Chapter 11
Memories Part 2
Sakura stared down at Jen, as she collapsed to the ground. The person who had been standing behind her was a girl, and at the moment she wasn't looking so hot, seeing how she fell to her knees and panted heavily. "LEAVE JEN ALONE!!!" cried Sakura. The boy looked up at her and made a motion with his arm. The roots that held her began to shrink. Slowly she became free.
She faced the boy ready to fight.
"I don't want to hurt you," said the boy holding up his hand.
"You've got a funny way of showing it," said Sakura her teeth gritted.
The boy sighed, as Sakura summoned her wand.
"I really don't have time for this," mumbled the boy.
"Leave Jen alone!" cried Sakura.
"I'm-We're not gonna hurt her," said the boy.
"Sure whatever."
"I'm telling the truth."
"Then why'd you do that to her huh!?" asked Sakura smartly.
"Because she was about to take out five city blocks that's why."
"What?" Sakura frowned, 'What the hell was this guy talking about?'
"It's hard to explain, listen we have to get Jen out of here before--"
A loud screech rang through the air and the earth began to rumble.
"-That happens," finished the boy.
Sakura fell to ground unable to stand because it was shaking so much.
"Uh a little help?" asked the boy motioning to his partner.
"Uh I'm a little drained at the moment," said the girl.
A huge black bird soared over-head.
"How long do you think it will take before you can get us out of here?"
"Give me five minutes and I'll have enough charge."
"Good," said the boy glancing around.
"And what about her?" asked the girl motioning to Sakura.
"What about her?"
"Oh come on, you can't just leave her here," said the girl.
"Fine I'll do the stupid protection spell if it makes you happy," grumbled the boy, "But you have to explain this all to her when we get back."
"Deal."
"Good. Now don't move," said the boy motioning to Sakura.
Sakura frowned what was he going to do? Sakura didn't have to wait long for the answer. Suddenly a bright golden light surrounded Jen, the girl, the boy and herself creating a half circle.
Sakura looked around wide eyed. Had the boy done all this? She looked to the boy he was sweating and his hands were raised in the air as if he were holding up the force-field.
Sakura looked towards the girl her face was calm and her eyes were closed. Suddenly WHAM! A large black winged creature rammed into the force field. It screeched with pain and fly around and struck again. This time Sakura could feel the force field wavering. She looked back at the boy, he was sweating heavily and his face took on the look of strain. He WAS holding up the force field!
"Are you ready yet!" he gritted through his teeth.
The girl opened her eyes.
"Yes."
"THEN LETS GO!!!!"
The creature circled in for another attack. Sakura's eyes widened in fear. She felt someone grab her hand. The creature was less the twenty feet from them. It screeched. Sakura felt a funny jerk, and everything went dark.
"I can't believe it! How could you!"
"It wasn't like we had a choice, they were targeting her too."
"But really! Now how are we going to explain this!"
"Listen, we were just sent to retrieve her, you never said we couldn't take more than one person."
Jen slowly opened her eyes, she could faintly make out the voices of two girls.
She looked up and around, the place she was in might as well come from a sci-fi novel. It looked like the inside of a futuristic space ship. Everything was made of some type of silver material held together by what looked like glowing blue plastic?
She stood up. Her head pounded. She had to find her way home. She looked around. She was in a room the glowing beams emitting a soft blue glow through the darkness. The door was also futuristic looking. She walked up to it and nearly jumped four feet in the air when it opened upwards all by itself.
"You're awake."
Sakura looked to see two girl staring at her. The first was a taughty red head, her hair was set down and made her look like someone you rather not mess with. The other was a brunette, who had her hair tied in a pony tail, her tired green eyes stared at Jen.
"You okay?" asked the brunette.
"Ya. Who are you and what have you done with Sakura?!" asked Jensuddenly angered.
"Whoa, calm down, you're gonna burst an artery," the red head said.
"Don't worry she's just resting the trip here was a bit of a doosy for her," the brunette walked up to her.
"Umm, where exactly is here?" asked Jen slightly relieved Sakura was okay.
Who ever these people were for some reason she knew that they didn't want to hurt her despite what they had done to bring her here.
"It's a bit hard to explain," said the brunette shaking her head, "We're in a different dimensions space."
"I think I get it," Jen was absolutely confused but for some reason she could tell the brunette would rather not like to explain it.
"Anyway," The red head tossed her hair, "I'm Sarah, you probably don't remember me though."
"We met?"
All this information was really doing a number on Jen's head.
