Chapter 2: Damaged Soul

"Importance?" Kizna laid down on her bed, and stared at the ceiling. "Maybe, I really don't know, Ikhny." Kizna blinked constantly. Man, was she ever tired! "Did you have a dream, that you think is important, or worth remembering.?" Kizna yawned, "I'll talk tomorrow. depends. if." Kizna quietly drifted off to sleep, mumbling her words until they quieted to silence.

'That really didn't make any since, and didn't help me either.' Thought Ikhny while she was gazing at the sleeping Kizna. 'She's so carefree. I envy her.' Ikhny too then drifted into sleep.

/// "Wait for me!!" Ikhny ran again after the shadow. Everything around her was a blur and the darkness haunted her. It was cold, and foggy mist made it worse. It was getting harder and harder to breath "Please.wait." Was it Hiead that she was running to? It was worth a shot. "Hiead.!" The shadow was drawing nearer, and she was getting close! Ikhny heard a crack and then a snap, which stopped her dead in her tracks. She gasped for air. "Please, don't make me forget.!" She yelled. \\\

Ikhny yawned a good long yawn and stretched her arms skyward before sitting up. "Yes, I won't forget, Hiead." She said to the wall, and then searched deep into her thoughts. 'Remember what?' Ikhny slowly climbed out of bed and looked at her sleeping companions. Kizna was lightly snoring with her mouth open a little, and her hands were infront of her face. She looked peaceful; it even looked as though she was smiling. Saki, on the other hand was moving slightly her head nodding on and off the pillow, and she was mouthing something. Ikhny ended up catching a, 'I'll sleep now. Kizna. bed. sleep. sorry. night. night. sweet. dreams.' she snored in between words, which made Ikhny smile.

Ikhny grabbed her glasses and went into the bathroom to wash up and take a shower before they woke up. 'Last night's.dream.was kind of like the one I had with Kizna.though I was scared this time.I thought I was going to die.' Ikhny reached her hand into the warm running water, it felt so soothing, and now the bath was almost full so she was preparing to get in. Suddenly when she was about to take off her night clothes, a fuzziness hit her and.

/// "Please stop!!" She covered her ears with her hands. "AAHH!!" She let out a high a piercing scream, that probably all GOA could hear." \\\

Ikhny felt herself drop to her knees. (Kizna and Saki rushed to her side) She couldn't see anything but blurs. The ground was just a bigger blur. What was she screaming about? She didn't know. Dark shadows swooped around her arms. She screamed again. "Get off of me!!"

Kizna shook Ikhny again. "Wake up Ikhny . ! Ikhny. !!" Kizna was almost to tears. Her best friend was screaming on the bathroom floor, and pushing her away.

Ikhny felt tears come. She was afraid . though of what? Maybe it was just the shadows and blurs. She was still afraid though. Ikhny thought that she heard her name being called off at a distance, though she couldn't seem to gather the energy to stand up. The shadows were still there, hanging about her shoulders and arms and occasionally sending cold chills up her back. She closed her eyes and covered them with her hands. When she took them off she .

"Ikhny? Are you okay?" Saki comforted her the best she could. "Everything's going to be alright. Relax, you're so tense!" Saki rubbed Ikhny's arm.

"Ikhny?" Kizna asked softly. Ikhny had her hand a few inches from her face, just incase she might have to cover her eyes up again. "Kizna?" She added, her voice hoarse. She was shaking, and trying not to brake down and cry. "Is that, you?" She voiced, looking at her hands.

"Yes, I'm here. Can you stand?" Ikhny stammered. "I.I." Then she dropped her hands, and was back to normal. "Yes, I can stand!"

Kizna smiled gently. "That's good. You had us worked up for a minute." Ikhny stood up, and Kizna and Saki did as well.

"What happened to you Ikhny?" Saki said looking concerned.

"I truly don't know. I was going to get in the bath, but . " Her feet were warm beneath her. "Oh my! I left the water on!" Ikhny raced over to the bath, and turned the handle till the water cut off, and she heard a crack. "Oh, this isn't good!" Ikhny panicked, she had stepped on her glasses! "When did these get on the floor?" She picked up her shattered glasses. "I can't read without them!" Ikhny was still panic stricken. It would take her a while to get a new pair. "No, no, no!"

Kizna and Saki just stared at their probably-going-mad roommate. "Ikhny?" Kizna still was amazed at how quickly she recovered, though she was acting terribly odd, and she is the type of person who wouldn't forget things like turning off the water, and misplacing her glasses.

"It's okay, I can do without them, I'll just have problems reading the words on the control panel.oh dear that might not be good!" Ikhny went panic stricken again, and then rushed out of the bathroom. She got dressed quickly, combed her short brown hair and said quietly, "I have somewhere I want to be! I'll see you guys at breakfast!" She ran out into the hallway, leaving her glasses behind. It was three hours until breakfast started, so not a lot of people were awake yet.

Ikhny ran for the observatory. She opened up the door, and no one was in there. 'Good.' She thought. She shut the door, and sat on the bench in the front row. She leaned forward, resting her head on her hands. She sighed. Zion was so beautiful. Why couldn't Victim leave it alone and go somewhere else? She sighed again. She dropped her left arm off of her leg because it was falling asleep. Sleep. She didn't get much of that last night. She woke up in a cold sweat even if she didn't have a dream.

The observatory door opened and then closed, and Ikhny turned her head to see who came in, but there was no one there. So, she went back at looking at Zion. Pretty Zion. 'I am acting so odd lately. what's wrong with me?' She stared at her feet. 'I feel like something's been taken away from me.'
