Dimension, Part Three
By
Angel Raye
Ariel stared in terror at all the corpses before her. Nearby her friends were also scared. They were all looking at the person who brought them here.
"Come with me," he was saying. "Or this will be your fate." He pointed to the rotting corpses.
Ariel felt the bile climbing up her throat. She thought about the one person she wanted right now, "Mommy."
"MOMMY," Ariel sat up in bed screaming in terror. "MOMMY!"
The door burst open and Amy came flying in. She gathered her frightened child into her arms. "It's okay Sweetie," she whispered. "Mommy's here."
Ariel clung to her mother and wept. Amy carried her over to the rocking chair, sat down and began to rock in an attempt to calm the child down. "Tell Mommy what you dreamed about," Amy gently coaxed.
Ariel opened her mouth to talk only to find that she could not remember what the dream was about. "I don't remember," she confessed.
"You don't," asked Amy in disbelief. Ariel could always recall her nightmares.
"No I don't," Ariel replied as she pressed her cheek to Amy's chest. She felt the warmth and comfort she always felt there. "I don't remember at all."
Amy did not answer. She continued to rock Ariel trying to get her back to sleep.
"Are you ready Rini," asked Haruka securing the rope around Rini's waist. Rini was going back into the rift to try and rescue the others.
"I am ready," Rini replied.
"We have got to get them out as soon as possible," Raye demanded. "I have not had as much contact with Annika now which means she could be getting weaker."
"We'll get all of them," Setsuna assured her. "We have already pulled three of them out of there." Everyone glanced over at Ariel, Madelyn and Daisy. So far all three of them had been behaving normally. Amy had not shared about Ariel's nightmare the previous night.
"Is the bath ready," asked Michiru.
"It's ready," Amy replied. "Now Rini try and get two again this time."
"I will," Rini promised. She held her breath and entered the rift.
Raye closed her eyes and began to chant quietly.
Rini felt her way through the darkness. She held her breath and tried to fight the nauseous feeling in her stomach. The smell of rotting corpses was nothing she could ever get used to. What kind of dimension was this? Rini did not like it.
"I'm here Annika," she thought. "Give me someone." Rini held out her arms and a small body was placed in them. "Come on Annika give me another," thought Rini. Another child was placed in her free arm. Rini pulled the rope and felt herself being yanked back into the ballroom. Rini gasped for breath.
"Maggie," Setsuna shrieked as she took Maggie out of Rini's arm.
"Hope, thank goodness," Michiru snatched Hope up.
"Let's go," Amy ordered she led everyone to her office.
A half-hour later both girls were cleaned and being examined by Amy. Aside from weakened conditions they were both okay.
"Do you remember anything," asked Haruka as she kept a supporting arms around Hope.
"Nothing," Hope replied. "Where's Faith?"
"She's still missing my dear," Michiru replied. Hope looked downcast.
"Mom what happened," asked Maggie.
"You and the others got pulled into another dimension," Setsuna informed her daughter. "However since no one remembers anything we have not found out who is behind this and why they took you."
"Hope I found this," Michiru held up the picture Hope was drawing before she got pulled in. "Do you know why you drew this."
Hope looked at the picture. "I don't know why I drew this," she answered. "I saw the image and I just had to draw it."
"You don't know why you saw it," asked Amy.
"No," Hope murmured.
"We have got to rescue the others," Haruka declared.
"Who else is still missing besides Faith," asked Hope.
"Annika and Gloria," Mina replied. Her bravery was starting to waver. A tear fell down her face.
"It's okay we will find her," Lita comforted her friend.
"I know," Mina whispered. "I just miss her right now."
"I know how you feel," Raye choked wiping a tear out of her eye.
"Aside from what Rini has told us we do not know what kind of dimension this is," Serenity pointed out.
"Have you had any more contact with Annika," Amy asked Raye.
"None," Raye sighed. "She may be getting weaker."
"Then we need to move on with the rescue operation," Amy concluded. "Get Rini ready again. We need to get the rest of them out of there.'
Rini grasped around in the dark trying to find the other children. She hated to think of anyone living in this dimension. It was terrifying. The smell still upset her stomach. She held out her arms. "Okay Annika," she thought. "I am here. Let me have the others."
