Chapter 5 – A Bad Dream (By Keane)

Emma's POV

After the swim I headed back to the rental house that my family is renting out until we find something that ticks all the right boxes in this area. The house was very small compared to our former house and the hotel rooms we would stay in too. Fortunately it wasn't small enough that my younger brother Elliot and I had to share a room; that would be the icing on the world's worst cake! The actual house itself wasn't too bad; every thing was just at the satisfactory level which isn't really what I am used to.

As I entered the combined kitchen/dining room I found mum in the kitchen preparing dinner. Wow I didn't realize that I had spent that much time at Mako Island! "Hey Em, Did you catch up with Rikki and Cleo?" she said walking over from the stove where she was stirring a pot of boiling water with potatoes and gave me a hug. I nodded in acknowledgement. At this point I think she could sense something was wrong since I couldn't stop talking about seeing the girls again and now I hadn't said one word. It's true though, I was really looking forward to seeing them. While we were travelling I had all these fantasies of how I would surprise Rikki and Cleo by returning without them knowing about it beforehand. Surprisingly, the current situation was never one of my dreams.

"Did you have fun?" mum asked me noticing that I wasn't going on and on about what I did today like when I had been excited to see the girls. "Yeah, heaps" I said giving her a small fake smile which was probably so unconvincing before rushing to my room before she interrogated me more. When I entered my room I lay down on my bed curling up in a ball, then the tears came. I hadn't cried at Mako, it was more anger but now it felt like they weren't ever going to stop. Life sucks was the last thing I thought before I drifted off to darkness, crying myself to sleep.

In the darkness everything felt soft and numb, but a good numb. This state of unconsciousness was the best I had felt in several hours.

I was swimming in the ocean, smiling radiantly; I seemed really happy. After a while of swimming on my own Cleo & Rikki appeared swimming either side of me. We smiled at each other and flicked our tails in a certain way to activate the jet swimming. After jet swimming to Mako Island the three of us surfaced in the moon pool after swimming through the short tunnel entrance. Although the salt water didn't sting my eyes I closed my eyes for a few seconds, this just helped our eyes adjust from underwater to land. I then opened my opened my eyes again, when I did I saw myself, Cleo and Rikki leaning on the rock side of the pool talking and laughing like in the good old days. The girls weren't aware that the 'other me' was watching them. I then started smiling at the nice memory, but no sooner had I started smiling at the girls I watched helplessly as my body and tail morphed into the body of Bella who then turned around gave me an evil smirk and slight head shake as if to say 'I've won, back off' and then turned back to the other girls who were still oblivious to my presence.

I bolted upright in bed, gasping heavily feeling really distressed. Once my breathing calmed and I realized it was just a nightmare, I got out of bed and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. I tried to locate the glasses in the dark, not knowing where anything was and trying not to make a noise. I tell you, that kept my mind off my dream for a couple of minutes trying to juggle all of that! As I finished drinking my glass of water I whispered to myself quietly, "It was just a bad dream" and then walked back to my bedroom to face a night of restless sleep.

I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Whatya think? Remember Chap 8 is where the juicey stuff begins. If you want Chap 6 then I need 7 reviews! ;) Thanks heaps
