Ok, someone asked me in a review if there was going to be a sequel. Well, I actually came up with an idea for a sequel... so I'm going to write it! Here is the first chapter of:
'Here We Go Again- The Curse'
NiGHTS yawned and stretched in her mates arms. The room she rested in was an odd cross between elegant and darkness. To suite both her and her loves tastes. The floor was a dark wood, the walls were a reddish purple. All the furniture was made of the same wood and cloth that matched the walls. There were some lounge chairs, a table, an entire wall dedicated to maps and charts, The bookcase was filled with a variety of books including 'The Art Of War' and 'The little Mermaid' (you can tell which belong to who?) It suited her and her mate perfectly, speaking of her mate.
She and Reala had been mates for three years. Wiseman had married the two a week after Malice's defeat. It had been the best day NiGHTS could remember... until Jackle got into the wedding cake.
NiGHTS giggled at the memory.
The giggling woke Reala up.
"What's so amusing?" Reala asked NiGHTS as he sat up in the bed.
"Nothing." NiGHTS said playfully.
"Nothing?" Reala asked. "You don't laugh at nothing... only Jackle and Bubbals do that. Now what is it?"
NiGHTS decided to let Reala in.
"Remember the day we became mates?" NiGHTS asked.
Reala nodded his head.
"Remember the cake?" NiGHTS went on.
"Ah." Reala complained. "I liked that cake."
NiGHTS shrugged playfully.
"We better get going." Reala said, putting on his persona.
NiGHTS nodded and took off into the air. She had been given a persona; it was gold with blue feathers. But she only wore it on special occasions. Nobody had a problem with it.
"Coming?" Reala questioned.
"Nope." NiGHTS said sitting back down on the bed.
Reala's eyes went wide, and then he remembered why NiGHTS wasn't being cooperative. Reala flew over and gave NiGHTS a kiss on the lips.
"Better?" Reala questioned flying in front of NiGHTS.
"Much." NiGHTS said satisfied. She allowed Reala to pull her into the air. "Anything in particular we have to do today?"
"Not much, nothing really to do since the war is over." Reala said. NiGHTS nodded her head happily.
Wiseman had been very close to victory, the nightmaren had been at the Dream gate... when Wiseman discovered that taking over Nightopia would tip the balance and throw him and all of Nightmare into chaos. He came to an agreement with Owl, the bird who looks after the nightopians. The deal was simple:
Wiseman wouldn't evade Nightopia; The Nightmaren would be allowed to take one or two ideya from each visitor the found.
It was working so far. The Owl had apparently known NiGHTS. Reala and Wiseman had had to sit him down and explain her memory loss. The Owl had accepted it after awhile, but another part of the agreement was NiGHTS could come to Nightopia whenever she wished.
Speaking of which.
"Could we go to Nightopia?" NiGHTS asked.
"Of course." Reala said grabbing NiGHTS's hand. He didn't mind going to Nightopia, it made NiGHTS happy... and he didn't mind some of the world dreamers created.
"Which one should we go to?" NiGHTS asked. "You choose."
"Oh...uh..." Reala thought for a minute. "What about Frost Forest?"
"Perfect!" NiGHTS said happily. "But this time, let's bring a blanket."
Reala laughed; embarrassed at the first time the two had gone to the freezing Nightopia. Neither of them had been able to get out of bed for a week with the severe colds they both had gotten.
"Maybe you should bring two!"
Reala and NiGHTS whirled around to find themselves facing Jackle.
"Jackle!" NiGHTS shouted happily. He was still one of her best friends... despite the crazy pranks he pulled on the nightmaren, including her and Reala.
"Hey NiGHTS!" Jackle said as NiGHTS flew in for a hug. "What'd you two lovebirds do last night?"
Reala glared angrily at the invisible being.
"Jackle." Reala said darkly. "Get out!"
"See ya!" Jackle said insanely as he flew out the door.
NiGHTS rolled her eyes as Reala growled at the orange nightmaren.
"God he's annoying!" Reala said angrily as he flopped down on a lounge chair.
"He's still your best friend." NiGHTS said settling down beside Reala, resting her head and hand on his muscular chest.
"Guess you're right." Reala said placing his arm around NiGHTS.
The pair laid there for a few minutes before Reala rose into the air.
"We'd better go; otherwise we won't make it back for tonight." Reala reminded.
"Oh right." NiGHTS said, remembering the night's festivities.
Ever since Malice's defeat, Wiseman held a celebration every year to the day. It helped relax all the 'maren. And as the nightmaren who defeated Malice; NiGHTS, Reala and Jackle were the guests of honour.
"It's a pain!" NiGHTS said angrily. She hated this day. This is the day she almost was taken away from Reala! She nearly died... and that would have separated the two. She hated Malice and everything about this day reminded her of that menace.
Reala saw NiGHTS was very upset. He sighed and flew down and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a hug. NiGHTS sat curled up on Reala's lap and allowed herself to relax.
"I'm good now." NiGHTS said after a while. She looked lovingly into Reala's eyes. "Thank you."
"I understand." Reala said sadly. He hated this day too, he had nearly lost NiGHTS.
"Well, shall we go?" NiGHTS asked flying into the air.
Reala smiled and took off into the air after NiGHTS. The pair flew to the door when Reala suddenly stopped. He quickly flew back and picked up a spare blanket from the bed.
"Good remembering." NiGHTS said.
"I'd sooner face Malice again then catch a Frost Forest cold." Reala said sarcastically.
