ChiChi's Note: OMG thanks so much for all the reviews! That's the best I've ever gotten in 2 chapters! and I'm sooooooooooooooooooo sorry for not update quick enough. I've been super TAMAD, reeli sick, and I also had a lot of homework. Stupid high school. Anyways, this is quite short, I wanted it to be longer, but the amount of time that I have to myself is limited. Anyways enjoy!
Sweet Dreams
Tama stood still, praying to God for her safety. Her eyes shut tightly in fear of what was to come. She felt the person's warm breath tickling the back of her ear, giving her goose bumps. Her back stiffened, not allowing her to move, but she knew that she had to. Her breathing became shaky as she attempted to move. What would happen to her if she did move? She swallowed down her fear and opened her eyes. She slowly turned around but no one was behind her. But that was impossible! She felt the hand grip onto her wrist and just before she turned around, there was another hand on her mouth. She felt the person's breath blowing on her. Her heartbeat slowed down a little. Her eyes shifted from side to side, scanning the trees. Nothing. She let out a groan and buried her face in her hands, 'I'm okay. It was just a hallucination. There's no one here. I'm all right. I'll just find Spinel and get out of here.'
Tama stiffened again. She heard the sound of footsteps running around her. 'There's no one here. There's no one here.' Her hands remained glued to her face as she hid her eyes from the truth. In her mind was the idea that nothing would happen to her as long as she hid behind her hands. She then felt a silky material brush against her arm. "Oh God," she said immediately at contact.
She chewed on her bottom lip, hoping that it was just another hallucination. She opened her eyes and slowly parted her fingers. It wasn't. She looked down at the ground and saw a little girl kneeling on the ground. "Are you lost little girl?" Tama asked.
The girl's back was facing Tama, but Tama could tell that she was about ten years old. Tama peeked over her shoulder and watched as the little girl etched something into the ground. Tama glimpsed at the kanji on the ground then turned her attention to the girl. She opened her mouth to say something, but for some reason, the girl began sobbing. She covered her face with her hands and shook her head violently. Tama began to panic. What was she supposed to do? She had never been in a situation like this! The girl stopped shaking her head and placed her palm flat on the ground beneath the kanji. Her hand balled up into a fist then she suddenly bolted out of the forest. Tama cocked her head to the side then sighed, "That was strange."
She looked back down at the kanji, "Hiiragizawa?"
Tama came back to her cottage unsuccessful. She lost so much sleep lately that she had absolutely no more energy left to look for him. She lazily changed into her nightgown and flopped onto her bed. She snuggled under her soft cover, knowing that her efforts to sleep would be in vain. She would just wake up in the middle of the night. She began to actually consider giving up sleep. She rolled over on her side, and found herself in a very comfortable position, 'Maybe tomorrow night."
A figure stood beside Tama's bed, watching her sleep. In his hands, he cradled a small black cat. He smirked as he watched her sleep peacefully, "Maybe I should just let her rest tonight."
The cat meow in response. He looked down at it and patted it on the head, "Help her remember."
The cat jumped out of his arms and landed on Tama's bed. It curled up in a ball and began to purr softly. The boy gently ran his fingers through Tama's hair without disturbing her slumber. He then placed a kiss on her forehead and grinned mischievously. "Let the games begin my dear."
ChiChi's Note: Once again, I'm sorry. I will make the next one my usual average length. Maybe longer if I'm up to it. kk review!
