Chapter 2 – Dreams
Endless Darkness. That's where she is. At least that's what she thought she is, waking up in a strange place to begin with. To say that everything around her was as quiet as can possible be, was an understatement. The pit pattering of her footsteps can be heard at the endless black abyss surrounding her. Her blonde hair swaying every time she took a step forward and her nightgown flowing at the non-existent winds.
"Hello?" said the blonde, her voice echoing around her. She looked left and right, up and down but, there was nothing except for a dim purple light that can be seen at the direction she's going.
"If this is one of those times that I had to eat too much sugarritos before passing out, I totally did NOT regret it!" shouted by the blonde as she was responded again with the quietness of her new surroundings.
'Well, this is strange. Where in Mewni, am I?', she thought as she continued walking towards the purple light.
"HELP!"
The blonde froze as she heard it. She frantically swayed her head left and right to search for the voice. It sounded desperate, she thought as she started running.
"HELP! HE'S TAKING MY AMULET!"
Amulet? The blonde then turn towards the purple light that was practically glowing even brighter now. She sprints towards it before shouting, "Don't worry! I'll come for you!"
She kept running when finally, she got to her destination. She was now 5 feet away from a large shadow holding a small purple clad girl by her throat with its claw and holding a pink amulet on the other. 'Strange… I can't see her face', she thought as she pulled out her wand and glared at the giant shadow.
"Put the girl down! If you know what's good for you!" she said as her wand was powering up.
The giant shadow pause at what it's doing and focused its attention towards the blonde girl. It dropped the girl that it was previously holding and advances towards the other one.
"Narwhal Blast!" shouted the blonde as her wand shots out tiny angry narwhals at its direction.
The shadow responded by dodging and even nonchalantly batted away the narwhals with its claws.
The blonde gaped at her enemy as it advances forward. She frowned and jumped in to the air, "Chrystal Dagger Heart Attack!" she declared as the wand shot out broken hearts at a light speed.
The shadow then used its claws as a shield before jumping in to the air. The blonde wasn't able to calculate everything in time when she was knocked out in midair and landed in a heap on the cold hard ground. "Gah!"
"Stop! Please, stop hurting anyone!" plead by the purple clad girl.
The blonde started to get up and had to stifle a hiss when she noticed that she had a mild gnash on her side. She growled at the shadow when it loomed over her. She was about cast another spell when she paused. 'Where's my wand?' she thought in horror.
"Oh? Are you looking for this?"
The blonde looked up and saw her wand in the shadow's clutches along with a pink amulet that, she's guessing, must belong to the other girl. She rose in to her full height and sent a look of daggers at her enemy.
"How nice of you girls to hand out these lovely items. You used them quite pathetically. I mean really, a girl who only depended on the protection from a piece of jewelry and a girl that can't even wave a stick right at her opponent" said the shadow quite bitterly as it tightened its grip on the items it now possesses.
'I don't think so' thought by the blonde as she tries to concentrate in to transforming into her mewberty form.
She clenched her eyes shut as she waited. She opened her eyes again, expecting a pair of butterfly wings and extra limbs to come out of her body but, there was none. She was still in her normal form much to her bewilderment. 'What? W-why can't I transform?' she thought as she tried to concentrate in to transforming again.
"It is futile darling blondie" the shadow sneered as he continued, "Try as you might but you can't transform, even if you wanted to. You're in my realm now, and no one can save you"
"What do you want with my wand and her amulet anyway?" the blonde growled as the shadow started cackling.
"Oh darling, that's for me to know, and for you to find out" it smirked before snapping its claws.
A dark fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started to envelop the two girls.
"N-no... What's happening?" stammered by the purple clad girl.
"Quick! Grab my hand!" The blonde gasped as she tried to reach for the other girl.
"N-no!" the purple girl gasp as she was fully enveloped by the smoke and disappears from view.
"Stop! What are you trying to do to us?!" the blonde shouted before she was completely enveloped by the fog.
"It wouldn't be as much fun if I tell you, right? Though, you are lucky this is only a telepathic message for the both of you. You might as well know. 'Cause even if you do know, you can't hide from me. I will search every star and galaxy for you both and it's not going be a pretty sight once I'm done with you. So, rest up Princess Star Butterfly. You're going to need it" the shadow cackled as it started to disappear as well as her wand and the amulet.
"N-no! Must… get out… before I-"
"Star? Star! Wake up!"
Ignoring the voice that she's hearing, she struggled to get out "Oh, what kind of magic is this? I-"
"Star!"
The blonde girl named Star gasp and immediately sprang up from her bed. She stared blankly in front of her as she tried to control her breathing.
"Star? Are you okay? You were screaming and shouting in your sleep"
Star looked at her left. Her wide blue eyes staring back at a pair of concerned chocolate brown ones. "Is everything alright? Should I get you some water or-"
"Marco? When did you get here? W-what time is it?" she started as she tried to get off from her bed. But the guy named Marco quickly grabbed her by the arm, earning her attention.
