I had fun writing this chapter and I hope y'all enjoy it. Things might get a little weird but understand that they are in a dream world.
Italics=singing, Underline=other voice
Ann P.O.V.
As I wake up…. No that doesn't seem right, it feels like I am waking up but at the same time it feels like I am still asleep. Maybe it is the cold. It is so cold I can see my breath. I guess we feel asleep watching the movies. What something is not right. Why am I in a library and why is it so cold? It doesn't even get this cold in the dead of winter. Where are Sally, Adam, and Watch? I could have sworn that we were all watching movies just a few minutes ago. No we were watching movies only a few minutes ago!
As I wonder around the library I walk through a doorway and I find myself in…blackness. I have no other way to describe it. I am walking in a swirl world of only darkness with no way to tell up from down.
"What the Hell!?"
Sally P.O.V.
What is going on? Last I remember we were all on the couch in the backyard watching movies! Now I am on a stage the auditorium is filled with faceless people. All of them looking at me. What is going on? I look to my left and to my right; on my left there is a door. It looks like I am exiting stage left.
As I exit through the door I find myself in darkness. It is like I am in space with no sense of direction and no stars light the up the emptiness of the darkness. In the distance I hear something is sounds like a voice. As I listen closer it sounds like Ann's voice.
"What the Hell!?"
"Ann?"
Watch P.O.V.
As I find myself awakening in a dream. I take notice of my surroundings. Prison…empty cells…old…English in design…13 cells…52 bars on all the cells…12 doors open…3 doors have been replaced…it is too much…too much information…can't see inside the cells…nothing but darkness…too much…can't process…I quickly step into one of the empty cells.
In the darkness there is less information to gather…my thoughts clear slightly…this darkness isn't just darkness…it is swirling…deduction…a space of shared consciousness…most likely of me and my friends…I can see Ann and Sally in the distance.
"What the Hell!?"
"Ann?"
"Sally is that you?" Ann starts running toward Sally…So does Sally…They are running, but not gaining any ground…dream state…dream rules…running will get you nowhere…travel by means of thought.
"Watch? When did you get here? You are not running? How are you keeping up with me?"
"Sally this is a dream…rules…by thought." Sally seems to not be able to understand…words are jumbled…like my thoughts…must speak in full sentences.
"Running will get you nowhere."
"Why?"
"We are in a dream."
"So the normal rules don't apply?"
"Exactly."
"Then how do we get to Ann?" Now we are standing next to Ann…The shared looked on their faces…of relief…understanding…joy…Will have to look into to that…something in the distance.
"Sally, Watch what is going on?"
"Watch says we are in a dream."
"Yeah I got that much. Is Watch OK he is really quite?"
"Something is wrong with him. He is speaking weird."
"Something…in the distance." It looks like…Adam?
Adam P.O.V.
I wake up in a room. Did my dad take me up to my room after I fell asleep? What this isn't my room! This is a girl's room. But it is not Sally's or Ann's I think. I try the door but it is locked. The window is locked too. There sounds like there is something under the bed. I look under and in the darkness there are a pair of black eyes. Also as dark as the darkness but they stand out somehow. Like there is more in the surrounding darkness than the blackness of the eyes. Then the darkness lasses out at me…things are becoming foggy.
I am in the darkness and the blackness surrounds me…nothing…I can't think…my thoughts are clouded…I see people in the distance…was that a voice…KILL THEM…no don't want to…KILL THEM…YOU WANT TO KILL THEM.
"Adam!" Sally? Can't hear her. Sounds like a whisper in the distance.
"Adam it is us!" Is that Ann? They sound so far away. I can see them though I am getting closer to them the voice getting louder…KILL THEM!
"Sally…Ann…don't think…Adam."
"What did you say Watch? Did you say you don't think that is Adam?"
"Yes Sally."
Ann P.O.V.
I don't understand what Watch is saying. How is that not Adam? But he looks hurt. He is walking with a limp. As he gets closer I can see something is off. Oh My God his eyes are black pitch black!
"Sally his eyes!"
"What are you talking about? Oh My God they are black! His eyes are black!"
"Run!" I grab Sally and Watch and run toward a door. But we are getting nowhere! That is right dream rules, running will get you nowhere. I have to think about where I want us to go. Instantly we are next to the door which looks like a bulkhead door to a ship. How did I know that? I open the door and we step through. It is cold again the same cold as before.
