Hello guys sorry for the delay. Work and such as always. I promise I will try to make this chapter longer than the last one. At least I hope it will be.

I do not own Digimon.

Chapter 21: Perhaps not just a Dream

Yolei woke up the next morning and she was awake before Ken was. As she watched him sleep she smiled. She brushed some hair out of his face and he let out a small snore. She tried not to laugh to loudly to wake him. She rolled over and noticed Minomon and Poromon sleeping by their feet.

'Pururumon must have digivolved to his in-training form in his sleep,' She thought.

She moved her feet slowly so she wouldn't wake them either. She tiptoed out of the room and tried to open the door. She got out into the hallway with success. As she started to walk down the hall she wondered if she was the only one up. Her answer was shortly answered.

"Ken honey is that you?"

"No Mrs. Ichijouji it's only me."

"Oh Yolei. Come sit at the table with me. Would you like some tea?"

"Yes please."

"How are you feeling dear?"

"I am okay, thank you."

"Any cream or sugar?"

"No thank you."

"Did you sleep better after you fell back to sleep?"

"Yes I did."

"Would you like to talk about it?"

"I actually don't really remember it now. I just remember darkness."

"At least your mind is blocking it out. If you ever need to talk I am here for you."

"Thank you Mrs. Ichijouji. I really appreciate it. I just hope I am not a bother being here so much."

"Not at all dear. We love having you here. We haven't seen Ken this happy is so long. You definitely bring something out in him."

Yolei smiled at her. Mrs. Ichijouji returned the smile. They sipped their teas in silence. As Yolei looked around she didn't see Mr. Ichijouji anywhere.

"He went to his office."

"On a Sunday?"

"He works for the paper. He was working on a story."

"Oh our friend T.K's mom works for the paper too."

"Oh really? What a small world. He tries not to bring his work home but sometimes he need to do some things in his office here at home."

"I guess it happens sometimes. I know sometimes my father or mother have to enter the inventory at home."

"What do your parents do?"

"They own the convenience store under our apartment building. My siblings and I work there sometimes to help out."

"Oh that is very nice of you and your siblings to help out. Hey why don't we bring our teas in the living room. I would like to share something with you."

"With me?"

"Oh yes. Who else would I share this with?"

As they set their cups of teas on the coffee table Yolei sat down at one end of the couch. She watched as Mrs. Ichijouji went over to a small cabinet and opened it. She brought out a huge picture album. Mrs. Ichijouji wiped the dust off with her hand and sat in the middle of the couch next to Yolei. She opened the album and the first picture was a wedding picture.

"Is that you and Mr. Ichijouji?"

"Yes. My sister planned the wedding. I guess you can say this was the moment she wanted to be a wedding planner with her own business."

"Wow. That is a beautiful dress."

"We went for a modern wedding. Against my parents wishes. They wanted a traditional wedding. But I have worn Kimono's before and I knew what I looked like in one. I wanted to know what it was like to wear a beautiful white dress on my wedding day."

Yolei looked at the picture again. It was a long dress that was a ballgown fit but the bottom wasn't that poofy. It also had capped sleeves on her shoulders and the veil had small beading on the edges. Yolei could only hope she could be happy like this on her day as she looked at the smiles they both had in the picture. Mrs. Ichijouji then turned to the next page.

It was a picture that was obviously taken in the hospital. She could see them looking down at a baby wrapped in a blue blanket. Yolei looked to the bottom of the picture and saw 'Sam' written on the bottom.

"He was a week early but he was perfect. No problems at all. We were able to bring him home 3 days later."

"You were only in the hospital for three days?"

"Yes. As long as he had no problems drinking milk from both the bottle and myself we could leave. It was the same way with Ken."

She turned the page again and it was another baby in a blue blanket. Yolei knew it had to be Ken. His eyes were open and looking right at his mother where in Sam's picture his eyes were closed.

"Ken and I definitely bonded a little here. I knew he was going to be special."

Yolei looked at the picture and Ken's bright blue eyes. She smiled at the picture. Mrs. Ichijouji then turned the page and it was a picture of Sam who must have been 4 and Ken around 1. Sam was sitting on the couch and Ken was sitting up against him. Time past as they were going through the album they never heard the bedroom door open.

