The being, or whatever the right word for it on the other side left him terrified, horrified, and the feeling of the skeletal hand made him want to scream... Until it stopped, and he was going to take a deep breath of relief, except suddenly he was back on the island, and he looked around, confused. What had just happened to him?
Dream of the Future
Anepou relaxed, and began to wander around the Island, heading into Main HQ in a vague way. He felt calm, nothing unusual seemed to be up. He glanced at the phone, noticing the date. The part of him that knew it was a dream found itself noticing that this date was exactly a month from today. How oddly specific, for a dream. HQ looked like it normally did, if a bit rough still. It'd only been a month since the Hurricane after all. He opened the door to the main headquarters, and was very startled to hear a GREAT deal of yelling, screaming, fighting maybe even.
He paused, for half a second, then took off, full out. He didn't know what was going on but he couldn't ignore it. It felt like it took forever to get there, like he was running through knee deep mud. It probably was less then a minute, but time does weird things when you're panicked, he'd found. And what he found when he got there was some one had somehow gotten a VERY BIG Jousting Beast type of creature into the hall, and it was rampaging. People were fighting it, and it seemed to be doing a large amount of damage. It probably was because it had a hell of a reach, so anyone trying to get in close had to dodge flying claws.
He saw people had gone down, and began to pull people out as best as he could, when he heard a familiar voice screaming in pain. He whirled, and yelled "RUTH!" Because Ruth had just taken a nasty as ******** blow to the torso. He couldn't let her go down, even if he thought she was an awful person at heart... He couldn't. He charged in, calling on Kamilah. He began slashing with the Ankh Staff, managing to get some hits, enough that he was able to get to Ruth. He used one hand to try to keep the Beast back, another carefully looping around Ruth, lifting her against him so he could carry her out of the monster's reach.
He managed to get to where grabbing hands took her from him, when he felt SEARING pain on his back, like nothing he'd ever known. He screamed, like an animal about to die, and felt it again. He looked back, his vision going red already and saw the beast's claws slicing through his spine. Mercifully, it was fast, and everything went black in moments.
Waking
Anepou sat STRAIGHT up in bed, covered in a cold sweat, and horrified. Oh gods, he'd just had a dream of his death. He didn't have much time between now and then, and he had no way to stop it, either. He couldn't allow Ruth to die, and he had no idea how to prevent that monster from getting into HQ... He was doomed, his death had been locked in, and he now knew it.
