Thanx 2 all that have been reviewing! And 4 all the rest of you Accident fans, IT'LL BE DONE REAL SOON:D WHOOO! Now, on with the fic! OH! And thanx 4 your review Asher Tye!
Jinx lay awake in bed that night, she couldn't sleep all, knowing that the shadowy figure she'd seen earlier, was VERY real indeed.
And also familiar. but she still couldn't figure out why.
Jinx then got out of bed, and looked outside, a slow, steady flurry of snow was now coming down, and everything outside the home, and in, was hushed and serene.
However, Jinx couldn't help but check up on Gizmo. Even this un-Godly hour of the morning. And that's just where she was headed, for the hundredth time that night!
Slowly creeping down the small hallway, she cracked Gizmo's door open, just enough so that she could see him. He was fast asleep, but his window was opened slightly. Jinx's eyes suddenly went wide. As she'd checked up on him an hour ago, and it wasn't open, and nor he, or anyone else had been up all that night.
The young witch simply walked over and closed and locked the window. And then turned to leave.
As Jinx closed the door to her own room, something was telling her to look back into the halls. It was a strange, gut wrenching intuition, only made worse by what she turned to see.
A dingy shadowed figure, the same one she'd been seeing, passed through Gizmo's door, and then Jinx began to hear screaming, crying, and cries for help. And then- Nothing. "I-I'm coming!" She called back, but froze in utter fright midway, but she kept on going. Only to feel her body being shaken violently back and forth.
And she then opened her teary eyes.
Jinx was so very glad to see the faces of her worried teammates, and to know that what she'd just seen, was all just another horrible dream.
"Jinx, you were screaming in your sleep. Are you alright!" Mimi asked, as her friend sat up, her wispy pink hair hanging over her face in a Samara Morgan like manor.
Suddenly, it all came back to her with a small gasp. "Gizmo." She whispered to herself in a frightened tone.
When suddenly, the small child walked through the door, looking rather tired himself.
"Gizmo!" Jinx cried, as she leapt out of bed and scooped him right off the ground and into a tight embrace. "Um, did I miss somethin'?" Gizmo asked as his friends exchanged a variety of shrugs and puzzled looks.
"Well, least everyone's alright now!" Jinx said, smiling broadly.
"Uh, yeah. But the question is- Are you?" Steffauri replied, throwing Jinx a suspicious look.
"You guys! Don't worry about me! OKAY! It was just a scary dream, nothing more! Now, Ithink we should all just, head back to our OWN ROOMS, and go to bed!" Jinx stated angrily, finally setting Gizmo back down.
And the rest of the group did just that.
However, Steffauri looked once back her friend, with a determined look on her face. "C'mon Gizzy, you come too." Steffauri said, grabbing the child's tiny hand, and leading him out to his own room.
Meanwhile, Jinx merely remained awake in her bed, thinking.
"Was that really just a dream? I mean, it seemed so- so real! Oh! Damn it! I'm getting WAY outta hand on this one! I'd better just head to sleep, and hope everything's normal in the morning." The young witch though as she lay back down, pulling the sheets over her long pink hair and hiding her pale grey face.
In Gizmo's room, Steffauri was sitting on the side of Gizmo's bed, the two couldn't sleep and were awake talking.
"So, what the crud do ya think is wrong with Jinx?" Gizmo asked. "I dunno." Steffauri replied, simply shrugging. "I know lots of people in Pahora that have had bad dreams, and it drove them insane." Steffauri finished, knowing know only by the look on Gizmo's face that she'd said the wrong thing.
"OH, uh, sorry! Heh, heh!" She giggled innocently as she leaned over to kiss the child on the cheek.
"Don't worry, she'll be alright, now, you get some sleep. I'm sure she'll be fine in the morning." Steffauri said, as she turned off Gizmo's light and left the room.
However, even though all of the commotion had ceased, Gizmo's sleep was still overtly troubled. Not by the thought of Jinx possibly going insane, but by visions, visions he'd never seen before.
He saw a man with black hair and light blue and black shaded goggles perched atop his head. He had his arms wrapped around a crying orange haired woman, and seven other children sitting mournfully in the background.
Only one son, the oldest, and the rest were daughters of the two.
