I must have fallen asleep because then next time I opened them, it was darker than dark. I mean it was really dark! I stood up and first pinched myself and made sure I wasn't dreaming. Then I placed my hand on the wall and took a step and then another. If I am going to go to sleep, I am doing it on the living room couch, not the floor. I took another step and nearly fell. I had reached the stairs. I shook my head and closed my eyes. I calmed down and then used Aura Spread. The difference between Aura Spread and Aura seek was when you seek, you look for something, spread was just checking your surroundings. I walked down the stairs getting a bluish glow to everything around me.

Then as I reached the bottom step I scanned the room to find no one. Good, some peace. Eyes still closed, I walked over to a basket and pulled out a spare blanket and I collapsed onto the couch. Instantly, sleep over came me.

"Mommy…why is sissy not moving?"…My mother looked down at me. Her face shrouded in shadows. "Because she was a bad, and bad people have bad things happen to them." She said and I knew it was a lie. I looked back down at my older sister who was leaking red stuff all over the rug. My mommy held something shiny…and I seen it on TV. On the cop shows. The bad guys hurt people with them; the cops help people with them and sometimes hurt the bad guys too. And they leak red stuff too.

Suddenly the room began to spin and I was now on top of our house. I looked up and saw only one star in the sky, it was red. It was my sister. Then there was a clicking sound and the shiny thing was placed to my head. I froze up and sky blue tears fell from my eyes. "Why mommy?" I asked and the figure behind me said "Because you're a freak!" I looked down at myself and saw I was a lynx. My tears turned red just like the star and then mommy pulled the trigger.

I gasped and fell of the couch. I was scared stiff. I had had nightmares before but nothing like that. I sat up and felt my heart beat. I took deep breaths and closed my eyes. I needed to get out, out of this place and get some air. I stood up on shake legs and ran to a window. This was like the six or seventh floor but I leaped out the window and landed on a thing ledge. After I took a few more breaths. Then I shook my head and grabbed hold of the wall. I was headed to the only place I love, the sky. Having more strength and since I am used to this body, it was an easier climb, unlike my first one. All during my thoughts and climbing the side of the wall, I didn't bother an Aura Spread, or notice tears falling from my face.

Yes, my mom did kill my sister. I only have a vague memory of her, and I haven't figured out why she died and I didn't. I never told anyone because I had slowly sealed away that memory and for some reason it came back. My sister's name was…Angel. That's what I gave her. I don't know her real name but now she has one. I think I was…two? Maybe three. I kicked up with my back feet and nearly made it to the top, and that's when my Aura kicked in and told me someone was there. Might be Lightning. I skipped out on checking the person by their Aura because my arms where getting tired and so where my legs. I grasped the ledge and started to pull myself up when my arm just gave away and I let go. Shit!

I closed my eyes as I started to fall backwards but before I could go anywhere, a hand reached out and grabbed mine and stopped my fall. My first thing to do was to look up and I me a pair of golden eyes. I would have rather fallen then the awkwardness coming. The person helped me up and I collapsed on my knees onto the top and the person said "You could of just used your warp ring." I looked up and smirked. "Now where is the fun in that?"

"Fun as in falling to your death?" they asked and I took a breath and said "Well, that part no. But it brings you a challenge and you can't turn back. Got to keep moving forward. Also I needed to clear my head and get some exercise or I won't be ready for my next bash with Scourge." They chuckled and then said "And look where it got you, child." I rolled my eyes and huffed.

"What are you even doing up here?" I asked and they said "I could ask you the same thing." I sighed and said "Bad Dream." Then I walked to the edge of the top and sat down by the ledge. The person stayed where they were at and I patted the spot next to me, and they slowly walked over and sat down next to me. I looked over the horizon and saw the faint orange light slowly appearing over the land, starting to turn the trees into a beautiful color of melding green and fiery reddish-orange. The water turned orange and silver and small duck flicys swam into the water creating ripples and small waves.

I looked up into the fading black sky and felt complete peace…until I saw a star… the sky had turned it red and the nightmare came back and ruined my peace…more like shattered it. Tears formed in my eyes and slowly dripped down onto my lap.

"Are you okay Celty?" I realized that I forgot he was here and I sighed and said "Yes, just fine." Should have just nodded because my voice cracked. God I hate my life.

"You don't sound fine." He said and I shook my head and said "Just a memory I would have rather forgotten." There was a silence but it wasn't awkward like always. "Do you…want to talk about it?" he asked and usually I would have been surprised but I was just too troubled by the dream to actually think about that. But I did looked over at him and asked "You, you want to listen about my problems…it seems…different of you." He shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

"When I was little, I woke up one night. I had heard a loud noise, it was a gunshot but I didn't know it at the time." I started out and he said "Continue." I closed my eyes trying to remember ever detail. "I walked down stairs and saw my mother standing over my sister. She was holding a gun, and my sister was lying on the floor. My mom said something that didn't make since to me but they do now. My sister, Angel. She found something out that she wasn't supposed to."

"What was it?" he asked and I shrugged and said "I don't know if I do know. But whatever it was, it was very important to my mother. My father went on trip that same week and it was just me and my mother left in that house. She reported Angel missing and then after the cops moved there search away from our house, she buried Angel in the flower patch. And Roses grow there every winter. It was different. The only flowers that we had that didn't die of the cold." I finished my little story and closed my eyes and looked around with my Aura. Everything was waking up from their dreams and nightmares alike.

Then just like that, my day got worse. A crackle was heard and a drop of rain landed on my ear and I flicked it off and said "It's about to storm. We should get inside." There was a chuckle and I opened my eyes and he said "You should look at the sky first." I did just that. I looked up and saw just small clouds that promised nothing more than a light sprinkle. Then he said "Down there." I looked down and saw that a tree had fallen over from old age and termites eating away.

"You should use your real eyes more often." He said and I smiled. "But using my Aura has its advantages. Like Scourge is awake and…" I closed my eyes and continued. "He's trying to get Flying for tripping him down half the stairs. Lightning is half awake and the others are asleep. And out in the woods are small creatures like flicys. And over by the ocean is...is sea life such as fish and plants. All working together to keep their home, the reef, in harmony and safe."

I opened my eyes and then said "Fiona just slapped Scourge for saying something about another girl." More chuckling and I said "I'm actually glad I had that nightmare."

"Oh? And why is that?" he asked and I said "Because if I didn't, Scourge would probably be fighting with me right now…and I wouldn't have had this nice time with you, and I wouldn't have seen the sunrise with you."…

…My face turned redder than knuckles fur. "I-I mean…um…" I looked the other direction and blushed even more. I faced palmed and cursed inside of my head. God…I hope he wasn't paying attention to the last part. I closed my eyes and checked the Aura around us. Mine was all light like a cloud and his was somewhat…so he was a little embarrassed. I screwed this up.

"Thanks." I said and stood up. He looked up and asked "For what?" I smiled and opened a warp ring and said "For listening." Then I stepped through and nearly crashed into Scourge…again. But this time we didn't collide but Scourge hit a wall. He rubbed his head and then asked "Have you seen Dr. Creepy Von Evil?" I narrowed my eyes and said "Don't call him that. And he is on the top of the temple."
