Chapter 4
Late Night Scare
"Sakura! Sakura!! Wake up!"
Sakura felt something shaking her. She opened her bright green eyes to see Kero griping her arm.
"Kero, what-" Then she remembered: The forest. The book. And-- her arm. The arrow sliced through the pajama top like hot butter, and Sakura gazed at her arm, which was bleeding slightly.
Sakura looked up and heard footsteps running in the hall. She took Kero and stuffed him under her pillow quickly, as the door opened. There was her father, and her brother peering behind him.
"Sakura, what's going on in here?!" her father asked. "I heard you scream and I ran in here as fast as I could! Are you hurt? Did you see someone?"
"I'm sure she just had another nightmare." Said Toya, yawning.
"Uh… that's right brother!" Sakura said with a gaudy smile. She peered down and seen her arm was uncovered. She hurried and pulled the covers to her chin, the pain of her cut increasing.
"Are you sure your all right?" her father asked.
"I'm fine, father. I'll see you both in the morning!" Sakura said, turning over and pretending to fall back asleep. She heard her door close quietly, and her brothers and fathers door close. She then sat up again, pushing the covers down to her waist. She rolled up the sleeve of her arm, and examined the cut. It seemed to be just a scrape, but she would still need to get some antibiotics. She was thinking if she had any in the bathroom cupboard when she remembered about Kero under her pillow.
"I'm so sorry, Kero," She said as she lifted the pillow. Kero didn't look happy with her.
"Next time, let me hide myself. I almost died under there!" Kero shouted
"Sorry, Kero!" Sakura said, patting him on the head. "Thanks for waking me up. Was I screaming?"
"Well, you were, and I woke up. I looked at you, and your arm was twitching. And then, before my eyes, your sleeve ripped, and your arm began to bleed! I was so frightened, I didn't know what to do! So I woke you up." Kero explained.
Sakura pulled her arm out from under the covers. It had stopped bleeding now, but it still was stinging. Sakura tried to remember the events in her dream, but they were slowly leaking away from her, like all dreams do. Sakura looked up at her alarm clock, and noticed it was only four in the morning. She then turned off her lamp, gave Kero another pat on the head, and fall back asleep. She would take care of her arm in the morning.
Well, there's chapter 4! kinda boring, I know, but it'll get better! I PROMISE!!
(This chapter was written by Ryan even though it was supposed to be by Em because Em has been to busy with school. But she will write chapter 5.)
