was it only just a dream?

She felt like she could barely move as she slowly regained consciousness. Her lungs burned and her leg hurt. She wasn’t actively bleeding but the open wound was red and irritated. Not as bad as a broken leg, but if it didn’t get cleaned up and seen to it could get infected. Had the large burn not been there Venom would have thought the entire experience had been some strange dream. Wolves coming out of the mist, secret lava filled rooms, and falling into the red hot depths…

Venom startled herself the rest of the way into consciousness, realizing she was laying on the border of the redwater rocks and the oasis itself. She would have whined in pain had her throat not been so raw. She lay her head back down, unwilling to move as she just tried to catch her breath and figure out what had happened. Already the memories were growing foggy, like it really had only been some kind of dream.
