Hello again! So, editing these chapters is sure being a big pain! But, oh well. Also, thanks to sutal and Epic Timelady, I'm really starting to get noticed. And I'm thinking about doing some changes to this story but I'll do them after I finish. So, I do not own Ben 10, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or any other cartoon shows that will be featured in this story. I only own the plot and my OC so please enjoy!

Ch 3. Soronia

Do you ever get the feeling that you're being watched? Well, I sure was. The second I turned around, I saw the last thing I ever thought I'd see. The figure appeared behind the trees and the closer it approached, the more intrigued I was by it. One foot poked out from the shadows and then the other before the whole body came out. I gaped at the unbelievable sight. It was a woman. But she was unlike any woman I've ever seen. Well, for one thing, she was pale. But not just pale because she glowed pure white. Her curvy figure was in a white flowing dress that was sleeveless and had a straight across neckline. It went below her feet and her matching hair went past her shoulders and stopped at her waist and I saw a glistening small crown on her head. I stared at her crystal blue eyes that popped out the most against the white glow she gave off. Her lips had a perfect shade of pink and I finally noticed them move.

"Hello, my dear." I gasped softly and took a few steps back. Just because she looks beautiful doesn't mean she's the same on the inside. She noticed my uneasiness so she smiled kindly and said just as kind "Do not be afraid. I will not harm you."

I looked up to meet her eyes and very cautiously took one step forward. "W-Who are you? W-What are you?" She replied me back calmly "I am Soronia. I am- well, I may not tell you what I am just yet." I got curious, "Why not?" I may be curious, but I'm still nervous as to what Soronia could be capable of. Maybe she's a witch or a disturbed spirit who plans on eating my soul! Oh, get a hold of yourself, girl! She's not a witch and I doubt she's a disturbed spirit who wants to eat your soul. Besides, I doubt you're even tasty. "Because you are not ready yet. Only when you are ready will I tell you. Until then, come with me." She started walking past me when I sort of shouted at her back "Hey, wait a minute!" To my surprise, she stopped. I thought she would turn swiftly around and slap me for being rude or something. I decided to get at least some answers.

"Before we go anywhere, would you please explain to me how I wound up here and where I wound up at?" She slowly turned back to face me and she didn't look annoyed or mad or what not. She started to smile but she stopped and started to explain. "Very well, then." Her back faced me and I followed her gaze to the town before us.

"Have you ever wondered?" I raised my brow at her but she didn't notice. "Wondered what exactly?" She still looked ahead.

"Wondered why you have this gift? The gift to travel in your dreams?" Whoa, what a coincidence! Can she read minds?

"Well, yes. In fact, I've been trying to answer that for the past two years. But I'm still drawing up blanks." Her lips twitched.

"It is because you are special, my dear. And it is because of this that you are unique," I started to smile but Soronia's smile dropped down to a grim frown, "But also valuable to those who would use you for their own needs." I gulped in fear. "L-Like who?" Her lower lip trembled but it stopped to show me her calm, reassuring smile. "That is not important; not as long as I am here to protect you." I got even more confused than I was a while ago "So you're what? My guardian angel or something?" She didn't respond. She took my hands in hers and squeezed them gently "If that is what you wish to call me…"

Suddenly, she pulled me by the hands and dragged me to the edge. "Uh, what are you doing?" She kept dragging me and her strong pull made me stumble over my feet.

She pulled us over the edge.

"No, please!"

We were falling.

Beneath us, the ground didn't look so far away - in fact, it was rushing up to meet us!

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Please...I didn't want to die.

Weightlessness. That was what I felt next.

What the...

Was I dead? Did we hit the ground?

I opened my eyes.

Oh. My. God.

No way.

This should be completely and utterly impossible.

I was flying.

We were flying.

She held on to one of my hands to guide me as we flew higher up to the dark blue sky. We went through the puffy gray white clouds and my free hand went through them, feeling the soft and silky material with my fingers.

