Tessa heard a commotion in the other room. Is that what he means? she thought. Maybe i should check it out....or better... she looked in the girls direction. She shook her head. I'll wait an see.
hey thanks, there's more. CHPATER 3 ^.^ I had a dreamless sleep. I woke up thinking I hadn’t slept at all! My alarm hadn’t gone off, but when I looked at the clock, I’m glad it hadn’t. It was 2:00a.m.! I sighed and went back to bed. This time, I had a dream. “Is that all?†Harper laughed. “Smith, that is nothing to be worried about! Why…†A sound from behind made the men turn around. “What was that?†Smith said quickly. “If I knew that, I would tell you, Smith.†Harper said with a sigh. “Sorry….†“I think we have a spy in our midst. Look around Smith.†Harper told Smith. “Right-to!†Smith said saluting. “Uh…what should I look for…?†“Anything spy-like.†Harper replied. After a while’s search, they found nothing. The scene faded out. When I could see, I noticed I was in the same room. Then an idea flashed through my head. Those guys were looking for me! I made the sound and now they think I’m spying! Maybe I am…I thought. The men turned around. “Hey you!†Bellowed the one with the cigar. I spun around and began to run. The men ran after me. I was sprinting across the room dodging obstacles left and right. I was running so fast, I didn’t see the brick wall in front of me. WHACK! I ran into the wall with great force. Pain shot up my body and to my brain. Just then, I woke up. I noticed the ‘wall’ I had run into was nothing but the floor... and my dresser. I reached to the back of my head and felt a goose egg. “Oh great!†I said. I looked at the clock. 6:00 a.m. Thirty minutes before I usually get up. I might as well get ready. I thought. I got up and got ready for school. I was just finishing up when my alarm started going off. “Yeah, yeah, I hear ya…†I told it. I flipped the switch. The beeping continued. “You stupid thing! Turn off!†I hollered at it. The continuous beeping gave me a headache. I unplugged it and the beeping continued. Only then did I realize it was TNT’s alarm beeping. “Nicky? What were you yelling about?†Mom called up the stairs. “ Nothing, I’m just a little slow this morning mom….†I answered. “Ok, I’m going to work early again, today, hon. Can you take care of Tina and Terra?†She inquired. “ Don’t I always? Yeah, I’ll take care of ’em.†I replied. “Bye. Tell them I said tootles!†She told me and walked out the door. Right when I heard it slam I went to TNT’s room. “Alright girls, get up and dressed. Mom left early… again...and left me in charge… again. You know the rules, lets go! Oh, and, mom said tootles. †It was a typical morning in the Johnson house. I spotted Kiera in the hallway, so when I ran up to meet her. “Kiera! Kiera! Where were you yesterday?†I said breathlessly. “Home sick, didn’t my mom tell you?†She said. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes had bags under them. “Yeah but… you’re hardly ever sick. Girl, it must have been bad because you look like you just ran a mile!†I said, trying to make her laugh. She smiled and began mindlessly looking through her locker. “Whatcha lookin’ for?†I asked her. “Uh…nothing…†She told me. She immediately stopped looking and slammed the locker shut. “Ya know, I’ve been having the weirdest dreams lately!†“Oh, really? Huh…†“What?†“It’s just, I’ve been having strange dreams, too. I’m always running from something. Maybe they are just nightmares, but I don’t think so. They have a meaning, like soon, we will all be running from something.†She nodded. “Tonight, I hope I have a different dream, just to prove myself wrong!†With that, she looked relieved, like she had been holding that back for a while. I agreed with her, and we went to class. That night, I had a continuation of the dream the night before. “Hey, you! What are you doing here?!†Harper bellowed. “Who are you?†“A spy! Harp, this is a spy! She was sent to steal our plans! Get her!†They both scrambled up to get her. Just then, the girl ran into a wall! “Oh, gosh! That had to hurt!†Smith said. “Who cares? Easy catch. Get her.†Harper said. Smith obediently picked her up and lay her down on the table. Harper proceeded to strap her down. “There.†He said when he was finished. “Now, let’s wait until she comes to.†He sat in his chair. The scene faded out and a new one came. I moaned quietly. My head was throbbing, sending jolts of pain through my body in the process. “Hey she’s awake!†A man in a long coat exclaimed. A man with a cigar woke up with a grunt. “What was that?