Chapter Fifteen
As the night progressed, all I could think about was Emily's last words before Mike interrupted. I repeated them over and over in my head as everyone cuddled and relaxed while watching 'It's a Wonderful Life' and drank hot cocoa. "I was terrified of him, but not for the reason you think."
When we all called it a night, the heaviness of the wind and rain outside sounded like bombs. I sat up in my bed, holding a pillow as Cobra Zord watched me with concerned eyes. My mind wandered, and before I knew it, I fell asleep.
This new dream was just that: new. I was running, not to something, but from something. The trees around me floated, as if gravity gave up on the earth. I could hear a whole army coming after me. As soon as I blinked, the forest lit on fire. I was grabbed from behind and tied up. My head began to bleed as it was bashed against a rock. I saw Cobra Zord in his mega Zord form being tortured by giant Moogers. I found I couldn't scream. All I could do was cry. But these enemies seemed to like my pain. Each of the three hundred Moogers took turns beating me, some raping me. And I couldn't produce a sound.
Then, out of the ashes and flame came four figures. One was the same female Nighlok from the exchange named Dayu. The other was a white haired Nighlok with a smile of pure sneering evil and eyes as wide and white as stars. The other was Master Xandred. But the other was strangely human. It was a man with a thick black beard and black hair that flowed to his shoulders. He was garbed in white. He knelt down to grab my face. As he stared, he kissed me. Lightning flashed as I spat in his face.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a horrific sight. Moogers had the team in bonds, lined up and scarred. They were assembled near a Nighlok with an ax. I tried to fight off my captures as Mia was forced to bend over a wooden plank. The Nighlok raised his ax and came down on Mia's neck. I screamed silent cries as Mia's head tumbled along the un even ground. As I wept, my surroundings began to melt away like tar over a brick. The rest of the team faded like dust, and so did my bonds and captures. Before I could run, the ground opened up and swallowed me whole. I fell into a hollow space that was pitch black. I couldn't see three inches in front of me. Suddenly, a light that burned my eyes appeared. As I cowered on the ground, a figure stepped forward and reached out his hand. He was a headless body, but with human features. As I hesitated, the figure spoke. "I will find you, Silver Ranger." In the darkness, I heard my name being chanted by every voice I've ever known. The darkness began to fade as I began to wake up.
"June! June! Wake up June!" I heard Antonio say. I snapped out of it and realized that the team was in my room with Antonio gripping my shoulders, shaking me back to reality. I panted from fear, and wiped my head from the sweat. Jayden hugged me. "We thought you were dying June. Are you ok?" I caught my breath and reassured everyone that it was just a bad dream. As everyone went back to bed, I went shower off. Antonio insisted on staying with me. As the hot water fell down my body, I couldn't help but wonder why my dream faded after only Mia was executed. I left aside that thought for tonight as Antonio held me in his arms once I got back to bed. As we kissed, it escaladed to sex. I decided then and there to leave this dream translation to tomorrow.
