Danniegirl85- Ok, lemme know when you can email me. Thanks, yes. I really have to plan this story better, I literally only plan the chapters 1 or 2 in advance, which isn't good... I'll probably re-write it when I get a BETA
Milkyneon- Thanks, yup, I'm back from Youth Nationals, but thanks anyway for the luck.hehe, I got 2 top tens and a Champion and reserve champion at the last show. I have to go to Canadian Nationals on Wednesday, but maybe I'll get another chapter in before that. I'll try to make this be an extra long chapter to make up for the time. Though I warn you, I am a very slow typer.
Alright, now on to the story. Sorry the chapter's so short xx
Lani was in a very unfamiliar place, yet she knew exactly where she was and what was going on. She didn't have any control over her movement or thoughts, yet she felt in complete control. She knew she was in the training yard of her mini fort, yet was positive she didn't not have a mini fort in the waking world. But suddenly she wasn't so sure, this was very real. Thoughts flew into her head as she picked up a bow and arrow: nock, pull back, use your mouth as an anchor, aim, release! She was amazed to see that her arrow hit the bullseye, dead center. she did it again, and again , and again. She called a servant to her, it was a young girl of about eight. "fetch my horse, the big black one" the girl obeyed, trotting off towards the stables. She came back quite a while later, a majestic black horse with intelligent features in tow. As the girl curtsied clumsily and ran off, Lani nocked another arrow, but she still had no control over her actions. "Too slow," she declared. The next moment the servant girl was on the ground with an arrow potruding her back, dead.
Lani screamed and woke up,sweating.
Oof.
Lani jumped up and backwards out of bed, wiping the sleep hurridly out of bleary green eyes. She nearly screamed again when she saw a large furry animal at the foot of her bed.
It took her seconds to recognize it as Anna's German Shepherd, Rain. Hmm, why is Rain here? I thought Anna was just staying that one night.. and we leave for Hogwarts in a few hours.
It was only a dream, she told herself. just a stupid dream and a stupid dog. She quickly got dressed and ran downstairs, Rain had already left her and was eating breakfast in a large blue bowl.
Anna was eating breakfast and James was sleepily staring at his food: he looked very hungry but too lazy to eat. Emily Potter was running around the kitchen, putting things away. She picked up a horse bit then remembered to get Lani's breakfast. she dropped the bit in the plate by accident and then said she had no time to make a new one. Lani decided that as much as she liked horses, green stuff in her food was just somehow unappetizing. She ended up stealing one of James' eggs while he was dazed and having her own burnt toast.
As she rushed to get ready for the train to Hogwarts, she couldn't help but think of her dream. Why would she dream about such random Medievil things? Why couldn't she control her actions in her dreams, and why in all hell was she dreaming such morbid things!
When she was packed and ready, she ran downstairs only to find that Anna, too was packed for a trip on the Hogwarts express.
"Er.. sorry, Anna, but do you know I'm leaving for Hogwarts today, right?" Anna looked up from petting Rain, who'd come up to her in the mean time.
"I know, I'm going with you," she said quietly.
You know what's sad? I started writing this after Youth Nationals, and now I'm back from Canadian Nationals and it's FINALLY finished. I'm sorry that it wasn't much after such a long wait, but I currently have a severe case of writer's block.
Oh yeah, and I re-did the first chapter of 'When Dreams come True' If you guys would take a quick peek at it and tell me how you like it, I would be very happy!
Hopefully I'll get the next chapter out faster.. in the meantime, please review!
