Chapter 14: The Ghost Kids

Lovrina looked around her. She was surrounded by silver blue crystals sticking out of the ground. They were much taller then her and they were clear and reflected her image in it. The sky was dark and cloudy above her and the ground was blue and gray rock. She sighed, "Where I am?"

She looked around some more. She saw someone walking towards her. It was a girl about her age with long brown hair and was wearing a sun hat. She seemed familiar to Lovrina. "Welcome, Lovrina," said the girl smiling, "You'll soon join us." Then Lovrina remembered, this girl was seen on that ship she was on early that Ronjad sunk into the sea. She tried to remember who this person was that Ronjad told her about (he told her before they went to the ship, I didn't mention it early, thou), but she couldn't remember at all.

Lovrina ran away from the girl as fast as she could. "You'll be back," shouted the girl to her, "You'll be back." Then the girl vanished behind a few crystals. "I got to find everyone," Lovrina thought. Then she stopped. In front of her was another person from the boat. She remembered this person. He was Tracey.

He started walking towards her, smiling. "You'll understand," said Tracey. He pulled out that video camera she saw before. He pressed the play button on it. A horrible noise came out of it. Lovrina fell to the ground, covering her ears, then she screamed. "What the hell are you screaming about?" said a familiar voice. She opened her eyes a bit. In front of her was Ronjad and Ash. She got up and she looked around. She was in her bed again.

Lovrina told Ronjad and Ash her dream. Ronjad smiled a bit and said, "Ah, did the princess have a bad dream?" He said that in a babyish voice and making a face at her. She picked up her pillow and threw it at him, but she missed. "I'm serious here," she said, "I heard dreams can predict the future or something like that or have an unearthly connection with someone." "Be serious here," said Ronjad. "I'm serious!" shouted Lovrina in his face. "A crystal forest?" said Ash interested. "Yeah," said Lovrina, "Why?" Ash hesitated a bit, but then spoke, "I had the same dream."

Ash and Lovrina were later deep in talk about their dreams in the dinning room. Ronjad and Madison only shook their heads in disappointment. "Unearthly dream connections?" said Madison to Ash and Lovrina, "What kind of bullshit is that?" "It's not shit," said Lovrina angrily, "I believe Kait(Ash told her who the girl was she described) and Tracey were dream talking to me!" "Really?" snickered Ronjad, "Then I just had a close encounter with the 3rd kind." Madison and Ronjad started laughing.

"Besides," said Madison finally stop gigging, "They're all dead, doesn't dream talking require the other person alive?" "Not really," said Ronjad breathing in heavily, "There are some cases where people who are dead able to talk to the living in dreams, but get real, that all fake like ghosts and vampires." "We'll prove that they were talking to us," said Ash in Ronjad face. "Ok," said Ronjad, "Prove it to me and I'll believe."

"There's got to be someway to prove it to him," said Ash to Lovrina. "Possibly, the changes of proving that to him are very little," said Lovrina. Both of them were next to the beach (You know, the beach were Ash was found and where Ash and friends landed on the island in Movie 2). The tide was coming in quickly, so both Lovrina and Ash on the concrete stairs. "

"I got a question for you," said Ash. "Sure what is it?" said Lovrina. "If you hate Ronjad so much as you show it, why aren't you trying to catch him right now and hurt him?" said Ash. She didn't respond at all. "Ok," said Ash, "Then if you won't answer that, what is so important about Ronjad to your organization?" She looked at him slowly, "You'll have to ask him."

Ash looked towards the sea, and noticed something in the water coming closer. He took a closer look at it. He couldn't believe it. What was coming towards him in the waves, was the video camera from the boat.

"Look!" he shouted. Lovrina looked towards the sea, and she saw it too. Both of them jumped onto the beach, and ran towards it before the waves pull it back into the sea after the next wave comes in. Lovrina ran towards and pulled it out of the water. Ash looked at it and passed out.

Ash looked around the next area he was in. All around him was the crystal forest. He walked a bit around the area. Then he heard something coming closer. He looked towards the sound. It was Brock.

"Brock!" said Ash, "You're still alive!" "I am," he replied, "You'll see me soon, not just in these coming dreams." "What do you mean?" said Ash worried. Brock smiled and said simply, "In the awake world, just look for me at the only opened restaurant." Ash stepped away from him. What did he mean?

"Hey!" shout an echo in the crystal forest, "Wake up idiot!" Ash looked around him. The whole forest started faded away. Ash looked around some more, then all of a sudden he was faced with someone. Ronjad was staring at him. Ash pushed him out of the way and took one more look around him. He was on his bed, in his room, surrounded by Lovrina, May, the pilot, and Melody.

He told them everything in his dream. Lovrina turned around and said in Ronjad's face, "How is this proof for you!" Ronjad pushed her to the ground, kneeled down, and said to her, "We just been thinking too much about our dead friends." Lovrina kicked into the wall, got up, pulled out the camera, and shoved it in his face. "If this camera survived the ship sinking into the sea, they survived too!" said Lovrina.

