Chapter four: dreams
Zane POV
' fins que trobin una cura o moren.' Someone screamed. I ran through the woods, my steps growing slower and slower. 'MOREN!' They screamed again. Diediediedie… words echoes through my head, loudly, jumbling together. Plague pain cure die die suffer sick dead sacrifice gateway overlord die moren moren moren… the voices shouted louder. I fell onto the ground, unable to move on. I'm coming for you…
I jolted awake, gasping. I looked around wildly and sighed, leaning on the wall. I stared at the stone in front of me. qualsevol que utilitzi aquesta porta d'entrada, serà infligit amb una plaga. El dolor i el sofriment els afectaran. fins que trobin una cura o moren. I swallowed, hoping it wasn't real. I was a nindroid. I can't get sick. Or can I? I stood up, and my head throbbed. I stumbled forward, into the trees. I ignored the pain and moved on. My stomach hurt so badly. I felt like I was going to throw up. A new burst of pain erupted in my head and I staggered sideways, leaning against a tree for support. I groaned and sank to the ground. This is not good. I wanted nothing more than to sleep, but that wouldn't help me. Good thing I didn't need to eat often or else it would be a lot harder. I hoped the others were faring well. The scrolls did say Lloyd would defeat the overlord, and soon they would come back for me. Suddenly I lurched forward and threw up all over the place. I moaned and sat back again. I need help. Soon.
Kai POV
I was worried about Zane. It had been nearly three days since I had tried to go rescue him, and the strange feeling I had been having never stopped, only got stronger. We had no luck with the overlord. So far. We were in Dareth's dojo, with some of the other citizens of Ninjago, planning.
"A cannon!" Jay exclaimed for the thirteenth time.
"Jay, where are we going to get said cannon?" Cole asked, annoyed.
"Oh yeah."
"This is stupid!" I exclaimed, slamming my fists on the table. "We should go back for Zane. He must have better plans than him!" I stuck my thumb at Jay.
"You know we can't go back for Zane." Lloyd told me. "We would risk everything." I stalked to the other side of the room and sat against the wall. I haven't gotten any sleep in nearly four days. I closed my eyes and sighed. Before I knew it I was drifting into sleep.
I was in a forest. It was gloomy and dark, and I felt terrible. I stumbled along keeping my head low. I fell to my knees and started puking my guts out.
"I have to keep going." It wasn't my voice though. I stood up and staggered along, ignoring the pain in my head. Ugh… I bent over and coughed. Words started pouring out of my mouth.
'qualsevol que utilitzi aquesta porta d'entrada, serà infligit amb una plaga. El dolor i el sofriment els afectaran. fins que trobin una cura o moren.'
Someone grabbed my shoulder.
I woke with a gasp and sat up. Nya was holding my shoulder. I blinked at her, surprised.
"What? I was just sleeping." I complained.
"You were asleep for nearly two hours!"
"What?" I yelped. "I only wanted a short nap!" Then I stopped.
"What is it?" Lloyd asked.
"I saw Zane…" I whispered. "Does anyone speak Catalan?" I asked Suddenly. I felt like that was the language I said in my dream. Another gut feeling.
"I do. I know a lot of languages." Misako said. "Why?"
"Can you translate something for me?" I asked. I remembered the dream as clear as day. I was wearing a white gi. I was Zane. Misako handed me a piece of paper and I scribbled the words down.
Misako muttered and wrote down some words in English. She stepped back.
"Kai was...Right." I read over her shoulder and gasped.
"Oh no." Jay said.
"Oh no? Oh no!?" I yelled. "That's ALL? Oh no!? Our brother is-"
"Kai." Lloyd said. "We have to focus."
"On what!?" I shouted.
"Defeating the Overlord!"
"How could you possibly-"
"Kai." Sensei interrupted. "Lloyd's right." I stared at all of them in shock. I couldn't control my anger. I ran to the other side of the room and kicked a hole in the wall. Then I sat next to it. I glared daggers at Everyone. How could they possibly ignore the fact that Zane, their brother, is going to DIE?? I crumpled a nearby soda can. This is stupid. I should try to sneak away again, now that I know he is actually in trouble. I clenched my fists. They wouldn't stop me, would they? I clenched the soda can harder, then stared at it in shock.
"How is this possible…?" I whispered to myself. The Can was frozen solid.
I'm sorry for the VERY short chapter and the drama. Plus, I've been looking at the views of this story, and so many of you have viewed it AND DONE NOTHING! I apologize, your reviews just make my day, and urge me to write a new chapter.
Hmm… I think I'm just cutting it short because I lost my planning sheet…
;D
