The Fallen

Chapter 1-Dreams Are Just Dreams Right?

Summary: Isabel was just a normal girl. All she had were her friends and her older brother, Dan. One day her life is turned upside down and now she has to live in the Naruto world. The people who once knew her wouldn't be able to recognize her the way she is now. Can she cope with this new change, losses, betrayal, and love?

Just something I thought up one day and wanted to actually put it down on computer. It'll be slow because it's introduction but it will get good around the sixth chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just the OCs.

Isabel's PoV

Screaming rang through my ears. The voices were clashing and the words weren't even near clear. When I heard actual words I opened my eyes and all I saw was darkness. I spun around trying to look for the source of the voices. That's what they were: voices and that's that. I caught all of the words and with every word, pain shot through me.

"Don't die on me just yet."

"Why did he have to die! It should have been me…"

"Foolish thinking."

"Don't give up!"

"Who did this to you?"

"I thought…"

"And to think you were-"

"What do you mean?"

"Believe it!"

"Let me go?"

"I believe in words not deeds."

"Well, she's a bit spirited."

"Maybe it wasn't meant to be."

"Good-bye."

"No…"

"Never again."

"You've always been loyal."

"Spirited one we came across eh?"

"I'll take that as a no."

"Hikari!"

"Isabel!"

Xxxxx

"Isabel!" someone hissed shaking me.

"Five more minutes, yo," I protested. I rolled to one side. All I felt was air and next, the floor. Snapping my eyes open I heard roarings of laughter all around me. This is so not my day, yet again.

"Isabel would you stop sleeping in class," my teacher snapped. "You were one of my best students and you still are, but you're hardly paying attention."

"But I'm passing aren't I?" I asked annoyed. Personally, I don't care about my grades as long as I'm passing. "I'm just restless at night."

The teacher just stared at me. Ha, I've been here for half a year and I still don't know what all my teacher's names are. Everyone was staring at me with pity, since I was dropping down low. Somehow I went from low, to everyone knowing my name. I sighed and got up off the floor and stood up. When the bell rang, I dashed for the door.

"Good thing I don't like bringing my things with me," I muttered. I kicked open my locker which only worked for me and grabbed my backpack.

"Izzy wait up!" I heard one of my friends, Skira yell. I'm so not going to wait and be in for another lecture. All I did was wave and started running through the halls.

This is not my greatest feat in the world but hey, it works for me. I really don't need all of this right now. Suddenly, I bumped into someone and fell backwards. Looking up I saw my friend, Geoff.

"Why don't you just tell her?" he asked.

"Because she won't listen to what I say," I snapped getting up. "All she does is rant on and on. It gets annoying actually." I turned back and saw her running towards me. "Sorry but I have to run. See ya later, Jersey Boy!"

Geoff just shook his head as I ran off. I always call him that when he wears a jersey. Usually, I would have stayed and talked to him, but now I'm a fugitive, running away from a lecture. Oh the joy of my life. When I was out of the door I slowed down a bit. Skira and her sister, Akira, have to take the bus. I almost screamed out my joy.

"Thanks for waiting," Geoff said behind me. "By the looks of this you forgot that we live right by each other."

I started to laugh a bit and slowed down to a walk. "Just needed to get away from Skira," I said. "She gets on my nerves when it's lecture time."

Geoff looked at me with sympathy. "All of us hate it when she does that," he pointed out.

"Yeah but she's been giving me these lectures," I said. "You know about how I need to sleep more. But these dreams are keeping me awake."

"What are they about?" Geoff asked.

I paused for a moment. "Usually, they're just words that are being said by different people," I explained after awhile. "Some I recognize but I can't place them. My dreams are like a puzzle that's missing a whole bunch of pieces. Then again dreams are just dreams, right?"

Geoff looked at me for a moment. "Well some dreams we have for a reason. Maybe they're supposed to show you something," he suggested.

"Since when were you this smart?" I questioned.

"That's it," Geoff threatened. I laughed and started to run away. "Get back here!"

Risking a glance, I saw that he was majorly pissed. "Not on your life!" I shouted back.

Both of us have been friends since the fourth grade. I was short then and I still am. He's tall and he still is. We always love to joke around and have our fun in class, and I tell him everything. Once, we tried to go out with each other but it didn't work out, so we decided to stay best friends. You can say we're like brother and sister. Everyone knows us as the 'Mischievous Duo'. You can guess why for many reasons.

"Hey remember when I saved you when we played that one prank!" I yelled.

"That was only once!" Geoff protested. Whoa, almost got me by the leg there.

When I was nearing the neighborhood I sped up towards my house and got out my keys. Soon, I was there and was fumbling with my keys. Where's Dan when you need him?! Then, the door opened and fell through. I yelped and saw my big brother, Dan, looked at me, quizzically. All I did was cock my head towards Geoff who was nearly here.

"Oh," Dan said. He waited for me to get out of the way before closing the door.

WAM! "That outta hurt!" I yelled.

"You are so dead!" Geoff yelled.

I checked myself over. "I don't see myself dying!" I shouted back.

He paused for awhile and I heard him sigh. "See you tomorrow Spirit," Geoff called. He knows I hate that nickname. "Remember what I said."

I sighed and Dan was just shaking my head. Dan's my twenty-one year old brother. Our parents were killed somehow, and all of our other relatives seemed to have disappeared, without a trace. So, we're left alone in a small townhouse. Everyone knows about it, but I got over it, eventually.

"How was school?" Dan asked as I got up.

"I fell asleep again during last block," I muttered.

"Isabel, are you getting enough sleep?" he asked. "You've been a bit off lately."

"Just dreams Dan," I replied. "Nothing much to worry about."

Dan looked me over a bit and seem satisfied with the answer. "Okay if you say so. I'm off to work now. There's some stuff in the fridge so help yourself."

I nodded and watched as he walked through the door. He's been working in the mornings and afternoons. Somehow he never seems tired, and that always confused me. I would have just called out something but something stopped me. There was a feeling of this being the last time I'd ever see him. I'm usually wrong and I sure hoped so I was wrong right now.

When I closed the door my mind wandered the dreams. What Geoff said seemed to confirm something I didn't want to admit: these dreams were telling me something. I shook my head. All I dreamt about were people I knew and didn't know screaming out words. Something inside of my stirred.

"I heard my voice in there," I whispered.

I shrugged that off. Dreams are just that: dreams.

Wow nothing to say here.
