Chapter 22

Lefty drooled sleepily as she was being guided/ helped into bed… She was really too tired to care what was happening at the moment as she flopped into bed exhausted. The only thing she could could think of was sleep… Yet, as she drifted off into what she liked to call ‘the mid point’ where you’re vaguely aware you’re awake, but not asleep, Lefty sensed something really strange… 

There was a very faint breeze in the air… Lefty tried to ignore it so she could head off into dream land, but the breeze got stronger… “What the haymonkeys?! Can’t someone get some sleep?! I’m never going to with THAT kind of breeze!” Lefty angrily thought, as she huffed and blinked open her eyes to see what was the deal…

However, when she opened her eyes she had to quickly close them due to the sudden light contrast. “Oww! Who left the lights on?!” Lefty tried to yell her thought out, but it remained trapped in her head….  Lefty then tried to lick her lips to unseal her mouth, since sometimes it tended to do that without water in the night, but as hard as she tried to move her tongue it refused to budge… “Ok, not funny… Why can’t I move? Is this another one of those dumb dreams where I’m about to wake up?” Lefty thought, since she couldn't speak… 

Lefty then started to hear a faint voice that started to get louder and more recognizable  “NO! YOU CAN’T HAVE HER!!!!!" Lefty heard a voice… "Cat?" Lefty’s body began to go into panic mode as she realized that she was having some sort of dream… She didn't like what she was hearing, yet at the same time she wanted to open her eyes again and see what was happening… However, fear won against her better judgement and she decided that keeping her eyes shut would be best until she knew what was going on… So Lefty simply laid there and listened as the sound of another voice came into her hearing range…

 “*Tehehisss hehetiss*…. This…? THIS is the hero? *Bwhaha!* Really?! This is it? This is all I get to play with?! A scrawny pipsqueak? *ho-ho!* This is a riot! This can’t be the hero! She’s too young! I think those ‘light loving  freaks’ are just messing with me now! They know their hero is never going to come, and now they just want to toy with me! *hahahaha! Hehe….*” The voice laughed….

Suddenly it turned very rough and almost growl like, which made Lefty shiver… “So…. Let’s get rid of her quickly…” The voice roared making Lefty very nervous despite the fact she knew it was just a dream… The footsteps got closer and closer to her until they stopped for a little bit… 

“But hey, I’m a nice guy… Let’s not leave our guests out in the dark as well!” The voice purred as the sound of screams got closer until they sounded like they were right next to her… 

“NO! YOU CAN’T HAVE HER!!!!! LEFTY!!!!!!!!!!!!” Cat screamed again… The voice seemed to walk closer to the direction Cat’s voice came from and growled… “SILENCE!! Your punishment is next for pretending to be the hero as WELL! Would you LIKE me to put you in line FIRST!?” The voice roared as it started to change into something that sound more like a dinosaur, except it was a bit more raspy than that… “Perhaps a dragon?” Lefty thought as her body remained stiff as a nail…

A faint squeak was heard coming from the general direction of Cat as the voice walked over towards Lefty again… The unforgiving sound a sharp metal could be heard being unsheathed as Lefty’s body screamed for her to get up and move… But Lefty could do nothing but lay still as some kind of force prevented her from moving her limbs…

Roars and hisses could be heard around Lefty as the voice’s feet stood on top of her body, causing all kinds of pain to shoot through her as she laid there helpless… The voice didn't stop there and now its knees were digging into her side and putting more pressure on her body… 

"Owwowoww!" Lefty screamed in her head as she tried to move any part of herself to get away. But yet again, nothing changed... Lefty felt sick; this dream was becoming a bit too real for her...

A faint whisper could be heard… “So now what do you have to say Prophet? Now what do you do?! It’s over… You've lost, and I've won…” The voice mocked as it changed again into a more soft and soothing voice, like an angel or mother’s voice would be, but a little bit harsher than that… Lefty heard another voice speak next to her, that sounded very familiar, yet distant as well… “I may have lost today ‘Dark shadow’… But tomorrow is your dying day…” Lefty froze in horror as she realized what was going on, while the ‘Dark Shadow’ screamed in agony...

“YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY SUCH BLASPHEMY!!! YOU WILL DIE NOT ME!! I HAVE WON!!!” The voice shrieked as it roared angrily… Then it snorted angrily, as Lefty heard it turn back around towards her and growl… From the sound of it, Lefty thought it was charging towards her for whatever reason as it bellowed along the way… “IT IS FINISHED!!!!” Lefty thought she heard the voice scream, but she couldn't tell if it was the ‘Dark Shadow’s’ voice or the other mysterious one… Then suddenly a sharp pain hit Lefty’s side; making her jerk awake and scream… 

Lefty panted as she wiped cold sweat off her face… “Just a dream… Just a dream…” Lefty reminded herself as she looked around at her friends sleeping… She then looked at her cross necklace because it was glowing rather brightly… She then came to conclusion that her cross necklace had given her that dream to prepare for what was to come…

“Tell them…” The stone cross whispered to Lefty… Lefty growled in response… “Ya.. And I’m the queen of mars…” Lefty frowned as she got up out of her bed and went to get some water from the sink… “Lucky they have a sink in this dimension...” Lefty thought groggily as she tried to wake up a bit… 

The cross stone seemed to glow intensely, as it flashed brightly off and on… “This is not up for discussion  You need to tell them …” The stone whispered with a bit of urgency in its voice this time… 

Lefty didn't like the sudden pressure she was feeling, and instead ignored the voice and continued to splash water on her face… The stone wasn't going to take no for an answer though, and flashed brighter on and off… This made Lefty aggravated as she realized she could now hear stirring in the bedrooms, no thanks to the light the stone necklace was making…

“What the haymonkeys man!? Why do you constantly insist on forcing me to do things I don’t want to do?!” Lefty screamed at the stone necklace in her mind… However, she was quickly interrupted by the sound of pawsteps heading towards her direction… 

:O Whoa, did Lefty just have a vision? 0_0 Hmm... Seems legit to me, but why won't she tell anyone? >:O You'll just have to tune in next time and find out! ^_^

(Picking up pace huh? ;3)