Ken walked down the hall and heard two women laughing. He walked into the living room and he saw Yolei and his mother sitting on the couch. Then he heard his mother say that 'Sam and Ken' and he blocked out the rest. He knew she brought out the photo album. Something she hasn't done in a long time. Ken walked up to the back of the couch and saw a picture of himself sitting on the ground with a soccer ball and he was covered in dirt.

"Come on mom Yolei doesn't need to see these."

"Oh Ken you're awake."

"What time is it?"

"It is about 10:30. I must have been really tired if I am just getting up now."

"I should probably be getting home. Thanks for sitting with me this morning Mrs. Ichijouji."

"Oh of course dear. I hope you are feeling better."

"Yes very much so. And thank you also for the tea. It was delicious."

"You're welcome. Maybe I will pass my recipes to you since I don't have a daughter to pass them too."

"Oh you don't..."

"Now, now it isn't something to worry about at this time. Ken just make sure she gets home safe."

"I will mom."

Ken and Yolei walked back to his room. He offered to get changed in the bathroom. As Yolei was changing the cell phone her mother gave her was blinking. She picked it up and saw she had a text from Yumiko.

"Hey Yolei,

I am sorry again about last night. How about just the two of us get together? How about after school tomorrow? I know this cute cafe here in Tamachi. Hiro and Ken will have soccer practice after class. It is the second to last practice before the championship game on Saturday. Maybe we can go to that together? Unless you have to work at your families store. Let me know okay!

Yumiko"

'I will reply to her later. I should call home to let them know I am on my way.'

As Yolei called her parents Ken walked back into the room. He walked over where he saw Minomon looking out the window to the adjacent buliding. Ken stood next to the small digimon trying to figure out what he could have been looking at and if he could see it too.

"What are you looking at pal?"

"Can I tell you when Yolei isn't around?"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to freak her out more than she already is. I think it has something to do with the dream she had last night."

"Then don't you think she has a right to know?"

"The right to know what?"

They both turned and saw Yolei standing there looking at both of them. She has just hung up with her parents and put Poromon in her bag. Ken looked down to Minomon. Minomon knew that look. It was look that he now knew he had to say something. Then he thought of a way to wait.

"How about I say what I need to say with everyone. I think everyone needs to know."

"Is that alright with you Yolei?"

"Yeah definitely. We can schedule a meeting when we get to my apartment."

"Sounds great. I say we get going."

Yolei and Ken walked out of his room after Ken put Minomon in his backpack. They said their goodbyes to Mrs. Ichijouji and Ken said that he would be back later. Mrs. Ichijouji walked them to the door and gave a hug to Yolei before she left. The walk to the bus stop was quiet but Ken had a feeling they were being followed. Every time he turned around though no one was there. As they were waiting to the bus Ken couldn't shake the feeling. He took hold of Yolei's hand as the bus pulled up. Before Yolei could say anything he rushed into the bus to the back. He wanted to see if anyone suspicious would follow them in.

"Ken what is going on?"

"I had a feeling we were being followed."

"Followed? Who would want to follow us?"

"I don't know but I didn't like the feeling I got."

When the doors to the bus closed only a few people walked on. They were people Ken recognized them from around Tamachi, but no one that would purposely be following them. Or give him an uneasy feeling. The bus ride seemed longer than it usually does. Ken still couldn't shake the feeling. When the bus did finally pull into the Odiaba station Ken waited to be the last ones off the bus. A few people stayed on when the bus left and the ones that got off were already on their way. They started walking towards Yolei's building which thankfully wasn't that far. When they got to Yolei's apartment building they were stopped before going inside.

"Yolei! Ken!"

"Kari? Davis? What are you guys doing here?"

"Oh thank goodness you are okay."

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

Kari then hugged her. "I had a horrible dream about you."

"Yeah Kari called me this morning. She asked me to come with her to see you. Looks like perfect timing too. Sup Ken."

"Hey Davis. We were actually going to call a meeting with all the Digidestined. Yolei actually had a nightmare as well last night. Minomon wants to tell us all something."

"Okay you guys head up to Yolei's and I can get T.K and Davis can get Cody. We will start there and call the others."

"Great idea. We will see you all in a few minutes."

Kari and Davis took the stairs while Ken and Yolei took the elevator. When they got to Yolei's floor the went inside.

"Mom, dad? I'm home."

"Good morning Yolei. Hello Ken."

"Hello Mrs. Inoue."

"Where is dad?"

"He is down in the store with your brother. I sent your sisters out for a while. Didn't want them pestering you and Ken."

