chapter6: Sweet Dreams Part 4
Emily was having trouble sleeping after witnessing what she saw. She'd come home and explained everything to Mirai Trunks, and was amazed that the little chaos she caused sensing her brothers energy. She was glad the twins slept through it as she was certainly not in the mood to argue with them to get back to sleep.
"Honey, will you go to sleep? I'm sure Gotens fine." Mirai Trunks groaned. Emily sighed and opened her eyes then faced her husband.
"Sorry sweetheart, I'm just worried that's all. I just don't like the way it happened, he's never used his energy when dreaming before." She sighed.
"Well no ones called you to go back so I'm sure he woke up, felt really stupid then went back to sleep." He said, she nodded.
"Maybe, but I.... never mind. It's nothing, I've just got to ignore it." Emily replied turning the other way, Mirai Trunks put his arms around her.
"What do you mean? Is it about this new energy your sensing?" He asked.
"Yeah, it flared when I sensed Goten. Maybe I'm just worn out, don't worry about it." She replied and slowly but surely drifted off to sleep.
When her vision unfolded, she found herself in a robin egg blue room, lying down. She opened her mouth to talk but found she couldn't. Where am I? Why can't I talk? Oh no, I'm dreaming aren't I? She thought, then stood up. She looked around the room and frowned, it looked vaguely familiar but she couldn't place why.
She slowly looked down at where she was and gasped as she found she was in a cot. She looked at her body to find she was in a baby's form. Looking around the room she suddenly remembered why it looked familiar again. No, not this dream again. I thought I stopped having this years ago. What's going on, I swear I did stop having it. Something's not right here. That energy, I can feel it again. She thought. Suddenly the door opened and her biological mother crept in.
"Emily darling, don't be frightened but I just had a premonition. I am going to die in half an hour, I am no longer strong enough. Your father has found out the truth about you, and he's not pleased. Just stay calm and try and stay away from your father." She whispered. Emily stared at her. I'm stuck in the cot mother, how am I supposed to stay away from him? Just unlock the side of the cot then I can get away. Emily thought, trying to get some body language, but her mother just got up and walked around the room.
Suddenly it was as if someone put the fast forward on the scene, Emily watched in amazement as her mother began zooming around the room yet she was moving as normal. Then the scene began to slow down and Emily's heart began to thump, she knew what was about to happen.
The door slammed open and a deathly white man came storming in. Emily would have been puzzled if she hadn't known who he was, but she stared into the eyes of her sisters demonic father – Aletusis.
"There you are, think you could hide the truth from me witch? Your sadly mistakened, you just met your end here woman!" He yelled grabbing her by the throat, she began gasping for breath. Mom! How can I just stand here and watch her, I gotta do something! Emily thought desperately, tears forming in her eyes as she watched her mother struggle to breathe.
"You can't get away from this Henry, my children will destroy you!" Her mother spat, Aletusis glared at her then began laughing.
"Lauren, one is 18 months, one is three and the other is five. How on this Earth are they gonna destroy me! They won't be living long enough to try. Once I'm through with you I'm gonna hunt them down one by one. Nobody can stop me from reaching my goal." He sneered, placing his hand behind his back. Emily watched helplessly as a six inch dagger appeared from a puff of smoke and gripped the bar as he plunged it into her chest.
"No! Stop it!" She yelled, finally speaking, Aletusis whirled around to see her gripping the bars of her cot and smirked, then turned back to his wife and sliced her head off. Emily gasped, getting more and more angry every second and watched her mothers head roll past her cot. She leapt back frightened now and watched him set the rest of the body on fire.
"Hm, weak witch. Didn't even put up a fight. Now to finish the precious Emily off!" He announced walking over to her.
Emily began crying now, as she knew not from dreams as they'd always cut off at the site of her mothers head, but from memory what happened next. The one thing she never told anyone before today. After she'd witnessed her mothers death she was viciously beaten up by her father. She had been close to death when the police stepped in.
