Chapter 13

Dreams

"huh... Where am I..?" I asked as i walked around.. seeing nothing but a black empty space... I wandered around... but then i stopped... I heard a voice shouting in pain...

"Who's there!?" I demanded for an answer, but no response... i kept on walking around... not knowing where to go... until...

"whats this..?" I felt something on my feet... I looked at it closer... Immediately, I jumped back... as sweat came down my face... i can feel myself tremble as i saw what it was...

A severed Head... Tears were coming out of it, and blood... I feel on my knees, how can i let someone die..? I'm a woo-foo warrior.. I'm supposed to save lives... I regret for letting someone die... but i cannot do anything to bring this person back... I kept on walking... I kept on hearing the shouts of pain.. but, still i only found either a severed body part.. or a dead body... How did this happen? Just a few minutes ago, i was in the desert... i asked myself repeated questions.. how could i let this happen? Then i stopped... I saw someone standing... It was too dark, i couldn't see his face.. I walked closer to him...

"who.. are you..?" I asked as i walked closer.. but something made me stop... I saw a corpse beside him... and blood on his hands... i took a few steps backward... with fear in my eyes... He was responsible for everyone i saw dead... He smiled at me..

"W-What are you..?" I asked as i trembled in fear..

"I.. am you.." He pointed his finger at me...

I couldn't speak... I wanted to ask if he was joking me.. But, no.. i couldn't speak.. I feel like my body has turned numb.. Filled with confusion... But.. I must avenge whom he had killed... I stood up.. and took my twin daggers out... then I looked at him.. I dropped my daggers when i saw his face... the darkness around faded slowly... He had orange fur... Red Pupils.. and he was wearing a black armor... with a giant sword in his hands.. i also saw dark energy coming out of him... I couldn't move my body... Its like I've been immobilized, He was me... He was Lee... I feel on my knees as i looked down on the ground....

"Did.. I do this..?" I asked looking at a severed arm, lying on the ground... I got no reply... I looked up.. but i didn't see him anymore... I was relieved, as i wiped the sweat on my face.. i stopped... I shouted in terror... as i saw myself wearing the armor he wore... i had his sword in my arm... and... dark energy was coming out of me... But the worst part... i saw blood on the sword... and.. i saw her corpse in front of me...

"No! No, no, no... Yin, No!! How did i do this..?! How!?" I yelled and yelled, seeing that i just killed the person i love.. how could i forgive myself? And how did i.. kill all these people... am I..? a murderer...? am i a menace..? am i a threat?!! I yelled...

"Yes.. Lee.. you are.." I heard a voice from inside my head...

"No! I am not! This is not who i am!" I yelled back... "NOOOOO!!!" I yelled and yelled until...

"Lee, wake up!" I heard a voice...

"who.. are you..?" I slowly opened my eyes...
"It's me, Fade.." he said...

I stood up.. i saw that i was wearing my blue jacket again.. It was just a dream..? I asked myself...

"Fade, where are we..?" I asked, I looked around, we were hiding beside a big rock..

"We were being chased by Ruffians.. you feel unconscious after i accidentally hit you with a rock.."

"so.. were hiding from the ruffians, behind this rock..?" I asked, still in confusion..

"Yea.. that's about it.." Then, He checked if there were any ruffians.. "hm.. there are many of them.."

"well, now what?"

"Maybe.. I can teleport us outta here.." It seemed like a good plan..

"Alright.. Let's go for it.." In a flash, Fade teleported both of us... i guess anywhere would be better than being hunted by ruffians... I guess, i could fight back against them... but then, the dream flashed in my mind... what if i accidentally kill them..? Then i trembled again... No, I when i think of fighting.. why do i feel an urge to kill..?

"Because your born to kill..." The voice whispered into my mind again... "Kill them, before they kill you.." It said... can i really.. with these hands.. take a person's life..?

"Lee!! Stop daydreaming! Were being chased by ruffians!" Fade shouted..

"huh? How did..?" I was confused even more...

"I accidentally teleported us right in front of the ruffians!" Fade pulled me as he kept running away from the ruffians...

"cant you teleport right?!" I yelled at Fade..

"Maybe.. we don't need to teleport.. we can take them on!" Fade stopped as he took his katanas...

Me, on the other hand.. i couldn't take out my daggers.. Fade was already fighting... No.. why cant i fight..?

"Fight! Or your friend will die.." The voice whispered... He was right.. Fade will die if i don't help.. If i have to kill, just to protect.. I'll do it... I slowly took out my daggers... Then in a flash... I killed one of them.. as blood splattered on my face... i didn't feel guilt.. nor mercy.. why do i feel like i wanna keep on killing..? I didn't notice.. i just killed 3 more ruffians.. My Jacket was stained with blood, my daggers too... I couldn't stop.. before i knew it i just killed almost half of them.. and fade was was taking hold of me...

"Lee.. stop it..." He said... I dropped my daggers on the sand that turned red...

"Fade.. What am I..?" I asked... Then he released me..

"Lee.. Even i.. don't know anymore.."

I looked around.. I've killed a lot of people.. What.. is happening to me..?

In Yin's Group..

"Miley.. It's been a long time.." Mia smiled..

"Mia... stay back.." Miley took a step back..

"Oh..? Is that a way to great an old friend?"

"What are you gonna do..?" Miley asked nervously..

"I need you help to---" She couldn't continue speaking...she fell on the ground..

"Dammit.. Lee has woke up..." Then she fell unconscious.. Miley ran to her...

"Mia.. wake up!" Miley was concerned...

Then she opened her eyes...

"Miley..? What happened..?"

"Yin..? Your back!" Miley hugged her..

"Where did i go..?" Yin asked.. confused

"Never mind that.. we gotta find Lee and Fade..."

"Right.." Yin and Miley stood up and started walking again...

In Lee's Group

The Ruffians ran away from us.. because they were afraid of me..

One of them fell down.. I ran to him.. trying to help him get up..

"Get away from me! You Monster!!" He shouted... Then he ran as fast as he could..

I looked at my hands.. covered in blood...

"Fade.. am I.. a monster..?" I asked hoping for hope..

"No.. You are just confused.." He replied...

Then they saw Miley and Yin..

"Yin! Miley!" I greeted them...

"Lee.. why are you covered in blood...?" Yin asked.. worried

"I'd like to ask you the same question.." I saw that her clothes were blood-stained too..

"Yin saved me from that scorpion.." Miley explained..

"Well, now that were all here... let's be on our way again..." I tried not to make myself explain, that i have killed someone with my own hands.. Yin will never forgive me if i told her...

"Lee.. you still haven't told me why your covered in blood.." she wanted to know...

"Answers can wait.. we have to stop the black assassin, first!" I convinced her to wait.. But will i ever tell her..? and now. I still hear that voice asking me to kill someone.. But, I wont..! He only came from a dream... just a dream..

See Ya next Time!
