chapter 10- the witches dream
"Jegeus Jade there are way to many frogs on your planet. Do you even have consorts?"
"You know I do Dave. We've talked with them before. Their frogs remember."
"Well damn Jade everything is a frog on this planet. Are we sure you're not a frog?"
"I fairly sure," I giggled, "but you never know for sure."
"That's fair." He said flashing a smile. He was very handsome when he smiled. He was handsome when he was standing all noble and stoic like a knight but I liked him better smiling.
I could feel the heat in my face as I thought about him. He was looking at me funny too.
"So umm... what's with the fancy getup? I mean it cool and all but I don't think its the kind of thing one would wear frog hunting."
"Oh this?" I said looking at my dress. Maybe it was to nice for frog hunting. "If you think I should change then I will."
"Nah I like it. It makes you look very lovely. I was thinking maybe I should put on one of my suits. That way we could match or something."
"I actually like the shirt."
"Well if the high fashion frog girl thinks I'm not under dressed then I guess I'm not."
We laughed for a moment. The world seemed to be at peace. I was truly happy first time in a long time. Bec was a good friend but it was nice to have really human friends.
From far away I could hear a loud howl. Panic pulled at my lungs. Somehow I knew it was Jack here to kill us.
"Harley we have to run now!" Said Dave panic in his voice.
Then a cold sensation fell around me. The world dissolved around me only leaving Dave and I. His grip on my hand slowly fading away and he was becoming less and less visible.
"Dave stay with me! Please Dave come back. Anyone come back."
"Jade! You have to motherfucking wake up." Said the voice of my juggalo friend. It was kind and warm.
"Gam is that you?" I asked opening my eyes. The dark room was uninviting but I was just glad not to be bleeding out in the grand hall. Gamzee sat over me in a chair next too my bed. he was holding a bottle of fygo over my head. he must have dumped it on me to wake me up.
"Yah it motherfucking me. Shit who else would it be. I mean other then Aradia."
I felt up at the band on my head that Aradia must have applied when I was out cold. I had bandages on my middle and my arm and legs.
"I you don't motherfucking mind me asking who the fuck is Dave? You were all yelling his name."
"To tell the truth Gamzee, I don't know. I had a dream where I was on a different planet I think and we were looking for frogs I think. There was a very handsome boy there I guess his name was Dave. My he was handsome. I think I knew him for somewhere. Anyway we were talking and then something showed up and we were running. Then the world went black and he began to vanish and then I woke up."
"That sounds like it needs to be interpreted." Said a kind voice from the doorway. I looked to see Aradia in her usual cloths. The simple black cloth to show the sign and hide her breasts and the black skirt that want to her ankles. I had the same cloths the only difference was her sign was dark red (same as her blood color) and was a line with what looked like her horns. My sign was acid green and shaped like a dog beast.
"Hi Aradia."
"Hello Jade. Are you feeling better?" She asked as she moved closer to my bed.
"Not really but it nothing new."
She huffed at that remark and began to inspect my body. "You know I wasn't kidding when it said your dream should be interpreted. It sounds like it might have meaning."
"I don't think it has meaning but whatever."
"Maybe your dream is a miracle from the mirthful messiahs. In fact I'm motherfucking sure of it."
"I don't think it's that either, but thanks anyway Gamzee." I said to my friend.
"Just out of curiosity what did the boy in your dream look like?" Asked Aradia as she undid the bandage on my left leg.
"Why do you want to know that?" I asked.
"I want to know if this boy is as cute as you make him sound."
"Well he was tall but not too tall and he was strong but not too muscular. He had very blond hair and bright red eyes that he always coved with sunglasses. He had this heroic aura about him like he was a knight or a superhero. He had white teeth that he never showed because he almost never smiled. He had a nice smile."
"Alright he does sound pretty good looking. At least for a human. Now let's get you up and see if you can walk."
