Chapter 7: Living Dreams
The moment before Kaylsta passed out, she saw Regal, running toward her. She smiled, and closed her eyes, thinking that she was going to be with him again.
But, when her vision went from pitch black to white, she knew she was still alive. All of a sudden she found herself standing in a...laboratory? She sniffed, and the scents of her friends washed over her. When she looked down, she found she was in her human form, standing and looking around the laboratory. Another scent, aside from her friends, washed over her and she gagged. Rotting flesh...and blood. She gasped, though no sound came from her throat, and she thought the worst. Could they...no...no they couldn't be. The smell was coming past the nearby corner. She gulped.
It took every bit of her will power to step forward. In baby steps, she went past the corner, and her eyes raised in absolute horror. Blood was everywhere. It was pouring out of the nearby fountain coming from the wall into a once beautiful pool now covered in the scarlet color. It was in every vial lying on the nearby table. It was all over the floor. But, what made her blood was cold was what was lying on the blood.
Bodies. 3 of them. Each of them was slaughtered, but...Kaylsta could still see who they were. She walked over to the male body, and bent down. His face was slashed open mortally and a knife was poking up from his chest. One eye was ripped out and the other was glazed over, staring straight up, never to see again. One arm was gone, and the other was cut and gashed. The legs were bleeding horribly and the ankle was cut off the left one. Kaylsta wailed in horror and grief. Frollo was not only gone; he was unidentifiable.
Kaylsta sobbed before getting on her feet and walking to the other male body. He was slaughtered almost exactly like Frollo, only both arms were missing and he still had both eyes staring up at the ceiling in a sightless glaze. Kaylsta shoved her head into her hands and sobbed a few moments before moving from Kane's body.
Kaylsta wailed again as she saw the other body. This one was butchered, cut in several different places, and Kaylsta felt like she was going to be sick. Kamlyn never deserved this, neither did Frollo or Kane.
Kaylsta sobbed and looked around for Regal's body, feeling as if everything had been ripped away from her, and her heart was being stabbed several times with the sharpest knife. When she turned around, she noticed a body hunched over another motionless body. His back was heaving and sobs rocked his body as he muttered to himself. Kaylsta, tears running down her face, walked over and stood in front of the person who was crying and cried out in horrorific surprise.
Regal was hunched over a body she didn't notice before and he was crying. Kaylsta cried out as she looked down at the body.
It was her own.
Regal woke up when Kaylsta started thrashing gently beside him. He lifted himself up and licked her gently on the head.
"It's okay, Kaylsta," he mummered, trying to calm her, though it did no good. She was pulling away from him, but he kept a firm grip with his right paw against her side, licking her faster to calm her. "I'm here,"
Kaylsta was part consious as Regal tried to calm her. After trying to thrash away from the unknown person, Kaylsta reconized Regal's voice, and slowed her movements, trying to awaken. Everything in her vision was pitch black, but she could hear Regal mummering comfortingly to her. She couldn't come out of consiousness for awhile, so she layed there, listening to Regal's voice which soothed her. Her whole body felt heavy as she slowly pulled herself awake. She parted her eyelids, just enough to look at Regal's face close to hers.
"Regal," she whispered hoarsly. Regal jerked his head up from Kaylsta's shoulder at her weak voice. Feeling was slowly coming back to Kaylsta, and she felt herself sitting in something wet and warm...her own blood, no doubt.
"Kaylsta," Regal muttered back, pressing his head against her own. Kaylsta felt weaker and closed her eyes as dizziness made her feel sick. "Kaylsta, I'm here."
"Don't...leave me," Kaylsta whispered, opening her eyes one last time, before shutting them again and falling back into unconsiousness. Regal felt wet tears stream down his face as he layed in the pool of blood with Kaylsta. Slowly, he started to lick her should fur, listening to her slow breathing.
"I won't leave you, Kaylsta, I promise," Regal whispered.
Kaylsta felt herself slowly awakening from her sleep, and she waited a few minutes before opening her eyes. Her senses returned, and she smelt rotting flesh...and blood. She jerked awake and slowly lifted her head, and what she saw made her cry out in grief. Everyone was motionless. She closed her eyes tightly, but snapped them back open.
Her dream...
"No..." Kaylsta mummered, shaking her head. "No...no, no, no, no," She was about to stand up when she realized that Regal was lying against her, sleeping peacefully. Regal...? No...he was dead..."...Regal?" she whispered, rubbing his black Umbreon fur. She could feel him.
He was alive...
Kaylsta felt something inside her chest snap, and she felt strange. Regal...wasn't dead. He was alive...alive and laying next to her. But, the rest of her friends...
Suddenly, a splitting inside her head caused her to cry out and shut her eyes tight. Her head was spinning and something felt as though it was being drilled in her head. Then, he consiousness left her, and her head hit the ground.
Regal...
I know it wasn't a good chapter; it was mostly a romantic scene between Regal and Kaylsta...and I lied last chappie. You won't know what until next chappie! xD LOL have fun hangin'!
