Moonlight Chat/ FIRE CRACKERS!
Amber paced the length of the temple walls. It wad been two weeks since she had last seen Chase Young. Raimundo and the others still didnt know what happened to her, she didnt want them to know. She looked up at the star filled night sky. The moon gave off a pale light making it seems as if she were glowing. The light breeze gave off a gental caress on her body. She had thought about what had happened that day countless times now, but had no more dreams. She was worried, but refused to show it. She thought about the days events. Ashlee and Jon got into another fight, Jon and Maria started to date, Raimundo kept trying to ditch his chores to come and talk to Amber. Laurie was...well Laurie. So far she succeded in finding out why you should never put a spider in Clay's shirt. Amber laughed at the memory. Clay had been dancing around, trying to get the spider out, before actually taking off his shirt. Which, Amber was sure, was Lauren's ultimate goal. Amber sighed. The other monks were alseep as far as she knew. No new shen gong wu had been found. She was bored, but at the same time, releived. No new shen gong wu ment a less chance of seeing Chase again.
"Amber? It's nearly midnight. Why are you still up?" Raimundo said, walking up to her and rubbing his eyes. It was easy to see he had just woken up. Amber turned from looking at the moon, to looking at Raimundo. Raimundo blushed lightly as the moon's light reflected off of her pale face. No matter how long in the sun she was, she never seemed to get any darker, and she refused to wear make up.
"I'm fine Rai. I just have a lot on my mind." Her eyes showed little emotion when she talked. Raimundo could tell something was up. Being with the girl for so long, he learned how to tell what she was feeling by her habits. Her refusal to show emotion was one of the signs that she was upset.
"I can tell something is wrong. I'm not as stupid as Jon, and even though I dont have that 'inner translator' like Lauren, I can still tell when something is wrong with you." Raimundo said. He stood next to her. She turned to look at the moon again.
"Dreams. I have been having strange dreams lately." She said.
"Like what?" Raimundo asked. Amber sighed.
"I've been having these dreams since I was little, but I couldnt see the faces of the people, couldnt see the people at all. Now I can see them, even when I look back at the dreams of my past."
"What kind of dreams?" Raimundo asked, looking at her. Amber turned to look at him with a smile.
"Dreams of a life long since ended, dreams of a time long ago. I dream of my past, and possibly my future. In my dreams, I see myself as a proud strong Xiaolin Warrior named Yui, inlove with not one, but two men. One is a fellow Xiaolin Warrior . The other, a Warrior of the Haylin. I see them fall for her, I see myself fall for them, a constant strife. She loves them both, but she can only have one. The side of evil? Or the Side of good? She couldnt decide. I have yet to see how it ends." Amber finished. She didnt turn to see Raimundo's expression, she knew that it would show shock.
"Who are they? the ones you see in your dreams?" Raimundo asked.
"The ones I see in my dreams? I see many. Master monk Gwan, who was my best friend, and like a brother to me. Master Dashi, another friend who looked out for me. Chase Young, a proud warrior who was my rival and couldnt understand how he could always be topped by a girl. I see another female Xialoin Warrior, named Yuli, who was like my sister.I also see Dojo, who was less pudgy. I saw Wuya and Hannible Bean. I saw a Haylin Warrior name Ephidel. Which do you wish to hear about? I will tell you all I know." Amber said. Raimundo thought about it for a secound.
"I want to hear about it all. I want to know everything." He finally said. Amber sighed again.
"In time, you may. But not here. We have a rat. maybe later." Amber passed by him, wispered something in his ear, and walked of to the building she shared with the other girls. Raimundo turned to see Master Fung walk away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raimundo waited at the garden. Just how Amber had asked him last night. Training was over, the chores where done, and amber had convinced Lauren and Maria to have everyone else play a game of 'screw your neighbor'. Omi's expression when Lauren asked if they wanted to play was priceless. Raimundo looked up at the sky. Amber STILL wasnt here yet. He waited for her, aimlessly kicking at random objects on the floor.
"JON YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH, GO TO HELL!!!!!" He suddenly heared Lauren scream. Raimundo, out of habit, turned to look in the direction of Lauren's scream. He turned in time to see Jon flying east, a trail of smoke and fire trailing behind him. How Lauren was able to get the fire, Raimundo hopes he will never know.
"Hehe. I wanted Lauren to beat up Jon, So i purposely set them up." Amber said, walking up behind Raimundo.
"What did Lauren use to make the fire?" Raimundo asked.
"A shit load of fire crackers." Amber said, smiling. Raimundo knew that Amber had given the fire crackers to Lauren, but how much she had left, he would rather not know.
"So are you going to tell me about what you see about Yui's past?" Raimundo asked. Amber looked around for a secound.
"Yes. what would you like to know?"
"Everything." Raimundo said. Amber laughed as if he had just said a funny joke.
"Ok. But you may not like all I have to say," Amber said," I guess I should start from the first dream I had."
--------------------------------------
People and Places (yay! finally someone new!):
Ephidel - the Haylin Warrior in Amber's dreams. He plays a key role (duh!) in Yui's Death.
terms of intrest:
Screw Your Neighbor - a card game. Dont ask me how to play it, I have no idea. Laurie does though! She asked me to play it once, Omi's expression mirrored my own.
Fire Crackers - Starting now, many of Amber's possesions will make appearances. The fire crackers are the first out of the stash she had hidden in her room. Although Laurie has a few, The main stash is now in the room the girls share. The commonly use them to play tricks on the boys at night.
Jon and Maria - i beleive I mentioned that jon is my Ex. But Maria and him Just started dating so I decided to add that since Maria is starting to read this story to. HI MARIA!!!
Amber's Dreams - Yui's past. Amber had dreams of them since she was little, but she couldnt see them, now she can. Laurie asked me how she knew everyones names in the past, the answer: Amber CAN hear them talking in her dreams. It is easy to simply hear their names while in the dreams. And the only ones she hasnt met in this life time yet are Master Dashi, Ephidel, and Master monk Gwan anyway.
