Chapter 37
I lay on my bed, still depressed about Dark leaving. My parents agreed to let me stay home because I had told them one of my friends went missing and I didn't want to go to school.
I sighed and stood up. My legs carried me downstairs and I got some lunch when I remembered Brianna might be at lunch then. I quickly went upstairs and grabbed my phone. My fingers dialed her number and it rang twice.
"Ally? What's up? Midnight told me what was up," her voice sounded reassuring.
"I'm fine," I lied. "Still sad that Dark's gone though. Can you come over after school to hang out?"
"Sure thing," she said.
"Please tell Krad and Midnight to come over too." I said as I took a bite of my sandwich I made.
Her voice sounded distant and I heard other voices too. "They'll come over," Brianna said again.
"Thanks," I hung up and watched television. It was on a commercial of Tokyo Disneyland with people having fun on rides. I would mention that to my parents as a possible summer idea.
I kept thinking of Dark every second. How was he and where was he were the most things I thought of. I returned to my room and took a quick nap.
I had a dream with Dark in it. He was in flight with his beautiful black wings spread wide. The thief landed my me on a beach. I was wearing a white dress with no shoes.
"Hello, my princess." He said in a sweet voice. I felt my heart skip a beat and I blushed. He held out his hand and I took it in mine. We walked on the beach looking at the sunset.
"Ally," he stopped and I turned to look at him.
"Yes, Dark?" I asked.
He walked up and took my face in his free hand and looked into my eyes. "I love you," he told me.
"I love you," I replied and moved forward. My lips almost connected to his when I woke up. I felt tears in m eyes and I wiped them away when the doorbell rang.
'Brianna must be here,' I thought as I went to the front door. I unlatched the chain and looked through the little hole in the door while I unlocked it. My breath caught in my throat and I backed away from the door. A huge rush of wind opened the door and knocked me back into the wall. I felt my breath leave me as I looked at the figure now entering my house.
"Akari…" I breathed.
"Miss me?" she smiled as she reached for her sword. I was too scared to move as she put the tip of her sword under my chin.
"You will die. Right here, right now," she said as she lifted her sword sideways. I screamed and ran off as her sword made contact with the ground.
I ran into the kitchen where she hit the shoulder that Krad had hurt earlier (see chapter 1) and I let out a cry of pain. Akari lifted the sword again and, with my hand on my shoulder, I ran to the stairs. Just as Akari got to me, Midnight and Krad bursted through the door.
"Ally!" they both yelled as Akari hit me in the side of my torso and I winced painfully.
"Get out of here!" I screamed at them as I ran upstairs, Akari on my tail. She hit me in the leg and I fell just at the top of the stairs. Tears began to form in my eyes and Akari stood over me.
"Krad! Call Dark!" Midnight yelled as she ran up the stairs.
"What?!" I asked as Akari struck above my eye and I yelled in pain.
Krad pulled out his phone and dialed the number.
