Now it was just in front of she
"I am prisoner of the stone" said with a sing-song voice.
Then it turned in a statue of stone with gold eyes.
Naminè was waked up of blow and was watched around: she was in one compartment of the train of Twilight Town.
Yuffie and Oret were sleeping, while Kairi watched the landscape outside the window.
"That... strange dream" thought Naminè "nevertheless... I know that there are some particular that they are escape... I'm not succeed to remember them..."
She sighed, then shealso look the landscape outside.
Always that a landscape could be defined it.
There was onlyother that an enormous black space, on which shined million of stars.
A true show, even if all that immensity, to its way, was frightful.
There were some moments of hush, during which she and Kairi admired all that thoughtfully.
Then Kairi spoke.
- Have you dreammed also , aren't you? -
Naminè was awaken from the state of abstraction.
- Yes, but I do not succeed to remember some things - she answered simply.
- What you remember? -
- A speaking cat that turned in a statuewith the eyes of gold -
- I memory a black swan that sang with human voice." Then it exhibited a strange enigmatic smile "But will be these the meaningful parts of our dreams? Or it was the landscape to having importance? -
Naminè watched her amused
- What makes you to think that they must have meaning? -
The smile of Kairi was increased
- They have not never said you? Our mind during the dreams vague towards that it is not perceptible when it is captive of the rationalization of the things. Then it comes captured from thoughts pertaining to other times and other persons. The dreams are confused messages find in the air, in the water, the earth and in the fire -
- Are you sure to not have read too many books on the occult? - Naminè churches nervously "She is scary when talk like that "
To that point was felt a yawn: Yuffie had been waked up.
- How much lacks to the arrival? - churches gotten sleepy, breaking the present tension in the compartment.
- Approximately a pair of hours, I guess - Kairi answered, returning to her usual frivolous attitude.
The other girl yawned again.
- An other pair of hours! That' orrible! -
Oret said something in the sleep, that it played more less or like: Roxy, give me Fluffy.
Yuffie was waked up completely and assumed a disgust expression.
- Roxy! Fluffy! -
Kairi and Naminè burst to laugh.
Oret waked up and it was watched around, confused.
- What now? -
The others two laughed still more uproariously.
- Oret, said to us - said Yuffie in a melodrammatic tone - from how much time you calls Roxas Roxy? And what is it Fluffy? A peluche? You loves both of them so much to see them also during the sleep? -
Oret now was red like the seat.
- None your business! -
- It's so, ah! You' re fall in love with Roxy! - Yuffie exclaimed.
- Oret, why you never have said that before? - Kairi said in a malicious tone - But now that we know it, we will help you to declare yourself to Roxas -
- Stop it! - Screamed she furious.
Naminè laughed and brought back the look outside the window.
Perhaps that journey would not have been so orrible.