"Where are we?
"Ship…Russian…kitchen…door…77 rivets…too much…too much." What is wrong with Watch?
"He is right the ship is Russian and the writing says kitchen this way." Since when do I read Russian?
"Ann since when do you know Russian? And Watch calm down, what is wrong? Why are we in a dream a little dream of me." Sally slaps her hands over her mouth after she starts singing.
"Properties of the movies."
"Ann, Watch is right we are acting like the characters in our movies. Which means Watch is acting like Sherlock Homes. Watch might be smart, but even he cannot process all information Sherlock Homes can take in. And you know random bits of information because the kids in the movie were in on the academic decathlon team. And in my movie all the characters can sing." Sally is right we are acting like characters from our movies.
"So how do we help Watch?"
"I got this. Watch you need to focus on only the most important information and work slowly from there. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Sally it might take a while."
"Guys if we are acting like the characters from our movies."
"Then Adam is possessed like Emily in the movie." Sally always seems to be finishing my thoughts.
"OK so how do we get him back and how do we get out of here?"
"We need to be in Adam's dream. He will have the most power there."
"OK Watch how do we get there?" As Sally says that there is a banging on door we came through. Possessed Adam must be catching up.
"The question we need to ask is whose dream we are in. That person will have the most power."
"I think we are in my dream. There is a ship in the movie." With that Adam appears through the door. In the distance I can hear the howl of wolves.
"Quick through the kitchen door Adam is here and the wolves are coming!" As we go through the door the cold goes away. Whose dream are we in now?
Sally P.O.V.
As we burst through the door I almost fall into an empty pool. Luckily Ann grabs me and pulls me toward her. Next thing I know I am in Ann's arms. Thank God this is dream that means I can't blush, because if I could I would.
"Sally are you OK? You almost fell into the empty pool. Why is there an empty pool?"
"I think this is my dream. This is the pool from the rift-off scene."
"Interesting, Ann, what were you think about when you opened that door?"
"I'm not sure Watch. I was just thinking that we needed to get somewhere safe."
"So your subconscious took control and took us to a place you would consider safe. That means you must associate 'being safe' with Sally."
"Uh.. I guess?" Ann doesn't seem too sure why she when she thinks of 'being safe' she thinks of me. And I am not sure how I feel about that. It makes me feel warm inside, but I don't have time to think about that. Because Adam is right behind us!
"Guys we need to get away now!" Next thing I know we are in the empty pool. I look around for away out and see the projector random song selection thing. (A/N: I don't really know what that thing is called, but I want one!) I quickly pick it up and press the button. The projection starts spinning faster and faster until a portal appears.
"Brilliant Sally using the projector to create a portal."
"Thanks Watch but lets admire my brilliance from the other side of that portal!"
We jump through the portal and end up in a graveyard. What is even weirder is that our clothes changed.
Watch P.O.V.
The graveyard from the movie…Our clothes have changed of fit the late 1800's…I am wearing clothes much like the ones that Sherlock Homes worn in the movie…Sally is dressed like John Watson in the movie…Ann dressed like Irene Adler.
"Is everyone OK?"
"Yeah I am fine Sally. What about you Watch? Where are we?"
"I believe we are in my dream now. I am fine. Sally what were you thinking about when you created the portal?"
"I just wanted somebody to figure out how to get Adam back and us out of this."
"You must associate me with problem solving so your mind took you to my dream."
"Watch why are we dressed like this?"
"My dream has more detail and what we are wearing is correct to the movie."
"OK so what do we do now?"
"Well I will create a door to take us to Adam's mind right now before my subconscious takes control and we aren't in control of where we end up." I take the time to create a doorway in one of the open graves. Just as I do that Adam shows up. Right on time.
"Follow me." I lead them over to the grave where I created the doorway. "Jump!"
And with that we find ourselves on grassy field with a creepy looking tree and a barbwire fence.
Adam P.O.V.
I keep following my friends…I think they are my friends…I am not sure…the voice won't shut up…KILL THEM…KILL THEM ALL! But I don't want to! I follow them from dream to dream…I can barely make them out. They are always surrounded my fog. But the fog is lifting. We are on a grassy field with creepy tree. It looks familiar. It is the tree from the movie! What is going on?