†“She’s awake!†The man in the coat said. “W-who are y-you?†I sputtered. “Smith. This is Harper,†he said pointing to the now awake man with the cigar. “SMITH!†he roared. “Don’t tell her everything! Remember, she’s a spy!†“What? NO! I-I’m not. Promise! R-really! Honest truly.†I told them quickly. “I believe you, kid,†the one that appeared to be Smith said. “Well, I don’t. Prove it.†Harper spat, lighting a new cigar. “Uh…†I thought quickly. “My name is Nicole Johnson…uh…I live in Katy, Texas and I have 2 sisters. I also have a mom and a dad who is on a trip to Brazil.†Smith smiled. “Now that’s proof!†“I suppose,†Harper said, puffing his new cigar. “Your name’s Nicole, did you say?†“Yes sir.†“You live in Katy, did you say?†“Yes sir.†He turned to Smith. “This is no spy we’re dealing with here, Smith. This is just an innocent girl, the question is---†“Uh…Sir?†“Yes, Nicole? And call me Harp.†“Ok…Harp… Where am I?†“Why, you’re in Austin, Texas, Nicole!†“Oh… Wait, this is just a dream, so I’m not really in Austin, I just think I am!†I said triumphantly. The two men just looked at each other. “Dream? Oh, no honey, this is the real thing. You are here and we have you strapped to a table. How did you happen to stumble upon our abode, Nicole?†he asked me. “I…I’m not really sure, Harp. Hey! Has a girl named Kiera come here?†“Oh yes, a while ago. She’s over there.†He said, nodding his head. “She just popped up like you, and we put her to work. For some reason, she also said we were a dream. She has now figured out we aren’t. She’s working for us, now. We gave her a choice and she wanted to stay. She said you’d show up, so you can go see her.†With one swift move, he had me untied. I jumped up and ran over to Kiera. She looked up and leaned on the mop she was using. “So, you made it, too?†she asked, looking me in the eyes. “Yep…onldid I get here?†“Don’t know. Had somethin’ to do with the dreams. I’m sure of it. I told you we would soon all be running from something,†she told me. “Yeah, but what are we running from, him?†I said nodding me head to Smith, who was trying to show Harper a trick. Kiera looked. “What in the world is he doing?†“Um, I think he is trying to stand on his head.†I told her, trying to make her laugh. She giggled, but that was all. “Well, if you grab a mop, you can help clean up.†She told me, throwing a mop at me. I caught it and began mopping. “Nicole, Kiera, come here! Look at this!†Harper yelled.
"OK." Shiarra said smiling.
Rei's senses started coing back, although she didn't open her eyes, and she desperatly wanted them to leave again. The pain was unbearable, it almost took her breath away.
The girl walked off, laughing. I have to wait. I'll have my chance later. Tessa thought evily.
Rei felt the pain as she fell to the ground. After that, she blacked out.
A girl came up to Tessa. "Who was that guy?" she asked. "Noneya." Tessa said. "And who are you?" "Noneya." The girl smarted. Tessa had an urge to pin her with the bow and arrow. She let it pass.
"Thats cool. Mabey i'll catch one, one day.." Rei said. Torchic began chasing Pooch around Rei's legs. Pooch ran from Torchic. "Pooch!!!" he said to Torchic. Dotty resorted to cheering on Pooch. "Seed-dot!" she ssaid happily. "I've got some rowdy pokemon."
"Sure." She lied. No way she'd leave Alaric.
Rei closed her eyes. And i die? she thought. She didn't struggle, she just let it happen. Whatever her fate, she let it happen.
I'm glad I have so much upper arm strength. She thought, climbing after Sessamaru. "Then what?" Shiarra asked.
"Its ok." Tessa said, kissing him on the cheek.
((OOC: oh, gosh, LOOK OUT REI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)) BIC: Rei saw it coming. "Crap." she siad, moving to the right.
Tessa blushed. She hugged him.
((OOC: cool thanx)) BIC: "Thanks. And Your's are awsome. I've always wanted a Houndour, where'd you get it?" Rei smiled.
"I guess I will." Rei smarted. Who did this guy think he was? She shot in the air, looking for an opening.
Shiarra followed. She put her small hands on the huge rocks. "We going up?" she said.
Tessa giggled. "It's ok!" she said. she smiled. This is fun. she thought.
Rei landed on the ground, gasping for air. "ow..." she said. She forced herself to stand. She picked up her tanto. "I wont give up." She said.
"oh wow. I like your pokemon!" Rei said. "Here's mine." She got her pokeballs off her belt. "C'mon out, guys." she said, dropping the balls. Pooch came out of the ball. "Poochena!" he said. (spelling?) Dotty came out, too. "Seed-dot!"