"Thanks mom I appreciate it. I am sure Ken does too."

"Oh it didn't matter to me."

"Well why don't you head to your room. I am making cookies and they should be ready soon."

"Great. I actually have some other friends showing up soon. I am sure Davis will love the fact that there will be food."

"Well I hope I made enough."

"I am sure you did mom."

Yolei and Ken walked to her room. When they got there they opened their backpacks and let their Digimon partners out. Poromon started flying around the room happy to be out of her bag. Minomon was happy to find a comfy spot on the bed. Yolei was trying to get Poromon to calm down before her mother heard him flying around.

"Poromon get down here right now."

"Sorry Yolei. I am just happy to be home and out of that bag!"

"I understand that but if mom hears you then what do I tell her?"

"Okay."

Poromon landed in his little bed that Yolei had made him. Minomon left his spot and went to join Poromon. Yolei put her bag on her bed and started taking out her clothes and put them in the hamper. When Yolei pulled out Ken's jersey she turned to him.

"I will give this back to you after I wash it."

"I've heard that before. And besides I don't need it back. I have a couple more and with the championship game coming up on Saturday I will get a new jersey next year."

"Why would you be getting a new jersey next year? You still have one more year at your school?"

"I was going to surprise you but.."

"Yolei, your friends are here."

"Thanks mom."

"I'll tell you later okay."

"Okay."

Ken then walked the short distance to her and leaned down and kissed Yolei. She was about to return the kiss when her bedroom door opened.

"Awe come on guys get a room."

"We are in a room Davis, if you haven't noticed."

"Well, what I mean, damn it shut up Yolei. You know what I meant."

"What took you guys so long?"

"After Kari told me about the dream she had I got a hold of Matt before coming up. He has band practice this afternoon but we can all meet there for the meeting afterwards."

"Sora was there with Matt. She said she was going to get a hold of Mimi and the others. Sora said she would text me when everything would be all set."

"Perfect. Now we need to think of a way to stop BlackWarGreymon."

"I thought Agumon was going to track him down and try to talk to him and get through to him?"

"He is trying to find him Cody. But every time he gets close all he finds is the destruction he left behind. Tai said that Agumon found some Digimon that were hiding that heard BlackWarGreymon say he is looking for a strong and worthy opponent."

"Why would he want to do that? Wouldn't Agumon as Wargreymon himself be good enough Kari?"

"I would think so Cody, but Agumon doesn't want to fight him. He just wants him to see that fighting every Digimon he comes across is wrong."

"I can understand that."

"Yolei, the cookies are ready. Would you like me to bring you some for you and your friends?"

"Sure mom."

"Dude your mom made cookies?! I hope she made enough for you guys!"

"If Davish eats that whole plate of cookies without me I will be so sad."

"Don't worry DemiVeemon I am sure he will share with you. The rest of us will have to fight just to get one."

"Well I will share with you Gatomon."

"That is sweet of you. But with my cat like reflexes I will be able to get one with no problems."

While the six teens were waiting to hear from the older Digidestined Agumon in the Digital World felt like he was getting close to BlackWarGreymon. He was walking through a desert. He was sad to see a bunch of different Digimon fallen to the hands of BlackWarGreymon. Agumon then walked up over a dune and saw him. He was standing in front of a heard of Mammothmon. He walked up to see if he could hear what was being said. The closer he got he saw Arukenimon and Mummymon standing on top of a plateau.

"There you are BlackWarGreymon. What a bad boy running away from home."

"You're in a lot of trouble. Now be a good Digimon and come with us. Do you know how many Control Spires it too Arukenimon to create these Mammothmon?"

"How many was it?"

"200."

"I wonder how powerful they are. Let's find out."

Agumon watched as BlackWarGreymon easily destroyed each Mammothmon. Arukenimon and Mummymon were not happy watching more of their Control Spire Digimon were easily defeated. When their were just a few Mammothmon left BlackWarGreymon stopped.

"Why do I feel so empty?"

"Empty? How can you feel anything? You are my creation. You can't be feeling anything."

"You lie."

"I do not. You were created by Control Spires. Now stop this feeling business and be a good Digimon and take orders from me!"

"I will not take orders from those who are inferior to me."

"How dare you! Arukenimon is your master! You will show her respect!"

"Drop it Mummymon."

"But Arukenimon."

"No I will not use my strength on him. Let's go."