"Adam can you hear us?"
"Sally?"
"Yes Adam it is me. You have to fight it!"
"Fight what?"
"Adam you are possessed you have to fight it!"
"Possessed?" The voice comes back…KILL THEM!
"NO I will not kill them you can't make me!" With that I can feel the demon splitting from me. In a bout of pain the demon completely separates from me. When I look up I see the demon. It looks just like me but its skin is like the night sky. I want to be a way for him and with my friends. And then I am on the ground surround my friends.
"How did I get here? What is going on?"
"No time for that Adam right now you need to think of something to get us out of here."
"What would get us out of a dream?"
"I always wake up from a dream if I start to fall."
"That is brilliant Sally. Adam I need you to create a cliff that has no bottom."
"OK I will try." I can see the demon with my face approaching so I think about a cliff right behind us that has no end. And the next thing I know a cliff appears.
"Everyone jump!" Hoping that Watch and Sally are right we leap off the cliff.
Ann P.O.V.
I awake with a jolt. I look around Adam had fallen off the couch during the dream. Sally is standing over him helping him up. Watch is slowly standing up. I check on him, he seems OK.
"Is everyone OK?"
"Yeah." Sally says.
"Yeah, but how did that happen?"
"Adam has posed a very good question, how did that happen?"
"I think I can know the answer. Madeline."
"How did Madeline know how to do that?"
"Well before I could leave Shadowmere Madeline called me into her lair."
"Did you know this was going to happen?" The look of hurt on Sally's face is almost more than I can bear.
"No she just called me in to see what you guys were up to. And I told her nothing. But she noticed that I was in a hurry to leave so she asked were I was going and I told her about the movie night. When I was leaving she had a smile on her face and I felt a chill that I thought nothing of at the time. But it must have been a spell."
"OK can you undo the spell because I would rather that not happen again?"
"I think I can Sally, just give me a minute." I walk over to the movies and cast the disenchantment spell "et irrita faceremus augurium." The dvds begin to glow and the glowing dissipates. "There the spell is broken."
"I can't believe Madeline did all of that to try and kill us."
"I don't think Madeline was trying to kill us."
"What do you mean Watch?"
"If Adam had killed us we most likely would have all woken up, but to Adam he would remember killing each and everyone of us. I can't even imagine the psychological trauma that would have put Adam through."
"Damn that is evil!"
"I think we should all go home."
"Yeah I think Ann is right guys. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I am going to sleep for a week."
With that Adam went back into his house and Watch started heading home. But, Sally hasn't left yet.
"Ann, I can't let you go back to Shadowmere!"
"I will be OK Sally."
"No you can't go back to Shadowmere, not with Madeline there, not after what she just did. I always knew see was the villain but tonight was pure evil."
"Sally I have to go back or all that we have been working for will have been for nothing."
"I don't care Ann. I can't let you go back!"
"Sally I have to go back and you know it!" I feel bad for yelling at Sally, but no matter how much I don't want to go back to Shadowmere I have to.
"OK so you might be right, but can you at least not go back tonight?" Sally is looking up at me with a puppy dog look on her face that is just not fair.
"OK I won't go back to Shadowmere tonight. Madeline shouldn't be expecting me until tomorrow anyway." The smile on Sally's face is worth giving in to her. "Where am I going to sleep then?"
"You are going to stay at my house tonight."
"OK so where will I sleep when I am at your house?"
"In my bed."
"And where will you sleep then?'
"Ann I think we can both sleep in the same bed without any problems." After that she turns around I can feel a smile on my face and a blush creeping up too. The idea of sleeping in the same bed as Sally makes me feel warm inside. But I don't know why. And even a happy as I am I can't help but worry about how I will be able to talk to Madeline tomorrow. I am not looking forward to that conversation. Oh well nothing I can do about it might as well just follow Sally home and hopefully have a dreamless sleep for the rest of the night.
I hope that wasn't too confusing. To let you understand what was happening with Watch. I was trying to convey multiple thoughts all happening at once. I hope that wasn't hard to read. And with Adam I was trying to convey two minds warring in ones head and one of them slowly losing and then gain control again. All in all I hope y'all enjoyed the chapter.
