(sorry its so short, one of those mini chapters, and sorry, my word is gone had to put it in text format..damn comp!) **************************************************************************** *************************************** a small chuckle was heard in the darkened palace. Hearing the small voice as it bounced off the glass like walls, and hit the ears of the unconscious white haired boy. Slowly, he winced, feeling bindings wrapped around him..so familiar, and yet. Suddenly snapping open his gaze, and looking ahead, round, into the darkness, but there was a light that surrounded him. Looking at what bound him, seeing the chains. They where so cold. So cold that they stung the skin, and pierced to the bone, causing him to let out a small groan. The laughter stopped as soon as the small sound escaped his lips, and slowly, a small shadowed form walked up towards him. he felt its presence, knowing it was there, just beyond the boundaries of the light. A small giggle now as a voice spoke out, its tone changing with every letter, seeming to be confused of what it was exactly, remaining hidden, confusing him. "Your awake, finally" the voice said, whether it was a boy or girl he couldn't tell. this was the one! the one who had caused all of this once beautiful land of dreams to become so morbid and forbidden. struggling now he tried to get closer, tried to see. But ina w ay..he knew this person, but who was it?! He couldn't remember. "I want to play!, who next who next? I already have that pretty girl!" He snapped his gaze towards the voice again, and gasped. "Rini?!" he asked aloud towards the shadowed form, and it simply giggled once more. So his premonition had come true..she was here, no he had failed her, he wished to protect her, and was used to only draw her in. "you want to see her?" The voice said once more, curiouse now. Of course he did!, wishing to have nothing more. Years had passed since he saw her, her smile her pink hair..innocent, and such beautiful dreams, that had held him safe for so long. the memory coming back, but he was pulled out of his thoughts quickly when he heard her voice. "pegasus" Rini's voice whispered, stepping into the light, smiling towards him, she looked just as he remembered, so small so fragile. Watching her, glancing around, could this be? she hadn't changed a bit..maybe it wa s her wish to appear so in the dream world, after all it was her dream, and you could do as you wished..almost as you wish. "Pegasus, It's been so long, I've missed you so" running towards him, holding out her arms for his embrace, but not touching him yet, letting him finish the gap between them "He sighed, the chains where in his mind, how they would not let him touch her, but then realized..they where gone! looking to her now as he stepped forwards. Reaching out his own arms to give her a long awaited hug, feeling her fall into his arms. "Isn't this what you always dreamed of?" she whispered " you and me together, as we used to be..forever, I'll never leave you..I love you" He smiled, about to respond but then stopped. holding her tightly now as he shook his head. After a quick squeeze he let her go and stood up slowly, sighing to himself. "What's the matter? Isn't this what you wanted?" she asked as if hurt, pleading with him in her gaze for him to hold her once more. "Yes, you have successfully recreated one of my dreams, but that is all it is..a dream, you are no more the little maiden that i have grown feelings for, then i am the dark pegasus." He spoke calmly, feeling the chains on him once more, and held up against a wall again. The small rini backed away into the shadows, and hid there, her voice saddened now, crying, but then turning back into the multi toned one of the shadowed figure. "I'll get you soon, soon you will not know the difference, between reality and fantasy. I will trap you in your own dreams, as you have trapped me, but i will make you pay, they will become the nightmares of the rest. Once you believe, i will have you. So many children already here...you can feel them can you hear there cries? they believe there nightmares are real, and so..never will escape...I will make you believe.." and with that, the voice stopped, going back to the giggles as before, walking around its world of terror, watching the many nightmares of the newest inhabitants take place. Admiring them as if it was a garden of beautiful flowers. the screams of the children echoed through his mind, filling through him, causing him to hold back a sob of pain. feeling the poor defenseless children's fears, there pains, his world was dieing, they didn't believe. Where was there pegasus to save them this time? to let them on his back, and fly away from the evil monsters of the dark. to scare away with his light the creatures of untold terror...he was trapped, and helpless..thinking his beloved was one of the others who where stuck in the darkness. Unable to help her, unable to see her light.
