Melody woke up to an awful smell. Opening her eyes she was again laying in that foul smelling hallway, completely naked. The stench of unwashed bodies mixed with waste, the smell of blood and death forced itself into her nostrils. This was worse then before because the floor here was wet as well. In the dim light she couldn't make out what it was, and she really didn't want to know. Melody looked around hopeing to see Ratchet, Gwen or Casey but she was alone. She stood, shivering not because it was cold, it was far from cold here, Melody was frightened. She walked down the corridor again to the open door. This time no blue people, at least not in the whole sense. A single red creature stood at what seemed to be a huge blood stained bucher's block. He was eating someone's arm. Melody couldn't help herself as she went into dry heaves and collapsed to the floor with a splash. It turned to look at her. Melody's eyes widened with terror as she realized he was looking right at her . It said something that strangely sounded like the words "Fresh Meat." Melody leapt to her feet as it advanced. A smile played on its lips as it bent down to look Melody in her eyes. The creature inhaled, smelling her and let out a Mmmm as it exhaled. Melody was shakeing uncontrolably as it inhaled again. "BOO!" It yelled at her and Melody lost it . She ran back up the hallway. She could hear it laughing a horriably, gleefuly, evil laugh as it bounded easily after her. She turned a corner and ran right into a huge red leg. "GRR!" It growled at her and nashed its pointy teeth. Melody slipped on the wet floor and scrambled backwards. She ducked between the legs of the oncomming red Beast. It howled in merriment as its prey went fleeing back up the corridor it had just chased her down. But now she had two of the red demons tailing her and she was at wits end with fright. Things only got worse from there becuse it seemed that everywhere she turned another red thing would block her path. They had poor Melody surrounded. One of them wrapped its huge red hand around her. She could feel its strength. There was no way she could break it's grasp. It raised her above its head and opened its mouth. She could smell the blood and rotted flesh on its hot breath. It opened it hand and Melody slid from its palm, falling into its open maw. Melody screamed....as she fell out of her bed. An alarm went off in ME as the sonics of her scream mixed with the altered atmosphere of her quarters bent the ceiling above Melody's bed. There was no where on the ship that the her scream wasn't heard and several security people rushed to her quarters. The entered Melody's room to find her balled up on the floor, tangled in her sheets her eyes wide with fright, the sheets soaked. Melody had to be given a seditive to calm her down. Security was dissapointed that it had only been a nightmare... Lt. JG Melody Assistant Medical Officer USS Eagle --------------------------------- Yahoo!
