Tori was in her room lying on her back, waiting for her to fall asleep, but she couldn't. Something is keeping her awake, but she knows that it's not anything ordinary.
Suddenly, a bell chimed. After she heard a few ding-dongs of the bell, her eyes closed. After a few moments, a girl who was only about 12 years old came into sight.
The girl said, "You will meet me on the 20th of March, when the new students arrive. I will be the one who is going to be sent to the Thunder Ninja Academy that day, because I'm too good among the students at the Wind Ninja Academy. Let me stay. Do as I say for this is the right decision for you to make. You'll know later why it's right. Wake up, it's 6.00 am. Wake up," finishes the girl.
Tori opened her eyes and sucked in a mouthful of air. She couldn't believe it. The girl spoke clearly, and so firmly. "Don't worry, Tori. Stay calm. This is just a dream," said Tori trying to calm herself down. "I was dreaming. I was dreaming," said Tori as she walks out of her room.
On the training grounds, while Tori was together with Shane and Dustin, she planned on telling her friends about the dream, and just when she was about to start, she said, "Shane, are you students training well?" Something was stopping her. She couldn't spit out the words to build a sentence for the dream.
"Yeah, but I don't think I will be able to handle them after the new students arrive," answered Shane.
Dustin broke in, "How about you? You seem a little pale."
"No worries. I'm fine," replied Tori with a smile.
In the meeting room…
"3 more days, only 3 more days left for the new students to be here. I hope you're all prepared," said Sensei Cam.
While the other teachers gave ideas about how the students should be sorted out, Tori sat there, like a statue, not moving at all.
"Tori, what do you think?" Cam asked.
"Oh, the same idea as Yakiyo, the second instructor," answered Tori. She had nothing to say. She just kept thinking about the white girl in her dream.
