Starred nightmares

Chapter 5 (Memories)

|Ash's POV|

"I mean she wasn't in her room. I'm fact, the room was a disaster!" I yelled at Journey. I understand things have been going wrong for her but she needed to listen to me. First the boys nightmares, then Rose disappeared, and now my own daughter is gone... "it doesn't matter, Ash. We need to figure what exactly is happening!" Journey told everyone. "Um...I need to tell everyone something that happened- ya know what never mind..."Skyla started then looked down. "Please continue Skyla. We need to know." Journey took Skylas hand. "Please" Skyla took a deep breath in and then let it out. "A few days ago Gabe woke up and he woke up and I heard him crying....I came to check on him and he was covered in blood crying into his inner demon...he looked in pain...like he couldn't take it anymore..." Skyla kept her head down while she was talking. I felt bad for her. Her sons were suffering and her oldest child just went missing. I made a promise to keep Alen and Hayden safe from harms way and I've already failed one of them...I don't wanna fail the other...

Hayden was giggling and drawling on her placemat. Alen just watched himself holding his crayon. He has always been the quite type.
"Hey mom?" Hayden looked up at me. "Yes sweetheart?" I opened my eyes and watched Hayden set her crayon down. "Rose has been telling me about these scary tales of  a demon named Olympia....she told me she nearly killed everyone...is that true...?" She looked at me with tears in her eyes. I sat down next to her and rubbed a tear off that was growing in her eye. "Even if those stories were true sweet pea I won't let anything hurt you. Both of you" I looked over to Alen who had stopped looking at the crown and started staring at the table. He looked like he was ashamed of something. Hayden hugged me started to cry. "Thank you mama." I hugged her back.

"and with that said you all are dismissed." Journey dismissed us for the day. But I wasn't paying any attention. How long was i daydreaming? Hours? Minutes? Seconds? "Ash? You can leave now." I nodded and left the room. I already failed Hayden and didn't keep my promise...I don't wanna fail Alen and break my promise to him...

|Journey POV|

"Nightmares, kidnappings," I started but Skyla stopped me from going on and held my hand. We were the the flower patch that we met.

I fell out of the sky and tried to spread my wings. Mom and dad kicked me out of the kingdom because I had wings and tails, I need to use them for something...yet I tried and they failed. I started screaming yelling for someone to help me. I closed my eyes and a few seconds later I was caught and set gently onto the ground. I opened my eyes to see a girl with brown hair and a white and pastel yellow dress staring at me smiling. She looked happy that I was okay. "Who...are you? Where...am I?" I asked. I was so confused. My brain everywhere. "Welcome to heaven. My home." She looked over to a castle. I looked with her. "O-oh....uh, I'm Journey. Thank you for saving me." She nodded, still staring at the castle. She started to frown after awhile. "They don't treat you well, do they?" She shook her head. "They act like I don't exist...I just want people to understand that I'm here standing with them..." she rubbed her eyes and looked up at me. "I'm Skyla by the way. You welcome for saving you. You don't look like anything I've ever seen before." She looked at my tails. I don't know what I am either....every since mother called me a freak and kicked me out of the kingdom... "yeah..I've never seen a angle before myself." She blushed a bit. She seemed shy and sweet. I picked up a rose and set it in her hair. "I'm trying to find somewhere to go. I'm going to make my own world! Wanna- uh...come with me? I'm taking all the misfits I meet!" She stared at me like I was joking. She smiled thinking for a moment. "I would love to! But mother wouldn't like it..." I thought for a moment. "We could escape at midnight. Your mother wouldn't expect anything!" She smiled a bit. "I would love that." She started blushing. I felt my face getting a bit red. She was trusting someone who she just met...was she crazy?

I smiled remembering.. "I know we can do it..." Skyla was staring at a flower crown she was making. It was her favorite colors, pastel yellow and white. She was wearing a cute dress with those colors. she didn't like the dress and that it made her look bad but I liked it and I saw her as a beautiful angle..she was my beautiful angle after all. "What's the crown for?" I asked once I finally stopped blushing so hard. "It's for you silly." She set the crown on my head. I blushed. "Thank you. Uh, I made one for you to I was just nervous to give it to you..." I picked up the flower crown and set it down on her head. She seemed like she loved it. She looked to the side but I could tell she was blushing. I took her hands. "We'll be alright as long as we're all together." She nodded and laid into my arms. I held her close. We stared at the stars. I wondered if we will actually pull it off this time. We nearly pulled it off last time. Skyla started to yawn. I held her closer to me. I realized how we would defeat Olympia this time. But it wouldn't be pretty.

|Marshy POV|

I sneezed off some dirt Gabe accidentally threw. "ACK! Sorry Marshy! This stuff is hard to control. "Hey, don't worry about it Gabe! It was progress!" I giggled. Gabe was my only friend. All the other demons hated me. Even my half-mom Snow hates me. I brushed my bangs out of my eyes and helped Gabe somewhat clean up the room. Then my watch blinked bright red. "What's that marshy?" Gabe saw. I quickly threw my hand onto my watch and giggled quickly. "Nothing! I just gotta go. Uh- sorry Gabe! Bye!" I dissolved into the demon realm before he could say another word. I sighed and quickly flew over to my  moms house. "I'm home!" I yelled and gently closed the door. Mom would kill me if I slammed it. "Good. You know whats happening right?" Mom came out of the kitchen. She was in her patrol outfit. She was only ever in that outfit when something bad was happening. "Kind of. You told me about the kids disappearing and I know about Gabe and Leo's nightmares..." I looked down at the ground. "Good. I'm going to need you to keep an eye on Gabe. He's your kid. And your responsibility-" "therefor I have to take care of him. I know mom." She sighed and shooed me away. I flew over to the exit of the demon Realm to go home. I started remember the day I met Gabe again. It was a nice day...

"Mama! Mama! Look what I drew!" I handed my mother the drawling and she smiled at it. "Marsha, dear. Can we talk?" She looked worried. "Uh, I guess mommy." I sat down next to her. She sighed and looked me in my eyes. "As you know your going to get a kid to be there inner demon and grow old with them someday. And you may never see me again..." I took in a breath. I hated this topic. "But that day where you meet your kid? That's today..." I let out my breath. "Mama no! It's my fourth birthday! I can't! I wanna stay here with you!" I ran over to her and hugged her. "I know my little devil. Mommy loved you."  Everything started to go black. My mother had disappeared and I was alone. I looked around and saw a kid playing with a toy lion. "My kid" the kid heard me and looked at me. His eyes widened and he started to scream. I felt like I had shrank. Like he was bigger than me when we were the same height. "Hey it's okay! My name is Marsha but you can call me marshy. What's your name?" He kind of just stared at me for a minute. The room was starting to take form. We were in a treehouse. There was another kid who looked like He had brown hair and Wolf ears. He was looking at him like he was crazy. "My name is Gabe...this is Lilo." He finally said. I smiled. It was going to be nice here...

I wiped my tear. That was probably the worst and the best day of my life. When I reached the exit I was going back to see Gabe when something grabbed my arm. "Hey! Let go!" I tried to get loose but it wouldn't let go. It covered my mouth and everything went black.

"Where...where am I?"
