First she tried to count sheep's to fall asleep, but like usual it didn't work. Then she remembered the backpack. Dawn wanted to stand up and get it, but Gibson stopped her.
''I told you to
rest.''
''I joust want my
backpack.'' Gibson took it from chair and gives it to her.
''Next time if you
need something tell me.''
''It was a few
steps for me. Beside I don't want to bother you.''
''You wouldn't
bother me. Where did you get that idea?''
'' It's joust me.
I don't like to be dependent on someone.''
''I see. Still
you're the patient here and there for you are dependent. I told you
not to talk and that you need to rest.'' Dawn sighed.
''But I can't be
quiet.''
''That's going to
be a problem…and I said we won't boughter you till tomorrow. But
you can still answer on some questions.''
''Fine with me.''
''How o''
''14.''
''Bi''
''7.7. at seven
o'clock''
''Ho''
''What do you mean with how?'' she asked. Then she realized what she did. She answered before he said full question.
''Did''
''Few times. But
that happen only with objects…if there was threat that they would
be broken. But not with other persons or like that.''
''Since you're
the source of Primate Power that's not odd. See without looking
would say Antauri.'' Thought Gibson out loud.
''Source. Still I
feel only Energy…in story other elements made Primate Power.''
''Still they tried
on Sabriel's body in which there was remaining of Energy…''
explained Gibson.
''And then Sabriel
lock them all in one body. That would bake scene.''
''That reminds
me…you could…we could train you. Like Chiro.''
''Training? Of
what?''
''For instant you
would learn tactics with me and Nova would teach you fighting.
Antauri would help you with meditation and Sprx would teach you how
control flying. Otto would help you with mechanics and I thought that
Chiro would help you fit in this dimension.''
''Tactics,
meditation, flying, mechanics and fighting''
''Of course you
need to heal before you fight. Talk to others about this. Some things
you could do with Chiro, some alone.''
''I'll think
about it. For now…I…. joust wish to get my thoughts in order. I
feel like I'm…'' Dawn couldn't tell what she feels; it was
joust there- in her heart.
'' I think I know what you mean.'' He smiled to her. He wasn't so bad.
''How much of time was I asleep?'' She asked.
''Two days, today is day three.'' he answered, but she was already opening her backpack.
Dawn took flute out and
she carefully blow in it. A crystal tone came from it and tempted
Dawn to play. Gibson took it from her hand.
'''I'm sorry
but as I recall: for playing flute you use your lungs too. And that
would only made hurt, since''
''I
get the point. You don't need to tell me same thing over and
over.'' She angrily answered. Gibson placed
flute on table and started to calculate. Dawn wanted to took out the
rose, but she found envelope. She opened it. A medallion felt on her
hand, with letter and two colored papers. One blue, other red. She
restored colored papers and looked to medallion. She never noticed
what was on it. One big circle was around five smaller ones, smaller
ones were around another circle and in middle there was a small empty
peace, surrounded by glass. She looked into medallion. There was room
for two more pictures. Two were already there. All three Nazo girls,
all hugging each other and there was one picture of her dad. She
sighed and sank into flashbacks of her past; from her dad, to Denise,
to mom. When she cleared her mind it was 23:45. She looked to empty
spaces. She noticed engraves under pictures. Family. Lost one-daddy.
Friends. Love. She wasn't feeling hurt so; she carefully sneaked
from Gibson, which was sleeping. She sneaked out, to cool off. But
it was like…like someone played mind trick on her. Everything
around her fell apart, like a mirror that broke.
''Dreamz.'' She mumbled. She was on a ship, which was like his owner cold, evil.
''Finally you fall asleep.'' Voice came behind her. She didn't need to think twice. She attacked it. But the pain…in middle of way to source of voice she couldn't stand. Not even sit. All she could do was to curl up in a ball.
''Such a spirit…you will serve me well.''
''You…murderer!''
''One word of many, which would describe me. But remember once and for all I am Skeleton King and I'm here to give you an offer, …''
''Why do you think I will listen to you, you son of…'' she couldn't finish a sentence. Black liquid bonded her and squeeze and she felt sharp pain in her right shoulder…like someone burned her.
''Now, now, now. Where are you manners.'' SK laughed to her.
''Reserved for good guys. You know those, which always kick your ass.''
''Sharp thong. Such a spirit. I want you to join me- freewill. I could make great deal from you. Of course I can do it on hard way, but your spirit and with it you power would be broken…much less stronger. Think you full. Why the boy saved you only? Cause you are the source for him. Nothing else. He could flew there much quicker and saved perhaps some which you…'' SK said next word with despise.
''care. I want you. You see all those stars? They could be yours. All you need to do is, to join me…''
''layer. LAYER!'' Dawn screamed.
''I never thought that you will buy this. So, what about this?''
''D…D…Dad?'' she wanted to hug him, ask him why he leaved, but the picture faded.
''How can you be so cruel?''
''Remember heir... I will make your life a torture and on end you will beg me to serve me. Join me now and I can say that no harm will be done to boy. At least he won't die.''
''You…'' her body started to release white energy, collecting it for a blast...of something.
''I gave you 24 hours to decide. If you're smart you will decide smart.'' Black liquid started to squeeze her. Energy faded…she couldn't breath!
''Of course if you want your spirit live you'll tell me the answer now…heir.''
''Young children are wakening with scream from their nightmares.'' Voice in her head said. It was no one else then Antauri. Dawn screamed and with scream wake up.
''Run, cause you can't hide from me in land
of Dreams.'' SK laughed.
''Too easy.'' Were his thoughts.
All the team was above
her. She was shacking and her body gloved white energy, which wanted
to…heal her! And it did, but something remained and it was pulling
her back to nightmare.
''Don't you dare
to go back!'' Said Nova and slapped her. That woke her up. She
raised her body. Blood flown from her right shoulder.''It's SK's mark.'' Gibson said, as the energy stopped blood. Dawn barely
breathe and tears were slipping from her eyes and only one word was
echoing as her plan.
Revenge.
Chiro was caressing her
left shoulder to calm her down.
''When can I start
training?'' were Dawn's words
.''Sooner, the
better.'' Antauri said, as he quietly replied his answer.
''Sooner,
the better.''