Agumon saw Arukenimon and Mummymon leave BlackWarGreymon continued his assult on the Mammothmon. He knew Tentomon was watching Arukenimon and Mummymon so he could keep his eye on BlackWarGreymon.

Tentomon could hear what Mummymon and Arukenimon were talking about without being so close that they could see him. He hoped that they weren't off to make more Spire Digimon. He could feel a change in the Digital World.

"Damn. Another failed plan."

"Forget it Arukenimon. Let us focus on what is really important."

"Oh and what is that?"

"The Destiny Stones."

"Oh those silly things you keep searching for."

"Yes I know where one is close by. Maybe we should go take a look."

"I wonder if the Destiny Stone rumors are true."

"The only way to find out is to destroy one."

"If we have nothing better to do."

"I also know a little place for a lovely picnic for two."

"Really? And who are you taking?"

"What is a Destiny Stone?" Tentomon stopped following them.

He had never heard of Destiny Stones before. He knew it was something the others should know. If they were to destroy one he knew the Digidestined would have to stop them.

Agumon saw that there was one Mammothmon left. It was charging at him but he wasn't moving. As the Mammothmon got closer he watched as BlackWarGreymon then dived down. Agumon couldn't see why BlackWarGreymon dived to the ground so quickly but when he did finally look down Agumon saw that he was protecting a small flower. The Mammothmon was stomping on BlackWarGreymon's back until the Mammothmon was suddenly upturned.

"Terra Destroyer!" The final Mammothmon was destroyed. "The flower?" BlackWarGreymon looked down. "It's safe. But why did I care so much? Why does it matter if there is one more flower in the world? Hm."

Agumon watched as BlackWarGreymon was talking to himself about the flower. He felt that maybe he had a chance to get through to him. Maybe he could get him to stop fighting. Even if he was just destroying the Control Spire Digimon that Arukenimon were sending his way but real Digimon were getting hurt in the process.

"You and I are different. I mean besides you being a little flower and me being the most powerful Digimon of two worlds. I mean you are a living thing, and as for myself, I am artifical. You have real feelings and I can only imagine that I do. Like I imagine this pain in my heart. Why should I care about if a little flower lives or dies? All I want to know is where is this empty feeling I have coming from? If I am not a true living creature why does my heart ache? And I don't even have a heart that exists."

Agumon watched as BlackWarGreymon stand and then step on the flower. He didn't understand why he would go and protect it from Mammothmon just to crush it himself. But with him being so conflicted maybe he still had a chance to get through to him.

Tentomon was happy he found a TV near by where Arukenimon and Mummymon were. He was able to get a message out to the Digidestined to get here. He got a reply from Kari saying they were all together at Yolei's and they would be there soon to help.

"Is that the Destiny Stone Mummymon?"

"It sure is my sweet."

"Well if we destroy it something interesting might happen. We are lucky there are Control Spires right here for me to use. Spirit Needle!"

"Oh a Knightmon. Great idea!"

"Knightmon I order you to destroy the Destiny Stone."

"Oh I hope the Digidestined get here soon..."

Agumon climbed up onto a small hill where he could see BlackWarGreymon coming his way. "Hey there you look familiar. Are you lost?"

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yes I am. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Agumon and protecting this area is my game."

"Are you a Control Spire Digimon too?"

"Nah, I came from a Digiegg. And when I Warp Digivolve I become WarGreymon."

"Then we have nothing to talk about."

"But maybe I can help."

"Maybe I will talk to you. Maybe you can answer all of my questions."

"I didn't know there would be a test involved."

As Agumon got ready to answer all of BlackWarGreymon's questions the Digidestined arrived to see that Knightmon was walking towards a stone. He raised up his sword and started to slice at it.

"What is he doing? Kendo?"

"Or maybe he is just sharpening his sword."

"Yeah that has to be it Kari."

"No it isn't."

"What do you mean Nefertimon?"

"I feel a great power coming from that stone. It might be the Destiny Stone I have heard from legends."

"Destiny Stones? Is that anything like a Kidney Stone?"

"No Davis but it could be just as painful for the Digital World. If one is destroyed something terrible will happen here."

"Oh no we need to stop him."

"Right let's do this. We'll head down there and stop him!"

As the Digidestined started to attack Knightmon to stop him from destroying the stone Agumon was trying to answer all of BlackWarGreymon's questions. They were tough questions. He just wish he knew all the answers. When BlackWarGreymon asked where his heart was he really had to think.