It was a few minutes before two warm bodies were placed in her arms. Rini clutched them and pulled the rope. She was yanked back into the ballroom.
"Gloria oh thank God," Mina shrieked as she picked up the unconscience child.
"Faith," Haruka snatched the child out of Rini's arms. Rini glanced up and saw her mother standing over her.
"Mom," she gasped and then she passed out.
She came to in the hospital room. Amy was checking her pulse. "She's coming too," Amy called out. Serenity and Endymion were by Rini's side.
"How are you feeling," asked Endymion.
"Okay," Rini murmured. "How are Faith and Gloria?"
"They are fine but like the others they do not remember anything," Serenity replied. "Annika is the only one left. We are hoping she has the answers."
"We need to get her," Rini gasped sitting up but Amy pushed her back down.
"Not yet," Amy firmly stated. "You need to rest first."
"But Annika..." Rini began.
"We will rescue her," Serenity assured her. "Don't worry."
That evening Rini was ready to try and retrieve Annika. Raye was anxious to get her daughter back but she did not want Rini to put her life in danger.
"Are you sure you are ready for this," she asked Rini.
"I am," Rini replied. "I want to get this over with and I want Annika to come back safely."
"I hope you know how much we all appreciate you saving the children like this," Raye told her.
"Thank you," Rini said as she squeezed Raye's hand. She looked at the rift and stepped in.
"Please get my baby back," Raye whispered.
Rini felt around in the dark. She could not find Annika anywhere. She was sure that the moment she went in Annika would be throwing herself into Rini's arms but that did not happen.
"Where are you Annika," Rini gasped as she tried to ignore the smell. She groped around feeling corpse after corpse. The queasy feeling in her stomach overwhelmed her. She tried to fight the feeling and continued looking for Annika.
She finally came across a warm body. "I hope this is Annika," she thought. She yanked the rope and she was pulled back into the palace ballroom.
"Annika," Raye shrieked as she gathered Annika into her arms. "Amy she's not breathing."
Amy was by Annika's side in a flash. She pinched Annika's nose and opened her mouth. She looked in. "There's the problem," she stated. She turned Annika over and hit her hard on the back. Annika began coughing as a wad of the slime came out of her mouth. Annika took a deep breath but she was still unconscience. "Let's get her in the tub," Amy ordered. With Annika in her arms Raye followed Amy to her office where the tub was waiting.
An hour later Annika was in bed with Amy checking her vitals. She was slowly coming around. "Mama," she murmured.
"I'm here Sweetheart," Raye replied stroking Annika's long hair.
"The others," Annika cried sitting up.
"Take it easy young lady," Amy ordered laying Annika back down. "You are very weak right now and need to rest. The others are fine."
"Good," Annika heaved a breath of relief.
"Annika none of your friends remember what was over there," Chad said. "Do you at least remember anything?"
Annika scrunched up her face. "It was another dimension of some kind," she replied. "But it was very different from what most people expect. There was mostly death over there."
"Do you remember anything else," asked Serenity. "Why was Rini unable to see anything? Why weren't the adults able to go in."
Annika thought hard. "I really don't know," she said sadly. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay," Raye assured her. "You have been able to give us more than any of the others."
"We have to make sure that until we close this rift the children won't get pulled in again," Chad stated.
"I have already taken care of that," Endymion replied. "I have locked the ballroom doors and secured the key. I have also posted guards around the doors so the children will not be able to get in."
"Then we need to find out what this is all about," said Amy and everyone agreed.
A couple of days later all of the children were back to their usual activities. Some of them were having nightmares but none of them were able to recall what had happened. Greg and Amy decided to take Ariel out for the day. They had to go to the computer store and buy some parts for Amy and Ariel's mini computers. After that they thought they would take Ariel to the bookstore. The bookstore was crowded that day since it was Saturday. Ariel had gone over to the children's section and began looking for books by her favorite author.
A chill suddenly appeared in the air. Ariel looked up at the bustle of people. One man caught her attention. He was dressed all in black and was looking right at her. Ariel felt a feel of familiarity about him. She watched him closely and saw some people walk right through him.
