Chapter 3: Dreams.

I could see her, it was a darkened shadow, but I could tell it was her from all the stories I have heard.
"Mama!" I cried out, running forward to try to grasp her outstretched hand. I ran and ran and she just went further away. I turned around, and saw my father's darkened shadow, he was leaving too. I didn't mind as much, he was evil from what I heard. I saw my brother. and I ran as fast as I could towards him. I caught him and embraced him.
"Piers!" I cried into his chest. I looked up at him and saw the familiar blue hair and his blue eyes.
"What's the matter little one?" he asked.
"I miss you," I said.
"You should know that I'll always be there," he said, "And as long as we still help one another."
"But you're so far away," I said, "I miss you."
"It's normal to miss someone you care about. All you need to do is find some family wherever you are," he said.
"Where I am?" I asked, "I am on a spaceship! As an ambassador, I do travel."
"Just what you dreamed about little one," he said, rocking me softly against him. He began to hum a tune in dragon tongue. I closed my eyes and relaxed against my big brother. He was so warm and I loved him a lot.
"See?" he asked, "You'll do fine, all you need to do is find someone as a temporary like, brother figure, I just don't want you to replace me, okay?"
"Yeah, I guess, I miss you still though," I said.
"You'll be fine, goodbye for now. I'm sure you'll call again," he said, and stood up and began to back away.
"Don't go yet!" I cried, reaching for him. I felt pain once again as I watched him slip into the darkness.
"Piers!!! Please, don't go!" I cried. The blackness began to engulf me.
~Kat~
I sat up, sweaty and trembling. It wasn't a bad dream, no, just. I had to watch everyone go. I never knew my mother or father too well. They died when I was young, well, that's what I'm told, that I didn't even have any time to form any memories of them when they were around, which wasn't long.
"Kat? Are you okay? Did you have a bad dream?" a voice asked. Oh, that's right, Hoshi is sharing a room with me tonight, because I might be staying as her roommate should I choose to stay here. I looked over at her; she was in some pajamas and reading by a small light in her bed. She must have recently gotten off of work.
"Oh, I'm fine, I just had a dream about my brother," I explained. I felt I could trust her, she was nice.
"You have a brother? Older or younger?" she asked.
"Well, he's older than me," I said.
"Well, if it was a bad dream, which I hope, it wasn't. Come on over here and let's talk. I have time," she said. I scooted out of bed, and she took me into her arms, sitting up on her bed.
"I don't want to disturb your rest Miss Hoshi," I said.
"Call me Hoshi and its no trouble at all. I could hear you crying when I came in," she said, "Do you miss your brother?"
"Yep, he's my only family," I said, "I mean, I have godparents, but they aren't real family. Big brother is my best friend."
"What's his name?" Hoshi asked.
"His name is Piers," I said proudly.
"Is he an ambassador like you?" she asked. I shook my head.
"No, he's a water adept!" I explained.
"Um, wow. What's 'water adept'?" she asked.
"He can manipulate water and ice like me, and it comes from Mercury. I am different though, I am also a wind adept, and I draw my power from Jupiter too," I said.
"So, that's why you can be here by yourself, you have special powers," Hoshi said with a relieved laugh. At least, I think she was relieved, for some reason. I smiled at her warmly, she was really sweet.
"Thanks, but I'm still in training. You should see my brother though. He killed a lot of Huintakas!" I said, smiling at the thought.
"Okay, what are Huintakas?" she asked, "You've already used the word once before if what the Captain told me is true, but that word is really unusual, and I'm a translator!"
"Oh, sorry. Its dragon tongue for a type of monster that exists, and I think it has some sort of tendency to. I think. it's really ugly!" I explained. It was, and I wasn't about to forget the first time I met one. It was really horrid, and smelled bad. To my surprise, Hoshi was laughing.
"I'm sorry, it's just, and you get so passionate about that sort of thing, don't you?" she said, and smiled at me, attempting to suppress a yawn. I snuggled closer.
"You're warm," I said, changing the subject entirely.
"Huh?" she asked.
"I mean you're warm. Like a mom. I like you. I like you a lot," I said, and felt myself relax.
"Well, I like you too," she said, "I wouldn't mind if you stayed."
"Really? I think I'd like it here. There are lots of interesting people, and I know a lot, so I can help out too. I don't want to be a useless guest," I said.
"Okay. But, promise me you'll teach me a language you know, maybe Dragon?" she asked.
"Well, maybe. but it's really hard to learn. Maybe I'll teach you Elf!" I said, and yawned.
"Sounds fine. We'd better get to sleep. oh," she said, realizing I had just fallen asleep in her arms.
"Well, then I guess you can stay here with me," she said, and lay down with me in her arms, "Goodnight little one." That was what Piers always called me! I really felt at home. I felt like for now I had some family.
