Chapter 8

I awoke to the morning sunlight streaming in through my windows, through the tan curtains and shades, and lighting up my face. With an annoyed groan, I pulled the covers over of my head and turned so my back was to the window. Not only was I not a morning person (not in the very slightest), I didn't get too much sleep last night due to the whole Akari escaping incident. Of all the things in the world to happen, it had to be Akari escaping. My worst nightmare ever. The mystery man was annoying as usual, but now I had another thing to look out for.

My eyes wandered over to my clock and groaned louder as I turned back over. It read seven in the morning. I had only gotten five restless hours of sleep. Cody lay at the end of my bed, curled into a ball like he does when he was cold and snoring lightly. I smiled a bit at him before I shut my eyes and tried to get some sleep.

A knock at my door made my eyes open again. Through my one good eye I looked at the doorway with my brother standing in it. Why had Midnight left the door wide open? Did she do it when she left the room without me knowing? I couldn't remember I had brought a glass of water to bed and left it on my nightstand.

"Good morning, sister," Ryan smiled at me. I knew he wasn't a morning person, but he must have gotten up before me and the sleep had long left him. "How did you sleep?"

I grumbled and pulled the covers over my head more. "Please go away. I'm not in the mood." I said honestly in a tone that would make anyone's skin crawl.

"Not good, huh?" he sat on the edge of my bed. He looked at Cody and began to pet his chest. It didn't take long before the yellow lab rolled over on his back and let out a happy growl. With Cod on his back, I had to shift my legs just to get into a comfortable position.

"You could say that," I chuckled under my blanket, making sure he didn't hear it.

"So, what was up with last night? I heard you scream," he asked.

I gulped. Ryan may be my older brother, but, don't get me wrong, there were some things I could never tell him. There were some things I could never tell anyone. It would hurt them too much and I could never live with myself if I told them. For now, I had to think up of a good enough lie to tell him.

"Well…" I began, nervous. "..I just had a bad dream is all. It was one of those dreams where you wake up screaming to. No big deal. After I had recovered and figured out it was a dream, I fell back to sleep with no trouble."

He looked at me with eyes that clearly read 'that-is-all-is-it'. I felt my legs twitch before I remembered something. Sitting up, I managed to push Cody back onto his side and stood up.

"I have to go over to the Niwa house." I went to my dresser and opened my shirt drawer.
"Why do you have to go over?" he asked.

I paused. Crap! I said have! I needed to go over, but I wanted to say to him 'want'! Quickly, I turned towards him and waved my hands. "Did I say have? I meant want! I don't need to go over, but I want to spend time over there today. Summer break comes around only once a year and I wanna make the most of it."

Ryan stood up and walked to the door. "Okay. I'll see you later, okay?"
"Sure! I promise that we will do something together soon, okay?" I pulled out a blue v-neck short-sleeved shirt and a white cami. I closed that drawer and threw the shirts on my bed. I noticed my brother standing in the doorway. "Do you need something else?" I asked.

"No," he replied with a smile. He turned his head away. "If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask or tell me." with that, he walked off.

I knew what he meant. I've heard that line so many times that I couldn't count them up. Sighing, I took out a pair of jeans and socks. Closing the door to my room, I changed out of my sweatpants and baggy shirt and put on the clothes I had picked out. I grabbed my blue jacket and purse. I left the door open because Cody was still on my bed and if he wanted to get back on my bed while I was gone, he could. I pulled my hair into a top ponytail in the bathroom as well as a few other things before going downstairs. I gulped down my cereal and milk quickly, headed to the front door, and put on my shoes.

"Where are you going so early?" my mother's voice asked behind me. She was in a bathrobe and, by the looks of it she had just gotten up from bed.

"I was going to the Niwa house for a bit, and then going shopping. I'll be back before dinner." I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and headed out. I put on my jacket and pulled out my phone. I texted Dark and sent it just as I arrived at the bridge. I stepped on and walked across the long way.

About halfway through, my phone went off and I looked down to answer it just as someone bumped into me. I looked up at the person. He was taller than I was with dark colored hair and reddish-brown eyes. He looked at me wide-eyed.

"I am so sorry. I wasn't paying attention at all!" I apologized quickly. That's when I noticed it.

He had an aura around him and it wasn't giving off too good of a vibe. I could sense auras, but this man's was just scary.

"I'm sorry, but I have to get going." I waved goodbye to him and ran off.  "That was way too close," I said to myself.

As soon as I saw the other side, I ran quicker and noticed something waiting at the top of the steps. I saw the figure of a man and when I began to notice who it was, I smiled a bit.

"Hey," Dark said with a smile that always made me melt. "I was just coming to pick you up when I saw you on the horizon. Didn't you get my text?" we began to walk to his house.

Crap! I was too busy with the man and forgot! I pulled out my phone and check the message. Sure enough, it said to wait at the beginning of the stairs on my side.

"Sorry. I ran into a man and forgot. I was already at the stairs when I sent the text." I replied.

The thief ran a hand through his hair and put his free hand around my shoulders. "Be careful, okay?"

I nodded and smiled. A minute later, we arrived at the house. As we entered, Brianna was surprisingly the first one to greet me.

"I'm so glad you're safe!" she hugged me.

"What that supposed to mean?!" I asked.

"Just what it says!" she smiled.

The three of us went into the backyard where there were chairs set up for all of us in a circle plus a few just in case anyone else wanted in on our conversation. Dark sat in the one nearest the house and I sat next to him. Brianna was next to me and Krad took the spot next to her. Midnight took the one next to her brother. All the other seats were empty.

"So," Dark turned to me. "Can you tell us what happened in your dream last night?"

"Well…" I began. "I'm still shaky on the subject, but I was in the Amulet. Another me came up and she knew what was going on. I saw Kei talking to Akari, but I heard not a single word except for what I said and the other me said. Akari flew around and shot beams everywhere before the entire place shook and a second later fell on the floor." I gulped and felt Dark put an arm around me. I sighed before continuing. "A crack appeared and Akari escaped out of it. the other me took me to my room and I saw Akari standing in front of Midnight." I clutched the denim in my jeans and felt as if my nails were going to create a hole. "Akari came up to me and was about to strangle me, but she stopped and looked at Midnight. She muttered something I didn't hear and flew out. That's all."

"Okay." Krad said. "We don't know any place where she may be at. She could be anywhere, so we can never let our guard down. Agreed?"

Everyone nodded in response and that's when I noticed Brianna. She was tense and sweating a bit.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing. It's just…" she began. "This whole thing is scary."

"Wait a moment." Midnight looked to the sliding glass door. "Someone is coming."
Here's the next chapter! Sorry it took so long, I've got so much on my plate. I'll try to post more chapters today.