I looked up to meet Soronia's blue eyes mixed with the bright light of the stars and I still couldn't believe it. First, I can travel to parallel worlds through my dreams. Second, I guess I'm the only human in history that has this ability. Third, hello?! I am flying! I forgot about the town and I looked down to see it from a bird's eye view. The whole town was big and it looked familiar to me but I couldn't tell from where. Soronia pulled me up so we were side by side and she started twirling us around and we wound up flying on top of a cloud. I laughed out loud at how we were riding on an actual cloud like it was a flying magic carpet. Wow, who'd have thought we would wound up with Aladdin and "A Whole New World" so sudden?

My mind was drawn back to the town and the gears in my head started turning. I swear I've seen this place somewhere before. I just can't remember from where though. Oh, I wish I could remember. Suddenly, Soronia was pulling harder on my hand and we were both flying through the clouds and over a neighborhood that is really familiar to me but I still couldn't place it. My eye caught something and it was a normal-looking one-floor house but one of the windows was opened. Probably wanting to let in some fresh air, I thought. That's when I caught something in there, even though it looked like an ant from way up here. It was a green jacket. Could it be?

It all happened so fast; Soronia pulling me away from the house and away from the city. "Uh, the city is back there."

"I have something different for you in mind." She led me back to the ground and I saw that we were in the city limits. My bare feet touched the grass and I saw her walking away so I followed her. Eventually, we were walking through the forest or woods. Seriously! I mean, what's the difference? Anyway, we stopped at the mouth of a cave and it led to absolute darkness; never a good sign. I imagined all the possible things that dwell in there: bats, snakes, rats, bears, ants, wolves. The possibilities are endless! "This is where you must go." I balled my eyes up at her. "Me? Go? In there?" I pointed to myself then at the cave. She nodded but I shook my head frantically. "Uh-uh! There is no way I'm going in there! I don't even know what's even in there!" But she had the nerve to push me towards the mouth of it and I tried to stand in place; I even shoved my feet in the ground just to halt! She pushed me with hidden strength I never knew she had before and I stumbled over my feet and almost felled over but I regained my balance. I looked into the cave and squinted my eyes to try and make out some things in it but it was too dark to see even a small rock. "Go on. Don't be afraid. There's nothing for you to fear." I sure hope you're right about that.

I started walking in and I kept my breathing at a normal rate. I didn't hear her footsteps following me like before. My feet were walking against the dusty, rocky ground and my already messy bed hair was getting in my face, to my annoyance. I was getting pulled in to the darkness and I still didn't hear her footsteps. She didn't say she would be right behind me. "Uh, Soronia?" She didn't answer me so I looked back. But she wasn't there. "Soronia? Soronia!" Suddenly, something warm and intense started to eat me up. I turned my head back to the front and my eyes were blinded by a big white bright light. I yelled out at how much pain and energy squirmed into my body. "Soronia! Help me! Help…" But suddenly, everything went from white to black; just like that.


(Third Person P.O.V.)

The night was cold on the outside; but in the inside of a certain house the air was getting warmer by the minute. So the bedroom window was opened and the air was getting cooler again. In the same room, a teenage boy was sleeping but he was tossing and turning again. He's been having trouble sleeping for the past few days and it keeps getting worse. Especially his dreams. In every single one, he keeps seeing a girl, younger than him, and she keeps laughing. Whether it was enjoying or disturbing, he still didn't know. All he knew was that it all means something. The question is: What does it mean?

"I need you. I need you." He murmured, clutching his pillow tightly at seeing the mystery girl beside a tree in the sun's glow.

"I need your help. I-I need you." He chased after her but the more he ran, the farther away she got and the more she laughed.

"Ge, I need you. I can't do this alone. I need your help." The moment he said her name, he scrunched his eyes in regret.

"Ge, where are you? I need you. Please come back. I can't do this without you." He reached out to grab the girl.

"Ge-Ge, where are you? Ge…Ge…Ge…" Just saying her name made him want to go back to her. He finally caught the mystery girl. But when he turned her around, he saw something dark, something sinister. It pounced on him and made him wake up.

"AHHH!" He jolted back up in bed and he was panting as well. He looked around and saw his normal bedroom and he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Ugh. It was just a dream. Just a dream…" His eyes landed on his green jacket on his bedpost. He sighed and laid back down and he went back to sleep. But unknown to him, it was more than just a dream.
