Seeing the guy from the day before, she smiled and gave a polite wave. Glancing down at his name tag, she finally got to know his name so it wouldn't be as awkward. "Oh! Umm ...Raven! Do you guys do to-go? I promised my friend I would would call her once I get to look at the menu! I'm sorry for being a bother!" Looking around, she saw that the place was packed to almost full complicity. Now she really felt bad for coming. In a way she was only adding to the workload. More people came in behind her and she stepped forward to make room for them. The place was too crowded and too loud. How could anyone handle this regularly? Elly missed the quiet of the flower shop now. Another couple people came in causing her to step forward again but she accidentally bumped into one of the people standing beside her. "Oops! Sorry!", She cringed stumbling away. Elly seemed to have lost her balance and flailed reaching out for anything that would keep her from falling.
Her hand grabbed someone's elbow but suddenly everything changed. It was silent in a way but her ears felt like they were full of something, maybe, water? Actually, even her vision was blurred now. Everything seemed murky, where..what happened? Everything was in a blue tent like she was in a pool. No, it was bigger than a pool. Was she underwater? How did that happen? This she gasped suddenly realizing that if this was water, she needed to get air. In reality, Elly's eyes looked wide and oddly bright. She blinked seeing the restaurant then in another blink of an eye the depths of a watery pool of some sort. Was she hallucinating? That had to be it, but why? Still holding on to someone, she tried to clear the fog in her head. She could hear people asking her is she was ok. Too many people. Too much noise. Elly needed out, she needed..air. It was like she was drowning, but she wasn't. Bits of her hallucination were sifting through. The people around her looked distorted like she was in a fish bowl looking out at them. Still having trouble breathing she coughed and spluttered. Do you need me to call an ambulance? Are you ok? She's going to faint. All these words made her feel like each voice was a body lying against her, smothering her. "I need air!" She cried, and with that gusts of powerful wind burst through the front door and open windows. It was like some sort of invisible serpents were causing table clothes, decorations and napkins to fly about. Everyone was so distracted by the havoc that Elly managed to regain her footing, let go of whoever she was clutching so tightly for support, then stumble out door still coughing and gasping.
Still very disoriented, her hand trailed along side of the wall of the restaurant as she shuffle around to the back. Her legs gave out due to lack of air and she fell to her knees in the lot behind the establishment. The same odd wind that had surged through the main dinning hall, seemed to escape and revolved around Elly for a moment. Her eyes began to glow brightly and she got her first clear breath of air. The wind died down shortly after she re-established a normal breathing pattern. Elly began to shakily look up. What the hell happened?
