Reo: Hi again! It's nice to finally get some time to write another chapter. Stupid yearly exams!
Kim: CURSE YOU YEARLY EXAMS!
Reo: Back again Kim?
Kim: Yeah, I had to come back. I'm a crucial part of your story, remember?
Reo: Yeah… crucial…
Jason: Hi guys.
Reo: Jason! You're back to? Oh, this is gonna be a great chapter! (Wipes a tear from her eye)
Kim: That is if Daniel doesn't show up…
Jason: Don't worry about him. Sarah's keeping him very occupied…
NO! (Daniel's screams echo from outside the door)
Reo: I'm so glad he's happy.
Thank you for reviewing my 2nd chapter (even though one of you was Kim…). I'm very proud of myself for managing to fit this in with my busy schedule. I really hope you like chapter 3! (And if not you can write a review complaining to me).
Chapter 3- Where Am I?
(Daisuke's POV)
The light dazzled my sight and I was finding it harder to keep my eyes open.
Dark! Dark, what's going on?
All I heard was silence. I figured Dark was too worried about the light to respond. The light didn't seem to dim. Instead, it seemed to become brighter and brighter. It reached a point where I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. For some reason my body felt as if it was in agony. I didn't know whether the light was the cause if it, but I had a feeling some magic was involved.
Dark, can you hear me?
No response.
Dark!
The pain suddenly got worse. I didn't know what I could possibly compare it to. It hurt so much that I wasn't even sure whether Dark was in control anymore. But it didn't matter if I was. I was in too much torture to do anything anyway. I wanted to run away though. Anything to get me away from the light. It was the cause of this pain.
Then everything went black.
I didn't know what had happened. Was I asleep? Had I fainted? I didn't bother trying to ask Dark because I knew he wasn't there.
"He seems fine. He's been asleep for a while now."
"Don't bother waking him up."
"Should I tell you if he does?"
"No, I'm busy right now. There's too much going on at the moment… Just tend to him if he does. You can handle that?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. I'll be seeing you for your lesson at sunset then?"
"Yes sir."
I heard the closing of a door. I didn't open my eyes to see where I was. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to. What if the police had suddenly come in and found me lying on the floor next to the painting? I didn't want to find out…
"Sir!"
"Yes?"
"Your father wants to have a word with you right away!"
"Fine."
The door slammed for the second time. Wait a minute… a door? Was I even in the museum anymore?
I opened my eyes slowly, taking in some light. My eyes felt sensitive and any image was hazy. It wasn't until I opened my eyes fully when I realised I was in a bed. I wasn't sure if I should be calm or worried. There was a chance I had been found by the police. I sat up expecting to be in a hospital or a police station. What I saw was something I wasn't expecting.
An open room lay before me. The light had come from the balcony and was beaming across the room. It wasn't night. It seemed as if it as in the middle of the day. And I wasn't in any hospital. It almost seemed as if I was in some ones manor. Yellow cream paint covered the walls with a warm glow. The whole room was exquisite… and familiar…
Where am I?
There was still no response from Dark. It was as if he had disappeared.
I got out of the bed eagerly and made my way towards the door. As I turned the bronze knob I noticed that it was jammed. It was probably locked. I looked down at the knob and saw a small keyhole. I began to look around the room to see if there was anything to pick it with. Just then I noticed something…
I wasn't wearing my usual clothes. What I was wearing when I came into the museum had changed in a golden silk robe. Could this day get any worse? I knew Dark shouldn't have tried to steal that painting! Apart from the fact that there was no point in stealing it, it had also gotten me into this mess, and Dark was now gone.
Once I had gotten over the shock of the sudden change in clothes, I continued to look around and began to rummage through the items on top of a dresser. The only thing I could find which I could use to pick the lock was a thing which appeared to be a letter sealer. It had a long sharp handle and was made from a hard metal.
"It'll have to do." I started picking at the small lock. Normally this would've been an easy job, but unfortunately I was stuck with a weird lock and a letter sealer to open it with. After about two minutes of prying the door clicked open. It lead me to an open hallway which had the same colour paint and a dark red carpet.
The hallway was completely empty. That was strange since I remembered voices while I was sleeping. I couldn't remember what they had said, but I felt as if I had heard them somewhere before. Why was everything here so familiar to me? Even this hallway seemed familiar.
I walked down it slowly, as to make sure that I wasn't making any noise. Someone had locked the door in an attempt to keep me in that room. I didn't want to know what their reaction would be if they caught me here. A small noise from the other end of the hall made me immediately turn and change direction. I broke into a run and found myself suddenly on the ground. I had crashed into someone.
"What are you doing out of your room?" I looked up to see Satoshi giving me his usual stare. I had never been so pleased to see him in my life. I stood up quickly.
"Hawitari! What's going on?" He raised an eyebrow. At that moment I noticed the absence of his glasses. He wasn't even wearing normal clothes, but a robe of navy blue.
"How did you get out of your room?" he demanded. I was worried now. He did seem to have listened to my question, but was waiting for my answer.
"I don't understand…" Satoshi was about to speak, but stopped suddenly when a voice from behind him called out. A new worry crept onto me. It was Krad.
At that moment I ran. It was almost an instinctive reaction.
Krad can't be there if Hawitari's there! That's impossible. Everything that's happened today's impossible! I must be dreaming…
Reo: Done.
Kim: That's nice.
Reo: Have you read it yet?
Kim: No.
Reo: That's reassuring…
Kit: What's going on here? What's that?
Reo: My story Kit. Can you please leave, no one invited you.
Kim: I did actually…
Reo: Kim! Why on earth did you do that!
Kim: So I could look through his science book before our last exams.
Reo: Fine then. Give her your book and leave.
Kit: Why should I do that?
Reo: 'Cause I'll make you eat your parents.
Kim: She's not kidding. She'll do it… wait a minute… that's from South Park!
Reo: You know me too well. Okay… you can stay Kit… but as long as you stay quiet and let me beat you in the exams.
Kit: No deal.
Reo: Fine then. You're out of here.
(Kit leaves, and people all over the world rejoice!)
Okay… what did you think? You can give me your honest answer, I don't mind. Just review… PLEASE! Till next time!(P.S. Lexie, please read and review!)
