she notices movement.]

You're up?

[Said in Romanian, of course.]

[Dani nods a little bit, still rubbing at her eyes. She pulls her little flip phone out of her pocket, as she had been asleep on it and tosses it to the side for now.]

Yes...How long was I asleep Emi?

About an hour...

[There is a slight nod at that and she pulls her knees to her chest.]

Emi...A lot of my echos or memories make Flandre seem like a bad guy. Are you sure I wasn't someone bad or did something really bad back then?

[Emilia was silent for a moment...]

What can you remember about her?

[It takes her a moment to respond but even then, she's hesitating.]

She..She was in the basement alone..others though she was a monster...

[Another pause because she never said anything about the echo she got when she was injured by the Wolpertiger although it probably had been obvious about how jumpy she was with her wings...She also swaps into Japanese to try and hide what she says next.]

-...They also tore out her original wings-

[ Unfortunately, Emilia had regained the ability to speak and understand Japanese... And to prove it, she'll respond in it. ...Once the shock of that statement wears off. ]

-...I hope Remilia killed them all.-

[ Dani's gonna get hugged tightly now. ]

[Even though she flinches a bit, Dani hugs back tightly, not wanting to let go. She's suprised she was understood but goes with it. If Flandre knew Japanese, Remilia probably did as well so she keeps it to herself.]

-...Maybe. But still...Those people chasing me...they kinda reminded me of the people who did that to her. They wouldn't do that to a good person though or call them a devil or murder...-

[Dani's got the wrong idea from it, if only for the reason she doesn't remember .]

-They might have been like the people that... hurt me. I don't think she was bad... She couldn't have been. I don't think Remilia would have allowed it.-

[ So far... Remilia doesn't seem very bad to Emilia... ]

[Oh...oh. Dani stiffens up at the memory of that being brought up. Probably not the best thing to bring up as she still has nightmares about that although she never says anything about it.]

-...I don't understand though. Why are they coming back now of all times? Why does it seem like she's always bad in my memories?-

[Dani still had some back issues, all relating to her wings. They still tired out her back muscles because her own muscle structure was still of a small human child. Her wings droop at this point as her back is screaming..and she's refusing to say or show it.]

I really don't know...

[ There seemed like there was only so much she could do. ]

[She's quiet for a moment before she starts mumbling.]

I'm tired of it Emi...Just all the bad things and the bad memories and the pain and....my back hurts, we all lose friends...mean scary people come after us..

[Dani's shut her eyes tightly. This is just...too much for her right now.]

[Emi just holds Dani close to her, trying to comfort her as best she can...]

[It's not long after that Dani just starts to quietly cry. Getting mad and upset something she couldn't stop wasn't an option she felt she had..so crying was the best choice.

Although after a moment]

If..if I ever lose my number...what would you do with me?
