(A/N) OK second chapter!
"NiGHTS! NIGHTS! OK he's gone. Figures he'd ditch me." I glumly said while walking trough what appeared to be a lush forest. After about ten minutes of searching, tripping, and swatting, I finally gave up and fell on a patch of grass. "Why me?" I asked a small nightopian. The pian chirped in response and fell on the grass next to me.
The two of us lay there for a while. I told the pian that I had to go and it flew off happily.Then...everything went black. All I remembered, was something hitting me from behind.
When I awoke, I was in the grasp of a large, gray hand. The more I squirmed, the more Wizeman squeezed. "Ple-ease l-let go." I managed to choke out. That just made Wizeman squeeze harder. My eyes got blurry and soon my cheeks were stained with tears. Just out of luck, In the corner of the room, I spotted a cage guarded by some fierce looking Nightmaren. Inside was the all familiar purple Nightmaren everyone loves.
"N-NiGHTS?" I stammered. He didn't open his eyes. In the corner of my eye, I saw the mime-like Nightmaren. Then Wizeman spoke.
"I will be willing to let him go if you turn over to Nightmare." I really had to think about this. If I didn't, NiGHTS could be gone. That wouldn't be good because if NiGHTS was gone, Wizeman could easily take over Nightopia and the waking world. If I did, well say goodbye to everything. Wizeman loosened his grip, allowing me to think more clearly.
"L-let NiGHTS go." I whispered. Reala walked up to me and held my chin up with his finger. His smile was creeping me out. "Giving up already? That's to bad. I was hoping for a fight."
I moved my face to the side, slapping Reala's hand away.
I grinned. "Who said I was giving up?" I spin kicked Wizeman's hand, making him let me go. I took a deep breath and raised my hand. A funnel of water gathered but I waited to fire it.
Wizeman growled. "REALA. DON'T LET HER ESCAPE.!" Good this is the chance I needed while Reala was distracted! I fired the water tornado at him and while he was stuck, flew over past the fierce looking Nightmaren (boy were they dumb) and by NiGHTS' cage I reached in and shook NiGHTS' shoulder.
"NiGHTS. NiGHTS! WAKE UP!!" He stirred but didn't open his eyes. I was getting frustrated and was running out of time. "WAKE UP!" I yelled one more time before splashing his face with water.
His eyes blinked before opening completely. "Sophie? What am I doing in a cage?" He questioned.
"No time!" I responded and used the surrounding water to rust up the cage bars. NiGHTS just pulled one of the bars off and flew out.
"I didn't appreciate the cold shoulder you gave me back there." A dark voice said from behind me. I yelped and ran behind NiGHTS. I really felt like a coward at the moment but I new what Reala was capable of.
NiGHTS set his arms out in a defensive position and sent a glare that made Reala grin. "Protecting the girl that has cost you so much trouble?" NiGHTS remained still but I thought I saw him trembling.
Quite sobs escaped my mouth and tears streamed down my face. "He's right NiGHTS. I've just caused trouble for you this whole time. Please don't get yourself in harms way! I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET HURT!"
I knelt on the floor and started sobbed harder. NiGHTS looked startled at my sudden outburst but continued to protect me. "Please NiGHTS." I whispered.
NiGHTS suddenly took off and charged at Reala with anger on his face. Now this startled me because I had never seen NiGHTS so angry. "Sophie! Escape while you have the chance!" NiGHTS yelled while he just managed to dodge Reala's sharp claws.
"But I can't just leave you here." Tears started falling again. NiGHTS managed to flash a smile at me and I new everything was going to be OK.
I created a water portal and hesitantly walked through it. I looked back and the last thing I was was Reala tearing NiGHT'S sleeve and NiGHTS flinching. The portal disappeared.
NiGHTS paralooped Reala and flew as fast as he could out of Wizeman's chamber. Many Nightmaren looked confused as he rushed past them. It was a good thing that Nightmare castle was so big cause' NiGHTS easily lost Reala here.
When NiGHTS finally found the exit, he immediately started to search for Sophie, hoping for the best.
I slowly blinked open my eyes and looked around. I was laying in a kind of orange red room with giant cards everywhere. I heard a loud cackle behind me and quickly spun around. There stood a figure...that had no body. Seriously! It was just a head, two hands, feet, and a large cape.
One look at his sharp tooth grin and I was backing up immediately. It reminded me of Reala. Reala. "Oh no NiGHTS!"
"How do you know about NiGHTS?" The figure asked in a strange high pitch voice. "He's...he's..." I tried to answer. I just shook my head and headed to the door. The demi-maren grabbed my collar and pulled me back.
"W-who are you?" I stumbled to ask. "Jackle." He simply replied. Jackle frowned. "You're the maren everyone had been looking for. Why are you here?" I frowned and stared at the ground. Please don't tell. I'm looking for someone." Jackle grinned and let go of my collar. I sent him a smile and flew out the large doors.
"Reala. There is more to the prophesy." Wizeman started. "Though The water Nightmaren is the strongest, she has four sisters and brothers that appear shortly after she does. They all have different elemental powers but her brother, he has the fire element, is the second strongest and with your help, will beat her. Find him!" Reala bowed and left the castle.