"Go away! Leave me alone!" She screamed, trying her best to power up, she had a terrible thought that the police weren't going to interfere this time, someone was using this nightmare to destroy her and she was helpless as she was stuck in this form..
"Oh but Emily, your a witness, I can't leave you alone. You could tell the police on me, turn me in, even come after me in the future. I can't have you or your sisters messing up my plans, so I'm afraid your going to have to go to." He laughed.
He unlocked the side of the cage and picked Emily up by her hair, she began squirming trying her best to get out of his grip. She tried kicking him, punching him. Oh please, anything, how did I survive the last time....
Back in the real world, Mirai Trunks had jumped up in shock, turned to his wife and gasped. She was shaking badly and she'd transformed to level four. Items in their bedroom were flying around and she was screaming and crying.
"Dad, what's going on?" A little voice from the doorway asked. Mirai Trunks looked to see Jake and Alex standing there.
"Guy's get out of the house, grab Daisy and go get your Grandpa Goku quick! Your mothers not well." He said turning back to his wife.
"Ok dad." Jake said, grabbed his sisters hand and ran off.
"Em, wake up what's wrong?" Mirai Trunks cried, trying to shake his wife, but not getting any response off her, a few minutes later Goku came running into the room.
"Trunks, what's going on?" He asked.
"I dunno, something is wrong with Em." He replied. Goku walked up to his daughter.
"Em, snap out of it. You're destroying your room." He said shaking her.
"It's no good Goku, I've tried that." Mirai Trunks sighed.
"Now what? If we don't calm her down, she'll destroy the house. She's getting more and more upset so she'll continue to power up." Goku said staring at daughter helplessly.
"Goten did the exact same thing, she sensed him earlier. Why don't you go to Capsule Corp and ask what was going on there." Mirai Trunks suggested also staring at his wife, Goku nodded.
"Good idea Trunks, stay here with her and try and get her to calm down. I won't be long." Goku said and instant translocated to Capsule Corp where Vegeta was in the living room with the three teens.
"Kakarot, what are you doing here?" Vegeta demanded.
"These dream things the kids are having, Em's going through one right now. She's transformed to her level four form in her room and we can't snap her out. If we don't stop her, she'll destroy the house." Goku said looking around at Goten and Trunks still in their mid dreams.
"Great just what we need is her doing this too. Well, if we're lucky she'll snap out of it too. The girl went into a dream phase then came out of it by herself." Vegeta explained.
Meanwhile back in Emily's dream, she was still in Aletusis's grip, she slid up and bit him on the arm causing him to let go. She crashed to the floor, hitting her head on the leg of the cot.
"You little brat! You'll pay for what you've just done!" He cried as he picked her up and threw her into the wall, Emily braced herself for the impact, as her body was still growing properly she was bound to break something then.
"Ow! You jerk!" Emily cried, learning new words everytime she opened her mouth. Aletusis snarled at her and lunged at her, punching her in the chest and stomach several times then began kicking her across the room.
"I'd like to have some fun with you before I kill you." He laughed, Emily was crying hard as she felt a black eye forming. Why is this happening? I've never relived this before. I was so sure I forgot this bit. Oh please let it be over soon, I don't know how much more of this I can take. She thought, as she was lifted up off the floor by her throat, then winced as he prepared another blow to her weak body.
Back in the real time, Emily's ki flared as she transformed to level five, Goku winced as he felt it and began pacing the room. Emily could end up killing herself at this rate and he was running out of ideas and he began looking around the room looking for a plan, then he remembered what Vegeta said and turned to him.
"Vegeta, you said Zara got out of this dream by herself. Do you think there is any chance of her entering other peoples dreams?" He asked giving him a thoughtful look. Vegeta stared at Goku.
"She was going to try with Trunks. hopefully she's gotten her energy back up now. she went to the GR!" Vegeta said and Goku nodded before disapearing.
