The Truth

Chapter 1- Dream and Worry

It was all burning, everything was burning. The small 1800 looking town was burning. All the homes were burning in the red evil of the flames. The red flames killed everything that came to close to it. In the middle of the town was a baby, covered in a blood red blanket, crying as loud as it could. Next to the crying child was a woman. She looked to be in her early 20's. Her long light brown hair was covering her face. She was covered in residue and blood. Her arm was around the child, like she was trying to protect the child from the fire.

"Jaden!"

Jaden rolled off of the bed he was on and landed, face first, on the frosty, tough, wooden floor of the Slifer Dorm. Jaden looked up to see Hassleberry and Syrus, both with worry looks.

"What up? What time is it?" Jaden said, as he was getting up. Jaden started looking for a clock.

"It's 12:30 A.M. and you started screaming, like something was hurt you really bad. For about an hour. We couldn't get you up so we called the others. Then you just stopped." Syrus said as he sat on Jaden's bed.

Knock Knock Knock

"Come in soldiers!" Hassleberry yelled at the door. Then the door opened and everyone in their group of friends came in. Everyone was in their P.J.'s.

"Is Jaden alright?" Alexis and Jesse said at the same time. Everyone looked at were Jaden was standing. Alexis calmed down, after seeing Jaden alright. But all Alexis wanted to do was hug Jaden.

"Jaden's up and fine, so why'd you call so us?" Jim asked kind of yelled, pissed and tired at the same time.

"Hey soldiers don't get mad at us. He woke up just a little while ago." Hassleberry said trying to not make Jim madder.

"Hey! Hey! Come on guys. That's not fight."Jesse said, putting himself in-between them.

"Jess? Why would you say that there about to fight?" Jaden asked while his head when to the left said, to look at Jesse and show his confusion. Everyone in the room, but Jaden, froze.

"Well….You….ah…um….."Jim started to say.

"Well you see Jaden, Jim gets mad really easy when he hasn't had a fall night's sleep. So I was just worried that Jim might start a fight."Jesse said to Jaden.

"Well it's getting late everyone. We better get back to our dorms, before it gets too late."Bastion said to everyone and started to walk out the door. Everyone but Alexis, Jesse, Hassleberry, Syrus and Jaden, started to run out the door.

"Well that was strange."Jaden said out loud.

"I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone's strange once in awhile." Syrus said to Jaden.

"….Ah…Yeah I guess you're right." Jaden said while thinking about it.

"But Bastion right, it is getting late." Alexis said.

"Yeah, guess we should get going. See you guys in a few hours." Jesse said as he and Alexis started to walk out the door. Syrus looked at Hassleberry and Hassleberry looked at him. They nodded once and turned to look at Jaden.

"Alright time for bed soldiers, time for bed!" Hassleberry yelled and hoped in bed.

"~sigh~ for once he's right. Night J." Syrus said going into his own bed.

"…Night guys." Jaden said looking out the window to see a half moon.

-10 minutes later-

Jaden was on the beach. He was sitting there looking out to the water. He couldn't go back to sleep, so he was hoping a little air will help. He was thinking of all his friends. Jaden feels like something bad is about to happen. And he feels like what's ever wrong will change his life forever.

"What's coming?"

-Unknown pov.-

He's close. I can feel him. Wait…..what's this? So many of them at that one place. Did they find him first? No, they don't know he's there. She did so good in hiding him, but her magic is running out. And when it's all out he has to make a choice.

"My people go to Duel Academy!" I yelled form were I sat.
