I understand that it has been a long ass time since I updated, so I am giving a treat to those of you who are still loyal fans: If you review to tell me you're not too mad, I will dedicate the next chaps to you!
Chapter:4
The day was short and soon the brothers found themselves at home; each in his own room. The twins used to share a room till they were around ten, and then the... *cough* erm... hormones started to kick in. They now had separate rooms, which were usually a good thing, but at times it was kind of frustrating. Like now for instance,
Dai sat at his desk doing his homework, when he felt a sharp pain in his temples. His hand flew to his head as colors started to swirl and the pain intensified. He fell out of his chair, crumpling to the ground in pain. He let out a small whimper. His eyes began to see frightening flashes of color and, every so often, scenery.
He stayed on the ground in pain for what seemed like days, before finally he felt an over whelming sense of peace.
He stood up and looked around. As far as he could tell there wasn't anything particularly interesting, just a lot of black, and a moon and stars. He began to wonder what was going on when a figure came out of no where, visible in the moonlight.
"Am I dead?" He asked.
The figure let out a chuckle.
"No," It said. "Just somewhere new."
"What is this place?" He looked around then back at the figure.
"It has no name, it simply exists."
"Well, how did I get here? Why am I here for that matter?" He said a bit put off.
"All will be answered in due time young one, for now, observe your surroundings." And with that the figure vanished again, leaving not a trace of its existence.
"Wait!" he yelled after the shadow. "Don't leave me here! How do I get home?! Help! Please." The last word was but a whisper, as he realized his efforts were in vain.
At a complete loss of what to do he began to wonder about. He still couldn't see anything, so he felt around with his hands and feet, finding nothing but a few branches and rocks. He finally saw a shimmer in the distance, and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.
When he finally arrived, he saw that the shimmer was a pond.
What is this? The only source of light I've found, and it's just a reflection of the moon? He thought with a look that said 'This place is fucked!'
"LET ME OUT!" He screamed. "I WANNA GO HOME!"
"LET ME OUT!" He heard. "I WANNA GO HOME!"
He turned to look for the source of the voice, and was met with his reflection.
"It...echoes?" He asked aloud.
"Yes." He turned to see the girl from his dream. The one called Riku.
"Ahh!"
"Something wrong?" She asked with a confused look. "Never seen a hot girl before?"
"No, it-it's not that. You just...startled me is all." He said with a slight scoff.
"Well, sorry" She said sarcastically.
"Look, I'm sorry, I don't usually act like this, I'm just...frustrated!" He pulled at his hair in anger. "Can, can you get me out of here? Please?" He asked solemnly
"Look, the truth is I don't know how to get you out, I don't even know why you're here." She said truthfully with a shrug.
"So, you can't help me?" He asked matter a fact-ly.
"Nope. But I can keep you company." She suggested.
"Look, if you can't help me, just leave." He said as he turned and began to walk into the darkness.
"Hey no need to be rude! I was just trying to help geez." She called after him. "Ungrateful bastard." She mumbled to her self.
Dai walked deeper and deeper into the darkness, regretting every step he took that took him further from the lake; the only source of comfort he had.
He walked on for what felt like hours before he saw the light. He ran so fast even the darkness seemed to blur.
When he finally reached the source of the light he found the same pond as before.
He screamed in rage.
This place is just one giant circular trap! He thought with anger. It seemed he would never make it out of here.
He looked into the waters of the pond to see the reflection of the moon, full and bright even on the water.
He sighed. He was stuck, and he knew it. Well, it was more of him not knowing the way out.
He continued to stare into the pond, hypnotized by it's beauty; his eyes drawn to the brightest source of light in the dark place with no name.
As he watched, he could make out the faintest of colors in the reflection of the moon. He saw them move for a second, before they would vanish. Curious as to what the colors were, he reached his hand toward the water. Slowly his fingers brushed the water.
The moment his fingers touched the water he felt a pull in the pit of his stomach. He then realized he was being physically pulled into the water. His first thought was panic as he realized his body was going under. The second, was that his body was beginning to form into what could only be described as colored paint draining into a sink. He saw as his body began to take this form.
He cried out in panic and despair, before he felt the comfort of someone else touching him; if someone could grab him, then he must not be liquid!
He barley had time to comprehend the thought when he was pulled forcefully from the water. He turned ready to thank his savior, but when he turned, he was at a loss for words.
"Well, are you gonna thank me or not?"
"How did you get here!"
"Questions later, first let's get out of here."
"You know the way out?! How many times have you been here!?"
"Questions later I said, geez!"
"But, but..."
"Geez little bro, you are quite the moron right now." Dai looked up to see his brother grinning down at him.
Well? Opinions!? Too short I know, then next will be longer I promise! Special thanks to those who reviewed my last chaps! Once again read and review!
