The skies were clear, Nora's mind even clearer as she rolled back and forth on the grass, little bits of dirt getting onto her long spaghetti strapped dress.
Nora spring up with energy she never exhibited before, sitting up and criss-crossing her legs. Looking at the distant scenery, she saw the usual clear clouds and fields of grass.
Bringing her hands out to feel the breeze kiss her bare skin she exhaled a breath she didn't know she was even holding.
"Alright, time to get moving!" She lifted herself up and the wind whipped her long black hair all around.
She then ran as fast as she thought her legs could go, just enough that-
"OKAY, this will never not feel crazy!"
-She flew.
The wind held her for a short while before letting her go again.
The process repeated itself with her running and being picked up by the wind to glide along for a short while, her dress fluttering against her legs.
When she had gotten her ability she had developes some weird sleeping patterns that she used to believe were snippets of the future.
Crazy stuff, huh?
With that came nightmares, and other symptoms that kids who artificially induced their abilities could have.
I mean, it wasn't a total loss though. With Dream snatcher dust she could have colorful dreams like these and check her progress without a machine.
But...
That's not what she's here for.
Mid-glide Nora's face turned serious as she lightly touched the grass with her feet. The green plains ended at a point where decay and barren land began.
Almost like the world was split in half. She kneeled down and touched the decay. The reason for all this is because Nora was a very spoiled 'medicine baby'.
Newly developed awakeners shouldn't be exposed too highly potent medicines or else they risk destroying themselves. Which when she had heard about where she would be attending School she..
"Okay, this is fine. It's not bad today." Groaning Nora slid both of her hands down her face at once.
So right now she was trying to fix herself before her worry wart mother finds out, and going to the nurse is her very last option right now.
If the nurse finds out, the principal finds out.
If the principal finds out,the teachers find out.
If the teacher's find out then-
You get what I'm trying to say?
For someone to check out what's damaged they get to look at almost everything, I'd rather bribe the shady healer before that.
Sooooo in total right now I'm decent in terms of strength, but if I use my full power it gets worse.
Anyway, purple dream snatchers don't change a single thing.
"I don't want to accidentally do something I'll regret, but what if I just..."
When I tried to reach across to the barren land my hand stopped like touching an invisible wall.
"..."
Even putting her full body weight didn't change a single thing.
She flopped to the ground hopeless placing her hands in her lap while staring at the problem right in front of her.
Her green eyes darkened considerably while the surrounding breeze turned into swirling heavy wind, hitting the wall like hail on a window.
'please,please,please,please,please.'
The wind even started to push around Nora as she cupped her face her indifferent face twisting into frustration.
"Why would I even do this? I really don't get it."
She imagined her mother's loving face morph into one of disappointment and fear for her.
The accelerating winds kept tossling her hair to the point you couldn't see her face, or the stray tears lost in the wind.
She started sneaking the medicine early because she wanted to be "the strongest" in her class to show off to her future classmates.
She regrets it
EVERY
SINGLE
DAY.
She stayed there letting her ability wreak havoc for a little before she heard knocking and a screeching voice, she slowed the chaos to hear more clearly Tori yelling at her to wake up.

Tori woke up and immediately went to take a shower before a certain hog woke up from their slumber.
After though she got dressed and waited a little while before going to poke the hibernating bear a bit.(Her room resembled a cave, so she would tease Nora about it a lot.)
"Nora! Wake yer' fat ass up." She went to pound onto the door when an unfazed Nora opens it with a smirk.
"What are you so worked up for?" Nora closed her door behind her and walked leisurely to the bathroom to get ready.
"Such a weirdo.."
