Clash! Boom! Lightening streaked across the sky, as thunder shattered the silence of the rain.
He turned to his side at the sound of someone on his far right. As he looked down the bridge, all he saw was a darkened shadowy form standing there, looking his way
What are you looking for?
Seto shot up in his bed, panting as he did. That dream again, he thought as he lifted his hand to his head. He pressed it against his forehead, pushing his chocolate bangs out of the way. Why do I keep having it? What des it mean?
When Seto finally came downstairs, dressed and ready for the day, Mokuba was already up and heading out the door.
"Oh, 'bout time you got up bro! C'mon! We're gonna be late," Seto sighed; he hadn't even had anything to eat yet. Oh well, it's not like it would have lasted me the day anyways, he thought as he grabbed his school bag and followed Mokuba out the door. Something told him this wasn't going to be too good of a day.
"Stori! Get down here now! You're going to be late, and if I get one complaint from your teachers, you are grounded for a month!" Stori's mom yelled up the stairs.
Seconds later Stori came zipping down the stairs, dressed and ready fro the day ahead. She quickly kissed her mom good-bye and ran out the door.
When she got to the end of the driveway she saw Lana waiting for her, "Lets go!"
As they both jogged down the sidewalk, two blocks away from Domino High, a black car flew past them and quickly turned the corner.
"Cool, pant looks like…huff…we'll be at school at the same time…Seto-shama will," Lana exclaimed happily between huffs and puffs of breath.
"No time for your little fantasies Ana-san, we still have to get to school before we do anything else," Stori said looking back at her friend. (Stori had been running faster than Lana was.)
When they finally came to the school, they both stopped at the front doors to catch their breath.
Today is DEFINITELY going to be a bad day, Stori thought as she stood to her full height and pushed open the doors to Domino High.
When she got inside, however, she stopped. Something was wrong…very wrong. Stori looked at her watch and saw that it was only 7:45, school hadn't even begun yet…so…where were all of the students? Lana looking down the hall in confusion as well.
"What's going on?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the hallway. Stori gave her friend a shocked look. Lana had been going to Domino High way longer than she had, and if Lana didn't know anything about everyone absences, then she didn't know what to think.
"Seto-shama should have been here," Lana suddenly spoke up, tearing Stori's thoughts. Lana took a step forward. Suddenly, without thinking about it, Stori reached out her hand called for Lana, even though she was right in front of her. She saw Lana sink into the distance, and then, without warning, everything around them shattered and Lana began to fall. Stori, whom still seemed to be standing on land, fell to her knees and reached for Lana, who was screaming and reaching forward with all her might.
Then, before Stori knew it, she was the one falling…and Lana was the one reaching out for her. Huh? Somehow, Stori had taken Lana's place in the fall and was now falling away into the darkness below, her friend slowly disappearing before her eyes as she felling deeper and deeper into the abyss.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Came a shrieking sound. Stori slowly opened her eyes to see her sealing above her…her bedroom sealing. She shot forward and looked at her clock beside her bed: it was 7:45.
"Holy crap!" Stori sent the covers of her bed flying off of her as she jumped out of bed and grabbed her now clean school uniform. In a slight hurry, Stori ran into the bathroom and stripped.
Practically forcing on her uniform, Stori quickly ran back out of the bathroom and grabbed her book bag; stopping before her mirror to make sure she wasn't going outside and forgetting to put on something. Having that taken care of, Stori zipped down the stairs and ran out the door without saying good-bye to her mom.
When she got to school, she hesitated for a moment before opening the school doors. Eventually she conjured up the courage and opened them, revealing a cluster of students going to their lockers and talking happily with eachother. Stori sighed with relief. Hopefully this wasn't what she feared it was…
Kind of a short and confusing chapter I know, but I just wanted you to try and tell the difference between a dream and reality. 'Cause most of the times in fanfics people always have the dreams in italics, right? (Kind of like what I did with Seto's dream at the top there) Well in this one I wanted to test you and see what you would do if you read a dream without the italics. Tell me what you think in your reviews!
