It had been three days since Jaden had had the weirdest dream of his life, and he was still trying hard not to sleep. Sadly though he'd been so out of it that he hadn't gotten to spend as much time as he had hoped for with his friends, but he was thankfully that school would be starting up again soon.
How ever, he wasn't so glad that it was night time and that every one else was already in bed. He was having a really hard time staying up, at least when the others were up he knew some one would wake him up if he dosed off. Now he was all alone sitting in his room and he knew it wouldn't be too much longer…

"Tisk-tisk, trying to avoid me I see?" a taunting voice said. Jaden opened his eyes to see that he was once again surrounded by darkness.
"Oh no," he breathed and felt arms around his waist. He turned his head back and was face-to-face with 'Shadow'.
At first the mirror Jaden had his eyes shut and smiled his creepy smile, it looked like the smile of an insane person that was about to kill their whole family and it made Jaden shiver, but after a moment that smile turned into a grin and his eyes opened to glare poison daggers at him.
"Oh yes," Shadow said, his face turning into pure, undeniable hatred as he continued, "and guess what,"
Jaden gulped, his eyes filled with fear. He knew that voice, that tone, all too well, and it never meant any thing good. "W-what?" Jaden said with a slight stutter. The arms around his waist tightened and he was pulled closer towards his darker self.
"I'm sick of playing games,"
Jaden's eyes shot open. "W-w-what?" It was all he could say in his stuttering, panic filled tone as he started to tremble. He knew the meaning in those dreaded words but he didn't want to believe it. No, how could any one want to believe such a dark meaning could lie within such simple words?
Jaden was pulled even closer to his other self and he could now feel Shadow's hot breath hitting his ear. "That means, your time's up," and with that Jaden was spun around and a knee was thrusted into his gut, sending him flying for the hundredth time since all this started. He hit against an unseen wall and slowly slid to the ground. His arms instantly moved to cover his stomach in an attempt to stop, or at least dim the pain, he completely ignored the pain rushing threw his head, trying not to think about the blood he knew was running down his neck.
He heard laughter and the sound of foot steps drawing nearer and he shut his eyes knowing that if he saw it coming he'd only be more scared.
The sound of foot steps suddenly stopped eerily close to Jaden. "Come now, do you really think you can hide from the inevitable just by closing your eyes? I was hopping for more of a fight, but you're really a let down,"
A hand reached out and grabbed Jaden's chin forcefully and Jaden was pulled into his other half's lap. He opened his eyes to see powerful brown eyes, his brown eyes, smoldering him and he tried hard to hold back a whimper of fright only to fail. Shadow laughed at his display and grinned down at the helpless form in his lap. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you," he said. Jaden looked up with scared yet hopeful eyes as he begged the stars that that was true.
"You're not?" Shadow shook his head and leaned down towards Jaden's, stopping only once their lips were less then an inch apart.
"Nope, I've got other plans,"
"Like what?"
"You'll see, but don't get your hopes up. No matter what happens tonight you're noting waking up from this dream, as you'll soon find out," and with that their lips crashed together.
'So no matter what I'm going to die? There's really no hope left? I'm really a goner,' Jaden thought and tears started to stream down his face.

A/N: Cliff hanger, I know I'm being evil but I can't help it. But don't worry, I don't have writer's block at the moment, so as long as I don't get too much home work I should be able to update fairly quickly. ^_^.
