Moonlit Dreams

Chapter 2

The pale hand continued its journey out of the carriage. To Serena's amazement itwas soon followed by a slender arm and a blue-clad female body. Slowly but surely the body stepped down and out of the carriage to reveal a beautiful young woman with short dark blue hair and the intelligent azul eyes of a Mercurian. Serena's breath came out in a big WHOOSH as she ran over to her friend, Amilia. Grabbing the startled girl in a bear hug, she let all of her experience out in a rush. In Serena's child-like babble, Ami only caught 'bad feeling', 'someone watching me', and 'so scared'. To try to calm down her friend, Ami managed to escape Serena's death grip and asked her to recall everything that had happened.

"Well," Serena began, "I was sitting here doing nothing, when I felt something burn me from behind. I turned around, but there was nothing there," she exclaimed. "I could still feel something. I was so scared, but when you arrived in that carriage you scared the shit out of me. For a minute I thought you were a ghost or something," 'something like a Death Dream', she thought. Involuntarily shuddering at the thought, she continued on with a new fervor. "But you weren't and now everything is going to be alright because you're here now!" The respect in which Serena held Ami and her magical abilities was self-evident in her manner of speech. Ami gave her friend a soft-smile, and like Serena had, she searched the shadowy forest with her eyes. Seeing nothing, Ami turned back to the girl with a reassuring smile. For some reason Ami couldn't shake off the feeling someone was watching them. Serena's smile faltered as she noted her friend's preoccupation, but Ami led her back to the carriage without a word.

Inside, Ami kept scanning over the clearing as if searching for what she knew must be there. Serena opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't get a word out when the carriage abruptly jerked and soon began to pick up speed. Opening her mouth to start again, Serena was startled when Ami spoke from her position near the window, "Do you know where you are?" Pondering over the strange question, Serena answered, " In a very strange dream." At that, Ami let a small giggle escape her. "Sort of, Serena. You're in the Dream Realm." Serena looked shocked for a second, her eyes as wide as a child's while being told a fairy tale.

"But, I thought that was only a legend… and only people that had powerful magic could be brought there. So this must be a strange dream." ' Yea a very freaky ass dream, I'm never going to drink coffee again!'

"Serena, legends are always based on fact. You must have magical powers to even survive here. It is magically taxing to sustain ones self and another person at the same time here. So no one could've brought you here. Even that Moon tyrant doesn't have enough magic to do that. Serena, you must have magical abilities to be here, because I'm absolutely positive that I'm in the Dream Realm." All Serena could answer was, "Oh."

"…. But the only thing that puzzles me is that, how do you suddenly have enough magic to be here? And why haven't I felt any magic from you, I've known you for quite a while now. Maybe I overlooked it in my first meeting with you. Hmmmmmmm."

Serena waited for her friend to come up with a possible reason behind this strangeness, she would trust Ami's genius mind with her life, if it ever came to that. Looking out the window, Serena caught her breath; they were riding near a lake. It was absolutely beautiful, the Moon shone atop it perfectly; it reflected an exact image of the night sky, stars and all. She had never seen anything like it in her whole life; anyone would appreciate it, even if it were for a quick glance. She glanced back over at Ami, to find the girl giving her the 'Mercurian' look, as she liked to call it. Mercurians were always an observant race, which never missed a single detail when studying something. It creeped her out sometimes, how her sweet Ami could become so intent and focused on something as to be able to block everything else out. 'But, hey, their whole planet's like that,' she thought. Half the Starlight University that she attended was Mercurian, and she had seen that intense look on many a blue-eyed face.

Ami was looking over her best friend to check for any bodily harm. Injuries you received in dreams, you received in real life. They were those scratches and bruises you find on your persona, and you didn't have a clue as to where they came from. Satisfied at not seeing any harm done to Serena, Ami looked at her hands as she pondered over the current situation. 'How's', 'Why's' and 'What's' flooded her mind as she tried to find a logical solution. But something nagged at her, in the back of her mind. She knew in her subconscious what it was, but at the moment the rest of her mind had no clue.

Serena watched as Ami thought over what might have happened and decided to voice her question out loud. "Do you know what happened back there in the clearing, Ami?" Startled at the sudden question, Ami felt herself answer exactly what she had felt. "I'm not sure," Serena's brow furrowed at the thought of something puzzling the smartest girl in the Universe, but let her continue. "But, I could sense that some power was there. It felt as if- as if it was hungry, starving for raw power." A frown creased Ami's brow as she continued, "It wants you, Serena." The silver-haired girl's eyes widened in shock, fear and a bit of curiosity. "How do you know?" Ami looked up and stared straight into Serena's eyes as she answered. "I could sense it, like an instinct." Ami closed her eyes then, leaned back into her seat and let out a sigh.

Ami's natural instincts would have been to protect the Moon Princess, but there wasn't one. It was painful to not be able to calm that urge which throbbed through her very being every moment of the day. For just a second, it had felt as if the eternal ache had subsided, but it soon returned with equal ferocity when she realized that there wasn't any Moon Princess around. 'Unless…' she thought, but quickly pushed that silly thought aside. Serena was in danger, that was top priority. Ami looked up at the slightly paranoid Serena, a sense of responsibility overcoming her. "Don't worry, it can't hurt you while I'm here." Serena nodded in response relief washing over, but soon enough was flooded with doubts.

Serena stood up and began to ask, "What happens when you're not here? I don't always end up in the same place every night. What am I supposed to do? What if that thing gets me!" Ami looked startled at Serena's lack of knowledge about the Dream Realm. The legends should at least be able to explain some of the reasons why things happen the way they do in the stories. She smiled up at the girl reassuringly, "Serena, don't worry so much! You'll get gray hairs to add to the mix!" she teased. Serena quickly turned red as she yelled, "Aye! I will not!" Ami laughed, she loved Serena like a sister. A confused Serena looked down at the girl, "Don't worry, Sere, all you have to do is think 'bout me when you go to sleep and you'll end up with me, wherever I am." Serena looked down at Ami with doubtful eyes. "Is it really just that?" Ami got up and gave Serena a motherly hug, "Yes, sweetheart. Don't worry, you'll be safe with me." Finally feeling some comfort, Serena felt herself drift off to sleep and return to the real, normal, not so scary world. All that had occurred that night left the girl with a migraine in the morning.

Do you guys know what's going on? Mmmmmmm It's sort of a mystery to me too. Raises fist into the air:Laughs crazily while people run away Don't worry, I'll figure it out!
