Chapter 3: I'm not alone
When I arrived at Mercedes's house Amy, Gracie and I began to unpack. For about half an hour we talked charecters off of a Jappanese anime show and predicted who would be going out with who, what our favorite couples and episodes were, what we think will happen, we dished out on the charectars we didn't like,made fun of some of the member in this evil gang called "Akatsuki" and talked about who we thought was cute from the show. Then we ended up jumping on the trampoline playing popcorn, played in Mercede's jacuzzi, walked to the end of the feild, played on her computer, well, we tried to. It has AOL... We waited for it to load for an hour! We just ended up playing board games, and watch a movie.
We all fell asleep around twelve thirty. Suddenly my eyes popped open. I looked around the room. Evereybody was asleep. Even Mercedes's evil, demonic, annoying, non-stop aquaking bird was asleep. Just as I was about to go to the bathroom, I heard what sounded like somebody was struggling to breathe. A sudden gust of wind passed by. I looked to my right. "That window was closed when we fell asleep..." I whispered to myself. The sound began to sound like struggles to escape from something. Suddenly...it all stopped. All was silent. I looked over to my left to make sure Amy, Gracie, and Mercedes was okay.
My eyes had adjusted to the dark so it wasn't a problem seeing. But I thought I saw something on Mercedes. It was so incredibly dark. Until I made out smoke... not just any kind of smoke... Dark purple and Lime green smoke. I was terribly scared. But when I saw it was Mercedes I grew some bit of feeling that wasn't fear. The next thing I knew I was standing up and turning the light on. When I did. I saw it again. I got wide eyed. I fell on the ground in horror. Once angain; I felt water run down my cheeks, I found it hard for me to breathe, and I saw my own life flash before my eyes. but in the middle of my sixth birthday It stopped and I heard a scream. This time it wasn't me. It was Mercedes. Amy and Gracie were awake at the time but they thought Mercedes was just having a bad dream. They put their hands on Mercedes and shaked her. They just put their hand write through the demond. It was choking Mercedes. The demond caught a glimpse of me. Then it stood up and began to walk to me. "Well, well, it looks like Illusen and Amber know eachother. It will be fun waching you guys run like mice trying to save eachothers' lives. This will be fun. This time... I will have enough energy to destroy both of you." Then It dissapeared. "Celeste! Celeste snap out of it!" said Gracie. "Mercedes! Mercedes are you okay?!" I shouted completely ignoring Gracie. Mercedes was coughing harder and harder Amy went to get some asprin and Gracie went to get a glass of water. What was happening felt so...so familiar... "...My dream..." I whispered franticly to myself. I quicky put my hand under Mercedes's mouth. just as I expected;she coughed out blood. I quicky wipped the blood on my pillow. I put my hand on Mercedes's shoulder. Amy came back with the asprin and Gracie came back with the water. Mercedes took the asprin and quickly fell asleep...or so I thought.
An hour or so after the incodent I woke up again and Mercedes was gone. When Mercedes wants to think about somthing seriouse she goes some place high or fun to jump off of so she can look at the heavans and wonder, so the first place I looked was the trampoline then a tree. I jumped on the trampoline to see if I could see her. I did. She was on the roof. As I jumped I grabbed ahold of a tree branch, and climbed up the tree, and jummped on the roof. I stopped for a second. "What was that? I did all of that without thinking and without even making a mistake. I'm a cluts! I would've been surley to trip or miss or someting in that sereis of ninja cat like proccess." I thought. Mercedes had her knees up to her mouth staring down.
"Hey! what are you doing way up here at two in the morning? especialy in the winter without a coat?" I asked Mercedes. She looked shocked to see me. "I was just thinking..." She replied sweetly and calmly. "I-I had this strange dream, you see I was floating and then I appeared in a room with bright lights every where. I was running and running but I ran no where. I heared some body saying 'Amber...Runaway Amber while you still have a chance!'. Then I saw a girl with orange hair and a dress. The dress was yellow then it faded off into orange then that peice layerd onto another part that was red orange then that faded off into red. Her eyes wer the same color as her hair but with no puiples. It turn out it was me. I soon relised that it was also this Amber I heard voices say. Then I saw this demonic creature. It attacked me. Then I woke up. It still seemed to be attaking me." Mercedes said in the most seriouse yet depressing voice I've ever heard a 12-year-old girl talk in. My eyes widend. "I'm not alone." I said, "I had a dream like that to!" I said in shock even though I had a hunch of what was happening. Mecedes's eyes widened to. I told her about my dream. "We had the same dream?" Mercedes said skocked. "Apparently." I said. "This is weird..." Mercedes said. "...Too weird" I added.
