Blossom's P.O.V
I'm flying around town at top speed. A skid to a stop and look around. Fire consumes everything and Professor...is...dead? Wait! NO! I zoom over to the blood covered Professor. No! NO! This can't be happening! I feel in my gut that Buttercup and Bubbles also didn't make it. I start crying. I don't know what to do! Brick! I want Brick! I start flying when something hard knocks me down. Red eyes dissolved into view in the darkness.
"Who are you?! TELL ME!" I still didn't know his name!
The eyes smirked at me. A bright light blasts towards and a scream like never before.
I wake up fast! Breathing so hard my chest fills like it will explode! The same dream...but a bit different like usual. Why did Professor have to die in this one as well? What is the point? And why did that blast seem unusual this time? It felt warmer and brighter. It felt like, if it hit me, I would have died. Why? I sit up in bed and glance around the room. The moon is shining through the three circle windows in the wall. I look beside me to see Buttercup and Bubbles sleeping peacefully.
" Come on! I'll whoop ya!" Buttercup starts pouching the air. I roll my eyes and smile down at her. So much violence in one little girl. Slowly I fly up and out of the room.
" This is stupid! " I hear someone yell and look down at the couch to see...Brick!? He is turning left and right on the couch. "I can't get comfortable on this lame thing!" Why is he here? And on my couch?! I fly down there and stare at him going back and forth. " Damn it!" He throws his pillow to the other side of the couch. He turns on his side once again and notices me. "Oh, Hi Blossom"
" Uh...Hi?," I asked a bit shocked.
" Can't sleep either? "
" Um...Nightmare"
" That's to bad."
" Yeah...uh...Brick?"
" Yeah"
"Why are you here?"
" You're dad wanted to see me"
"Why?"
"I don't know"
I give him a look of confusion and he must have noticed.
" You should go back to sleep. If you have a nightmare just remember I'm here okay?"
I feel my cheeks get warm. He's here? What is that suppose to mean? He'll protect me? Is he going to stay here for me? I did say I wanted him in my dream. Wait, Why did I want him? Out of all the people of Townsville, why him? Do I actually think he can help me? The purple eyes thought so. Brick gives me a 'You better listen to me' look. I take a deep breathe. " I'll try to get some rest then. Thanks Brick. Night!" I fly off hearing a slight 'night" from Brick and tuck myself back into bed. For some reason, I feel better. I feel...safer.
Brick's P.O.V
She didn't even wait for my night! Whatever! I curl up into a ball and close my eyes. Nothing. I sit up annoyed. How dare this couch not be comfortable. A non comfortable couch is just not a couch at all! I frown. I'm annoyed. I get out the book. Good thing Buttercup didn't try to take this. Since I can't sleep, might as well start chapter 5. I can't believe I'm reading. I open the book.
Chapter 5
Help. He disappeared on me. There was a loud noise that woke me up and...he was gone. The mister I was with is gone. I don't know what to do. I've been walking for hours. Towards the edge of town. Rumor said that if we reached the edge of town and got to another city safe. We would live. The eyes won't come after us. The eyes would stay away. Me and this man were going but I lost him. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid. I'm scared. I'm going to cry. I'm Reverie.
I'm 7 years old. The only reason why I'm writing in this book is because that man did. It seemed like writing in it is something you're suppose to do. So here I am. I heard another loud noise near me just now. When this happens, mister, usually tells me to stay low and wait till it seems normal again. He doesn't trust the eyes. And I don't trust them either. That hero killed my family. I found them. I cried until something scared me off. I had a pet once. It was a small puppy. His name was Doodle. I named him. Do you like it? I miss him. I think I cried more over him then my family. Maybe because the eyes killed him in front of me? Doodle found me and took care of me. He also died by me. He stayed near me to the end. Now I'm crying. I must cry softly or else I'll be heard. I want mommy and daddy. I want Doodle. I want Mister too. I don't want to be here alone. What if I'm the last one? What am I suppose to do? Will I die too? I don't want to die, Mommy. I don't want to die.
