Chapter 3- The Dreams
The gang sat in Odd's and Ulrich's room. "That's weird there is writing all over the wall, and there was a shadow showed up." Aelita said.
"No it is not weird. Last night, I thought I heard a noise in my room, so I turned on the light, and I didn't see anyone there. When I shut off my light, the room got ice cold, and a pair of hands grabbed me. One hand covered my mouth, and the other hand touched my right shoulder. I felt something burn into it. In a few seconds, everything turned normal again. I turned the light back on, and I didn't see anything weird. I shut off the light, and I went back to sleep." Laura explained.
"Can we see your shoulder?" Jeremy asked. Laura moved the sleeve of the shirt up. The gang was surprised.
"Laura, you have the mark…" Aelita said.
"I have mark of what?" Laura asked.
"XANA" Ulrich said.
"How can that be? I sealed XANA myself." Laura said.
"I don't know, Laura, but I do know that the shadows want Laura for something." Jeremy said.
"Whatever they want her for, they are not getting her. I will promise to that." Odd said. Then the power went out, and a white form showed up. It took shape into a man.
"Who are you?" Ulrich asked.
"Laura knows who I am." The man said.
"Eric Hopper" Laura said.
"Very good, my warrior. Laura, you are in trouble. The one you know as XANA is trying to come back. I can already see that one of his shadows already left his mark on you. His shadows are called Shadows of the Night. They only attack at night." Eric said.
"Why are they after Laura?" Odd asked.
"The first time when XANA saw Laura, he fell in love with her. He is trying in his power to get her. He wants her to be his wife." Eric said.
"Why" Ulrich asked.
"I don't know why, but I know his shadows are you trying attacking all of you in different ways so be careful." Eric said before he disappeared. The power came back on.
"So we will have to protect Laura." Odd said. He saw Laura sitting on the bed with her head in her knees. Odd was sitting next to her. He putted his arm around Laura's shoulder. He could hear her crying.
"It is good to be ok, Laura. We promise to protect you." Ulrich said as he sat in front of his sister. Laura looked up. Odd started to wipe the tears away.
"It is ok." Odd said as he pulled Laura close to him.
"Do we have a chance with the Shadows?" Laura asked.
"Yes we do." Yumi said. She made Laura smiled.
"Thanks everyone." Laura said. She knew she was safe.
Odd tossed and turned. He was having a nightmare. He was dreaming about seeing Sam after a year.
(Odd's Dream)
Odd cell went off in the middle of the night. He went to answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hi Odd, it is me, Sam. I need to talk to you." Sam said..
"Ok, when do you need to talk to me?"
"Now"
"Where are you?"
"I'm by the lunch room."
"Ok, I will be ready in five minutes." Odd said.
"Ok, see you then." Sam said before she hanged up. Odd got dress, and he slipped quietly out. He made sure that Ulrich wasn't woken up. He ran to the lunch room, and he saw Sam sitting on the stairs. He walked up to her.
"What's the matter, Sam?" Odd asked.
"My boyfriend, Pete, dumped me." Sam said as she threw herself into Odd's chest. Odd wrapped his arms around her.
"Sam, I need to tell you that I have a girlfriend. Her name is Laura."
"Well she should leave you." Odd couldn't believe his ears.
"She won't leave me."
"How can you choose her over me?"
"She is everything to me. She knows when I need help. She didn't leave me like you did." Sam started to back away.
"She will die." Sam said before she left.
A few days later, Odd found himself choosing between Laura or Sam. A stranger had a gun pointed at them. Odd couldn't see the stranger's face.
"You got to choose with one you want." The stranger said.
"Odd, you got to save Sam." Laura said with tears running down her face.
"I can't choose." Odd said.
"Fine, I choose for you." The stranger said as he fired the gun at Laura.
"NO!" Odd yelled.
(End of the dream)
Odd woke up all sweaty.
"It was just a dream." Odd thought. He got out of bed, putted his slippers on, and he quietly headed out the door. He headed to Laura's room. He opened the door. He walked in and quietly shut the behind him. He walked up to Laura's bed. He saw Laura sleeping peacefully. He kissed her on the cheek, and he sneaked out of the room.
