Chapter Seven: Gerard's Dark Past Returns
Dream opened her eyes. Shadow was trying to dry his hair but not knowing how to use the blow dryer. She smiled. She got up from the bed and plugged the hairdryer in. Shadow blushed. "I knew that," said Shadow a bit embarrassed. Dream was now in short shorts and a long shirt that went to her knees. Gerard then walked into the room. "Why do we have to sleep in the same bed," he shouted. His face then turned really red.
Dream's gold hair reached to her lower back. Her blue eyes stood out really well. Peter then slapped his head, making him trip and fall to the ground. Peter then noticed that both Shadow and Dream's golden hair was dripping.((okay both Shadow and Dreams hair is blue but because they were so embarrassed about the whole bath thing there hair changed to a golden color.)) "Um…what happen to you guys," he asked a bit confused. "It's a long story so….," said Dream blow drying Shadow hair. "We got a message from Mr.Godinera," said Peter taking out his laptop. "So I thought we should all be here if were going to explain are situation," Peter explained putting the laptop on the table.
There was then a knock on the door. Shadow walked to the door and opened it. "Edward," said Shadow catching him. Dream ran beside him. "What happened!" Dream asked kneeling down. "Dream….Shadow… Princess Mimi…She's been kidnapped," said Edward trying to breath. "Edward hang on," said Dream tears coming to her eyes. Gerard then got an idea. "Dream use this," he said taking out a light crystal. Everyone was shocked. "Where did you get that," asked Shadow. "I'll explain later. Dream transform," he said handing it to her. She nodded. She put it around her neck.((okay the reason why dream puts all the crystal around her neck is because they faze into her body and circle around her earth seed. So far Dream had; water, fire, wind, petal, and light))
Dream closed her eyes. The light crystal started to shine. 'This may take a lot of energy but its worth it. The key to light is to pray,' she thought as she started to pray. The light started to surround Dream. Soon it was to bright and everyone had to close there eyes. When the light dimmed there was a mixture of gasps and wows. Dream wings were pure white as some feather fell on the floor. She opened her eyes. She could see the demons of death trying to take Edward soul. She waved her hand over his body. The demons screamed in pain as they all were being purified. When she was done all of Edward wounds had healed. Dreams wings then went back into her body and her clothes turned back to normally.((She looks like the picture in page 34, were it say Light Dream ))
Dream smiled. "I think he'll be okay," said Dream softly. "I'll put him in the living room and check the rest of the palace," said Peter putting the guy on his back and going out of the room.
The laptop projector then came on. "There you guys are," Mr.Godinera said smiling. "Dream," shouted Michelle and Alexandra. "Would you two go back to work," said Mr.Godinera turning the screen back into his direction. "Peter said something bad was going on," said Mr.Godinera with concern. "Yes. Princess Mimi has just been kidnapped," said Gerard. "WHAT," shouted Michelle and Alexandra in the background. "Do you know who it is," Mr.Godinera asked looking more serious. "Well…," said Shadow trailing off. Dream started to feel really weak. Everything started to spin around her. She rubbed her head a bit trying to stay awake. Her head was pounding really hard as if someone had hit her with a table. ((That has happened before)) She couldn't take it and passed out.
"Dream," shouted Gerard catching her in his arms. "Dream," said Shadow kneeling beside her. "What happened to Dream," asked Michelle. "Gerard if you drugged her your going to die," said Alexandra. "Be serious Alexandra. Dream had used her light form for the first time to revive a fellow friend," explained Gerard anger written all over his face. Everyone was surprised. Gerard looked so serious about it. "The person who kidnapped Mimi was…Mike, Gerard's brother," said Shadow picking up Dream and laying her on the bed.
Everyone was silent. Gerard stood up. He made his hand into a fist. He hated his brother. It was his fault. It was always his fault. He had been so stupid to look up to him. That night, Mike had been drinking. He offered to driver his sister Marie home from the party. He knew that he was drunk but didn't care. He had fallen asleep at the wheel and instead of thinking about herself, Marie had pushed Mike out from the car and she died, when the car flew off of the cliff and exploded as it hit the water. Tears came to his eyes but he had to keep them in. Just for a bit longer. Mr.Godinera sighed. "I see… I'll call back later to see if Dreams awake and when Peter is here," he said turning off the screen.
