This is just a dream, right? Linnae forced herself to frown, meanwhile leaving her eyes closed. The room around her was rumbling slightly, from what, she didn't know.
She hoped it was just some sort of construction going on outside of her house.
Wait. Why hasn't anyone woken me up yet? Linnae's breath hitched as she remembered the past few events that had happened prior to her current state. But this room wasn't rumbling at all when I got in here... She attempted a groan, but only ended up with a weak hiss that grated against her throat. 'Might as well get up..' She mouthed as she rolled over the side of the bed, reaching the ground in an undignified heap that was contained in a tight roll of woman and blanket.
A groan finally managed to escape her lips as she struggled to disentangle herself and sit upright on top of the lumpy mattress that had caused an almost mind numbing pain in her lower back and right shoulder.
Finally perched atop the edge of the bed, she flexed her arm, watching as her hand slowly closed and opened, the tingling of long time dormancy slowly fading.
The room shook, stronger than the vibrations that Linnae felt. She flinched and forced herself to stand, and leaning on the wall beside her, she moved towards the drawers that stood across the room, most likely bolted down, as they were easily staying still against the wall instead of sliding around the room as it shook.
The room shook violently again, causing Lin to square her shoulders. This time, the shaking didn't stop, and she wasted no time in retreating to one side of the room, the side she had just started walking away from. Hanging onto one of the rusting wall lamps with a white knuckled grip, she held her other hand over her head, and kept her feet apart, fearing for the worst.
The worst came as Linnae was tossed mid-air as the chamber was flipped.
She hit the wall containing the empty closet with a loud thud, and all the air that she had been holding in her was released. Linn lied there stunned for a few seconds before noticing that the room had stopped moving.
She muttered obscenities under her breath as she pulled herself up, thanking whatever divine being that watched over her for not being injured, just slightly bruised, or at least, that's what Lin hoped, as she winced as her bony hand prodded where the impact hit her hardest.
"I really hope that there's someone else around that's alive." Lin croaked as she limped towards the door. Oh don't worry Hun, there's always me to talk to. An amused voice appeared in her head. "Oh. Joy. I'm hearing voices. Best. Day. Ever. Just shut up and let me concentrate on getting out, all right?" Lin paused, as she had just realized that she had actually replied to the voice. Shaking her head, she leaned on the door, it creaked slightly before giving out altogether and letting Lin fall to the floor gracelessly.
"As I have said earlier, best day ever." She sighed as she pushed herself up again and only sat cross legged on top of the door. Everything was either rotting and on the ground, or rotting and in the place it's supposed to be.
Lin remembered what Aperture used to look like, some kind of futuristic place that had one too many corny posters. Now, she noted, the place was in a state of disarray. I wouldn't expect this. Lin thought as she turned her head slowly, panning her surroundings...