"It's still in the middle of the night if you're wondering" he released her arm gently "Is everything okay? You know you can always tell your squire, right?" he smiled softly as she pondered for a moment. She deeply sighed as she return to her bed and told Marco that night about her recent nightmare.
The storm was still ranging outside as she finally got in to the base of the familiar track of stairs. 'I know it's late but, I'm hoping he's still awake' she thought. Sofia took a deep breath as she ascended the tall dark tower, hoping her best friend will help her in her current predicament.
"Oh, you cannot be serious, Cedric" grumbled Wormwood.
On top of the tower resides the purple clad sorcerer of Enchancia named Cedric the Sensational along with his familiar raven named Wormwood. Both are, what they say, are having a late night clothes fitting for the raven, much to his chagrin.
"Oh come on now, Wormy" the sorcerer just waved a hand nonchalantly from his seat "With this kind of weather, you're going to need a fitted scarf. You'll thank me later on, you'll see"
"In your dreams" the raven grumbled as he tried to get the blasted choking device out of his neck.
"I heard that!" Cedric snorted as he crossed his arms, "And besides, it's not like someone would barge in here in the middle of the night unannounced and embarrass you even further"
As if on cue, Sofia pushed the tower door open with much force that it hit the side of the wall.
Cedric yelped in surprise as he fell backward ungracefully on the floor in a heap while Wormwood sprang out from his perch and flew towards his master's bed chamber to hide.
"Oops…" Sofia shyly grinned as she helped her mentor sit up. Cedric gave Sofia a disapproving look.
"Sofia," he started, "What in Merlin's possess you girl to barge in like that? I told you to never sneak up, or in your case, surprise a sorcerer like that. I thought we've settled this. You nearly gave me a heart attack" he said as he placed a hand on his throbbing heart.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Cedric. I was just hoping that I could talk to you about something and-" she stopped mid-sentence as she took on her surroundings. She then looked at the different clothes that were piled up on the table.
She raised a delicate brow towards her mentor. Cedric followed her gaze from the table then towards her. He was about to answer when they heard a loud angry caw from the bed chamber. "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, CEDRIC!" Wormwood shouted.
Sofia giggled when Cedric clammed his mouth shut as he shrug towards his apprentice. "Well, you got your answer. Now on to more important matters" he gestured Sofia towards a chair. She nodded and took a sit followed suit by her mentor.
"So, what's been bothering you as of late?" he asked gently as he studied her. She looked a lot more tired this night. Bags under her eyes, beads of sweat trickling on either sides of her face, and hair, a natural disaster. Sofia opened her mouth but then closed them again and looked down at her twiddling hands. Cedric raised a brow at her sudden action.
"I… I had a bad dream" she answered shyly.
"Bad dream?" he asked in confusion "Then, why go all the trouble to run up here when you can go to your pare-" he paused when Sofia finally looked at him with desperation in her eyes.
He sighed and placed a hand on her head and gently stroked her hair in a calm manner which made her relax. "Okay, tell me everything, and I'll see what I can do" he smiled as she leaned towards her mentor, resting her head on his side. She took a deep breath and told Cedric all that occurred in her nightmares.
Once she finished her whole story, Cedric took her hand gently making her looked up. "My dear, those were only nightmares. They don't actually do you any harm. If that shadow thing that you talked about came from a dream, then it's not true"
Sofia sighed as she took in his mentor's words "But , it just felt so… real. I can still feel its claws on my neck every time I breathe. And that blonde girl from my dreams looked too real but, I can't seem to see her face. I don't know who she was but she was trying to help me. She was reaching out for me before I…" she swallowed as she can't seem to finish her sentence.
Cedric pondered for a while before he pulled out his wand from his robe and murmured a spell. With a flick of his wrist, appeared a glass of warm milk. Sofia looked at him as he gave her the glass. "This will help you with your nightmares. If not, I'm one call away. I'll see what we can do with those nightmares of yours"
Sofia gasped in delight as she put her milk down and ran towards her friend to give him a hug. "Thank you, Mr. Cedric! You're the best!"
He laughed gently and patted her head as she released him "So I've been told. How about I escort you to your room? It's getting quite late now"
Sofia nodded as she took her mentor's hand and holding the glass of milk on the other before descending from the tower. The storm was able to clear up and the moon peeking out from the remaining clouds.
"Good night, Mr. Cedric" Sofia announced when they were finally back in her room. She finally drank the milk and snuggled from her bed.
"Good night, my dear. I expect you on our magic lessons tomorrow after school?" he winked as his apprentice giggled.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world" she beamed as she tucked herself to sleep.
He smiled softly as he gently close the door of her room. Little did they know, Sofia's amulet let out a gentle light before disappearing again.
