It was a quiet morning near the western border. A lone female figure stood watching the sunrise. She had beautiful waist length hair the color of silver frost and eyes the color of dark shining sapphires. She had been in deep thought about the upcoming day when a loud "THUNK" was heard about a hundred feet behind her. She quietly turned and made her way back to the cold makeshift camp her sister and she had made for the night.
"Ouch…Stupid tree, stupid nightmares. I've had just about enough of them. Lousy good for nothin', no good… *Grumble* Where did Asuna go?"
The young girl that fell out of the tree looked around camp until she spotted her sister walking back to the camp site after keeping watch. "Oh there you are."
"Calkie, did you fall off your perch because of another bad dream again?" Asuna asked her sister.
She looked at Calkie with concern as she rubbed her backside in discomfort.
Calkie looked at Asuna with dismay. "I thought you didn't know about them. I was trying to hide it."
Asuna looked at Calkie for a moment. She didn't blame her for having the nightmares. "I have known for a short time. What are they about?"
Calkie looked straight into Asuna's eyes. Asuna was serious for her eyes were staring into her bright emerald green ones. Her sister had that look telling her that her sapphire ones could read the very soul of her emerald ones. She sighed then pulled a hand through her fuchsia colored bang back to her shoulder length onyx colored hair. "Well…I want you to swear that that you won't say anything to anyone. OK sis'. Don't tell Selphi or Nisha. Will you promise?"
Asuna gave her You-Know-I-Won't look.
"Sis, you have to swear or I won't tell you."
Her sister finally gave in. "Fine I swear never to tell another living soul of the dreams you have. If I do, I will die a merciless death by your hands." Asuna crossed her hand over her heart. Then gave her sister another look telling Calkie she wouldn't tell.
Calkie stared at her sister for a moment, processing all that she had sworn. A few minutes passed and Calkie decided that this was good enough, because she would hold her to it. All except for the Death by her hand bit. She knew full well that she couldn't kill if her life depended on it.
"Alright, my dream starts off with you and me walking down the road. We had been walking a quite a while, so we stopped and took a rest on the side of the road. I realized that the sun was setting when it was mid-morning a few minutes ago. I turn to talk to you but you disappeared. I got up and started calling your name in hopes that you would answer me. The search last until about ten feet from where we were resting. Someone grabbed me from behind and held me there. I tried to get away from my assailant only to find that his grip was strong enough to keep me from getting away. I get to the point where I can't breathe because I'm struggling so hard. That's the point where I woke up…. I still can't believe that I fell out of that tree."
Asuna thought about the dream for a moment. During this time they were cleaning up their camp and Calkie had put Asuna's blanket in the pack they shared. She had put it on and turned to her sister. Asuna was about to give her answer to her sisters dream when a loud crash echoed through the forest. Asuna was the first to question the noise. "What was that?" Another crash came and drove their curiosity wild. Both girls looked at each other and nodding their agreement, went to go and investigate. They started out when a very loud **Dammit** echoed the answer to their question.
