Chapter One: Dreams

A/N: hello people! So I hope you all enjoyed the prophecy I put up in the last chapter. It will play a very important part in the story...but I can't say too much. Please enjoy!

"We've all got both light and dark inside if us. What matters is the part we chose to act on, that's who we really are." -Sirius Black

The screams of his friends filled Jayden's ears. The red ranger looked around. He reached for his samuraizer, but he couldn't find it. "Jayden!" Lauren shouted. "Jayden help!"

"Lauren!" he shouted, struggling through the thick forest that surrounded him. "Lauren I'm coming!"

"Jayden!" his blood froze at the sound of her voice. "Brother, help me!"

"I'm coming!" he shouted. He broke through the trees, ruthlessly pushing branches aside. A couple snapped back in his face, scratching him, but he ignored it. "Lauren!" he shouted.

As he ran he found the world around him getting darker and darker. He felt an ominous feeling creeping up his spine. Something's not right. He reached the spot where her screams were coming from and found...nothing. He was standing in a small clearing. "Lauren!" he shouted looking around. The world had now become completely dark and black. "Lauren!"

"Jayden!" she answered, her voice still sounding far away. "I can't see you. It's too dark!"

"Where's the light?!" Mike shouted from an unknown spot.

"Mike where are you?!"

"I don't know! I can't see anything!"

"What's going on?!" Kevin shouted.

"Kevin do you know where you are?!" Jayden shouted.

"No! It's too dark!"

"Guys!" Mia shouted.

"Why is it so dark?!" Emily asked.

"I don't know!" Jayden shouted. He felt slightly relieved. Everyone was accounted for except for... "Antonio!" he shouted realizing the gold ranger's absence. "Antonio where are you?!" There was no answer. "Guys do you know where Antonio is?!" They didn't reply. "Guys?!"

He walked slowly, trying to keep from stumbling in the darkness. He tripped over something and fell face first on the ground. He looked back and felt his heart stop. It was Antonio. The gold ranger was lying in the ground, eyes devoid of life. His neck bent at an odd angle to show it was broken. "Antonio," Jayden whispered.

He crawled back and lifted Antonio's head. His eyes had no light in them. Only cold darkness. He felt his breath coming in short gasps. "No, no, no, no, no!" He sobbed. "How did this happen?!" He heard evil laughter form behind him. He turned around, still hugging Antonio's corpse to his body. A voice was getting closer, but Jayden couldn't see who it was. He looked down at Antonio...

Jayden's eyes popped open. A second later he shot up in bed. No screaming, just his breath coming in short gasps. He looked at his alarm. 1:35. Everyone is sleeping. He took a calming breath. He could still feel Antonio's body in his hands. Antonio... He got up and crept over to his door. He opened it silently an peered out. There was no one in the hall. O f course not. All the sane people are asleep. He tiptoed across the hall to Antonio's room.

He opened the door silently. The pale light of the hall shone into Antonio's room. The gold ranger was fast asleep, his head near the footboard for some strange reason. It was hard to see him though, because Jayden's shadow practically hid him from view. He listened for a few moments to the sound of Antonio's quiet breathing. The gold ranger moaned and blinked.

"Jayden?" he asked groggily. "Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, everything's fine," Jayden lied. "Go back to sleep." He turned away and shut the door behind him. Antonio fell back onto his pillow and fell asleep. Jayden went back to his room and laid down in bed. It felt so real. He gulped. The darkness had been so deep it and felt like it was suffocating. "Relax," he whispered. "It was just a dream. That's all. It was just a dream." He closed his eyes and tried to fall back asleep. As he did this Lauren walked silently down the hall.

She stopped for a moment, thinking she heard someone moving around, but it was nothing. She carefully opened Antonio's door, breathing a sigh of relief when she saw that he was sleeping soundly. Or not soundly. He opened his eyes and looked up at her.

"Is something wrong?" he asked her.

She shook her head. "No. Just worried about you."

He smiled. "Well, I'm right here."

She smiled. "Ok. Good night."

He nodded. "Good night," he said sleepily. He laid down and was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Lauren orft his room and returned to her own.

I'm being silly, she thought as she did. It was just a stupid dream. It was just a dream.

Please review! Pretty please!
