A/N: Hello, this is my first story that is being co-written with my sister GinnyBloomPotter. Thank you to my brother, Joshua (sorry, he doesn't have a fanfiction account) for the original idea.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Emily flew backwards from the force of the nighlock's blow and hit the ground, demorphed. She stared up into the face of her adversary, not with fear, not with hate, but with sadness.

You see, the nighlock was her sister, in a monstrous new form.

Her previously blonde hair had darkened to a blood red, her lips were bright red, her eyes were a soulless black, and her skin had become a ghostly white, which contrasted greatly with her outfit, which consisted of a skintight black leotard with armor on the shoulder, a red cape, and red stiletto boots, except instead of the heels, there were knives. A thick, golden belt with a giant ruby gem directly in the center adorned her waist. Double swords crisscrossed across her back and a silver scythe hung at her hip.

Despite all of these changes, she still looked the same. Emily could still recognize her as her sister because all of her features remained the same.

Which made fighting her all the more difficult.

Serena stared down at her sister, a feral smile gracing her lips, revealing bright white fangs that gleamed wickedly in the moonlight. A small part of her wondered if she should be scared of her proud reaction to the fear in Emily's eyes. That thought was quickly pushed aside. Why would she care? She was no longer human.

"Serena, don't do this. This isn't you!" Emily said, desperately trying to call out to that small part of her sister that was still human.

Serena gave a vicious, evil laugh. "My name isn't Serena anymore."

With that, she drew her scythe from its sheath at her waist and started to strike. The blade was getting closer and closer to Emily's throat… only three inches away now… two… one…

I shot straight up in bed, breathing hard, and bumped my head into Mike's.

"Mike?" I questioned, looking down at him on the floor in annoyance.

"Wow you have a hard head." He replied, rubbing his forehead. "You know you talk in your sleep?"

"Well, I'm not usually awake to hear myself talk when I'm asleep…"

"Haha, very funny. You okay? It sounded like you were having a nightmare." Mike stood up from the floor and sat on my bed.

"Yeah, I was. I'm okay, just…"

"Freaked out?"

"Pretty much."

"Well, what was it about?"

I was confused for a second. "What was what about?"

"The nightmare."

I bit my lip. Something in my gut told me not to tell him. So I didn't.

"I'm not sure. I can't even remember it anymore." I told him. I felt bad about lying, but I wasn't comfortable telling Mike about Serena. I wasn't ready to tell him.

"Well, okay…" he replied slowly. He stood up and straightened his belt. "Well, Jayden said to tell you to hurry up and get dressed. Training's in 5." He walked out of the room.

I got out of bed and stood, preparing to face the day. I didn't give my nightmare a second thought.

Little did I know that this was no ordinary nightmare.
