At 10 o'clock PM, Dimitri was sitting on the hotel's bed. Bimka, his Samoyed that he had brought with him from apartment in Russia, was laying on the floor next to the bed. The hotel rules stated that pets were not to be allowed on the furniture unless they were non-shedding.<br/><br/>The news came on, and the news anchor talked about the supposed end of the world only two hours away and some kind of special they were running, to see if anything would change at midnight or whatever.<br/><br/>Dimitri didn't believe in such things. He hit the button on the remote to turn off the television and stretched himself out on the bed, putting his hands under his head as he stared up at the ceiling. He left one arm hang over the side and Bimka raised his head and gave his fingers a lick. "Well boy, I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Or what I should do until it gets here." He sighed out of boredom. Then, a thought struck him.<br/><br/>"I wonder what the streets of Rome look like at night," he thought aloud, as he pushed himself up with his arms and sat up cross-legged.<br/><br/>Bimka wagged his tail and looked up at his owner. Dimitri pushed himself off the bed so that he landed behind the Samoyed, and the movement alone was enough to excite the dog. He stood, wagging his tail more, his muscles bunched as if preparing to spring.<br/><br/>"Come on, boy. Who wants a walk?"<br/><br/>Bimka barked and ran over to the door on the other side of the room, his nose at the door knob as if it had a button that he could push to make the door open. Dimitri chuckled as he walked over to the door, pulling on a jean jacket. He opened it, and the large white dog darted out of the room and was halfway down the hall before Dimitri whispered him the command, "Oshtalavitz. Stop."<br/><br/>Bimka halted in his tracks and looked back at his owner, his head tilted downward as if he was afraid he was in trouble. However, Dimitri resumed walking and Bimka walked along side of him, matching his pace with his owner's.<br/><br/>After nearly an hour of walking, Dimitri looked around and he wasn't sure he'd be able to get back to the hotel. He was standing rather close to the ancient Rome Colosseum. Suddenly, a bright light flashed from within the Colosseum and Bimka began barking like crazy. It took several minutes for Dimitri to calm Bimka, after which he asked, "What just happened?"<br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/>Dani was camping out in the middle of the United Kingdom country side, not too far away from Stonehenge. She was awake, and anxious to know what tomorrow would bring. Danielle didn't know what to expect with the end of the Mayan calender and possibly the world. Her mind was racing, and her heart was pounding as she stared at the wall of her tent.<br/><br/>Suddenly, a flash of light filled the tent that appeared to have originated from Stonehenge. Dani darted out of the tent so quick that she tripped on the way out and fell face first to the ground, where she noticed that Stonehenge appeared to be fully restored. She laid there for barely a second before scrambling back to her feet, her composite bow in one hand, and an arrow from the other.<br/><br/>As she stood, Dani noticed a large shadow fall over her that blocked out the sun. Her heart beat jumped to her throat as she neared panic and she looked up at the sky. She could see something with large leathery wings that the moonlight could dimly shine through, showing the veins within the wings in stark relief. It was much too large to be a bat, and it circled over her like a vulture does upon finding food.<br/><br/>Dani tried to swallow past the lump in her throat. Her fear making her forget that she held a weapon in her hands, no matter how insignificant it might have been compared to the sheer size of the beast floating effortlessly above her.
