Chapter 1: The dream
She wakes up in a prison, having no idea of what was occurring. All she can remember was sneaking into Cyclonia's palace, and then blacking out. Suddenly, the door opens with a creak, and a figure steps through. She glances at the figure, trying to figure out who the person might be. The figure begins to speak in calm yet chilling tone, "So, you've actually managed to get yourself captured; I must say I am surprised."
The person approaches the prisoner as he continues to speak. "I always thought that you were the clever type, but I assumed wrongly. Now, nothing will be done to you if you choose to cooperate with me; in fact, I might even spare your live."
The prisoner finally has the courage to speak up, "Dark Ace, you must be a fool to believe that I would ever cooperate with you. You may have captured me easily, but getting information out of me will not be as easy!" To her surprise, Dark Ace grins. "What makes you say I require information? But since you are unwilling to work", he said with ease, "this might persuade you!" He makes a motion, and the door opens. The prisoner peers outside to see that there is a courtyard in front of the prison. She makes out five figures in the distance. All of a sudden, she recognizes them as her teammates. To make matters worst, they were surrounded by Cyclonians with no weapons at all.
With fear, the prisoner pleads, "Please, don't do anything to them! I beg of you; please release them." Dark Ace's grin widens more as he watches the girl weep. "Not until you give me what I want." "What is it that you want?" the girl asks fearing she knew the answer already. The man comes closer to the girl until their cheeks are touching. "You" he whispers into her ear.
Piper woke up gasping for air. Looking around, she realized that she was still on the Condor, safely away from any enemies. Taking a deep breath, she got up from her cot and went to the cockpit. Quietly so that she wouldn't wake anyone up, she checks on the location of the ship with the navigation tools. A few minutes later, the girl releases the breath she had been holding; the ship was just a few miles from Atmosia, far from Terra Cyclonia.
Walking back to her room, Piper pondered her nightmare. I can't believe this the third time this week I have been having these nightmares! Could this mean something, or am I stressed out? Sitting down on her desk, the navigator examines herself in the mirror. With her blackish-blue hair messy and her orange eyes weary, Piper realized that her health was going downhill. Her normally dark skin was starting to get lighter, and she was losing weight.
She decided to try to get some sleep since dawn wouldn't be for another three hours. Laying her body on the cot, she couldn't help but wonder if her team had noticed the changes. I would believe by now that at least one person would have noticed; maybe they are just as stressed out as I am. We have been working diligently, so perhaps they are too worn out to notice. But still, Aerrow is the observant type…maybe he's keeping quiet. With these thoughts, the girl easily fell into a peaceful slumber.
I know this is a short chapter, but I can't think what should happen next!
Please review; I am open for suggestions!
