Chapter 4
Nightmares
In a dark cave, a small creature was looking though a bag. He brought this bag with him when he came though the portal. I contained all his charms and items he needed to affect time.
"Stupid wench, why did she have to go and shut the door, I didn't bring enough with me. I need to get that power some how, and the emotion that the humans share called love is going to help me, but how. What to do, what to do."
He leaned against the wall thinking everything that he learned form watching her dreams, everything he saw while he was here. He know that he had to act fast while one was gone, he know they were stronger as a team all four of them. He just couldn't figure out what to do.
Gemma ran all the way back to Spence, once again when she got back she didn't check to see if anyone was awake, it wasn't because of fear this time, it was because of astonishment, astonished by that she just had Kartik kiss her and she let go as far as to let him touch her. She didn't know what to do know.
Kartik returned to the camp with his head in swirls if the Rakshanna ever found out they would kill her or him. So he decided that he couldn't let any of this continue. He just had to avoid her at all costs.
"I got it. I know exactly what to do know. All I need is a little of Reality Bending powder, and some appearance alteration. They won't know what hit them, and then I will control the magic."
Gemma awoke feeling great. She got her breakfast and she did really well in French class. Felicity would be coming back in a few days and she was planning to take Ann and Pippa into the realms today. Later that night they all ran out and entered the realms they were having so much fun that that they lost track if time it was time to go. Before they went they took the magic with them.
Gemma was lying in bed trying to sleep but it didn't come she was just lucky that tomorrow (A/N or morning it was just dark) was free day with no classes. Gemma was about to go and get a drink of water when she was overcome with a need to sleep. As she drifted off she didn't see the figure in the corner chanting something under its breath.
Gemma was in the realms and everything seemed just fine but she realized that it wasn't. Right then she was thrown onto the ground, but it wasn't the nice soft ground she was used to in the realms but it was hard when she looked around she found that she was near the river bank next to the cave. Then an arrow shot by her she turned to face the person who shot it. It was….. Kartik.
Gemma just stood there in disbelief way was he doing this.
"You see he never loved you he just wants to kill you."
"Who said that? Who's there?"
"If he truly loved you he wouldn't try to kill you."
"No your wrong he loves me and he would never do that."
"Really, look up." She did as she was told and there in front of her was Kartik crunch down so he was eye to eye with her. She could find no emotion in his eyes.
"Sorry" and with that smacked her across her face her head whipped back and landed on her face in the mud. She didn't even feel the pain on her face, or the feel of mud on her face. All she could hear was the voice
"Yeah, that's love I hope I will find someone who will beat the crap out of me without a look of remorse on their face."
"Be quiet."
"Now don't get mad at me I warned you. He is only loyal to the Rakshanna, not you, not now not ever. Get it though you thick head."
"No….. You're wrong he loves me."
"Oh that's why he's about to stab you in the back." She turned you head around just in time to see him come at her with the knife. She ducked and rolled out of the way.
"If you want to live you have to stop him use the magic."
The creature watched as his plan started to work. He led her out of the school to the cave. He had to leave her to lure the gypsy out here for everything to work. The creature then took the form of Gemma and walked out to the camp. He stopped in front of Kartik's tent.
"Kartik, could I talk to you?" Kartik looked up he didn't even hear her approach. He thought about hiss plan to avoid her, and then decided he could at least explain to her why.
"Okay" and with that they left and walked into the plan that was in motion.
Gemma was bloody and tried from escaping Kartik's attacks.
"Use the magic or you are surly to die."
"No, I won't hurt him." But part of her was thinking it was a good idea. 'If I don't I will die here. But I might hurt him. But he doesn't seem to even care that I'm hurt.' She slowing lifted her hands to attack.
"Now it's time." Then Gemma woke up with Kartik walking near her.
Kartik was walking with Gemma when she just disappeared; he suspected something was wrong with her. When she was gone he then walked around to find who or what that was. That's when he saw her lying on the ground looking pretty beat up. He started to walk to her.
Gemma thinking it was still the dream land was ready to fight. She stood up so fast that Kartik didn't know she got there. "Gemma, what's wrong? What happened?" She stood poised ready to attack. He seems worried about me. Maybe he's back to normal.
"No, it's a trick to get you weak so he could strike the finally blow, you have to stop him." Gemma steadied her self and raised her hands again.
"Gemma put you're hands down, what are you doing."
"Remember all the pain that he did to you, her didn't even care that you could have died. Stop him now."
"Gemma put your hands down." Then he made a mistake he stepped forwards.
"KILL HIM, NOW. BEFORE HE ATTACKS!
"NO! Stay away" and without even thinking she fired right at Kartik. In the shadows the creature was there whispering
"KILL HIM, NOW"
