A/N: Ok well here's another story and this time it's not about Jason. It's about Merrick, who is another one of my favorite characters and one of my imaginary friends. Ok I actually thought of this in less than a day…. which I'm so excited about because as I said before it takes me forever to come up with a story line. Anyways I hope you like this story…. Please review.

Chapter 1

'Where am I … How did I get here,' Merrick thought as he stood in an open field. 'This place it looks so fami-… wait… I know this place… but… oh can this be? I can't be here… this is where it happened.' He looked around at all the people picking grain and putting it in their baskets. He watched as little kids chased each other through the paths in the field.

"Merrick," said a soft voice.

Merrick turned to see where the voice came from but when he turned around no one was there.

"Merrick," the voice said again, only this time a little louder.

Once again Merrick turned around to see where the voice was coming from but this time he saw someone. He saw a man standing next to a little boy yelling at him. The man turned to Merrick and glared at him. Merrick's eyes went wide with fear.

"Merrick," the voice said again, "Merrick, are you ok?"

"What," Merrick said almost falling out of the chair he was sitting in.

"Are you ok?" Alyssa asked him.

"I'm fine… I was just-," Merrick stopped when he noticed that the rest of the rangers were staring at him, with confused looks on their faces. "What? What did I do?"

"Merrick, did you hear anything I said?" Princess Shayla asked.

"Of course princess," Merrick quickly lied.

"If you were listening," The blue shark wild force ranger, Max, said. "What did just say?"

Merrick looked at him, then to Princess Shayla with apologetic eyes, and then to the ground.

'The truth is you weren't listening,' said a deep voice. Merrick looked up from the ground and stared at the other rangers.

"What did you just say?" Merrick asked staring the others.

"We didn't say anything Merrick. What's wrong?" Princess Shayla asked with worry.

'You were too caught up in your own daydreams to even care about what your princess had to say. Just like you did all those years ago.'

"No," Merrick said in a whisper.

"Merrick, are you ok?" Princess Shayla asked again.

Merrick didn't answer, he that far away look on his face again. Once again Merrick was standing in the middle of the field, but this time no one was there. It was dark out, dark enough for a normal human not being able to see where they were stepping, but Merrick could see almost everything. He began to walk, and he came to a road and turned right. Not even thinking of where he was going he walked down the road into the town. There were dirty, run down houses on both sides of the street. As he continued walking he saw an old restaurant with a sign hanging on top of the door. He could see a light in the distance; walking towards it he realized it wasn't just one light. It looked as if a thousand lights were on in the same place, and it looked like a palace. He walked towards the gates as a boy entered them. Merrick followed the boy inside, also realizing that the guard had not seen him. He followed the boy to an old run down house inside the palace walls. He never entered the house but just stared through the window. There was a woman there with a girl about the same height as the boy. Just then he heard a noise coming from behind him. He turned around only to see another man walking towards the house, he entered the door. Merrick turned back to the window as the oldest man walked towards the younger. The man started to yell at the boy as Merrick started to hear someone calling his name mixed with the whispering.

"Merrick."

'You know what's happening Merrick… you can't hides from it… you know that…. It will always be there… the fear will eat you alive.'

"Come on Merrick snap out of it."

Taylor was over by Merrick watching as Princess Shayla shook him. When Merrick finally came to his face had fear written all over it. He looked at the princess with fear in his eyes as the whispering started again.

'The fear will destroy you… no matter what you do… you can't hide from it.'