Melody and the pilot were just confused. "What the heck are we talking about?" said pilot. "Ditto," said Melody. Ronjad sighed and told them everything. The pilot probably didn't show any emotion at all. Melody, on the other hand, looked scared. "Why didn't you tell me this before?" shouted Melody in Ronjad's face. "Why's everyone yelling at me?" said Ronjad.

Ash couldn't sleep that night, so couldn't Lovrina. Both lay in their beds wondering what would happen tomorrow. Would Brock appear? If did, how did he survive? Would he act like everyone on the boat and would they (Lovrina and Ash) have the crystal forest dream? Soon both of them fell asleep.

In the morning, Ronjad sat alone in the dinning room. Soon, Ash and Lovrina walked in. Both looked drowsy and messy. "What happened to you two?" said Ronjad. "What do you think happened?" said Lovrina. "Ah," started Ronjad, "You just survived a war just a few moments ago?" said Ronjad. Lovrina glared at him. "Then you must have had those dreams again," said Ronjad.

Both of them explained to him about their dream. In it, it showed both of them near Brock and him trying to play the video camera for them. "When did you start having these dreams anyways?" said Ronjad to them. "Fine started that night after the boat sinking into the sea," said Ash. "Mine started 2 days ago," said Lovrina. "What did you do different?" said Ronjad. "That day I started to have those dreams, I spent the whole day at the fountain outside the hospital," said Lovrina.

"The fountain?" said Melody walking into the room, "How did that fountain get turned on?" "That morning," said Lovrina. "Weird," said Melody, "Normally after a storm, that fountain is checked for damage and that normally takes about 2 weeks for it to turn on again." Ronjad was quiet and deep in thought.

Blue ran into the room quickly. "Ronjad!" said Blue, "You got to check this out!" She threw a newspaper at him. He looked it over and his jaw dropped. "What?" said Ash. Lovrina pulled it out of Ronjad's hands and looked it over. On the front page, the main cover story is "Man Attacks Police and Leaves 10 Injure". They showed the picture of the man. It was Brock.

Ronjad, Lovrina, Ash (with Pikachu), the pilot, and Melody went to the crime scene. There were only reporter on the scene (the island only has one newspaper) and a few cops. Ronjad went under the crime border and went into the restaurant. "Hey!" shouted Ash to Ronjad, "I think we're supposed to stay behind the yellow line!" "Don't care," said Ronjad. "Me too," said Lovrina and went to catch up with him. Ash sighed and followed them.

"Should we go with them?" said Melody. "Nah," said the pilot, "Let them learn the hard way." Melody sighed and looked towards the building. What was happening out hear to her home?

"Excuse me," said a police officer to Ronjad and Lovrina, "Stay behind the yellow line." "I told you so!" said Ash running in with Pikachu. "I'm staying," said Ronjad. Then he pulled out something from his pocket. He opened it up and showed it to the officer. The police officer stared a moment a said, "Ok."

"What that?" said Ash to Ronjad. Ronjad showed it to him. "No way," said Lovrina looking at it. It was badge. Not any ordinary badge. It was a CSI badge.

"No way," said Ash. Ronjad smiled a bit. Then he whispered to him. "Actually it's a fake," whispered Ronjad, "I can make a fake one if you know that places to go to get one." Ronjad turned towards Lovrina and said, "Isn't that right?" She glared at him. "You're using mine," she said.

Ronjad looked around a bit. He convinced the police to leave the crime scene so he can look around. "Ok," said Ronjad, "Everyone look around and tell me if you find anything out of place." "Like what?" said Ash. Ronjad raise is eyebrow and sarcastically said, "I don't know, blood, broken glass, or how about rip cloths? Come on! Haven't you ever seen the TV show CSI?" "Not really," said Ash. "You're hopeless," said Lovrina.

Ronjad looks around the Manger Room. "Hmm," said Ronjad, "Don't normally these rooms have the security TVs?" He looks up, up on the self is a TV. He runs up to it. The video is still in the VCR. He hits the rewind, then stops at about 1:00 in the morning. On the tape it showed Brock surrounded by the cops. One of the cops runs at him. Brock easily picks him up and tosses him across the room, like nothing. All the cops run at him, but he throws them across the room as well. Ronjad just stares at the screen.

Ash looks around the bathrooms. He starts with the women's room, but a girl screams. Ash slams the door. "Sorry!" said Ash freaked out, "I didn't see anything Lovrina!" "I dare you opened the door again Asshole," shouted Lovrina. When Ash reached the men's room, he knocks first, but no one responds. So he enters.

He walks in, and takes a look around. All he sees is a toilet, a trash can, a sink, and a broken mirror. He looks again, the mirror is broken. He pulls out the camera Ronjad gave him before and snaps some pictures of it. Ash pulls down the camera and takes look at the crack in the mirror. The crack was 3 spirals together (for a better look, watch Threshold). He remembered that symbol before. It was the same symbol in graved in the video camera.

