I had missed this. Dreams came to me. What were dreams exactly though? The elders were always saying that they were problems in your life that you needed to fix, but really? The elders couldn't always be right. "A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams, and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true."[/i][Cinderella] I had been thinking of this quote for quite some time. It was right, well, could be right if looked at from a different perspective. Hell, if that was even the quote. I hadn't seen that since I was a little child.
My eyes fluttered with the thoughts I had been putting into this. Then dreams about pain, what were they? You wouldn't just write them off as Nightmares. There was something deeper than that. Premonitions, illusions, fears?
I shivered slightly, a chill having run up my spine. I was tired, and as I thought, I seemed to fall into a sleepy-dreary state. I had lost my train of thought for a moment, and in that moment, I morphed back into my human form. I couldn't stop it, and I didn't fully know it had happened.
My eyes opened a few times and the world spun. Ever noise of people yeling down the hall made me irratable, as well as made my eyes crossed. I wanted to scream and punch something, but I couldn't. I was lost in a daze of my own thoughts. This had never happened before and I blamed how tired I was.
I finally did it. Closed my eyes, and fell asleep. It wasn't dark, dreamless sleep. It was bright, the smell of salt filled the air. Everything was bright and colorful. Birds flew around catching butterflies and moths. Whilst fish swam in a small pond that sat infront of me.
I seemed to be in somewhat of a Utopia that wasn't mine. I felt my feet kick, and my hands instinctivly grabbing the thin sheet of the bed, pulling it over my body.
My utopia seemed to flutter about, with mild flashes of lightning here and there. When that bright of the light flashed, the sound of rain was present, and the darkness of a city was around me. The utopia slowly seemed to fade, growing less and less as the lightning snapped across my vision, and everything was dark and gloomy.
Was this a wish? or a nightmare? I felt myself shiver as I looked over the side of what seemed to be a rather tall building. The jump seemed so enticing, I wanted to dive into the darness below. And after another flash or two, I did. I jumped, my body arching until my hands pointed to the deep black tar below. Then I hit it. The landing wasn't what I was expecting. It was soft, and after awhile the tar began to pulate, and flow, until I was in a deep blue river or ocean.
Then there was a loud jolt, a thump, as if someone was pulling themselves quickly to their feet and running from something. I yawned, and my eyes fluttered open.
"Don't you sleep for more than an hour at a time kid?"
I watched him as he ran for the phone. My eyes widened and I rose, trying to keep the thin sheet over my body. I had apparently lost my towel somewhere in the bed. He reached for the small phone in the room and I hissed.
"Are you crazy?! Don't you touch that! They'll trace it you idiot"
I couldn't do it. I couldn't let this kids fears take everything away from me. I wouldn't get killed because they wanted our DNA. I lied when I spoke of not knowing. I lied, and he didn't even notice.
He has DNA. Immunity. The Elixer of Life. He has it. I have it. That's why they chose us. We heal, faster than anyone else they know of. We're some of the only [i]'specials' trying to live a normal life in a normal town like humans. I shook my head, snatching my hands out, and grabbing the phone.
I wouldn't let him. They would kill us. Too many of our cells would be taken. What would happen when they started taking blood? Hooked up to one of those machines for life because our blood cells can regerate a little bit faster than an average humans.
"I can't let you do anything with the phone, Danny" My voice was apologetic, but it was also stern. I only hoped he wouldn't fight me on this. He would simply let go whatever he was thinking.
It had been a smart trick, making me fall asleep before he used the phone. He was loud though, and his heart raced. I wasn't sure I was right in my conclusion
ooc-
I'm so sorry it took so long... There was no internet in the resort unless I paid for it and my mom wouldn't. I hate to say that tomorrow will be my last day for about three weeks [Unless I can sneak my laptop and there is internet] then I will try to post in my free time every night. Sorry for the inconvenience D:
