Chapter 2
Keres
That very same night, nearly all was quiet, except for the tossing and turning of a fiery redheaded girl, Kim Possible. Her soft delicate hands clenched tightly onto the sheets of her bed. Her eyes were closed tightly as she slept into the night. Kim dreamt of things that she had never dreamt of before. There was darkness in her head, casting a veil over everything. She knew she was dreaming, but this was unlike any of her normal dreams.
"I hope you're up for the fight of your life!" whispered a voice in her dreams.
"Where am I? Who are you?" Kim asked.
"You'll know soon enough. All in due time, but for now, let me shed a little light on things." cackled the voice.
Kim gasped and she fell to her knees. She felt the ground beneath her to be wet, but it wasn't a normal wetness, it was a thick wetness. And the foul stench that came from it had her clenching her stomach as she fought back the urge to throw up. Just as her eyes focused in on something in front of her, she felt the warm uneasy breathing of something standing close behind her.
"…. Soon, you'll pray for it all to be a dream, soon you'll wish to…"
"Wake up."
Kim quickly sat up, her body covered in a cold sweat. She looked to her side, finding her mother standing next to her.
"I'm sorry Kimmy. I hope I didn't startle you too much, but I had to wake you, you sounded like you were having a bad dream." Her mother kindly said.
At first Kim wasn't quite sure that she was awake. The room almost felt like it was spinning. She looked at her mom and briefly smiled. "I'm okay. Thanks mom."
"Do you remember what you were dreaming about?"
"No, I don't, it's all blurry."
"I'll let you get back to bed" Her mother placed her hand on Kim's shoulder, reassuring her that everything was okay, and then left, closing the door behind her.
Kim sat there in the room. Quietly trying to recall what she dreamt. She lay back down and permitted herself to drift back to sleep.
The very next morning Kim awoke to another beautiful sunny day in Middleton. Kim grabbed her things and headed off to her car. Just as she was about reach for her keys, her communicator beeped.
"What's the sitch Wade?"
"The silent alarm at the Omni Corporation was just activated." Wade responded.
"The Omni Corporation, I've never heard of them. Are they new?" Kim asked.
"That's what struck me as odd. I don't have any information on them. Nothing at all, almost as if they just sprung up over night." Wade replied in a concerned voice.
"Okay, it's probably a trap. Could you let Ron know where to meet up with me Wade?"
Wade bit his lip and his face revealed a concerned look, "That's the other thing Kim I can't seem to get a hold of him. He's not responding at all. I can't even locate him."
"He's probably in trouble. Okay, I'm headed over there now. Let me know if he turns up." Kim jumped into her car and turned the ignition on, quickly speeding off and darting through traffic. After a few minutes of driving Kim arrived at a large ominous looking building. The structure was no more than three stories high, but something about it seemed "off".
Kim stared through the large pane windows on the ground floor and darted towards the main door. A pair of dark silhouettes sat motionless at a large desk. She opened the door and stagnant gust of air escaped the cold structure.
"Hi, someone here triggered the silent alar…" Kim's eyes froze. Fixed on the two figures in front of her, both of the guards were dead. Their uniforms spattered with blood and their faces appeared to have been stripped away of its flesh. Their empty eye sockets stared back at her, their open mouths almost cried out with the unimaginable pain that they suffered before they died.
Kim backed away slowly, but the doors that she had entered through were gone. She turned around searching frantically for some means of escape, but it was as if there had never been any doors there, even the glass panes were gone, replaced by cold gray concrete.
"What's going on here?" she thought to herself. Kim reached quickly for her communicator. "Wade…" On the screen of the communicator Wade could be seen screaming, as something unseen pulled him gradually away from his desk.
"Wade!" Kim screamed. "Wade!" she screamed again, but the young boy fought back in vain, kicking a black figure, as it dragged him into the shadows. The communicator suddenly started transmitting sound.
"No… no… NO!" Wade screamed for a few seconds, the sound of him kicking still transmitting, and finally his pleas for mercy silenced. Kim felt uneasy and uncertain of what was going on. Even more, she had no idea what to do. She had never seen anything like this.
