Tears of Twilight
Ch 25
A few hours later, the three prisoners started to stir around in their beds as they were slowly starting to wake. One by one they groggily got up and cleaned themselves up from their last test. "Humph, it looks like I can forget about busting through that door." Thunder thought as he glared at the new steel door. Thunder then shook his head and continued with what he was doing. Cye was still being moody, his persona was of one that said that he didn't exactly wanted to talk to any one. Kaye noticed this, and decided against talking to him at this present time. So instead Kaye sat down on her bed and leaned back onto her head board, as she started to stare at her engagement ring that she gotten from Kento. She promised Kento when she got it that she would never take it off. Kaye then took her left hand and placed it in her right, as her fingers started to play around with the ring.
"Kento, where are you? Are you and the others alright?" Kaye asked quietly with down cast eyes. Both Thunder and Cye heard what she said. Thunder frowned and began to wonder the same thing about Flash and Scorpio. Cye started to feel somewhat guilty of his actions when he woke up that morning. He knew that his sister and Thunder were only concerned. He also knew that even though Kaye was just a little older than him, that he felt that he should be playing the older sibling's role. He could see how miserable and heart broken she was without Kento, but he knew that she wouldn't have to come out and say it, she didn't have to. Cye was about to go over and talk with her when the door opened and Talpa and Jakada walked in.
"Dream Walker, it's time to train your brother." Talpa said as he looked over to her. "Remember, you gave your word that you would train him."
"Talpa, unlike you, I have a sense of honor, I won't go back on my word. I said that I'll teach Cye all that I can about dream walking." Kaye replied coldly as she stood up.
"Impertinent girl!" Talpa shot back angrily as he struck out and hit her. Kaye flinched back as his metal hand came across her face. She then slowly brought her head towards him, and as she did, she touched the side of her mouth and found a small trickle of blood running from it. Jakada gave a satisfied grin as he stood back and watched in amusement, she was showing her spirit again, and he was enjoying it.
"Now I would suggest that we quit wasting time and get right to the training. Unless of course, you have something else to say?" Talpa asked as he kept his eyes on her.
"No, I guess that I'm ready," Kaye replied, "but first there are a few things that I have to let you know before I can start training Cye."
"Fine, then start explaining." Talpa said.
"First of all, we're going to need an anchor." Kaye replied.
"Why do you need an anchor?" Talpa asked curiously. She started to explain the reason for the anchor. As she got into detail about the anchor being basically a beacon for the dream walkers so their spirits won't become lost or trapped in the dream realm, forever. As she was done explaining, she felt that she didn't have to have them know that she didn't tell them everything about dream walking. That way they might have a better chance of staying alive.
"An anchor you say." Jakada asked as he finally spoke. Jakada started to approach her slowly. Thunder and Cye were about to get up, but Talpa raised his hand in warning, and then they slowly sat back down. "You mean something like this!" Jakada grabbed onto Kaye's wrist and squeezed it so hard that her hand came open and he ripped Kaye's engagement ring right off of her hand.
"No! You can't have that! Give it back!" Kaye yelled at him as he enclosed the ring inside of his clawed hand.
"Why, it's not like you're going to need it any time soon." Jakada taunted as he let go of her wrist and walked away.
"I said, give that back!" Kaye seethed as she clenched her fists.
"It'll only give it to you when you're training Torrent, and then I'll take it back each time that you're finished." Jakada replied as he taunted her with it as he put it on a chain that he had around his neck.
"Then give it to me now so I can train my brother!" Kaye shot back.
"Jakada, that's enough! Give the Dream Walker back her ring so we can continue." Talpa said as he motioned for Jakada to hand it over.
"Fine," Jakada replied as he rolled his eyes, "but you're taking all of the fun out of it."
"Just do it." Talpa said as Jakada leaned forward and baited her with it as it hung down from his neck. Kaye glared at him and then reached out for it. As she grabbed onto it, Jakada quickly grabbed her wrist and gave her a seductive smile as he took his other hand and it came undone, and then he brought it around and it closed itself shut. Kaye pulled out of his grip with her engagement ring and his chain in her hand. Jakada grinned as he walked backwards back to where he was before.
"I would suggest that you get started on training your brother Dream Walker, otherwise, your friend will be starting to feel pain." Talpa threatened as he motioned over to Thunder.
Kaye looked over to Thunder with concerned eyes, he gave a nod to tell her that it's ok. Kaye nodded back, "Cye." Kaye said as she looked over to him.
"Yea?" Cye asked as he looked towards her in concern.