(Ulrich's Dream)
Ulrich was sitting in the gym when a stranger walked up to him.
"I have Yumi and Laura. If you want to see them ever again, meet me at the factory's bridge at four. If you don't show up, they will both die." The stranger walked away. Ulrich never saw the stranger's face. He met the stranger at the bridge. Laura and Yumi were tied at their wrists and they hanged over the water.
"I thought you won't come. You are braver than I thought. Now you must choose who will live. Will it be Yumi or Laura? Now choose. Every minute you take, I will start cutting the rope."
"Ulrich, no matter what, you got to save Yumi." Laura said.
"Take me." Ulrich said.
"Sorry, I can't. If you don't choose, I will." The stranger said laughing. He started cutting Laura's rope. Laura's rope broke, and the stranger took off. Ulrich ran and he caught the end of Laura's rope. The rope around Yumi's disappeared, and she tried to help Ulrich. Ulrich was loosing grip on the rope.
"Ulrich, you did the right thing. Remember that I always love you." Laura said.
"Laura, we won't let you die." Ulrich said.
"I love you, Ulrich." Laura said as the rope slipped from Ulrich's hands.
"NO!" Ulrich yelled..
(End of Dream)
Ulrich woke up to see Odd up.
"What are you doing up this early?" Ulrich asked.
"I had a nightmare about loosing Laura."
"I just had one about loosing Laura too."
"Could this be the work of the shadows?"
"It could be."
"What was yours?" Odd asked.
"I was in gym when a stranger came up to me. He said that he had Yumi and Laura. He told me to meet him at the factory's bridge at four. When I got there, I found Laura and Yumi tied by their wrists hanging over the water. He asked me to choose between Yumi or Laura. I told him to take me. He cut Laura's rope, and he ran off. The rope around Yumi's wrists disappeared. I was holding on to Laura's rope when it started to slip. The rope slipped from my hands and Laura fell into the water. You know what's funny. I knew the voice, but I couldn't find out who it is." Ulrich explained.
"Same as me. Mine is about Laura and Sam. I got a call in the middle from Sam. She asked me to meet her at the lunch room. I went to meet her, and I told her that I have a girlfriend, and she said that Laura should leave me. I told her no. Then it was a few days later. The stranger had Laura and Sam. The stranger had a gun pointed at them. I had to choose between them. Laura told me to save Sam. I told the stranger that I can't choose between them. He said that he will choose for me. He shot Laura. Then I woke up. I went up and checked on Laura. She was asleep peacefully." Odd said.
"That's good. Tomorrow we tell the others."
"That sounds like a plan."
Yumi tossed and turned.
(Yumi's Dream)
A stranger had a gun pointed at Yumi. She stood still.
"I should kill you when I had the chance. Ulrich will pay for taking you away from me." The stranger said. He got ready to pull the trigger. Yumi closed her eyes. She heard a bang from the gun, but she didn't feel anything go into her body. She opened her eyes to see what stopped the bullet. She saw it was Laura who stopped the bullet. Yumi opened her arm to catch Laura. The stranger ran off. Yumi fell to the ground with Laura. She held Laura.
"Yumi, promise me to take care of Ulrich for me. You mean so much to him." Laura said.
"Laura, don't talk like that. Everything is going to be ok." Yumi said with tears running down her face.
"Yumi, you and the others are my best friends. I love you all." Laura said before she dies.
"NO!" Yumi yelled.
(End of the Dream)
Yumi woke up. She got up, and she headed to Laura's room. She opened the door to find Laura sleeping. Yumi shut the door, and she went back to her room. She slipped under covers.
"What a horrible dream. I will talk to the others tomorrow." Yumi thought before she fell asleep.
(Aelita's Dream)
A stranger had a knife to Aelita's throat. They were on a cliff. She saw the gang standing. There was nothing they could do. She didn't see Laura. Laura sneaked up behind the stranger and she hit him on the head. The stranger let go of Aelita as he turned around to face Laura. He grabbed Laura. He pushed Laura. Laura grabbed him from falling. They both went over the edge of the cliff. Aelita ran up to the edge of the cliff and she saw Laura holding on the edge with one hand.
