Chapter 4: Idntity
Running as fast as she can, Terra sprinted to Alexis's dorm. If she didn't get there in time…Terra shook off the hideous thought of the outcome.
Arriving at the Obelisk Blue Dorms, the young blonde teen ran into two girls who's appearance changed to two other girls she knew.
" Jaz…Riku..?" Terra stopped and said.
" What?" The one that looked like Riku (Bri) said. " Who are you talking about Alexis?"
Terra blinked and she noticed the two girls changed back to their normal selves. Jasmine with her hands on her hips, and Mindy with both her hands behind her black haired head.
Terra shook her head and ran off.
" Alexis!" Jasmine yelled. She stomped her foot in realization that Terra wasn't going to answer her call.
Mindy walked up to Jasmine. " Are you sure that was Alexis? She looked like her…but I noticed there were a couple differences…"
Jasmine turned her head. " Mindy, you think too much. That was Alexis, but in normal clothes."
Terra reached Alexis's dorm.
" ALEXIS?!" Terra screamed and pounded. She tugged on the doorknob. Locked, not a good sign…
"WOAH!" Josh shouted. " What the hell?!"
Everyone looked at Josh and then down at Terra. Her appearance changed slightly and her clothes changed to some skin-tight blue uniform.
"Terra" lifted her head and grunted. She opened her eyes to notice she wasn't in her dorm that she was in a few moments ago before falling asleep…
" Who are you guys?!" Alexis shouted.
" Don't scream at us!" Jasmine retaliated. " What did you do with Terra?!"
Alexis blinked and looked at the people surrounding her. She stopped when she saw Josh.
Alexis cocked her head to the left, compressed her face, and squinted. "Aren't you Joshua….?"
Josh's eyes widened. " How do you know my name?!"
Alexis suddenly straightened herself and doubled over, clutching her heart. She started to moan due to pain…
" ALEXIS!!!!" Terra shouted from outside the dorm. She had no choice…it's Alexis's life….or the damn door in front of her, keeping Terra from saving Alexis…
Just as Terra mounted her leg to kick the door wide open, a bright surrounded her. She put her leg down and suddenly vanished…
Where the strange girl once was, Terra was put in her place.
" Oh my God…Terra…" Bri breathed heavily. Taneska let out a long breath behind her.
Terra looked up and noticed she was back in Mrs. Rowland's science classroom. She sighed. If she didn't get back to Jaden's realm, who knows what will happen to Alexis…
" A strange chick took over your body!" Josh exclaimed. " And she knew me! It was the weirdest thing I've ever heard! Who in the hell was she?!"
Terra looked up at the young teen. Looking at his hazel eyes, she could tell he was concerned about all of this…
" What did she look like?" Terra finally asked.
" A lot like you," Sarah said. " Except her hair was a caramel colored brown, and she had a Obelisk Blue Dorm uniform…"
" She was-" Terra started to say.
"-Alexis," Sarah finished Terra's sentence. " I knew it was her as soon as she materialized before us…Terra…What's going on?"
Terra let out a long sigh. There was no way escaping explaining this one. Not with all of these people surrounding her….
" Let her rest first…" Josh said.
Terra looked up at him. He was looking at her with a look of worry in some way.
" Josh is right," Mrs. Rowland stated. " You look exhausted."
" Of course I'm right!" Josh said with pride.
Everyone laughed.
" Whatever Josh!" Terra replied. " If you're always right, then that would mean I'm god!"
" Well," Josh said. " Everyone better start worshiping you then!"
Once again, another series of laughs escaped the class's lips. But Terra's mind wasn't laughing.
What will become of Alexis and Jaden? What will become of these two realms now connected by some book? What will happen to the Dream Journal?
More importantly….Will all this become just one big, blurred reality filled with faces turned mosaic from constant change, people turning into others that Terra knew from Jaden's reality and back again, and Terra's mind filled with confusion, little hope, and scars? Basically…
Will Terra disappear from her own world taking Alexis and Jaden with her?