"Are you ready?" Kaye asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be, I guess," Cye replied, "what do I have to do?"
"Just sit down in front of me, close your eyes, and relax. I'll do the rest." Kaye replied as Cye did as he was suggested.
Even though it was hard at first for either of them to get relaxed, but they did. Then Kaye closed her hand around her ring and the chain, and finally closed her eyes.

Author's note, anytime when you see * * that's Kaye and Cye talking in the dream realm, as well as any other creatures that show up. Then " " for thoughts. Now back to the fic. lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*I can't see anything! Where am I? Kaye!?* Cye said as he was trying to find his sister.
*Cye, it's alright, everything is going to be ok.* Kaye replied as she was trying to calm him.
*I can hear you, but I can't see you!* Cye said as he started to panic a bit.
*Cye, look straight ahead and tell me what you see.* Kaye replied.
*I don't see anything. Wait, I see it now, it looks like a glowing circle.* Cye said as he started to calm down.
*Good, now go towards it that's the anchor,* Kaye replied, *I'll be waiting for you when you get there.* Cye started towards the circle of light, and then before he knew it, he was standing right next to Kaye.
*I did it!* Cye exclaimed excitedly.
*I knew that you could, Cye.* Kaye replied with a smile.
*Kaye!* Cye said in surprise.
*Cye?* Kaye asked in slight confusion.
*You don't have your collar on!* Cye replied as he pointed that out.
*I know, and neither do you.* Kaye said as she motioned over to his neck. Cye raised his hand to his neck and found that there was no collar on him either.
*But how..?* Cye asked in slight confusion as he lowered his hand.
*See, in the dream realm, everything is different that the real world. It's too much to get into at the moment, but there are a couple of things that you are to keep in mind when you're here, Cye.* Kaye replied as she looked in his eyes with seriousness.
*What are they?* Cye asked as he gave her his full attention.
*First of all, always be aware at all times where the anchor is. Because if you lose sight of the anchor for any reason or any amount of time, you won't find your way back.* Kaye replied.
*Ok, what's the second?* Cye asked as he now understood.
*The second, if for any reason that things get chaotic, and they will, if you feel that you're losing energy, tell me right away.* Kaye started to say.
Cye looked at her rather curiously, *ok, I will but why?* he asked.
*Cye please, it's important that you do so, then as soon as you start to feel weak, I can send over some of my life energy to you.* Kaye replied.
*But if you do that, then won't that leave you weak?* Cye asked in concern.
*Are you ready to start?* Kaye asked back as she was avoiding his question. Cye looked into her eyes with concern. He knew that she wouldn't give him an answer right away, but he had a feeling that he already knew.
*Yea, I'm ready.* Cye replied with a nod.
Kaye gave him a small smile, *ok then, one more thing. Stay close to me.* she said as they disappeared from where the anchor was floating. In a blink of an eye, a sudden wind storm kicked in as soon as they arrived.
*Kaye, is this what I think it is?* Cye asked about the howling winds.
*You got it, it's a sand storm!* Kaye yelled back as the sand storm increased in intensity.
*How do we stop this crazy.,* Cye yelled. Then the winds suddenly stopped, *storm?*
*Cye, get ready.* Kaye warned as she got into fighting position.
*Kaye, ready for what? What's going on?* Cye asked as he too got into a fighting position.
*Keepers of lost dreams.* Kaye replied as her eyes narrowed into angry slits.
*What?!* Cye asked in confusion. Just as he asked, creatures that looked like they were made out of nothing but pure sand stared to gather around them.
*Whatever you do, Cye, don't let them catch you!* Kaye replied as she heightened her guard. Just before Cye could ask, hands burst out towards them from underneath the sands.
*Kaye, what are these things?* Cye asked as he and Kaye were jumping to avoid the fields of hands that were starting to shoot up towards them.
*I told you, they're called the Keepers of lost dreams. They hunt for lost dreams in the dream realm and feed on them for their survival. If they feed onto your lost dreams, then they become solid, as well as life energy.* Kaye explained as they were trying to get from being closed in by the approaching Keepers of lost dreams.
*How are we suppose to get away from them? They're everywhere!* Cye asked as he pointed it out.
*Yea I know, you don't have to remind me.* Kaye replied.
*We can't just keep running, there has to be a way to fight these things.* Cye said as he got out of the way from being grabbed from behind.
*There is, but first we need to put up a barrier of some kind.* Kaye replied as they continued to advance towards them.
*Then as soon as the barrier's up, that'll give us a short amount of time to..Ah!* Just then a sand wall came between them separating the two.
