Chapter 5
A gigantic flash of white light was fired and it blinded everything and everyone. After it cleared and all there was dust you could hear only one thing, a small voice whispering "No…" As the dust cleared you can see a giant crater where the white light stroked, a few feet away from that crater laid a boy severely burned from head to toe barley breathing and beside him was a girl crying on his chest whispering " No… Kartik I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, please be alright." Slow but steady the young boy's breath stopped. The young girl began to sob telling the boy to come back but deep down she knew he couldn't hear her. Soon there was a voice behind her "Do you see what having this power causes, nothing but great pain. There is a way to stop it…" "What is it?" the young girl asked. "Give it up. Go into the realms and give it back and shut the door forever. It's that simple." "Give it up…" "Think about if you gave it up the first time you would have never KILLED him. Now would you?" Then everything went black.
Gemma awoke with a start, she was having the worst dream ever in her dream she killed Kartik. Gemma knew it was a dream but is felt so real she could feel Kartik's charred skin on her hands. Thinking about that dream again started to make her feel sick to her stomach; she decided to go to bed. Every time she closed her eyes she would see Kartik again lying on the ground dying. After what seemed like forever she got up put on her jacket. Then she silently slipped into the night. She had to get to the camp to make sure he was alright once she saw this then she could go to sleep in peacefully.
Gemma snuck into the camp as quietly as she could so she was right outside Kartik's tent she wasn't sure what she would find but she hoped it was what she wanted. As she stepped in she saw Kartik sleeping soundly on his mat. Gemma walked over to him and sat down at his side even though he was right there she kept seeing dream over and over. She gently shook him while calling his name. Before she could even react Kartik pulled out a knife and held it to her neck. Once he saw it was her he put it down.
"What are you doing here?"
"Do you always sleep with a knife with you?"
"Yes, now don't change the subject. What are you doing here?"
"I umm… Just came to see if you're ok."
"Why?"
"Because I had a dream and you died in it and I wanted to make sure your ok."
"……"
Gemma was getting angry the he wasn't responding. "Good night"
"Where are you going?"
"Back to school. Maybe over there someone will appreciate me worrying about them."
"Will you sit down just because I didn't respond doesn't mean I don't appreciate you. I was just thinking about your dream."
Gemma feeling rather stupid for jumping to conclusions, sat next to him.
"Didn't your dreams use to tell you what was going on in the realms, also some times the future?"
"Yes, what of it?"
"Maybe your dream was what was going to happen in the future."
"……………"
"It's just the last time you had a vision of someone dying it came true, so maybe this on will too."
"How could you say something like that? Your own death, and no you won't die. Want to know how because it was only us." She didn't mention the voice because if she did she knew that he would think that he would die and then he would just let it happen. "All my other dreams had a monster in it too."
"Gemma you have to face it that some people die."
"I know that. But your not one of them."
"How do you know that, how do you whose going to die?"
"I don't. It's just…just not fair. Why do you have to die you haven't done anything. Kartik promise me something that you won't do looking for trouble or anything until I'm sure what is going on."
"Gemma you have to get back to your school now."
"No!! Not until you promise me you won't go looking for trouble! PROMISE ME NOW!!!"
"Fine I promise. Just go!"
Gemma got up with tears flowing down her face she knows the Kartik wont keep he's promise. Deep down she knew he was going to die.
