Chapter 34: Dreams of the Future
(Mag's POV)
It was night time; I was sleeping when Crystal's screams made me wake up. "NO! STOP! AHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" "Crystal!" I yelled. I got out of bed jumping to her side trying to wake her. Ally and Molly were woken as well, and everyone else was woken by the commotion and rushing to our room. "CRYSTAL!" I started to shake her and she woke up screaming. "AHHHH! What? Oh I had the worst dream!" "I hugged her, hanging on to her as she quietly sobbed. "It was just a dream Crystal," I said as the others entered the room. "What's wrong with Crystal?!" father yelled. "She had a nightmare," I said. "NO!" she yelled "It was real. I felt it! It was terrifying. And it had to do with…. that child we know of." I yanked back and starred at her, "You mean…. that child?" She nodded her head. "You mean the child we knew of before…." Ally trailed off not daring to say more of the thing we knew of. "What are you talking about?" Uncle asked. I puffed out air, the secret is out. "Before our mom left," I said taking a breath "she said she was pregnant again." Gasps fill the room. Father was the most surprised. "How… why…" father couldn't seem to talk right. "Before she left, she told us she was to have another child. She was only a few weeks, but it was certain she would have another," Ally said. The room was silent except the occasional gasp and breathes. "Through secret letters she told us it was another boy, by now he should be 8 years old," I said. "Why would she keep this a secret?" Uncle asked. "She left with him so he would train; he is actually the ninja of darkness. An influence at an early age could have swayed him into evil," I said "he is currently with our grandmother and aunt." The boys gasped. "Sensei," Kai said "why didn't you tell us you had a sister?" Both Uncle and father sighed; I knew it was hard to speak of their sister. "We have a sister," Uncle began "she is younger than Garmadon but older than me. When our father passed, she left to train in her own ways. She, along with the girl's grandmother, practices alchemy. They train together in a secret location only I, Garmadon, and the girls know of." "So, your sister is a witch?" Jay asked. Nya smacked him in the back of the head. "Not a witch jabber mouth," Crystal said "she's an alchemist; she possesses powers of unknown origin and uses them in nature." "Now, Crystal," I said "what was your dream about?" She sagged her head and sighed. "It was awful," she said.
(Crystal's POV)
I was in the water, just floating there. I saw my sisters floating above me in the air. The sky was black. The blackness consumed my sisters. I tried to yell but nothing came out. My sisters were gone. I rose from the water and saw my reflection; I was covered in cuts and blood. A giant wound in my side caused me to scream and something did come out. I saw Lloyd; he was glowing green and was underwater. I grabbed his arms but something pulled him in deeper. I lost my grip and he sunk. I lost my breathe, he was gone. I started to cry when I saw a white light. I looked in it to see a boy; he had dark brown hair with brown eyes and wore a metallic ninja suit. His face looked so much like dad's did before he was consumed. I knew that's our youngest brother. My mom's mom and aunt stood behind him. Dad and Uncle walked up behind them. I saw my sisters and Lloyd still alive and walk in. I smiled, but a pain in my waist threw me off. I looked down and saw the bloody gash in my left side. I looked back to my family, but something was behind them. It's a giant snake. The Great Devourer! It's going to eat them. It all went so fast. The jaw snapped shut, they were all gone. The darkness faded and I was in the woods. I heard the cry of a baby. I walked past trees to find a baby boy and girl, twins, in a basket in the woods. I saw the sky grow to thunder as the babies cried. A tree branch broke, and I covered the babies with my bleeding body as the branch crushed me. I felt the pressure on my body and I faded to black. I heard my scream and woke up.
"That's when Mag woke me up," I finished the story. "It's very strange indeed," Uncle said. "We can't let the Devourer be awakened," I said.
