Chapter 3: Preparation
Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews guys!! I have a few doodles up for those who asked for them. The url is at the end of this chapter.
Kai stood in the emptiness of his dream, staring around at the blackness. He was dreaming he had to be; he's been having nothing but nightmares in the past two weeks.
"KAI!!!" He turned around and saw an image of Julia running towards him, his eyes widened.
No!!! Not again!!!! His mind screamed then he felt his mouth open and shout, "NO JULIA!!!!"
Just then you could hear a zooming sound, and Julia's eyes became wide. And she slowly started to fall to the ground. Kai started running towards her as she fell it was like in slow motion. When she hit the ground her long purple hair covered her head.
"NO!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!" He ran over to her limp body and picked her head up slowly. Her eyes were barely open. In the middle of her back he saw the handle of a dagger. He was too shocked that he couldn't feel sad. But it was building up inside of him to cry, the one thing he has trained himself not to do. But it was so hard!! Not to cry.
"K..Kai?"
He looked down and saw Julia's eyes looking at him.
"…Don't …c..cry…"
"Julia!! Save your breath!! You have to hang in there!!"
Julia eyes threatened to close, but she kept her red eyes focused on him. Before he saw her eyes close she whispered something that could barely be heard. But he heard it.
It's all just a dream….
Kai flung out of his bed and found out that he had another nightmare. He put his hand to his forehead.
"Just another dream," he mumbled as he slipped out of bed and walked out on his balcony of his mansion. He looked up at the full moon and let out a sigh.
*****
Julia hugged her knees as she stared up at the sky; she looked at all the stars and the brilliant full moon. She smiled and buried her head in her knees. How could someone possibly sleep when the next day you'll be going home? The place you haven't been in four years.
I just can't wait…I can't sleep with all the excitement in me!…I get to see everyone again!!! I'll see Crystal and Tyson and Ray!!! And …..Kai…..
Her face flushed and she buried her face deeper in her knees.
"Ah!! I'm so embarrassed; he won't greet me with a kiss!! He would probably grunt and say glad your back and walk away, "she said as she clutched her blushing face, "That's the Kai I know."
'…and love.'
Julia's eyes became wide and looked around, "W..who's there?"
'My name is Flamerion.'
"Alright Flamerion, why are you here?"
'I'm here to guide you.'
"I guess that's pretty reassuring a disembodied voice is here to guide me."
'Oh bite me! I'm going to get a body soon and then I will be by your side.'
"Julia!! If you're done talking to yourself you better come inside it's getting cold out here!" Julia looked up and saw Max standing in the doorway of their house.
"Okay!" She got up from her seat next to the burnt out fire, and jogged over to Max that let her in. She looked back at the place she was sitting and heard and silent whisper.
Soon, Jewel, soon you will be back with the one you care for.
*****
Tolaku decided to rest she had been flying all day long. She had no idea where she was so she landed on one of the roofs of the houses. She must be in a community or something. She gazed at her shadow that was being emitted by the full moon.
"Maybe I should just talk to him, for a second. Yeah, not long, just a short amount of time. I can fly out if I feel like it's been too long." Tolaku looked at the city and sweat dropped.
"First I have to find out where I am."
'Tolaku….'
"Who's that!?!"
'Tolaku…how could you forget me…when I have been by your side ever since you were little.'
"..Tekero? IS that really you…"
'Yes, but I cannot be by your side right now, because I'm stuck on the island. But tomorrow I will come along with the others. We're coming home.'
Tolaku felt her lips curl up in a smile, "Now all I gotta do is find Ray."
'Just follow what's in your heart.'
"I think you've read too much romance novels, Tekero."
'Well, see if I give you advice anymore!'
"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist." Tolaku chuckled and leaped in the air once again. Flying to what she hoped was the right direction. She was looking through all the streets when she noticed to people walking down the street together. She recognized them and landed somewhere near and slid into the shadows.
*****
Tyson and Crystal were walking through the park. It got chilly so Tyson put an arm around Crystal who smiled in return. They walked through the streets and headed in one direction.
"I wonder where Ray could be!?! We've been looking for him all day!!" Crystal huffed.
"Don't worry he'll have to come by my house, cause he's staying there instead of a hotel."
"Yeah, I guess I'll tag along for a little bit."
"That's just fine with me." Crystal looked at Tyson who had a huge smile on his face. She smiled too but not as big as Tyson's smile.
"…What's on your mind Tyson? Other than food."
"Well, now that you mention food," Crystal chuckled and shook her head and Tyson continued, "There's this café that I would like to take you to."
"Like on a date!!" Crystal laughed but when she got no response she looked at Tyson like he was waiting for an answer.
"Oh…you're serious."
"Well?"
Crystal's face flushed, "I guess so."
"Yes!!!" Tyson cheered. They walk on but they didn't see a person with a cloak behind them. You couldn't see their face. But a smile crept upon her face.
"This is too adorable," Tolaku whispered, "Crystal and Tyson, never saw that coming. Especially with Crystal, the one who said she would never go out with a person. She's really changed over the years."
Follow them.
"Don't need to tell me twice!! There are taking me to where I want to go….and where I don't want to go."
Just go with the flow and you'll be okay.
"Thanks."
What would you do without me?
"I'm glad I didn't have to find out."
******
Max woke up to see two red eyes just above him.
"AAHHHH!!!! JEWEL!!!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!?!?!"
"I couldn't go to sleep with all the excitement, and I decided to wait till you were awake so we can go to the temple!"
"You do know that we can't use the thing until noon."
"Yeah!! But we don't know where exactly this temple is!! And I want to make sure that we're there when it's noon!"
"Alright, alright let me my boots and we'll go."
"Here you go!" Julia handed him boots, and gave him a big smile.
Max eyed her as he slipped his boots on, "You've been up too long."
Julia just smiled at him, and skipped out the room.
Author's Note: A little short I know, but it's the only place I could stop. I hope you like this chapter, the next one will definitely be when everyone get together.
