I was running down a dark hallway. It seemed to go on forever and I was getting tired. Something was chasing me; it seemed to want to kill me. I had no idea how I got there. I looked down at my shredded school uniform. I was in big trouble, I could feel it. The growling got closer and I could feel the monster's rapid breathing on my back. This can't be real! I screamed in my head.

I made the mistake of looking back. The deep claret red eyes bore into my skull. I fell down and landed on something wet and warm. The monster was approaching fast and I crawled backwards, not taking the chance to look away from the red eyes. I bumped into something and felt it was a freezing cold wall, but there was also something else. Taking a quick glance, I couldn't believe what I saw. Jay was lying lifeless next to the wall. His dead eyes looked at me with fear. His gi covered with his blood.

"No!" I screamed and flung myself around my deceased brother. "This can't be real!" I sobbed and buried my face into the blood covered clothes. The monster appeared in front of me, deadly yellow teeth showing. I still clung to Jay; there was nothing to fight for now. He is dead. And now I will die. The jaws of the monster opened, the foul breath poising the air. I took a deep breath.

Then it was over.

"Wha-" I gasped and jumped into a sitting position. I looked around, breathing heavily. "It was just a dream," I told myself relieved and steadied my breathing. Where am I? I asked myself, before remembering the previous night's events. I let my head collide with the soft cushion again. It was just a dream, I repeated to myself like a mantra. I took one deep breath, before deciding to get up.

After some effort, I finally got up and inspected the room. The bed was in the corner of the room. There were two doors, the one leading to the bathroom and the other a hall. A built-in closet was opposite wall of the bed. There was a desk next to the door, which led to a hallway, with two shelves built above it. The room was completely empty, no signs of previous inhabitants.

I went to the bathroom and stopped by the sink. I looked into the mirror. My skin was pale, even more than usual, and my eyes bloodshot. My hair was a mess and my clothes wrinkled. I was an eyesore.

"Maybe I should take a shower…" I told the person in the mirror. I was lucky there were the needed necessities like soap and water. I took a long hot shower. When I was finished I pulled my clothes on again and I looked better than before. Not perfect but presentable. In the room, the sun shone brightly through the window. I picked up my Bo staff, not wanting to be unarmed for some reason.

I slowly opened the door that led to the hall. It was very quiet. I stepped into the open and closed the door. The sun illuminated the hallway. I walked around the corner counting the doors and turns I took. I heard a faint talking coming from somewhere. I followed the sound and stopped before a huge sliding door. The talking was clearer now.

"I wonder why Elise has been fighting Anacondrai." A deep voice said.

"Or why she didn't tell anyone." Another voice said.

"And why she ran away when we fought the snakes." This voice belonged to Jay.

"Better question is why you have never mentioned Elise until last night?" a female voice asked.

"Nobody ever asked it's not like I go around to everyone I meet and say, 'hi I'm Jay and I have a sister that I never see, want me to tell you more about her?'" Jay said in a mocking tone. "Really, I'm sorry I never told you, Nya."

"Yeah, okay…"

"It's weird to see somebody faster than Lloyd, isn't it?" A mono tone voice asked.

"Definitely, first Jay was the fastest, then Lloyd became older and he was crowned the fastest. Now they both have been dethroned by a girl," the second voice said.

"Hey, I have not been dethroned. I'm the best and no one will beat me, especially a girl! I was just tired last night!" I'm sure Lloyd said.

"Sure," the other voice said sarcastically.

Okay, now or never, I thought. I slowly opened the door. There were six faces, sitting around a table, staring at me. "Uh…morning?" I hesitantly said. Jay, which was sitting on the far point of the table next to Nya, got up and walked over to me. I braced to be lectured at, but it never came. Instead I was embraced by my brother. I hugged back. He pulled away and looked at me with concerned and disappointed eyes.

His face twisted into frown as he looked at my clothes. "Let's go get you stuff, okay? You look like one of your inventions," he said with a smile tugging at his lips.

"Okay, but I thought we made a deal to never talk about that again?" I asked, relieved he calmed down a bit after last night. "And you can't go in that," I said and pointed to his gi. Suddenly my dream sneaked its way in my head again and I remembered the way Jay looked covered in blood. I grimaced and tried to forget about the nightmare. I looked back at Jay who was looking confused at his clothes. I laughed and they all looked at me quizzically. It's clear they have never met fan girls like Paige before.

*shudders* Tell me if I did okay with the dream. I felt like I succeeded, but I want some feedback. You can get a waffle! (#) Yeah, there wasn't really a big story in this chapter, but I promise we wil get somewhere with the next one. (I hope) Oh yeah, the dream she had was just a nightmare. No secret messages or things that will happen.

Byeeee! :D
