'Where am I?' Amaya thought to herself when she realized she wasn't in her bed anymore. She was in a small room filled with plants, posters, and a pile of paper on a small wooden desk. The sun light filtered through the curtains of a small window, making the dull room a soft gold. "Ugh, what happened? And why am I on the floor?" Suddenly there was loud footsteps coming down a narrow hallway towards her room.
"Amaya?" A man called out, sounding as though he's been looking for her. He then lightly knocked on her door and waited. Amaya was to dumb founded to get up and open the door, not knowing what she'll find. The door slowly opened, standing before her, was a tall man, with red hair pulled back, and he was wearing a strange black kimono. "Amaya?" The second Amaya looked at his face she knew who he was, although she's never met him before in her life.
"Over here!" Amaya called, quickly getting off the floor.
"Amaya, what are you doing here? We have a mission in the world of the living, and I can't have you sleeping all day!"
"Sorry Renji, I don't know what happened." Amaya rubbed her eyes tiredly, looking around in wonder. 'How do I know Renji, but not know where I am?' Suddenly there was another voice, an older girl calling out her name.
"Amaya? Amaya?" Everything started getting cloudy, then the room went black. "AMAYA!" Amaya's eyes flew open, only to find her annoying older sister Akira.
"Akira! What do you think you're doing?"
"Sorry, but mom said I had to wake you up!" Akira said in a mocking, sing song voice.
"What for?" She asked feeling annoyed, also tempted to go back to sleep.
"Duh, to plan my 17th birthday party! You didn't forget did you?" Amaya's eyes widened. 'Oh God, I did forget her birthday! Ha, some sister I am.'
"No, of course not!" She lied smoothly.
"Good." She eyed her suspiciously. "Well get up because we have to go to the party store." Amaya sighed. 'Can't they go without me?' She thought, imagining the horror of having to go shopping with her hyper sister, and her strict mother.
"Fine, leave so I can get ready." She said in defeat. Akira smiled when she left, her brown hair following behind. I sighed again.
'She's so beautiful.' Amaya thought in envy as she walked over to her blue, wooden closet. She put on a pair of jeans, a green T-shirt with a large, yellow peace sign on it, and a plain white jacket.
"Man, why does Akira have to make such a big fuss about her birthday? Amaya complained while brushing her hair.
"Amya hurry up or we'll leave without you!" Akira called, impatient as ever.
'Please!' She thought to herself.
"Okay I'm coming!" She called down the small hallway by her room. When Amaya was sure everything was on right, she quickly stepped out of the room, and saw Akira and her mom waiting.
"We're going to be late, let's go." Her mom said, as if going to the store was an inconvenience to her. On the way to the party store Amaya kept thinking about her dream.
'It was so real, I felt the wooden floor and everything. I hope I don't have that dream again tonight, although I really am curious about it.' The ride was almost silent, except Akira kept talking about guest lists, and music, ect. Amaya finally managed to tune her out, and they made it to Party city. Akira excitedly got out of the car, her mother sighed, probably dreading the trip just as much as she did.
"Coming in Amaya?" Akira asked hurriedly. 'Ugh, the last thing I want to do is go shopping with Akira.' Amaya thought in horror.
"No thanks, I'll just hang out in here."
"Okay" Akira said in a tone like she was going to be disappointed.
'trust me I won't.' Just when Akira and her mother were out of sight,her favorite song was on the radio; can't stop the rain, by Cascada. Amaya eagerly turned up the volume and lied back against the seat, letting her eyes close. Just when she thought she was going to fall asleep, a deafening roar echoed through the busy parking lot.
'I don't know what it is but it sounds horrible!' Amaya thought, tempted to cover her ears. Instead, she turned up the volume and ignored it. The roaring soon stopped, and she sighed in relief. Suddenly there was a loud crash. Amaya whipped her head to the side, and saw the tan car right next to her was destroyed. Amaya desperately looked around for the whoever caused the accident. She then found a huge blue monster with a white mask, yellow eyes, and it long claws for fingers. It was most horrid thing she has ever seen. The monster spotted Amaya and began walking towards her. Amaya then woke up straight as a pole, screaming like she was being murdered. She quickly put her hand over her mouth, and made sure no one heard her. She looked around and saw that everything looked as it did before.
"Good, it was just a dream." She said sighed as she fell back against the seat. Amaya looked at the time, and saw she was only sleeping for half an hour. Out of nowhere, the horrid roar resounded , and she heard the car by hers get demolished. Amaya looked around and found the monster again, blue skin, white mask, yellow eyes gleaming, long clawed hands swinging, destroying any cars in it's path. The monster again came straight towards her!
"It was just a dream...right?"
