Chapter 6
The next day Gemma went to the library to find a book to help her with her French. Gemma kept remembering the promise that she made with Kartik, she had to find a way for him not to die. As wondered in the library she came back to the same book that she found about the Dream Snatcher. She remembered that she had to talk to Ms. Moore about it. Gemma grabbed the book and began her way done the hall, not knowing that it would change everything.
"Well Gemma, you are always finding interesting books. But this one is more informative then the others."
"Yes, I know. But do you know anything more about this creature."
"Why yes, I do believe that I do. Let me just find the right book." Ms. Moore began to rummage though her books until she brought out a very old and dusty book. It was marked Dark Magical Creatures.
"How is this book going to help us?" Gemma asked.
"By telling us what we need to know." Ms. Moore opened the book and turned to the index. After she found the page, she skimmed though it until she found the paragraph she was looking for.
" Ah ha. Found it. The Dream Snatcher is a creature of great power. It can go into dreams and manipulate it, into scaring the person into giving them what they want or death." Gemma sucked in her breath, death, could this be the creature that kills Kartik. "If this is to much for you, we can stop."
"No, continue."
"Alright then. The legend of this creature is that it worked for the Order—you remember the Order correct Gemma."
"Yes"
"Good then I don't have to repeat my self.—the Order, until it became greedy with power, it no longer wanted to serve but rule. To do that it need the power that only the Order could command, unless they give it up willing. The creature tricked one of the members of the Order by tricking her into killing her lover, one of the members ofRakshanna. By doing this she was so heart sickened that she was able to become manipulated my the Dream Snatcher that she believed that if she didn't have this power that he could have lived. In the end she gave up her powers to the creature."
"What happened to the couple?"
"Let me see it says that the creature killed them both."
"How did the creature trick her into killing her lover?"
"It says…… that it disguised itself as the woman's lover and attacked her. Then when the real lover came she thought he was going to attack and she attacked first. It was then the creature showed himself after her attack. Gemma are you ok, you look quite pale."
Gemma couldn't saw anything everything that Ms. Moore just told her was just like her dream. It took her a while to figure out Ms. Moore was saying.
"No, Ms.Moore I don't need to see a doctor. I think that I will just go to bed early."
"Alright then, off to bed."
Gemma walked to her room, and waited for the sun to go down.
"Ha, if I can't get her to kill him, then I just have to fine someone else to kill him."
Faster, faster that was all that Gemma could think about as she ran though the woods, she kept telling herself that she has to get their faster. So she can tell Kartik, about what she learned before it was too late. Stopped outside the camp, she remembered what Kartik told her about looking around to make sure there was no one before she came into the camp. Gemma looked around when she saw no one she preceded into the camp.
"Now what is a pretty girl like you doing coming into a camp so late at night." Gemma stopped dead in her tracks. Just show no fear.
"I'm looking for Kartik. Not that it is any of your concern."
"Well, that's quite sad because Kartik isn't here; he went out to get more firewood." Gemma was beginning to get worried. Kartik wasn't here and the man was getting closer. There was something else this man gave her a look like that she thought she saw before. Then again she never saw this man before.
"Well if Kartik isn't here than I'll be on my way." Turn and began to walk right passed him. She stopped when she felt a hand snake around her wrist.
"Now I can't let you go walking around in the woods at night. Some one might come around and try to make you his." Gemma quickly pulled her arm out of his hand and started to run. She got as far as almost to the edge of the forest when someone's body slammed against hers and pinned her against the trees.
"Kartik…?"
"So I was right you are his woman. Well let me tell you something a lady like you should be with a man not a boy." With that said he crushed his lips against her. While this was going on Gemma kept trying to get free, the tree kept digging into her back. His hand started to slide up her thigh. Then his eyes glowed red and then she remembered where she saw him before. It was the same red eyes in her dreams and when she brought "Kartik" into the realms. The man's hand began to cup her breast, and started to squeeze them. He squeezed too hard and she let out a groan.
"Feels good doesn't it?"
"Get off of her NOW!!!!" Gemma saw what must have been the most beautiful sight ever…Kartik.
"What are planning to do about it?"
"This." With that said Kartik charged at the man and knocked him off of Gemma. Then he turned to look at her.
"Are you alright? He didn't…..."
"No, he didn't. Thank you." Gemma kissed him, after wards she broke down and started to cry. Kartik was trying to comfort her. Then he fell on her, with a knife sticking out of his back. Gemma screamed in horror at what was happening. After she calmed down she looked around to see the man standing staring at her with nothing but pure hate in his eyes. Before she knew what she was doing she pulled the knife out of Kartik, thanking God it wasn't deep. Threw him on her back and ran she headed to the caves. As she ran she tried to concentrate on making sure she could still hear Kartik's breathing in her ear and not the running foot steps behind her that were catching up pretty quickly.
So how was it PLEASE REVIEW.
