Challenge of the Month XXXI
Write a story about astral projecting into the room of your sleeping enemy. A psychopath crawls through the window and is skulking toward the bed. You have the ability to stop the violence, should you choose, by scaring the shit out of the perp, or you decide to simply observe and taste the sweet wine of revenge. But, you know it comes with a cost: Your conscience. Does this person really deserve death, or close, or will your intervention put you at peace with the past?

Lady Sakura’s Nightmare

Morningside Heights, Sakura's Apartment

Sakura bid her sisters' a good night. She left them laughing as they watched their favorite movie. She hated films that had no purpose to them and gave off a sigh, "I'm glad they're happy."

Sakura yawned as she entered her bedroom. It had been a while since she had a good night's sleep. She thought of Daniel and wondered what he was up to. She closed her eyes immediately going into a trance.

Harlem, Her Nemesis’ Bedroom

Sakura opened her eyes realizing where she was, "Why in the world am I in the Arcade?" Sakura complained. She watched the bedroom as a menacing figure roamed about. She gave off a wide smile as the figure approached the bed.

"You don't get the pleasure of taking her out." Sakura moved next to the figure. She withdrew the dagger she wore around her neck. The figure froze in place as a cold breeze blew into the room.

"I would love to see her dead, but I made a promise that I must keep. Leave here!" Sakura spoke into the figure's ear. He made for the window mumbling along the way.

"You've been spared for today." Sakura sighed. She noticed the woman rousing from her deep slumber. She screamed for her partner as Sakura left the apartment.

She returned to the top of her building deciding that she would watch the sunrise, "She deserved death; however, I rather not deal with the consequences with the Earth Legions."

“You spared her again, Sakura? You’re getting weak in your old age.” Cheryl spoke dryly.

“Shut it, Scarlet. It’s not her time.”