"Laura, grab my hand." Aelita said as she reaches her hand out to Laura. Laura grabbed Aelita's hand. Aelita used her other to grab Laura's wrist. She could feel Laura's hand slipping. She tried to hold on to Laura's hand until the gang could get close. Laura's hand slipped put of Aelita's hand and Aelita watched Laura fall.
(End of the Dream)
"What a nightmare. I need talk to the others about it tomorrow. I'm glad tomorrow is school improvement day." Aelita said as she sat up in her bed. She slide back under the covers and went to asleep.
(Jeremy's Dream)
He was walking back to school when he heard someone calling his name. He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around. He didn't see anyone. Out of nowhere, a truck coming speeding around the corner, Jeremy turned to see the truck coming his way. He froze in his tracks. He felt something pushed him out of the way. When the truck stopped, Jeremy saw someone lying in the road. He ran up to the person. He got there, and he turned the person over. It was Laura. He sat next to her. He pulled her into his lap. He had tears running down his face.
"Laura, why did you save me?" Jeremy asked. Laura opened her eyes a little.
"Cause you are my best friend." Laura said coughing. She closed her eyes.
"Laura, you can't die." Laura dies in his arms.
(End of the Dream)
Jeremy woke up shaking.
"That is the worst dream I have. I hope it never come true." Jeremy said. He looked at his alarm clock. It said five. He got up, grabbed his things, and he headed to the showers. When he got to the showers, he found Odd and Ulrich there.
"What are you two doing up early?" Jeremy asked.
"We couldn't sleep. We had nightmares about Laura." Ulrich said.
"I did too. I dreamed that Laura saved me from a truck." Jeremy said.
"I had to choose between Laura or Yumi. A stranger cut Laura's rope, and I grabbed the rope. This took on the bridge of the factory. The rope slipped from my hands, and Laura fell into the water." Ulrich said.
"Mine was about me choosing between Sam or Laura. A stranger pointed a gun at them. He shot Laura." Odd said.
"You want to know something. I know the voice from my dream, but I can't find out who it is." Jeremy said.
"Let's hurry. Laura has workout in twenty minutes." Odd said.
Yumi couldn't sleep. She looked at her clock. It said five. She got up, grabbed her things, and she headed to the showers. When she got there, she found Aelita there.
"What are you doing up?" Yumi asked.
"I couldn't sleep. I had nightmare about loosing Laura." Aelita replied.
"Me too. I had that a stranger pointed a gun at me. The stranger said that he should kill me when he had a chance. I think he was upset at Ulrich. Well he pulled the trigger. I closed my eyes. I heard the bang from the gun. I was waiting to have the bullet to hit me, but it never did. I opened my eyes to find Laura took the bullet for me. The stranger ran off, and I caught Laura in my arms. We fell to the ground, and Laura die." Yumi said.
"I know the voice, but I couldn't remember who it belongs to. Mine was a stranger who had a knife against my throat. You all couldn't do anything. Laura sneaked up behind the stranger, and she hit him on the back of the head. When he turned to face Laura, he let me go. He pushed Laura, and she grabbed him. They both went over the edge. I ran up to the edge of the cliff, and I found Laura hanging on with one hand. I reached out my hand, and she grabbed it. I used my other hand to grab her wrist. I could feel her slipping. She slipped out of my hand, and I watched her fall."
"Well when the others get up, we will tell them."
"Let's hurry. Laura will be at her workout in fifteen minutes." Aelita said.
Laura got up to do her workout. She got dressed, and she headed down to the gym. When she got there, she found the whole gang down there.
"What are all of you doing here?" Laura asked.
"We are watching you to keep you safe." Ulrich said.
"You all never did that before." Laura said as she walked up to the gang. The gang explained their nightmares to her.
"We don't know if this is the work of the shadows." Jeremy said.
"It could be. Well I'm going to work out. " Laura said.
Meanwhile a boy watched Laura from the boys' locker room. A shadow showed up next to the boy.
"They didn't know it was us." The boy laughed.
"I knew they wouldn't. Tomorrow will be part two of the plan." The shadow said.