Tear rolled down Gerard's cheek. "Gerard… I'm sorry," Shadow said walking to the window. "Why should you be sorry for. It was my fault trying not to believe it was him," Gerard said as more tears rolled down his cheeks. "I'm so stupid," he said rubbing his eyes. "That's not true," said Shadow tears starting to form in his eyes. "Sure. Your just saying that but you know I'm right. I can't do anything right. All I do is hurt people and I'm so blind that… I can't realize… anything," he said between sobs. "That's… not true…," said Dream weakly. Shadow and Gerard looked at her. She was sitting up. "Dream you shouldn't…," said Gerard unable to finish. Shadow walked toward Dream and Gerard. "I'll… be fine… but you shouldn't beat yourself…up like that," Dream said as tears rolled down her cheeks. 'Why is she crying for,' thought Gerard. "Dream's right. Besides I already know how it feels to be close to a family member but realizing they were your enemy," said Shadow as more tears rolled down his cheeks. Dreams outfit had changed into a dress. Her mini wings appeared.((When Dream gets really emotional she changes into her angel form. The image is on page 7))
"Why…are you crying…Dream," said Gerard. "Because your… heart so sad…and it hurts me to see you so sad," said Dream her tears glowing a light blue. The yellow stars in the room glowed a light yellow. "Ya… besides were all in the same boat. Even Peter. That's why… were great friends…because we all know how it feels to lose someone or to be betrayed by another," said Shadow rubbing his tears. Peter was listening from outside the door. Tears rolled down his cheeks. "He's right," he said smiling. They all smiled as there tears fell on the ground the room filled with sadness and joy. Peter waited a bit before entering the room.
Dream and Shadow were sleeping quietly and peaceful in there bed. Gerard had went back into there room. He was sleeping in the corner. A picture of Him and his sister in his hands. Peter smiled. He raised his hand. He gentle put Gerard softly on the bed with his element, psychic and tucked him in. "You're a good person Gerard. He said smiling. "Good Person."
Light shinned threw the windows of the castle as the sun awoke from its slumber. Dream cuddled more into Shadows arms. Shadow opened one eye to check the time. 6:20. He smiled. Today he was going to sleep in. he took the blankets and covered himself and Dream shielding them from the cold. He then fell back to sleep. Gerard opened his eyes. He sat up to stretch. He then realized that he was sleeping in the bed. He looked around the room to find Peter sleeping at the desk. "He most of been trying to find Mimi's location," said Gerard smiling. He then got some paper and a pen and started to write a note. When he finished he got up, brushed his teeth and packed up some items. He walked up to Peter. "Thanks for letting me sleep in the bed," he said putting the note on his desk. He walked out of the room closing the door. He then checked on Shadow and Dream. "Sleeping quietly," he said smiling. He closed the door and walked downstairs out of the castle. "Sorry guys but I have to help Mimi. I have to at least do something. Besides I need to have a little chat with my brother," said Gerard walking into the forest. Peter had finally woke up. He yawned and looked at the clock. 12:58. "Wow I slept in," he said stretching. He then noticed the piece of paper on his desk. He looked at it an gasped. He ran into Shadow and Dream's room.
"Dream, Shadow…umm," he said trailing off. Both of them were still sleeping. Peter walked up to the bed and started to shake the couple. "C'mon guys wake up," said Peter. Shadow opened one eye. "What Peter," said Shadow slowly sitting up. Dream opened her eyes weakly and sat up. "Huh.. What's wrong," she asked as she rubbed her eyes. Peter blushed a bit. Dream looked so innocent when she was half asleep. Her shirt was slanted, the left side sliding down her shoulder. "Gerard left the castle to rescue Mimi," said Peter showing them the note. Shadow took the note and looked at it, Dream putting her on his shoulder to see the note. It read;
Dear Friends,
I'm sorry for doing this to you guys but I have help Mimi and confront Mike. It's my turn to help you guys, and others. I really like Mimi, I may actually…Love her. So I have to rescue her. I'll bring her back now matter what. I know what your thinking. Peter would say "He's a fool," Shadow would say "Idiot", and Dream would say "We have to go after him." Well don't come after me, please. I need to do this on my own. If I die….Dream you'll know but if I do. You guys have been the best friends I've ever had and thank you for always being there for me.
Love; Gerard
P.S. friends forever got it!
Dream had tears in her eyes, some of them going on the paper. Shadow looked at her. "Don't cry Dream," he said hugging her. She broke out in tears. "he's such an idiot," said Dream in anger as she cried in Shadow arms. He smiled. "Ya he is a fool," said Shadow as some tears ran down his cheeks. "Were going after him," said Peter smiling. They looked at each together. "Ya," said Shadow. "And were going to beat Mike," said Dream trying to control her tears. They all raised there pinkies and wrapped them around the others. "That's a promise," they all said together.
