I never meant to make Book of Dreams serious (to me it seems a bot serious) Also I think I keep repeating explanations about the darkness in Rein and such and such. Tell me if I did and wat chapter but plz dont take this message as an advantage and start criticizing me. Anyways plz enjoy!
Shade's POV
I heard almost everything that Rein and that Quest kid had talked about. Some parts were barely audible but I was able to hear enough to under stand. Now, I was waiting for Rein to respond to me after my outburst. Then she looked at me and nodded. Her eyes looked scared but at the same time determined. She gestured me towards the table and we both sat down. I started to tap my finger on the table waiting for her to start but there was a really really long pause.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong already?" I asked almost like a demand. I was losing patience. I just wanted to be able to understand why Rein had been acting so weird so I could help her. I want to save her. She flinched at my statement but then started her sentence.
"Do you remember that time when Ash had said that the darkness will be to much for me to handle?" she asked shaking.
"Yeah."
She looked down at her lap and said, "The darkness has started corrupting my soul. It keeps whispering things to me. It's getting close to taking over my body. I'm trapped in the darkness like a bird. I can't escape the cage it has built for me." I looked at her sad face. She looked as though she was trying to stop her tears from falling again. But it didn't work out so well. It was easy to see the tears fall from her face on to the table. I was about to say something when she continued with her statement. "I'm scared. I'm really scared that one day the light will just... disappear." she said. "I just want to be able to fly freely again. I want to see the sky once more." she said with a sad smile.
"Rein, why didn't you tell us this before?" I asked. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it didn't concern you." she replied.
"Of course it concerns me! It concerns all of us! All 4 of us will face this problem together! That is what friends do!"
"But..." she said trying to argue.
"I will be the one who will break that cage!" I told her. "I will save you." She stared at me with a shocked, tear-stained face. She was about to say something else when Fine ran through the door and hugged Rein.
"Rein, are you alright!? I heard an explanation from Bright and I started running around the school trying to find you!" Fine said as she let go of Rein.
"I-I'm alright..." Rein said a bit startled.
"No you're not! Your face has tear stains! You have been crying haven't you!" she said. Then she turned to me. I was sitting across the table. "Shade, did you make Rein cry?! Now you have gone to far! I can't trust you to make Rein happy!" Fine yelled.
"W-Wait! Fine, calm down! I-" I replied as I backed away from Fine. My hands were in front of my body in an 'I'm innocent' kind of way.
"Fine, Shade didn't make me cry. This was due to another reason." Rein said getting in front of me. Fine stopped and stared at Rein with a confused face.
"What was the reason?" she asked. I could tell that Rein didn't want to tell her but luckily Bright came in.
"So this is where everyone was. I thought I lost all of you." Bright exclaimed as he walked towards us.
"You came just on time Bright." I said as I got off the wall.
Bright stared at the entire scene and said, "What exactly happened while I wasn't here?" Fine stood next to him, wanting to know the answer as well. I glanced at Rein who seemed reluctant to the idea of telling them. I then grabbed her hand and started backing towards the window. She stared at me with confusion. I showed her a face that said 'trust me'.
"That's a s-e-c-r-e-t!" I said while jumping out the window with Rein.
"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!" I heard Rein scream as we fell. Fine and Bright were staring down the window. Fine's face was angry while Bright's was dazed. Luckily at the very bottom was a tree branch. I landed on it and let go of Rein. "What was that?!" she shouted.
"That was me saving you from telling your secret." I smirked. She stared at me shocked. Then she smiled.
"Thanks." she said. "Well, I'm gonna head back to class. I have to get ready for a scolding or something." she said as she jumped down. I waved good-bye to her as well.
"What makes you think you can break the cage?" asked a voice. Quest appeared next to me. He stared at Rein who continued to walk towards the school front doors.
"Because she still has a chance of breaking free." I replied.
"You still don't understand. She is trapped in the darkness. She can't escape. She already explained that to you. You can't save her." he said. He was still staring at Rein. His face showed a sad expression.
"But she said that she still saw the light. She still has a chance." I countered. He stared at me with a strange face. Then he looked back at Rein.
"Do you still have... the book?" he asked hesitating. I took it out and showed it to him.
"Yeah. Why'd you ask?"
"That book is a book that holds all the knowledge in the universe. It can bring peace and harmony or it can bring chaos and destruction. That's why the creator of this book made it so that only special people are aloud to read it. Only those who have seen how cruel the world truly is can read the book. That is why if they read the book, they would decide what kind of world they would like to live in. One with peace or one with war. The creator of the book was... the Black Raven." he said.
"What is with the sudden explanation of the book?" I asked.
He looked at me and finally said, "Your friend has surprised me. When she told me that I was not a bad person I was shocked. That was the first time I heard someone tell me that. Or at least I think it was. I don't think you heard this in our conversation but the thing that she treasures most is her friends. She kept telling me to stop making the shadows attack her friends and other people. Even though she knew that one day you will leave her she still held friends dearly. It was my first time hearing something like that." he said, his head turned back towards the school doors.
"Because she actually believes we will always be by her side. She believes that we won't abandon her like in the past." Quest continued to stare at the school doors where Rein last was.
"I feel very bad for her. She doesn't seem like a person who deserves this." he suddenly said. Once he finished his statement I also realized that he still had a chance to escape as well.
"What exactly happened in your past?" I asked.
He looked down so I couldn't see his face and said, "I can't remember..." After that he faded into the black and purple flames. What was with that sudden change of heart? I wondered.
I keep confusing myself when Im giving the information about the darkness and such. I just cant find the right words to put in it. ITS SO FRUSTRATING! I also sort of have a writers stump (I think you call it) for EightPawns... So that might take a while to update. Now plz review even though your very busy!
