Trouble with Stars

1)Disturbing Dreams

            A wind was sweeping through the night air, and Raye shivered. She looked up at the dark sky and wondered why on earth she was out here in the darkness, when she could be inside, comforted by the inner thoughts and wishes expressed through her dreams. She sighed and reached for a roll of parchment, with several strange figures drawn on it.

-That's why,- she thought, sighing irritably,- I'm supposed to be figuring out what that dream means, although it's been anything but comforting.-

Comforting didn't come close to what her dreams had been recently. Every night, when she thought it was safe to put her head down, to close her eyes, she experienced the same thing. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was drawn into a whirlwind of confusing shouts and colors. She recognized the voices of her friends, and realized they were in danger, but where they were and what they were in danger from, she did not know. A dark green light grew menacingly closer and closer to where she could hear her friends, but just as the light reached them, a shout came from her near left. This voice too, sounded familiar, but this was not the familiarity of her friends, this was a voice from a long forgotten past, a voice from long ago. It was masculine, and a sense of security flooded her when she heard it, but she could decipher no more from it. She always woke in a sweat, her heart beating, her sheets thrown, her cheeks warm.

Presently, a very frustrated and cold Raye picked up the parchment and started an incantation.

"Hani Sato Seoak poranisha kato."

She waited. Nothing happened. Raye swore angrily and threw the page down onto the slightly damp ground.

-Why isn't it working?-

 As a priestess, Raye had consulted the mystical arts before, always having faith in the higher powers of the ancient ways. She didn't always gain the response in the form that she wanted, but nonetheless, she almost always received some sort of clue.

-This makes no sense! I have always received some sort of answer. NOTHING!-

She wondered for a second if she shouldn't talk to her friends about this. Her friends would probably want to know what was going on anyways. In the past they had dealt with many apocalyptic dangers. Her dreams were premonistic when something dire was about to happen or she was emotionally upset. But nothing like that had happened for years now; and Raye was reluctant to upset her friends over a silly emotional dream. She didn't want to bother them if it turned out to be nothing. Amy was busy researching for her job, Lita was busy with her restaurant, Mina was training for the upcoming volleyball championships and Serena was busy moving in with Darien, so of course he wouldn't be free to talk either.

-Maybe I'll work on this tomorrow; I don't think the dream will come back since it's already bothered me once tonight.-

As Raye wandered slowly inside to her waiting bed, she looked around the grounds. Since her grandfather had died 5 years ago, the temple had been rather quiet. Chad still came to stay once in a while, and of course the girls always made the place lively, but Raye knew that something was missing. Safe in her bed, Raye lay awake in the dark thinking of a past conversation she once had with Serena.

-"Yeah, I have a lot of wishes for the future!"

"I want to spend my future with Darien. We already know that we are destined to be together…"

"I know Serena; you like to tell me that a lot…"

"No, but really, what are your wishes for the future? I mean, I know that you want to be a lot of things: a singer and all that, but really, what are your prospects for the future?"

"Well… if you really want to know. What I really want is to have a warm home, and a loving husband and maybe a couple of kids."-

Raye lay blushing in her bed, the conversation had been ages ago, but she still remembered the look of shock that Serena had given her. Somehow, ditzy, clumsy, crybaby Serena could always make Raye pour out her inner secrets and thoughts. Raye smiled, knowing how much she treasured her friendship with Serena, no matter how annoyed she got with her.

Staring into the dark, Raye grew angry with herself.

-And I had to drag my butt out of bed! That's probably what my dream is about, me and my stupid wishes for a cozy little future…-

Turning over in her bedroll, Raye finally fell asleep.