"Yup, you got it," Sarah grinned.
"I'm Liz," The brunette smiled kindly, "Sorry about knocking you out back there."
"Okay I think I got it, you're Sarah, you're Liz, and is Mike here?" asked Jen.
"Oh ya, you already met Mike!" Sarah grinned.
Liz shot Sarah a look.
"What?!"
"And you say I don't know when to shut up."
"NO really what!!!"
Liz sighed and Jen could have sworn she heard her mumble something along the lines of 'why am I doing this again?'
"If it's all the same to you could I see Sakura?" asked Jen.
"Sure, I'll show you to her room," Sarah motioned for Jen to follow her.
As soon as they were out of sight, Liz let out a breath of relief.
"Tough day at the office," said a voice behind her.
"No more than usual," she said without turning around, "And do you have to do that?"
"Do what?" asked the voice.
"Hide in the shadows, like come on Mike," Liz turned around to face him.
"But its fun," he pouted. "Ya well you make it look like you're the bad guy."
"What you mean I'm not!?" said Mike in mock shock. (I can rhyme!)
"Mike."
"Ya?"
"Shut up."
A smirk came as her only reply.
"Here we are!" said Sarah cheerfully.
"Uh thanks," replied Jen.
Jen slowly walked into the room.
"Sakura?" she called out quietly. Jen looked to see Sakura lying on a cot, her chest slowly rising and falling. Each breath labored. Her brow was furrowed and there were numerous bandages on her arms and legs, as well as one that covered half her head and face.
Jen stared at her friend and collapsed to the floor. How could this have happened? Sakura, the only person who had taken her in, the one who had not only accepted her as a friend, but had accepted her as a part of her family. Jen put her head into her hands. She let out a choked sob. She wiped the tears from her face and stood up.
She was angry. At those who had done this, at those kids, but mostly at herself. How could she have let this happen! Sakura had treated Jen like family since day one. Gritting her teeth Jen turned towards the door. She found Liz and Mike conferring something where she had left them.
"What happened to her!" she demanded.
"To Sakura?" asked Liz quizzically.
"Yes!"
"Well..."
Liz turned to Mike her eyes pleading.
"Magical drain," he said emotionlessly.
"Huh?"
"When people travel through dimensions it drains their magical energy, the more magic a person has the less of a drain it is for them. When a person runs out of magical energy to have drained in the process then the dimension shift starts taking physical energies, that is why your friend Sakura is so beat up. This also makes it impossible for people without any magical energy to dimension shift, or surf as we like to call it."
"Will she be okay?" asked Jen.
"She should be. Once her magic returns she'll heal faster, until then she's going to have to remain here."
"You that as if I'm staying here."
"Well..." Mike trailed off.
"You can't make me," Jen said stubbornly.
"It's true we can't make you stay, but-"
"But nothing. Once Sakura is better we're outta here."
"Fine."
"But first I want something."
"Like?"
"The answers to my questions."
"I already told you them," Mike rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about! You told me a bunch of stuff that made no sense at all!"
"I already told you everything!" exclaimed Mike.
"No you didn't! How could you! I don't believe for one second that I came from a different world! I want the truth!"
"You want the truth then I'll give you the truth!" Mike gritted his teeth.
He grabbed Jen by the arm and dragged her down one of the hallways at a quickened pace.
"Mike NO!" cried Liz and she ran after them, "She not ready YET!"
She was too late Mike dragged Jen into one of the rooms and locked the doors. Jen could hear her pounding on the doors.
"Mike. Home!" She heard Mike command out.
Soon the air began to get heavy. Jen's head began to spin, and her vision began to blur. She spun around, Mike was no where in sight. The room began to get dark. With a finally jerk everything went black.
Jen awoke to find herself in the ruins of what seemed to be a once great city. The sky was clouded over, blood red. The once mighty skyscrapers were now only crumbling ruins. The ground was covered in dried blood but it hard to tell because it was so dark. The dark. It loomed everywhere, aside from the occasional bright shock of a lightning bolt, the only light came from a dimly lit sky. Where was she? This had to be nightmare.
"This is no nightmare."
It was Mike. Revealing himself from the shadows, he walked up and stood beside her.
"Welcome home."
Hikki: Oooooo cliffy! Okay so its not really a cliffy but I can dream!!!
Jen: What did you do!!! I'm gonna get killed!!!
Hikki: Aw don't be such a wimp. Oh well I hoped you liked it cause it took forever to write! mumbling Stupid writer's block.
