"Come to meeeee... Let me see you... Let me rip your flesh... None of
you will escape me... Not again... This time you will all die!"
Seering pain shot through my head and a agonized cry sprang forth from my lips as the dream ended. I could still hear that voice in my head. It was smooth, low, and full of malice. Someone, or somthing, wanted to kill me. I wiped the sweat from my brow as I contemplated the dream that had haunted my sleep for weeks. What did it mean, 'none of you'? Was it after someone else too? I shook my head to clear it and let sleep fog my mind over again. "I'll think about it tommorrow..."
Seventh period bell rang, but I didn't notice. My mind was somewhere else. It had been a week and I hadn't had the dream again. The menacing voice was gone, replaced by calm, thoughtless sleep. Had I imagined everything? No, it was all too vividly etched into my memory. A world outside our own, a million different species of bizarre creatures that inhabited lush jungles, stormy seas, baron wastelands, and frozen tundras. And a voice that called out to me, calling me to that world. Not the cold voice that made my blood run cold in my veins, but welcoming. What did it all mean?
"Hey, Yuki, you're gonna be..." my friend, Ashley, raised her trapper over her head before speaking her last word. "...LATE!" she brought her heavy books crashing down onto my head.
"Goddammit!!!" I cursed, grabbing my pounding skull. "That hurt! Why the hell are you always so hyper!?" My head felt like it was splitting.
She flicked her dark chestnut hair over her ear before answering. "Cuz your always so un-hyper! Come on, we're already late!"
Grumbling, I picked up my books and strode out of class.
At our lockers, we met up with our classmates, Leona, Aika, and Negami. I really can't say that we're all friends 'cause we only talk to each other once in a while, but we all sorta knew each other.
"What's up?" Ashley asked, cheerful, like always.
"Goin' to lunch, no dah." Leona, who was quiet and really pessimmistic, didn't like Ashley very much because of her cheerfulness. She couldn't stand the way she asked "What's up?" even though she obviously knew what the other person was doing. She loved saying 'no dah', as if she knew better then everyone else.
"Don't be so mean, Leona!" Aika, Leona's best friend, was always by her side. Like Ashley, she was outgoing and funny, and loved wearing sparkle shirts and sexy short skirts. She was kinda ditzy, but totally hot. She worked out her long, luscious legs every chance she got.
Negami, the only other guy there, was one of those save-the-whales and hug-the-trees kind of guys. He was way too nice, but, surprisingly, he never got picked on for it. He took Judo, and, like Ashley (wow! everyone's like Ashley!), he could be very violent.
Ashley, Aika, and Negami chatted pleasantly as we walked to lunch, while Leona and I remained quiet.
"Yeah, it was totally creepy." I heard Negami say. "There was this voice, like ice, that said it wanted to kill me."
Everyone stopped as if there was a convoy of trucks blocking our way. I whipped my head around to face Negami, as did all the others.
"I had that dream too!" we yelled in unison. "No way!" we said together, looking at one another with bugged out eyes.
"Are you serious!?" I hissed. "You all saw that place too?"
"Yeah, with all the wierd animals?" Aika chimed in.
We quickly decided that this wasn't the time to discuss this. We were gonna get detentions if we were any later anyway. So we decided we'd meet at my house after school and talk about it.
'What's going on!?' I asked myself as I walked home through the thick snow later that day. 'Is there somthing about us five that causes us to have that dream, or do other people have it too? Guess I won't get any answers till I get home'
