Chapter 2:-In The Dream World

I sat up in bed, sweating all over. I was still wearing the clothes I had worn to school. But I still had the fangs I had aquired in my so called 'dream'. The odd thing was sunlight didn't seem to bother me. I didn't truley believe in Vampire's as such but I knew the odd facts about what they were supposed to be like. Well the stereotyped ones anyway.

Then I heard it, a more beautiful sound, soothing me back into a deep, content sleep. So I slept. And I dreamt.

I was in a long binding corridor. It seemed to be more like a huge house. I looked down and I could see that I was high up, somehow something was calling me to a room further down the corridor. I followed it caustiously. I looked around the hallway.The wall was dark red with wooded panels along the bottom half. Large pictures of fantasy worlds and creatures were on the painted bit. It looked brand new.

I came to the door, it seemed so inviting to me. I wrapped my fingers over the cold brass handle, gave a sharp twist and entered. Inside came as a shock. There was Takato, Kazu and Kenta on one side of a huge desk. Takato was dressed in a white shirt and black jeans, as were the other two except their shirts were a dark blue for Kenta, and a black for Kazu. They didn't greet me as they normally did, just acknowledged my presence. On the other side stood Jeri and Rika. Jeri was wearing a long white dress with a golden sash around it. Rika had probaly objected to the dress, she was wearing a knee length skirt and three-quarter arms black blouse. Her her was in a low ponytail this time, and I had to say it, she looked nice like that. I looked down at my own clothes and noticed I was wearing a shirt and black jeans too.

I walked over to the other guys but didn't say anything, as Takato put his finger to his lips. I could tell from here he was a little nervous about the whole situation.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the door I had just come through, and the chair that was besdie the desk we were standing nearspun round, as if it were greeting it's owner. A high pitched feminine voices echoed throughout the room, in a laugh. Then a girl of about fifteen appeared in front of us.

"Hello, you must me the new recruits." She said smirking, it wasn't a question but I had no idea what she was on about.

"What do you mean, new recruits?" Rika asked

"I mean you are my new team. The last one I can recruit then there must be another Vampire queen unless you succeed, then I can continue being Queen." She said, as if she had said it or heard it more than a million times.

"How do we succeed?" I asked

"By passing a test. By the way, i'm Queen Aryadney." said the female on the chair. 'At least we know her name' I thought.

"What else would you like to know about me, Mr Wong?" She said.

"You can read minds." was the pitiless answer I came up with.

"Yes I can. Well shall I tell you who I am? Of course you already know my name, but let me begin my story. I was bought here, to this world, when I was fifteen, scince then I haven't aged a day in my appearence but I am actually 1235 years old. I still act like a teenager, look like a teenager and so on. You see, when you become a Vampire that is the age you seem to appear to everyone else. This world, My World, is the Dream World. Where you will meet people of your own age, and how you will travel to new dimensions. I created this, where we are. I was crowned Queen Of The Vampires at 200 years. My other teams have not been worthy, so I am hoping you will." Aryadney said simply. "By the way, on opur missions, you can call me Ayren.That was my name before I became what I am."

"Why did you pick us?" Jeri asked fearfully.

"Jeri dear, don't be frightened. While you are here no-one can harm you. Well no-one can harm you anyway as Vampires are immortal. I picked each of you very carefully, as you all know each other I thought you'd be a little happier with your friends. You each possess a certain special quality that greatly appeals to me. For example Henry is a pacifist. He's strong, but never willing to hurt anyone unless it's under certain circumstances. Rika, you are the opposite. Strong and willing to fight when called upon. Open-minded and opinionated. Also a carefree and sensitive young girl. Jeri, you are what we call the 'sweety' of the group. Loving, kind and funny. The others quality's should stand out to you."

"So what do you want us to do?" I asked, I was far more confident now.

"well you'll find out when the time comes. You'll be called back here when you are neede. But I think thats enough questions for today. Goodbye." and with that she cackled and flew out of the room in the same sort of way she had appeared.

Suddenly, as if by magic, each one of us fell to the floor. But it didn't stop at the floor we just kept on falling.

I jumped up in bed, and once again bought my hand to my teeth. The fangs were there, but hardly noticiable. Was all that a dream, or was it for real? Was I now immortal too?

So, what did ya think? Please review! Thanks!
