Chapter 2. Of Dreams & Stowaways
Disclaimer: I don't own the song sadly, & I don't own the Treasure Planet characters they belong to Disney. But I do own the dream girl & we own ourselves (for some of u who don't know what the hell I'm talking about, read the first chapter damnit). Now, in this chapter I'm going to switch back & forth from character to character, so it might be confusing for a while, just try to act like you are following along. Now onward damnit!!

It was a normal day like any other day on the RLS Legacy. Even though they shoved of from port ten days ago, Jim thought that something major was going to happen. Very soon infact. How did he know this, it may be because of the dreams he was having since they left port. They all began the same way; he was standing in the middle of a white flowered field, at night with the full moon over head, with his shadow on the ground. There was a girl of some sort standing on top of the cliff near by. She was just standing there, all alone, & he would begin to walk over to her calling out to her. Then there was the music, a high pitched sound that seamed to fill the air. This seamed to calm Jim, but make him even more cuoriusThen the singing, something he could never forget, for as soon as he got near, he would here her singing
In the sea
The fish have learned to fly,
On a moon lit night.
On wigs of silver
As the incanted stars.
Sail serenely by…
Then she would turn to him, he could still remember even with his eyes open, how she looked. She had short hair, a golden-copper color. She would wear the same silver-white dress, same silver tiara crown on her brow, & the same necklace with a small silver cage containing a small green stone. And her eyes, her eyes were of the rainbow, but as of a storm. A sad storm that morns for the loss of someone dear, he thought. She would look at him with those eyes & sing
Do they know?
Where do Unicorns go?
Where do winged horses fly?
Norwhales lost at sea
And never seen again
She would then point to the forest.
Go…
Go and ask the magpie,
Where do Unicorns go?
He would shout to her "Why?", but she would not answer. Instead she'd fade away, like a mist. And just like every dream he had, it would end the same way too. He would she her again only not in a field, but on the sand, by the ocean, But she would not sing, she would not stand. Instead, she would be laying on the sand, with a red liquid on her body. Jim would run to her side & hoist her up to sit up on his shoulder. He would lift up his hand & find it covered in the red liquid, finding out, that it was blood. She would ask him, in a slivery voice, smiling at him as though he was an old friend
"The last, I know now. I am the last."
Then, she would die. Not the over dramatic way, she would just close her eyes &…
Die.
Just like that. This made Jim cry, every time it made Jim cry. But he would never finish crying. For after she would die, he would hear this distinct, low growl. He would turn around, & scream. Then he would wake up, drenched in a cold sweat.
At that time he could not get back to sleep again. He was losing sleep, & sometimes concentration. John Silver was noticing this as time progressed. He would usually find Jim on deck in the middle of the night, looking out at the open space around him. Silver though thought best not to ask, for it might be a personal matter. Jim fought off his thoughts, as well as his sleepiness, as he started to progress up to the main deck. As he progressed up the stares from the galley, he started to hear immense shouts & angry threats.
This made him run up the stares, almost tripping down them on the way. Once he reached the top, all he could see was the whole crew in a circle. There was shouting from every crew member. Jim could hear some of them shouting "Their stowaways, they should be punished!", "Throw them in the brig!", "what is that one, a girl or boy?!", "you can't tell can you?" all those things were being said, & at the moment, Jim was wondering
"What the hell?"
He finally was able to climb up some of the ropes to look over the crew. What he saw shocked him. What it looked like was that there were three teenagers in the center of the group, completely unconscious. What he could make out was that one was a boy, & one was a girl. One of them, he was caught in between the two genders; it looked like a girl from some point of view, from another it looked like a boy. Finally, after the crew argued for 5 minutes it seamed, the Capitan came on deck. She started to push her way through the crowd shouting
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? WHAT'S THE FUSS ALL ABOUT?" she glanced from crew member to crew member. Finally one of them, Scroop, came up to the Capitan with the three in his many arms.
"We found these three, in the cargo hold." He said in his hiss like voice. As he spoke, he threw down in front of the Capitan the young teens. Jim thought that he heard on of them groan, his hearing was right it seamed. For after Scroop put them down, one of them moved. It was the one that was either a girl or boy. It started to sit up on its own. It then started to speak, it was faint, but Jim could hear it from were he was.
"Hey, are u guys alright?" it said turning to the two behind her. Jim then knew that it was a girl, because of the high pitch of the voice. The other girl then sat-up & spoke.