Later, Ash, Ronjad, and Lovrina went over the stuff they collected and photographed in Ronjad's room. Ash and Lovrina watched the video, as Ronjad looked over the photographs. "I don't believe it," Lovrina and Ash said together. "Me either, but it on the video," said Ronjad, "Interesting marks you found Ash." "Thanks," said Ash. "Same symbol, 3 spirals together, as in the video camera," said Ronjad, "You should rest, I'll write all of this stuff down we found."

Ronjad looked the photos, then looked up again. Lovrina was in his face staring. "What?" said Ronjad, "If you want anything, have breath mint." "Me and Ash proved he was speaking to us in our dreams," she said sternly. "So?" said Ronjad, "You want something from me?" Lovrina thought on that, but something scared her when she thought she could get anything. The first idea that came to her was if she could kiss him. Lovrina's eyes widen. "What I'm I thinking!" shouted Lovrina to herself, "My mind is tainted!" Ronjad just stared at her running from the room crying. "What's her problem?" said Ronjad confused.

Ronjad went over the video from the ship. He shut off the volume, because Ash told him of the horrible sound that came out. Ronjad watched it for while. It should a huge bright light shinning and changing shape all the time. Then all of sudden something flashed on the screen, then the person holding the camera dropped it to the ground. Ronjad rewind the video and looked for the flash. He waited and paused it at the right moment. He gasped, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Ash slept in his bed. In his dream, he was in the crystal forest again. He looked around. All of a sudden, two people were in front of him. They were Kait and Brock. Both of them smiled and they said simply, "Wake up!" Ash jumped out of his bed. He got up and looked around him. Both Kait and Brock were in front of him.

Ronjad was dozing off and Lovrina was sleeping. But both of them jumped to their feet. They heard a scream. Both of them ran out of their beds and into each other. After a bit of confusion, Ronjad and Lovrina enter Ash's room and saw Kait and Brock.

"No way," said Lovrina. Kait smiled wickedly and said, "Everything will be explained to you soon, once we make you one of us." Lovrina freaked out and hugged Ronjad. When she realized what she's done, Ronjad's freaked out by her.

Brock grabbed a hold of Ash and Kait jumped at Lovrina. But Ronjad pulled her out of the way. Ronjad pulled out a pokeball, tossed it, and released Magenton. "Quick!" said Ronjad, "Thunder!" Magenton thundered Kait and Brock, who released Ash, and both of them dropped to the ground. Ash checked them a pulse. "They're still alive!" said Ash, "Why didn't you try to kill them?" "Try?" said Ronjad, "That attack should of killed them easily."

"Where are we going to put them?" said Ash looking at Kait and Brock. "Wait a minute," said Ronjad, "I saw abandon jail when I was looking around the island." "I don't know," said Lovrina, "How are we going to keep them there?" Ronjad smiled, "Leave that to me."

Inside the jail, Ronjad pushed Kait and Brock into separated cells and turned on the force field. "Melody told me this was going to be the first ever prison to have a force field used to keep the prisoners in it," explained Ronjad to Ash, Lovrina, and the pilot (he just found out about what happened), "But they shut down the prison because if a prisoner touched the force field a 10,000 K volt would shock them, killing them easily, and since that's what those two were able to survive, I think this place should be able to hold them." "Wow," said Ash, "A lot of bad history here." "Yeah," said Ronjad, "But at least I was able to get power to this old place."

"I was just thinking," said the pilot, "Do you think there is more like them out there?" "Maybe," said Ronjad, "We just got to catch them all before they intend on turning us into them." "Why?" said Lovrina, "Having super strength wouldn't be bad." "I think you're in over your head more then you think," said Ronjad, and he told them all the evidence and video clip her saw. "You're kidding?" said the pilot. "No way," said Ash, "The flash you saw in the video was the swirl symbol as the video camera and glass crack?" "Yep," said Ronjad, "I repeat myself before, I think we're being invaded." "By what?" said Lovrina. "Aliens," said Ronjad.

Ronjad was later by the lighthouse looking into the sea. Lovrina walked up to him and she was the touch him. But before she could, Ronjad spun around and grabbed her wrist. "Hey!" said Lovrina. "Trying to catch me when I'm not looking right?" said Ronjad, "Then trying to haul me to Cipher!" "I wasn't!" said Lovrina angrily.

Both of them sat next to each other and looked into the sea. "You think they'll be coming soon?" said Lovrina. "Don't know," said Ronjad, "I wish I knew though." "With all these strange things going on, I wish everything would just go back to normal." "Normal?" said Ronjad upset, "Before what you and your team did to me, everything was normal!"

Lovrina looked at him. "I'm upset," said Ronjad. "What else is new," said Lovrina. "It's just that," said Ronjad, "I thought I knew what was going on, I was wrong, very wrong." Ronjad looked at her and said, "What know scares me is that I don't know what will happen in the future, who will get hurt, who's an enemy, and who's going to survive," said Ronjad, "I just wish I knew."
