[fancypost borderwidth=0;line-height: 12px; text-align: justify;]He was always out of reach. Running, weaving, pushing through the busy crowds of... As she tried to find a name for this certain place she was running through, nothing came to mind. It was just a city. Ruined due to old age, but still capturing the beautiful charm it seemed to glow with. The flash of blonde here and there between the ebony pelts of this crowd. The impatient flicker of his chipped ears as he waited for her to catch up. As soon as she was in a lunge's distance from him, he'd always take off again. Sometimes he'd glance back, but figures blocked his whole face. Or most of it, anyway. The icy blue gaze always seemed to find her own, though, and it was those small glances he gave her that made her continue on. She could feel the pavements below her crackling with each step, hear the tree's in the distance following the direction of the breeze. Ignoring her head screaming at her to blow down and figure out what to do next, she skidded around the corner after him. Like she always did, running after him like a useless puppet, strung between her claws ad he flicked her around with ease.
Then he'd melt into the floor, disappearing as she stumbled over the spot he had been standing in only a few seconds ago. She took one more glance around, desperate, clinging to any hope she had left. All the people that had been crowding around to block a proper view had vanished into thin air. With a heavy heart, Lady realized so was the blonde male with the sparkling blue gaze.
The cream tabby woke with a start, grumbling under her breath as she scrambled from her sticky bed sheets. Wishy didn't actually know if cats could sweat, but if not, it was just... Water.Yep, water worked well. She looked around the dimly lit bedroom and sighed deeply. It was a disgusting looking room-- she usually slept outside in the tree's if it was too hot inside, or in the main plaza with all the 'grunge hippies'. Although they didn't include them in their conversations, they kept her couch warm for her during the day, so that was better than a cold cushion.
As she walked out into the cool mall, she thought some more about the dream. It was one she had been having for a few weeks now, and that was only when she was sleeping. Lady's insomnia was still strong and proud, rotting away into her energy and British timezone-d brain. Whenever she slept, she was opening her mind to a new world of dark nightmares, but she kept hoping they'd give her some sort of clue about Dally. Lady knew that this wasn't some sort of episode of Pretty Little Liars, but it was still scary to think he was probably out there somewhere, choosing to not come back.
Sure, that hurt. It stung quite a lot, actually, but she wasn't going to let anyone know that. On the outside, the Viscountess seemed fine. She always had: bubbly, smiling, optimistic, happy. One day she would be those four words, but not right now, not when she had so many strings attached. Strings that weren't being cut any time soon.
The blonde tabby took a seat on one of the plastic chairs, letting out a word and staring up at the glass ceiling, wondering when the sun was going to come up.
