Chapter 2: Dreams of Another Type
A/N: Expect at least one these on the 17th of each month going forward. Enjoy
The cave, it was all she could see, nearly a year and a half after she'd been lost for a month without a trace there she was back inside. Although who she was with did bring another sense of wonder and confusion.
"Axew where are we?"
Iris looked around once to get hear bearings. Blue then began to glow again, filling the crannies of the cave.
"SinJohKanOen really?"
That was the least of her problems as the images began to manifest. Images of the people she long thought were only dreams from a distant time she had long forgot.
"Raj what happened."
"I don't have a taser."
"I'm calling you my sister."
"Amy what are…?" The words barley got out of Iris as she could now see her own self running from a shadow. It slowly moved then consumed her as she struggled against it.
"NO!"
Iris shot upward in her sleeping bag careful not to disturb the nearby sleeping Axew. Ever since the white ruins and Team Plasma the dreams have been more frequent and recurring. Now on their way back to Nuvema Town to talk with Professor Juniper they had begun to get more prevalent. It had only been a year and a half since she lost that month of her life and somehow fell from the sky. Juniper conned it off as Iris being taken by a very large Unfezant but somehow she knew better.
"Why are they coming back now?" She shimmied out of the sleeping bag and went around the campsite to alleviate her insomnia. It was as still as could be very quiet moonlit night. Iris walked over to a small clearing 200 ft away from our camp to get some bearings on what to do.
"Do I say something to them, I mean they think I was gone for a month taken by an Unfezant and yet I think I'm supposed to go back."
The moonlight came over the ridge and bathed the clearing in a radiant glow. That gave rise to another thought.
"If I do this do I leave Axew, Excadrill, Emolga and Dragonite with Ash and Cilan? I know they already have enough problems with the others as it is."
With that one thought pushed aside she headed back to the camp passing us by as we were curled up snoring. The squeeze back into her bag was easier then getting out with Axew hardly moving an inch. She gazed upwards at the stars beyond the trees the lone thought that filled her mind before drifting back off to sleep was one that she knew would be a game changer and potentially cataclysmic to both of us.
"I'm going to leave them, I have to go back. in the next 2 days"
Sleep soon overtook her and all thoughts that came with it.
