Dream Your Dream Away

Ch 12

Elisa was very quiet but nervous that night in Leah's room as she slept beside the human girl.

She'd heard what the Angel of Darkness had nearly done to her brother and Leah.

It brought tears to her eyes thinking about it.

"I have to protect my brother and Leah no matter what. Izz is my only brother and I don't want to lose him to anything, not even that Angel of Darkness.

She scares me. I hope I can do it.

But I know I'm not strong enough and never will be.

After we escaped that human who captured us and left Mom and Dad behind, I didn't recover. I became more scared, more afraid.

Izz isn't but maybe he has a way of hiding how he feels. I wish I could do that but I'm not that kind of kid.

Maybe Leah and I aren't meant to be a team. She'd get hurt or worse because of me. I couldn't live with that." She thought as she looked around the dark room.

In Carley's room Izz was still awake. He couldn't sleep because of what had happened today.

He saw Carley toss and turn in sleep.

He felt sorry for her. What happened today must've hurt her way more than him.

He saw a tear fall and hit the ground. "Don't worry. I'm here. We're safe, we're all safe. Thanks to you." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.

That seemed to calm her down.

Leah noticed sadness in her friend's aura as they entered the high school.

She knew why her friend was sad.

"Look it's the monster freak and her human pet!" Kristen jeered as she and her cherr leader friends mocked her but tripped her up.

Leah watched as most of the kids in the hall way laughed at that.

It made her angry.

Kristen was being mean to her because of how her friend looked and because she was disabled.

Inside Carley was awesome. She was kind hearted, creative and smart but they didn't want to see or care about that.

Leah watched as Carley ran out of the building.

She had seen tears in her friend's eyes. That was it!

"Kristen I can't believe you! Carley's a nice person. She may look different and have sught problems but on the inside she's cool.

I'm sick and tired of you guys doing that to her." She yelled as she punched Kristen in the face and broke her nose.

The other kids gasped in awe.

"You're so dead! You and your hideous freak of a friend are outcasts in these halls! You hear me!" Kristen screamed as she went to the nurse's office.

Nick, Brittany and most of the Anime Club members joined Leah. They'd been impressed by that.

"Cool Leah! Nobody has ever done that to Kristen before. Don't worry about that outcast thing that airhead said. We'll still be your friends." Nick told her.

"Yeah he's right. Friends stick together. Where did Carley go? Was she in trouble?" Brittany told her as they walked to Home room.

"No she's just really sad and Kristen and those other kids laughing made it worse." Leah answered.

At lunch Leah found Carley in the library reading manga. There were red rims around her eyes as she looked away from her friend so the sadness wouldn't show.

"Hey. I know you're feeling sad, way sad." she whispered to her friend.

"I'm sorry I took off like that. I'm still nervous about what happened yesterday.

If I hadn't used my Ogreix, you'd... be... be dead along with Izz and I couldn't deal with that happening. I know it's supposed to happen but when it does one day, it'll be too hard for me to take.

You're the only one who loves me as a person and not because I'm a disabled freak.

Kristen got to me eariler but her eyes, they reminded me of the Angel of Darkness. I don't know why.

I keep thinking of what could've happened if I hadn't became Ogre Child. Maybe Izz and I should save Aria. That way you'll be safe. I don't want to lose you." Carley explained as they hugged.

But then Leah and Carley were sent flying off their feet by something. It looked like the Angel of Darkness but younger. She had grey like skin, blue hair with purple wings and slender.

"It's time to end this freaks!" she said as she shot out a blast of magic but the friends dodged it.

"Who is that? What does she want?" Leah ask as she saw somebody appear.

It was Elisa.

"Leave them alone!" she yelled. The girl cackled as she saw Elisa tremble.

"You're nothing but a puny little Psammead loser. You can't stop me!" she cackled but then the evil angel like girl began attacking Carley.

This made Leah mad.

Suddenly the orange heart marking on her fore head glowed and magic surrounded both her and Elisa.

When it vanished, an angel was standing in Leah's place.

She was very tall but slender with long, light blue flowery wings, long chestnut hair hung from it's head. She had violet- brown eyes.

The dark angel was angry.

"Who're you?" she asked angrily. Leah smiled. She was within the Angel's heart giving Elisa her magic and postivity to help them fight.

"I'm the Angel of Dreams. How dare you hurt my friend! She did nothing to hurt you. Who're you?" she replied as she sent the black winged angel through the large library window but she wasn't hurt.

"I'm Krya but here on Earth you know me by a different name." the dark winged angel answered.

Leah's eyes went wide as she realised who it was.

"It's Kristen. No wonder she's been a jerk towards Carley. Carley created Aria, brought it to life and is Ogre Child. Krya must be the Angel of Darkness's daughter! Right now we've gotta weaken her the way Carley weakened her Mom." she told Elisa from within.

"But how? I'm not strong enough." Elisa told her in her head.

"Yes you are Elisa. That's why we're together, to lend strength to each other as friends do. Are you ready to try? I know you can do it!" lEAH REPLIED.

Krya watched as a grey amulet appeared out of the Angel of Dreams white forehead.

It was the Heart of Dreams. Suddenly waves of magic flowed from it and covered Krya.

Both Leah and Elisa heard Krya scream as she was weakened and fell to the floor.

She turned back into Kristen. There were cuts over her from going through the window.

"This isn't over Angel of Dreams! I'll be back and when I do, you're gonna pay!" she said running off as Elisa and Leah separated and the Angel of Dreams vanished.

Leah was worried as she saw Carley lying there badly wounded from the huge amounts of glass in her and from Krya attacking her.

"Will she be okay?" they heard somebody say and turned around.

It was Izz. He'd sensed something was going on and had ran there as fast as he could but his injuries still hurt.

"I-I'm not sure Izz. I've got to get her medical attention. Stay with her, okay?" Leah told him as she got out her cell phone and dialled.

Elisa saw her brother hugging Carley. "Please wake up! Don't leave me!

You're my only friend! Please don't leave. It hurt when my parents left but it'll hurt more if you leave. If that happens Aria's doomed." he sobbed.

Elisa was nervous. She hated Krya for doing this to a friend. But Krya had also hurt her brother by this.

She knew how close Carley and Izz were like her and Leah.

"Don't worry. I swear Krya will pay." Elisa told him hugging him.

Leah walked home later after the ambulance had left.

Izz was asleep in her arms while Elisa was on her back talking to her. "How was Izz when I phoned for the ambulance?" she asked her.

"Terrible! He was crying and very upset. I'm worried for us.

You saw how he was when... our parents left. Imagine how if she leaves, he'll be crushed and take life into his own hands." the female Psammead told her.

Leah nodded as they entered the house. She hoped her friend would be alright or the Angel of Darkness would pay along with Krya.

Right now they had to hope she'd be alive...
