Chapter Eight: The Darkness in Dreams heart.
Dream, Shadow and Peter stopped in front of the dark cave. "It looks creepy," said Dream hiding behind Shadow. "Don't' Dream," said Shadow looking at her with a wide smile. She nodded. "Mr.Godinera said that this is were Gerard's locket signal cut off," said Peter looking at his laptop. Dream then felt very cold. For some strange reason her earth pulsing in and different beat. "Hello…earth to Dream," said Shadow his face right in front of Dream. She blushed. "You okay. Your acting strange," said Peter closing his laptop. Shadow put his hand on her forehead.
"I agree. Besides you don't have a fever," said Shadow checking his temperature. Dream took shadow hand off her forehead. "I'm fine but…," said Dream trailing off. Shadow looked at Peter. He nodded and went into the cave. "Dream… what's wrong," shadow asked a bit concerned. Dream sat on a nearby rock. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Shadow sat beside her. "Dream are you scared," he asked softly. Dream nodded. "Why," he asked with more concerned. "Be… because the earth seeds pulse changed," she said rubbing her eyes. Shadow eye harden. "So your worried that your going to change into your dark form," asked Shadow looking at her. "Ya…but I don't want to change," said Dream sadly. Shadow stood up. "Then don't. If you can control the earth seed can't you stop from transforming,"
Shadow asked helping Dream up. "No. The earth seed reacts to the area. This area is pure darkness so the earth seed will turn fully dark," said Dream sighing. More tears ran down her cheeks. "Dream stop crying…," said Shadow looking in her eyes. "But I can't. I feel so pathetic…not being able to control my transformations… and what would happen if your life depended on my transformation and I couldn't do it. I would never forgive myself," said Dream between sobs. Shadow sighed. He took out a bracelet. He then knelt down and clipped it around her ankle. "What is that," she asked looking at it. "It's a special bracelet. I made it for you when we first discovered you had the earth seed. It was also made to hold in the full power of your dark side," explained Shadow standing up. Dream eyes turned back to normally. "It will help reduce the pain when we go into the cave," said Shadow.
Dream's earth seed then pulsed but this time it continued pulsing even faster. Dream tried to breath but was unable. She fell to her knees. "Dream," said Shadow. "What's wrong," he asked. "…Peter's… heart… it stopped," said Dream as tears rolled down her cheeks. "WHAT," he shouted. Dream opened one eye. Everything was spinning as if she was spinning in circles. Shadow was saying something to her but she couldn't hear anything. Her eyes felt really heavy. She tried to keep them open but was unable. She then fell into darkness.
Dream opened her eyes. Light was everywhere. She recognized this place. It was the waiting area, or in other words the place between life and death. She tried to stand up but her body wouldn't let her. She then saw a figure walking toward her. Her vision was off because she had lost a lot of energy from when they walked here. She tried then realized who it was. "P…peter," said Dream with shock. Peter smiled. "Dream you okay," he asked a bit worried. "Um… yeah I'll be fine but what are you doing here! What happen," she asked urgently. "Don't really know," said Peter trying to think. "All I remember was fighting Mike and suddenly feeling a sharp item get pushed into my body and then I started to feel really dizzy and numb and then I finally passed out. Then I saw someone laying on the ground and I decided to check it out," Peter explained. "Peter your dying," said Dream holding her chest. Peter looked a bit confused but the smiled. "I know but in a way I'm not scared," said Peter moving a piece of Dreams hair out of the way. ((okay if you think this is sad wait till the end.)) She blushed. "Besides I'll get to see my sister again," he said happily. Tears started to form in Dream eyes making it harder to see.((so much crying)) Peter's lips got closer to hers and they kissed.((Cheater! Adultery! Oh wait there not married opps.))
Dream opened her eyes. Shadow was looking down at her with worried eyes. "Dream…what happened," he asked softly rubbing her tears from her face. "Peter… he's gone," she said trying to sit up but Shadow pushing her back down. Tears rolled down his cheeks.(( Shadow is…so emotional. Waaaaa. sob)) "You need to rest a bit more. Your earth seed was pulsing pretty fast," said Shadow as more tears fell from his eyes. " Peter was a great friend," he said rubbing his eyes. "Ya he was. Always protecting us and was the smart one," said Dream laying her head on Shadows chest. Shadow cuddled her closer to him, for comfort. "Well get him… and were not going to show him any mercy," said Shadow with anger. "Well save Mimi and Gerard as well," said Dream. As the rain poured down, Dream and Shadow finally fell asleep, thinking about a close friend.(( Also by the fact that there half cats and cats get sleepy when it rains. Reminds you of some one…Kyo))
Dream opened her eyes. "Your awake," said a strange voice. Dream couldn't see anything. 'What's going on? Where's Shadow…and where are we,' thought Dream looking around. Dream tried to move her hands but they were being held down by something, metal perhaps. "Don't bother. You can never escape those metal locks. Besides there stronger then ordinary ones," the voice said laughing. "Don't tell me. Elements were used to build them," she said her eyes turning orange. "Exactly," he said happily. "Hmm you have to much pride for a weak item," said Dream coldly. "What did you say," he asked with anger. Dream's dress started to levitate and it started to glow.
The fire started to burn the locks and soon Dream was able to walk. She took her glasses out from her pocket. She put them on and gasped. Blood was everywhere. She saw two figures on the ground. The first one was had many cuts and a big slash mark on his chest. 'Peter,' Dream thought. The next figure was bleeding bad. Dreams eyes widened. "Shadow!"