"Hmm. I think it is right here," as he point to his chest. Then he put his hands to his head "Or maybe here? I'm sorry I'm not more help to you. No one has ever asked me where my heart is before."

"You say you are a living creature yet you don't know where your heart is. Maybe it doesn't exist. Maybe it is just an illusion."

"No it isn't. When you care about someone more than you care about yourself it's called love. And you couldn't feel that if the heart doesn't exist. I just don't know where it is."

"Well then let me ask you this. Why do you have a heart?"

"I am not sure why. All I know is that I do. Humans and Digimon have them."

"But I am not a Digimon like you. I am made from Control Spires. Does that mean I have a heart too? Or was I created without one?"

"These are all really good questions. I would love to answer them for you but I am not very good at these kind of things. Could you repeat the question?"

"I am not sure I remember the question now myself."

"Great now we're both confused. Let's forget the whole thing and get something to eat together."

"I'm sorry I can't. I need my questions answered."

Back with the Digidestined the were trying to protect the Destiny Stone. As ExVeemon held off Kightmon's sword he pulled out another one with his free hand. Pegasusmon then attacked before the other sword could get ExVeemon.

"Nice shot Pegasusmon."

"Look out here come Arukenimon and Mummymon."

"Snake Bandage!"

"Spider Thread!"

"This is your first and last warning. Don't interfere."

Knightmon then continued his assault on the Destiny Stone while Mummymon and Arukenimon held the Digidestined off. BlackWarGreymon was asking Agumon more questions. Agumon really wished he could help this Digimon. Maybe being a Control Spire Digimon did keep him from having a heart. But if that was the case he wouldn't be having these feelings he was having.

"But you see, I am not alive. I am just, a thing. Why would I have any use for a heart?"

"You make a good point. I know! You can be a friend."

"A friend?"

"Yeah! If you care about me then that means you have a heart to be my friend. You can't have one without the other. I mean I've got lots of friends."

"What if I can't be a friend? That would prove if I have a heart or not."

"I think your capable. Everyone can be someone's friend."

"But what if..."

"What if? What is with you and the 'What ifs'? What if my aunt had a mustache? She'd be my uncle."

"Really? Your logic confuses me. How is friendship supposed to feel? Or does it just happen? At any rate it certainly hasn't made me feel any better."

"Well that is because we just met. You have to give it time."

"I've given you time to answer all my questions, and you haven't answered one yet. Perhaps I should just destroy you and be on my way. That seems to be my purpose in life and if it is then so be it. I will become the most powerful. But I have to know if fighting is my true destiny or is there is something more for me. I have to know if there is a reason as to why I am here."

"Wow are you a serious guy."

While Agumon was still talking to BlackWarGreymon, Mummymon and Arukenimon were doing their best to keep the Digidestined away from Knightmon and the Destiny Stone.

"Ah I've had enough of this. I say we DNA Digivolve."

"Good idea Davis."

"ExVeemon..."

"Stingmon..."

"DNA Digivolve to...PAILDRAMON!"

"Aquilamon," Gatomon yelled as she de-Digivolved from Nefertimon. "Are you ready?"

"You bet I am."

"Aquilamon..."

"Gatomon..."

"DNA Digivolve to...SILPHYMON!"

"Desperado Blaster!"

The attack knocked Knightmon down. Ankylomon the started attacking Knightmon trying to keep him on the ground. Cody was yelling trying to keep Ankylomon focused on keeping him down. Cody was really hoping that this would finally stop Knightmon from destroying the Destiny Stone.

Agumon was getting tired and was really hoping that he was getting to through to BlackWarGreymon but that seemed like a difficult task. One minute he was but then the next it was like nothing seemed to be going right at all.

"No way. You can't throw your heart away. It doesn't work like that."

"But if what you say is true and that I have a heart it is clearly interfering with my fighting. I can't reach my full fighting potential until I throw my heart away."

"Fighting is important but it isn't everything. You need to trust me as your friend before you can find your heart and before you get the idea to just throw it away."

"Alright I will be your friend. Only to prove if my heart exist. But if it doesn't I will be forced to destroy you."

"Thanks for the warning, I think. By the way, it's customary to shake a new friends hand."

"Shake hands?"

BlackWarGreymon was reaching out to shake Agumon's hand. But back with the Digidestined Knightmon had just cut off the ring around the Destiny Stone. BlackWarGreymon couldn't explain where the pain he felt was coming from. All he knew was that he wanted it to stop.

