Here's chapter 11! I apologize for its shortness; I'll try to make the next chapter longer.

"Mrs. Meg? Can you hear me?" I opened my eyes. It was one of the girls that worked for Julius. She was a meek looking echidna girl. I sat up. "I'm sorry, I must have fallen asleep." I said. This was becoming a habit of mine. They fed me so little, and I haven't seen the sun for what seemed like forever. I would fall asleep without realizing it. I would be here, and then I would be somewhere else, in a dream. I was constantly fading in and out of reality.
The girl set down the platter of food she had been holding on the small table. "Don't apologize." She said, "We are the ones who should be apologizing to you." I knew this. I knew this very well. But I had always been taught to use manners since I was a little girl. It just came naturally now. Before anymore words could be said, the girl left.
I stood up and walked over to the table. She had brought me an apple. Just an apple. I sighed but ate it anyways, I was starving. The apple tasted somewhat bitter. But I didn't stop eating it. Once I was finished, I threw to core to the side of the room and lay down on the bed. I could feel myself fading into the dream world.
Soon, I was standing in a forest. It was dark, and I could see tents set up. And then I saw him. "Elias!" I called out to him. He looked up at me surprised. "Meg?"

She hovered there like an angle. Her hair blew in a breeze that wasn't there, and I could see through her, like a ghost. I ran up to her. I wrapped my arms around her. I began to cry. She did too. "Oh, Meg! How did you get here?" she looked surprised. "But this is just a dream." She said, "I fell asleep, I know I did..." she started to cry more.
"Meg, this isn't a dream! It can't be. I can feel you. Can you feel me?" she closed her eyes, and pressed her lips to mine. I was too scared to close my eyes; I was scared she would disappear. She pulled away just slightly. "Yes Elias." She said, "I can feel you here." The tears in her eyes began to come impossibly harder. "But I'm not really here." she said, "I know I'm not."
"Please get me out of here Elias!" she sobbed. I pulled her closer to me, "out of where Meg? Where are you?" she just shook her head, "I don't know." Then she started to fade away. "Please!" she called out. Her voice seemed to echo, and seemed distant. "I promise you I will Meg." I said, "Please don't worry, I'll be there as soon as I can."
Then she was gone.
Meanwhile... elsewhere...
Conquering Storm pov
It was now midnight. I was trying my best to go to sleep, but something about this train made me nervous. Lightning was next to me, and already asleep. Ghost had wondered off a while ago, and I now had no idea where she was. All I could do was hope she was still on the train.
Then she came in. She was warring a black shirt, and purple vest, black boots, a black belt, and black gloves. And she was also warring one of those French hats. Berets. I had no idea where she had gotten to outfit from, but I didn't ask.
"I got big news." She said. I slid past Lightning and walked over to her, "is it good news." She gave me a funny look. "You tell me." She said. Then,
"One of the people that kidnapped the ninja's followed us on the train."
I gasped, "How do you know?"
She stepped in more. "Me and Predator over heard her talking on the phone a few hours ago." I groaned. "And you chose now to tell me?" I asked.
She gave me a guilty look. "We found her on the other train. I didn't think she would follow us onto this one."
I glared at her, "you still should have told me right away." I said. She wasn't listening. Instead, she was fiddling with her cell phone. "Are you listening?"I snapped as quietly as I could, hoping not to wake Lightning. She showed me a picture on her cell, "This's her." She said.
I looked at the picture for a long time. Then I looked at Ghost, "we have to find here." I said. Ghost shook her head. "Not now. Everyone will think it odd if we got up and started searching the train now. They'd expect something. Diane would expect something." She said.
I raised an eyebrow. "Who's Diane?" she rolled her eyes and showed me the picture again. "oh." Was all I said. The girl in the picture did look like a Diane.
Then Ghost said something that surprised me. "Just stay here with your boyfriend and don't worry about it." I jumped a bit, hearing her say that. "Lightning's not my boyfriend. He's anything but my boyfriend." I said quickly. Ghost smirked. "I know he is your boyfriend. Did I forget to tell you? I know all about that night." I stared at here in shock, "how?" was all I could say. She giggled, "an spell dad taught me a while ago."
I looked to Lightning, and then I looked to her again, "does anyone else know?" I asked frantically. She nodded, "just the destructix. I told them right after I found out. But other than that, no one." I didn't know what to say. Sure I was a little mad. I was also relieved and thankful though, that she didn't tell anyone else. I was pretty sure the destructix would share Lightning's secret. It was about time they found out anyways though.
When I didn't say anything, Ghost said, "I wouldn't dare tell dad, or the clan. After what I've seen... you two are perfect for each other." I finally smiled "thank you Ghost."
She laughed, "Don't mention it."
So what do you think? Please review. And for next chapter, a very special guest shall be appearing.