*Kaye!* Cye yelled as he fell back.
*Cye!* Kaye yelled back as she stumbled and then fell.
"Damn, I took too long!" Kaye thought angrily as she quickly got to her feet and stared at the separating sand wall, as she was trying to figure a way back to him.
"Now what do I do?" Cye thought as he started to panic.
*Kaye, can you hear me?* Cye yelled as he got back up and looked around.
*Yea Cye, I can hear you, are you ok?* Kaye yelled back.
*So far. But I don't know what to do! They're coming!* Cye yelled as he saw the Keepers of lost dreams coming for him.
*Cye, you need to create a dream barrier, then they won't be able to get a hold of you!* Kaye yelled back.
*How do I do that?! I don't know if I can!" Cye yelled as they were coming closer.
*Cye, you have to! I know that you can! All you have to do is dig deep and put your concentration on forming one, and then call out the word barrier!* Kaye yelled back.
Just as Cye was going to call his barrier, he felt that something wasn't right. He didn't like this feeling at all. *Kaye,* Cye called out. No answer, he tried again, *Kaye!* Again, nothing but dead silence. Cye started to panic, what happened to her? Did the Keepers of lost dreams get a hold of her? He saw that they were still coming, Cye knew that he didn't have a choice, he had to form the dream barrier. So he closed his eyes, and dug deep inside and then he felt something that he couldn't quite describe. A new source of energy, it was different, but at the same time it felt familiar as well. He then quickly snapped his eyes open and called out the word barrier. Just as he called his dream barrier, a light blue ora covered him just as the Keepers of lost dreams were about to grab for him. As soon as they reached out towards Cye, their hands disintegrated as soon as they hit Cye's ora. Cye felt somewhat better that he was protected but he had a feeling deep down in the pit of his stomach that Kaye might be in trouble.
*CYE!* Kaye yelled in a panic, as the adrenaline made her to finally brake through the wall of sand.
*Kaye, you're all right!* Cye said in relief as she stood up. *I thought that...*
*I'm all right, Cye. I thought that you were hurt or something.* Kaye replied as she had a dream barrier around her too. She looked over at him from the corner of her eye, and smiled, *I see that you have your barrier up.*
*Yea I guess that I do. But I'm confused about something.* Cye said as he glanced over at her as the Keepers of lost dreams were still advancing towards them.
*What is it?* Kaye asked as they were staying close to each other.
*When I was getting my barrier, I felt something familiar. I felt...Your life energy.* Cye replied as he finally realized what happened. *Did you..?*
*Yea, I did transfer some of my life energy to you. Don't look at me that way. I had to, I had this feeling that you were going to need it.* Kaye explained.
*Are you..?* Cye started to ask in concern.
*I'm ok. Now do you wanna know how to kick these guys' ass or not?* Kaye replied with a smirk.
*Yea.* Cye said as he started to get ready to kick major ass.
*Ok, did they try and reach for you when you brought up your barrier?* Kaye asked.
*Yea they did, but when that happened, their hands disintegrated,* Cye replied, and then it hit him. *Oh.* as he grinned and got ready to fight with her.
*Ready?* Kaye asked as she glanced over at him.
*Yea, let's bring it to them!* Cye cheered as they charged at the Keepers of lost dreams. With their barriers up, Cye and Kaye stood much better chance against them than when they didn't have their dream barriers. Just as soon as the fight started it finished just as quickly, leaving the two of them alone.
*You know that we have to go back don't you?* Kaye asked with a sadden heart.
*Yea, I know.* Cye replied as he felt disappointed in leaving. Because this was the first time ever since they've been captured, and the convergent dream that they all shared, he actually felt free. Free of the pain, free from the sorrow, free from everything.
*Ready?* Kaye asked as she looked over towards him.
*Ready.* Cye replied as they both disappeared from the dream realm and back to the place that he considered hell.
==============================================================
Both Cye and Kaye quickly jolted awake from his first dream walking session. "Well how did my son do?" Talpa asked as they were realizing that they were back in the room.
"Fine. Cye did fine." Kaye replied quietly.
"I'll take that!" Jakada said as he violently grabbed her engagement ring that was on his chain from her hands.
"NO!" Kaye cried out as she tried to reach for it. "Give it back to me!"
"Beg for it." Jakada said as he swung it in front of her in a side to side motion like a pendulum.
"Kaye, don't!" Thunder replied quickly.
"Please, give it back to me." Kaye said with pleading eyes.
"No." Jakada replied with a cruel smile as he and Talpa left the three in the room.