"Are you okay?"

"The pain...it's getting worse. Something is hurting me."

BlackWarGreymon then let out a scream and took off. Agumon was trying to get him to come back but it was no use. Little did Agumon know is that he was taking off towards the Digidestined and the Destiny Stone.

"What happened?"

"Something is happening to the Destiny Stone."

The Digidestined just watched as Mummymon and Knightmone were now both attacking the stone. Arukenimon wanted Mummymon to stop his attacks because they just weren't enough. The Digidestined didn't know what to do. The ring on the stone was slowing coming apart. Yolei on the other hand could see the red glow around the stone. She knew it couldn't have been good. Just then everyone stopped when they heard a rumbling sound.

"Is it a storm?"

"No Davis, It's BlackWarGreymon!"

"Mummymon we have to get out of here."

"They sure seem to be in a hurry to get away from BlackWarGreymon."

"I wonder why. They were the ones who created him."

"It could be because he doesn't follow their orders T.K."

"That is a good idea Cody."

Knightmon stopped his attack on the Stone to turn around to fight BlackWarGreymon. "Mega Destroyer!" The one attack destroyed Knightmon in his place. As he stood and looked at the Destiny Stone he did the one thing her knew how to do. Destroy it.

"Terra Destroyer!" A giant crack was then created on the Stone.

"Oh no. He's gonna destroy the Destiny Stone."

"We have to stop him."

As the Digimon all flew towards BlackWarGreymon Yolei couldn't help but feel the pain from the crack in the stone. She was trying her best to hide it from the others. She didn't know what would happen if they entire Stone was destroyed but she really didn't want to find out. BlackWarGreymon then turned to the Digimon and attacked. His attack reverted the Digimon back to their in-training forms.

"Ah Poromon!"

"Yolei don't." She didn't listen.

"Please don't do it BlackWarGreymon!"

He turned away from her pleas. He attacked again and a bigger crack formed. Yolei dropped to get her Digimon but also from the pain. Her Digivice then fell out of her pocket. Kari who had run up with her to get Salamon saw Yolei's Digivice. The screen was blinking a dark red light.

'What does it mean? Is Yolei okay?"

"Please BlackWarGreymon. Please don't destroy the stone!"

Yolei's screams didn't reach his ears. With his final attack the Destiny Stone was gone. Where the Stone once was there was now a giant tornado. Off in the distance Arukenimon and Mummymon were watching from their Jeep.

"So the legends are true. Destroy a Destiny Stone, destroy a part of the Digital World."

"And to think Mummymon. I didn't have to order BlackWarGreymon to do it. He helped us all on his own. Maybe he is still useful to us."

"Could destroying the Destiny Stone be my destiny? Is this what I am created to do? If it is I must find more of them." He then took off to try and find if there were any other Destiny Stones.

"Yolei come on. We need to get out of here before we get sucked in." Kari couldn't get Yolei to move. She was in some kind of trance. Yolei was just staring at the tornado. She tried to stop him. Why couldn't she stop him. If she was the next protector of the Digital World she was off to a horrible start. And where is Gennai? All these questions going through her mind and not one answer for any of them.

"Don't you see Miyako."

"Huh?" Kari then realized she was out of her trance.

"Yolei come on we need to get out of here." Kari then dragged Yolei away from the tornado without her saying anything.

"Miyako."

"How are you in my head? You are the same voice from my dream. I am awake now so I shouldn't be hearing you."

"Entering your dreams let me have a connection with you Miyako. If you had just agreed to help me in the first place and rule the Digital World by my side this wouldn't have happened. This is your fault."

"No your wrong!"

"Am I? Think about it."

"NOOOOOOO!"

Little did Yolei know that her scream was not just in her head. She stopped running and went to her knees. Kari and Cody then turned around to went up to her. Cody knelt down beside her and saw the tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Yolei? Yolei what's wrong? Please talk to me."

"Perhaps it wasn't just a dream after all." Was all she could say to Cody.

Phew there is the next chapter. Again sorry for such a long delay. My mother just passed away two months ago and I lost all interest in everything. It was hard just to get this chapter done after I was doing so well after my aunt passed. My aunt and my mother were sisters so it has been a really rough year. So please bare with me. I will try to not wait so long before posting the next chapter. :( I really hope someone will still be reading this story.