They were noticeably standing in the remnants of a destroyed home, possibly, theirs.
Suddenly, one of the children spoke up, a young gothic girl with short, black and red streaked hair. By what her parents had acknowledged, her name was Violet.
"When will we see little Chiheo and Orrei, again?" She questioned.
"I-I just don't know. It does seem hopeless though, doesn't it, dear?" The woman replied, pulling away from her husband slowly. Revealing a beautiful pale face and hazy black eyes.
"Katrina," Her husband started. "Yes, Gizmo?" Katrina replied to the man. And it was that very moment, that Gizmo began to wonder, was this his future? Or, could it be the long lost family he longed to see?
But suddenly, as he was about to get further into the dream, his alarm clock sounded.
As his black eyes shot open, and he shut off his still beeping clock.
It read, 6:05, it was Monday already. Time to start another boring week of school. As Gizmo got up to get dressed, he noticed outside, there were many students crowded outside, in the middle of the school's campus.
Suddenly, Gizmo harkened, as Mimi called to him.
"GIZ! You've gotta see THIS! C'mon!" The red head shouted, dragging Gizmo down to the courtyard, there, in the middle of the crowed, lay, an inscription written in blood. A moon, sun, and star. Written beneath them, it said- "I will not rest until your blood is in my hands, Prince Chiheo, Princess Orrei!"
Reluctantly, no one in the academy knew who either one of them are, but when Jinx saw this, her heart nearly stopped.
As she remembered that the name, Chiheo was written on the back of Gizmo's pendant.
Suddenly, Brother Blood's granddaughter, Sherry, the new Hive Headmistress walked in, and began to clear the crowd. "Stand aside! All of you! And let me see what all this fuss is abou- Oh my." Sherry said as she looked down the cryptic threat.
"Students! all of you! Inside, and go to your regular classes, immediately!" She stated and without question, the students obeyed.
That day, Gizmo couldn't focus in class, he kept on gazing out the window, and scribbling down, honestly badly drawn pictures of Katrina. This time, with fire surrounding her. Gizmo supposed that this must've been the cause of her home's destruction.
But suddenly, a hand slammed down upon his desk, causing him to jump in fright, and several students giggled.
"Oh, uh! Miss Sherry!" Gizmo cried out, as Sherry picked up the drawing.
"Hmm, this is, um, very nice Mr. Agino, but I'd prefer it that you drew your little, 'fantasy maidens, on your OWN TIME!" Sherry said, as she placed the slightly damaged picture into her top desk drawer.
Some thirty minutes later, the bell rang, lunch time last! But as soon as every student had exited Sherry's room, the platinum blonde pulled out the drawing, and dialed a number into her phone.
"Hello?" A familiar voice answered casually- Brother Blood.
"Father, he knows." Sherry stated, as she looked over the drawing with an evil smirk, and then burning it in her own hands, with her own power.
Meanwhile in the cafeteria, the Hive Seven were sitting their usual table, in the back of the room, just eating and talking. Gizmo, whom normally took this opportunity to study, was drawing yet another picture of Katrina.
Steffauri then leaned over to her little friend and got a closer look the art.
"That's pretty good, who's it of?" She asked.
Gizmo simply shrugged. "I dunno, I just had a dream about her, and, I drew it." He replied, placing the picture into his binder.
And Steffauri nodded once with a smile.
Later that night, the Hive Seven were home, just kickin' it and doing nothing.
"Aw! Damn it! I hate these fucking tests every week!" See-More complained as he flipped through his Combat Techniques book, and noted only the minimal things in bold. (HEY! He stole my method! Tee-Hee!)
"Yeah, but still, we'll be graduating in another year, so we should just suck it up." Mimi replied to this, laying upside down on the couch.
Meanwhile, the Titans East's Tower HQ………. The team had only just gotten back from fighting with Control Freak, and we're incredibly tired from everything he'd put them through.
"Damn! Even for a TV geek, he can dish out some pretty hard crap!" Speedy complained.
Mas Y Menos then nodded and yawned "Si, vas MUY cansado!"
But even as her weary team complained, Bumblebee couldn't help but think that there was something seriously wrong going on, and there was.
