Bad Good Dream

Clutching my books, I hurried to class. Being late for the first day of school would do nothing for my image as good, GUAI girl etc etc..

When I opened the door, I was stunned - was I in the wrong class or what? I didn't recognise a single face, nor did I recognise the lab in the first place. All the computers were replaced by 8 PDA stations. There were around 20 people in the class already, making me the odd one out..again.

The teacher breezed in behind me; so much for being late and trying to keep my image from being tarnished...

We were asking to squeeze ourselves into groups so that everyone at least sat somewhat near a PDA and could use it. I immediately headed for the pair of PDAs at the back of the classroom since everyone (in typical nerd fashion) rushed for the front ones.

I thought I was going to pair up with this cute (dark-skinned) guy then he moved away to join his guy friends (was I that intimidating or what?). Instead, I was joined by a shy quiet girl who looked decidingly familiar, especially when she gave me a tentative hey-I-recognise-you kind of smile.

I replied with a smile, when the teacher started to teach. After a while, I had started to play with the PDA, as was my nature with anything new. Explore, decide, destroy. XD

The door suddenly opened, and Wialn burst in, out of breath. Wow, was he in my class? Possibly the cutest guy (at least, by my standards) that I've ever talked to was gonna be in my class? He ignored the teacher and ran to me, grabbing my hand and said, "They're coming after us! Let's go!"

Huh? Go where?

Who cares? I was going to be hanging out with him, that was all I cared about. So I let him pull me along, out of the class, down various hallways, into a stairwell, in which we descended till B2.

Bursting out of the stairwell, I suddenly felt a vibration in my pocket and stopped short in my tracks. Wialn went ahead to the...grocery shop (??? since when did we have a grocery shop in B2 of the school??!) and got a lot of stuff while I fumbled for my earpiece so I could run without having to hold the phone to my ear.

"Hello?? This is Mrs. Lee from Prima Deli Centrepoint!! Maya, can you work this coming Saturday?"

"WHAT?!" I gasped. "C'mon. You must be kidding me. I quit that place like, 2 weeks ago. Stop calling to ask if I can work, because I can't!"

"But we really need the people. I can't work this Saturday coz I have a doctor's appointment and the others can't as well."

"No way."

With that, I hung up on her, only to see Wialn returning with 5 bagfulls of groceries. "Uh..What's going on?" I asked, only to be shushed and hurried.

We hurried through the school, him leading the way and occasionally glancing backwards at me and past me. We got to the 4th floor of the boy's dorm area, when he cursed.

"What?" I came to a flying halt behind him. Peering over his shoulder, I felt another vibration in my pocket. Jamming my thumb onto the answer button, I half-yelled, "What?"

"Maya, this is Mr. Pal here. Can you work this Saturday?"

Trying to cover my shock, I took a deep breath and spoke, "Mr. Pal, I've already quit working for you. You shouldn't be asking me to work for you again. It isn't fair to me or the others."

As we talked, I saw the problem ahead. The bridge that was used to cross to the main administration building (that led to the entrance/exit of the school) has drastically narrowed. It would be like walking on a narrow beam of metal, only that it was 4 stories high. I looked down and saw all the other bridges below had also shrunk. Was this the work of whatever forces were chasing us?

Still talking on the phone, I anxiously watched Wialn inch till he had covered 3/4 of the bridge, then started, hoping that a gust of wind wouldn't knock me off. The plastic bags I held suddenly felt very heavy, and I could only shuffle forward.

I moved 1/4 down the bridge, still talking to Mr. Pal. Wialn was almost to the end when I saw him find a rope attached to the end. He grabbed that rope and threw his bags to the platform at the end, then turned around, heading for me.

I suddenly shook with fear as I looked down. Wialn had almost reached me and he was yelling, "Take the rope, I'll get you across!" I whimpered, fear freezing my blood to ice, turning my flesh to stone.

I didn't want to die (at least, not in front of this hunk XD)

I carefully put down one plastic bag (I was holding 2) in front of me. As I crouched down, I noticed there were handholds in the beam itself. Maybe I could swing myself across, like the monkey bars we had in Primary school.

And then, still talking on the phone (you'd think in such a dangerious situation I'd have hung up since the start...), I reached for a handhold, using the other plastic bag of groceries that I held to balance myself...

Reached..

Reached..

Oh shit.

Overbalanced.

My fingers brushed the cold steel as I heard Wialn anguished cry of "No!" echo as I fell away from him.

I woke up, gasping and my heart drumming in my chest. I didn't want to see the ending. I like to deny such things. I checked my phone's clock: 4.07am. Groaning softly I went back to sleep.

4 hours later, I still won't know if I died or lived. I like to think that I lived though. It was all a bad kind of good dream. Good dream because it was with Wialn, bad because I couldn't see all the way through till the ending.

And I don't want the world to see me
I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.This is a card of courage and energy.
It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it.
Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot.
With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
