Chapter 3: A rude awakening
Ryu's POV-
Ugh. Zero's getting almost scary clingy to me, constantly asking me questions I don't want to answer like, 'Where's your mom? Why are you alone?' -_- Needless to say, it's been getting kind of annoying…. Right now I was sitting on my couch with Lilly next to me, Alex (her other personality) was reading pervy magazines. "Not really all that revealing, I could do better." She bragged confidently.
"You sure?" I asked, eye brow cocked. "Heck yea I could! I can do it right now, if you want me to prove it!" I sighed. Alex can be annoying. I prefer my hyper-active best friend Lilly, not the pervert fearless Alex. "That won't be required." I said, bored out of my mind. I heard footsteps behind me and turned just a bit to see the familiar silver hair. Big surprise. "I'm bored." I stated in a bored tone. "Too bad, you're the one who should know how to be un-bored." I let out a sigh as I got an earful from Mr. Ice princess Zero. "Yeah, yeah Ice princesses," I gave him a new nick-name, "don't get your panty-hoes in a knot." He twitched.
Uh oh, whelp, goodbye world T^T…. been nice knowing you. "I'm not an 'Ice princess'. Everyone just leave me alone." He walked up the stairs and out of our sight. I began to wonder where everyone else was. "Hmm… Alex, where is everyone else?" Her head turned. "Oh, I told them to go get ice cream." She answered with a too happy tone. I narrowed my eyes, "I don't trust you as far as I can throw you." I stated, venom lacing in my voice. "Fine, fine, cool your jets," She said, defeated, shoulders slumping, "can't even have good fun these days," She mumbled, "I don't know where they are." I sighed. "You're more useless than Barney." I shuttered at my own words, darn Barney is creepy.
I walked down the hall, and into my bedroom, it was approximately 10:00 at night and I was tired, yes, I was bored and tired. I flopped onto my bed, listening to the springs creak then settle, adjusting to my weight. I closed my eyes, grabbing my Slender man plushy and cuddling it. I slowly drifted off into dream land.
~~~RYU'S DREAM~~~
I woke up in a forest, it was dark and eerie, and I liked it. I heard my name being called, "Ryu… Ryu…" The sweet and calm voice called me out, it felt as if the person could be miles away and whispering my name and I would have heard it. "Ryu… come to me my dear Ryu..." I began to recognize the voice, it was my mothers. I bolted into the forest, as if the map was already drawn in my head; I was just going override mode. I ran as fast as I ever remembered, but hey, it was my mom. I saw a clearing in the middle of the forest, a woman stood in the center, wearing a white dress and a flower crown in her hair.
She was gorgeous, she was dancing with a man I swore I recognized, but I did. "D-dad…" My voice was but a whisper; afraid of him leaving if he found out I was watching. He stopped dancing with Mom and sauntered over to me. "Ryu… you have come..." He smiled, something was wrong with the smile though, it was twisted and slightly off. I backed away a bit. "Mother and I have been waiting for you…" He used his arm as a beckoning to my Mom; she started standing up from picking flowers.
She smiled, but it too was not warm and welcoming, it was yet again foreboding and deadly. I wanted out. I backed away again, this time in knowing somehow these creatures aren't my parents, maybe demons messing with my head. I took off and ran. I ran so fast trees were but blurs, not seeing them fully, I ran into one. My vision blurred for a second, "Ow…" I complained. I couldn't get up. I looked down to see arms coiled around my legs, a face coming out of the ground. I screamed.
"RYU!" I heard a voice, distant and scared, it was like an echo, it was soft, and eventually I woke up.
~~~OUT OF RYU'S DREAM~~~
I jolted awake, sweat on my forehead, I looked over to my clock, 7:00 am. I sighed, I looked over and saw Zero staring at me with concerned eyes. "Ryu, you were screaming in your sleep… is something wrong?" I shook my head, "No, I'm fine." I smiled. "I think I'm going to make something to eat, wanna come?" "Sure," He replied, "got nothing else to do." "Excellent." I smiled again, I got up out of bed, and started walking to the kitchen.
Alright guys, gonna cut it off here because I'm really tired and I just wanted you guys to get the new chapter! :D I really have NO PLOT ideas, just going with what I feel like, and as to why no one but Ryu, Zero, and Lilly/Alex were in this chapter is because I didn't feel like switching POV's a lot today. Kaname, Ichijo, and SOMEONE else will undoubtedly be in Chapter 4! ^~^ So enough of my banter, see ya guys later! :D
