Chapter 15

Sky's Nightmare

Sky is standing in the middle of a forest with nothing but a single torch. "Hello, is anyone there". "You could have saved me Sky, but you betrayed me for that mad man". Lee was now standing in front of her covered in blood. "I would still be alive and you wouldn't feel so guilty". He disappeared but his voice was projected around Sky. "Do you really think they trust you. They hardly know you".

"Shut up, your not real, I just need to wake up, come on Sky wake up"! Sky had her hands over her ears, trying to block Lee's voice out. But she could still hear him, so she ran. "That's right Sky, run away like you always have". She kept running until she ran into something. She looked up and Lee was hovering over her. "But you can't run from your past".

Sky woke up and she was trembling and sweating. Luckily no one else was awake so she quietly grabbed her journal and went down to the smeltery to write down what Lee had said. Her clock said that it was nearly dawn so Hannah would be up to tend to the farm so Sky got her bow and sword and went outside towards the farm they had set up.

As the sun was rising Sky saw Hannah walking over. "You're up early Sky". She shrugged and said "Couldn't sleep had a nightmare". Hannah was tending to the chickens as she asked what the nightmare was about. Sky explained about the forest and what Lee had said.

"It's just your mind playing tricks on you, theres nothing to worry about okay" Hannah was now sat on the roof of the farm with Sky. "Have you had nightmares like this before". Sky flicked through her journal to the page about a nightmare she had a couple of months ago. "There was this one dream that seemed more like a memory rather than a dream. Here read this", Sky handed the journal to Hannah.

I was laying in a field next a castle, only I wasn't alone as my dad was throwing a party to celebrate one of his work mates friends 14th birthday. I must have been about 4 at the time. The birthday boy walked over and asked me if I was okay. The boy had blonde hair and goggle (like Duncan's only newer). Than an owl flew onto his head messing his hair up then flew away again. Two girls were on the floor laughing. One had blonde hair that was mostly covered with an owl hat and the other had red hair and was holding a mushroom. Everything seemed peaceful until a huge explosion caused everyone to scatter. I was shouting for my dad but I couldn't be heared over the noise of guns being shot. Then I felt a shooting pain in my right shoulder and thats when I woke up from the dream.

Hannah looked shocked, "I think we should go talk to the rest of them about this". She jumped down from roof helping Sky down and the two walked back to the base just as everyone was waking up.

"We need to have meeting in ten minutes, it's important" Hannah shouted as they came in. Sky walked down to the smeltery and sat it the corner of the room where all the blocks were. Duncan came down with some ores he and Simon collected the day before. He saw Sky and placed them into the nearest chest and went to sit next to her. "What's up" he asked putting his arm around her, trying to comfort her as much as he could. "You'll find out when we have that meeting. Lets just say Hannah is worried, so it must be bad."

They sat like this for a couple of minutes before Hannah shouted for everyone to come to the table. Duncan sighed and stood up. He held his hand out to help Sky get up, she took it but didn't let go. He smiled and they walked upstairs and sat round at the table as one by one everyone appeared. Hannah explained that Sky was worried about her nightmares and that a couple of months ago she had this one. She then read for Sky's journal and everyone had a shocked look on their face.

Zoey stood up and went up to Sky and hugged her. "What's that for", Sky asked as Zoey let go. "What you wrote about was not just a dream, it was the day the war started between us and Sis Co. The day Duncan turned 14 was the last time we saw you, Lee and your father", Rythian explained.

Sky looked at the ground, then at everyone, stood up and ran out of the door. Duncan ran after her but she was a lot quicker then him. She felt emotionly drained but she knew she needed some time to think. Sky finally stopped when she saw a small house on a hill. She knew Duncan wasn't that far behind, so she sat just outside it. A few minutes later Duncan ran up the hill and sat next to her.

He was out of breath but still asked her why she ran off. "I just... I dunno Duncan". She started to cry into her hands. He put his arm around her and she buried her head into his shoulder. "It's fine, you don't have to explain" he said trying to calm her down. They must have been sat there for a couple of hours as the sun was setting when they started to make their way back to the base. "If you want we could just go do some mining when we get back", Sky nodded, knowing if spoke, she would start crying again.

They got back and Sky went straight to her chest and got her hammer and torches out. Duncan was saying to Hannah and Kim that she doesn't want to talk and that they are going to do some mining for a bit. So Sky and Duncan went down into the mine, talking about life before the war.

Thanks for reading so far. Remember to review and pm me who out of the Yogscast you would like Sky and the rest to meet next.