"I'll be fine as soon as I gain my since of reality back." She moaned & rubbed her side. The boy then spoke up "ok which one of you landed on me, cause now I have a pain in my gut." By this time, Jim had climbed down from the ropes & joined the crowd with John Silver, who was at the front of the crew. Scroop came back with four bags in his arms "we also found these" he threw them down beside the teens on the floor. Jim didn't notice scroop looking at him, he was too busy making out the threes features.
The boy was dark tan skinned, & had jet black hair. He had darkish eyes that matched his hair perfect. One of the girls had short brown hair, shorter than his infact, & had blue eyes. She also wore glasses, not like Dr. Doppler, they were much darker & thinner in frame. The other girl was a complicated description for Jim. From what he could establish, she had copper-bronze hair, & her eyes were a green color with a little hint of brown in the center. She reminded him of someone, but he couldn't remember who! The Capitan had enough & spoke to the three.
"Alright you three, what are you doing on my ship?"

Me.
I looked up to the voice & spoke sternly "I'll explain myself as soon as-" I never got to finish my sentence. For as soon as I looked up & my vision cleared, I screamed my bloody head off. What I saw was a CAT standing on its hind legs! Taller than 5 feet! Possibly taller than ME!!!
"AHH, AAHH, AAAHH!" I screamed as I backed up into my friends. Jessie looked at me at that moment. "Nelly, what's wro-" she looked up too, & screamed even louder than me. "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" she & I huddled in with Awesome. Awesome looked at us like we were losing it.
"What the hell are you guys screaming abou-" lo & behold, he looked up too. His scream was even louder than Jessie's! "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" we then looked at each other & did the only thing we could do…..
We screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" (author: someone shut us up!)
The feline woman had enough it seamed, for she unplugged her ears & shouted at us "BE QUIET!!" we shut up, not noticing that everyone was plugging there ears. I looked over to Awesome "dude, are we in hell? Or are we having the same dream at the same time like some of those people in those bad sci-fi movies have?"
He looked at me "No, hell would have fire pits, the devil, & little devils poking at us with pitch-forks. And this can't be a dream cause I still hurt, & in dreams you don't feel pain." At that moment he gave me a look that twisted my gut with guilt, & I knew what he was thinking then. "Hey! If you're thinking I had something to do with this your wrong! I have not been doing "dimensional travel" spells behind your back, you know me, I would have told you so I wouldn't get burned for it later." I grunted & folded my arms "Besides, I AM a minor."
The feline woman had heard enough. "Alright you, explain yourselves this instant. What are you doing on my ship?"
I looked up at her, still a bit shocked, but wouldn't show it. "Look lady…person...thing.., I…uhh…WE…will explain ourselves as soon as we know were we are &….." I paused in thought, recapturing what the hell she said before. Then it hit me, hard. I looked around through the crowd of freaks to see where we were. I turned back to the head freak, meaning the feline woman.
"Did you say…..ship!?" I said with a grim look on my face & a hollow feeling in my gut. She nodded at me with the most evil look I have ever seen from a cat. "Why do you ask young one?" she began "haven't you ever seen a ship before?" I ignored that remark, & with a good reason. I kept walking around looking from object to object. My friends must have figured it out, cause they followed me after a while. I walked over to the edge of the ship, & took a glance over the side. Instead of seeing the ocean, I saw nothing under us. That took my last bit of sanity it seamed. I screamed out as I jumped back from the edge.
"GOOD GOD! THEIR'S NO OCEAN THERE!!! HOW THE HELL IS THEIR NO OCEAN THERE!" my friends joined me in my madness then.
Jessie was first to speak "OH MY GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG HERE?!" then there was Awesome "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE!" we backed up to our original places. I looked back at the feline woman, panting the whole time "where… (pant) the...hell (gasp)…are…we...lady??"
She looked at us, still shocked at our reactions earlier; she then turned to, what looked like a stone golem that was next to her the entire time. "Mr. Arrow, take these three to my cabin, I'll be there shortly. We looked at the stone golem in front of us, I think my friends would have agreed with me if I said out loud instead of thought "you have GOT to be kidding" but she wasn't, nether was the golem.
"Follow me please." He said in a low, low voice. I would swear it was lower than my brothers singing voice. We followed like we were told, with me in front, & Jessie hanging on my arm, & Awesome holding Jessie's arm. It was just a chain the whole way. But little did I know, someone was watching us, the whole time.
