Chapter 7

T.K leaft quickly, pretending not to notice Yolie. T.K wanted to stay, however Kari insisted he go.

Kari's uncle called the cops and allowed Yolie to lay on the couch. He got her an ice pack and some water. Yolie thanked him like there was no tomorrow, which sometimes got a giggle out of him.

Kari layed back in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She couldn't believe what had happened. Ken turned on her and nearly killed her, her friendship with T.K was rekindled, and Davis was in the hospital, possibly for his last hours.

She kept rethinking through everything she had gone through since arriving, and wondered if it meant something. Maybe she was there for a reason, perhaps some kind of destiny.

But what? What kind of purpose did she serve in this town?

It kinda made sense, however it seemed unlikely. How was she any diffrent from anyone else?

In actuality, she felt rather inferior to her peers. She felt weak and insignifigant when compared to others.

Of course if she ever told Tai that, she would be in for one hell of a lecture.

She decided to forget about it and go back to sleep.

Sleep did not come easy, in fact it took a few minutes but eventualy she made it.

******************************************************

Kari was bewildered as she saw herself in school. She was in the hallway with Ken, no memory of what had happened earlier.

"Hey Kari, how are you today?"he asked.

"I'm fine"said Kari shyly.

"That's good to hear"said Ken.

"Hey Kari!"said T.K running up to them.

"Hi"said Kari.

Ken gave a cold stare, however neither T.K or Kari noticed.

"What are you guys standing here for? School's out"said T.K.

"Yeah, guess I forgot. Ken, wanna walk home with me and T.K? It'll be fun!"said Kari.

"Sure, fine with me"said Ken.

They walked down the hall, Kari for some reason not talking to either one.

However as they walked through the exit door, they found themselves in another classroom.

"What the hell?"said Kari.

"Okay, we'll just go another way"said T.K as they walked back through, only to find themselves in the gym.

"We'll never get out!"said Kari.

"This is getting ridicolous"said T.K.

Kari dashed ahead as she saw another door, T.K and Ken appearing right next to her even though she hadn't seen them catch up.

When they went through it, they found a slim hallway just big enough to walk through, with yellow walls and grey ceilings with a Black cement floor. It had dozens upon dozens of doors.

"Where's Davis?"asked Ken.

Before Kari could ask why he would ask such a thing at suvh a time, she saw a truck go across the doors, and Davis lying on the floor in a bloody mess.

"Davis!"she gasped running up to him.

She kneeled down beside him, and checked his pulse, nothing.

"Davis, I'm sorry, sorry I neglected you so much"said Kari begining to cry.

A hand came from the floor and dragged him under.

This struck a think cord in Kari, and she covered her face sobbing though she felt no tears coming out.

She tried to scream but her voice was too low. She turned to see what Ken and T.K were doing, however both of them were gone.

"Where are you guys?"she asked.

She peeked her head into one of the doors, only to find her entire body inside of it. She was in the cafeteria, where she saw Ken and T.K eating.

"What in the name of God?"she asked walking up to T.K and Ken, only for them to be other people when she made it. She looked around and saw them leaving and chased after them.

For some odd reason she fell and had to crawl after them, but was right behind them none the less. When she got through the doors that Ken and T.K went through, she found herself back in the hall way, with Davis walking down the halls!

She ran down to see him bewildered by his return.

"Davis, how did, are you allright?"

"Why do you care?"

"Davis, I'm sorry I neglected you in the past, but we can be friends now"

Davis simply walked away from her.

"Come back!"pleaded Kari with tears in her eyes, though she didn't feel them.

She practicly ran right into him, and found herself standing in the cafeteria once again.

"I hate this! I just wanna go home damn it!"screamed Kari, though the scream was extremely low on volume.

However, to her horror, Moninoke, Sakura and Jun were at the end of the cafeteria and chased after her.

Kari ran for the doors, however she was once again in the cafeteria, with Moninoke and the others still dead on her tail.

She went through the doors again, this time in the weird halls. Sakura came through one door behind her, Moninoke and Jun in one in front of her. Kari immidiately went into the door next to her, and saw Ken and T.K. They were all in a darkness, nothing but darkness, except for the floor which was like a fog.

But everything else was just dark, yet they were all easily seen.

"I need your help, these three girls are after me. I don't have time to explain, but we need to get out of here"

"I agree, however there is no exit"said Ken.

"WHAT!"gasped Kari.

"No exit, no entrance, we can't escape"said Ken.

"Then, what do we do?"asked Kari.

"I wish I knew. I guess we just go with the flow. Maybe we can go back to class"said T.K.

Kari looked around for an exit, however there was none.

"There's no way out!"gasped Kari.

To Kari's horror, Ken morphed into a giant Green lizard with spikes on it's back. He swallowed T.K whole, and to make things worse Moninoke, Jun, and Sakura appeared behind her.

"Game over kid"said Moninoke.

"It can't be!"gasped Kari.

She was surrounded, helpless.

"No, this can't be it! I don't wanna die!"she screamed in her mind.

That's when Kari felt a sensation inside of her, a sensation like none she ever felt. She felt in control, felt like she could beat them.

"You want some of me!"said Kari.

Her clothes merged together into a Pink getup.

"Allright, this is what I'm talking about"thought Kari.

Kari waved her hand, sending a beam of light slashing through all three of them. Then she flet herself fly into the air, and she blasted Ken into pieces.

"Whoa, I did it! Awesome, I'm somekind of super hero! But who should I be?"she thought.

***************************************************

Kari jolted up in bed, causing her kidneys pain, however she gave a very small scream.

She wiped the sweat off of her forehead.

"It was just a dream. A strange dream. But, somehow I was in control. I became somekind of hero. Awesome, if this keeps up I won't have nightmares for very long"said Kari.

That's when it struck her, like lightning. She had killed them in her dream. Obliterated them comepletely, leaving nothing leaft.

It may have been a quick and relatively painless death, but she had killed them. Was this her inner most desires? Was she a killer like Ken? Was that what the dream was telling her? Was her destiny she thought so much about to be a killer?

Her kidneys felt better, and she was thirsty so Kari stood herself up and walked down the stairs.

It hurt to walk, however not enough to keep her from getting a drink. She noticed that it was night time outside. Her dream took that long?

Remembering back, her dream did feel rather long.

"What are you doing Kari? Thinking about dreams, who cares?"she thought to herself.

She expected to see her aunt and uncle, or at least Tai downstairs however she saw no one. Were they asleep, or away?

She saw her uncle's rifle was nowhere to be seen, so it must've have been hung back up.

She staggered into the kitchen and took a glass of water out of the cupboards. She turned on the sink andfilled the glass with cold water.

Oh it felt so good, yet so addictive going down her throat. It was like itching a mosquito bite.

So she filled it up again, gulped it, and again when she was finally satisfied.

She wiped the water off of her mouth.

Oh how refreshing that was!

"I wonder what time it is?"said Kari as she looked at the clock.

It read 9:45.

"I thought it was later. I wonder where everybody is?"asked Kari.

There was a knock at the door, which startled Kari.

"Who would be knocking at a time like this?"asked Kari.

She staggered towards the door and opened it.

"Are you Kari Kamiya?"asked the man.

"Yes, who are you?"

Kari was quickly punched in the kidneys, and carried off and stuffed into the back of a truck. Before she could scream for help, the back of the truck was closed and the truck drove off.

The End
