Darkend Night

Chapter 2

"Kenny? Are you ok?" I heard a small voice come from behind me. I turned around and saw that Mark was pointing at my arm, which was still bleeding, and looked broken. I looked back at Ketoria, and saw that she was also staring at my arm with pain showing in her eyes.

" Yeah im fine...check on the kids that are in the bus, ok Ketoria?" She nodded and ran into the doors, looking around.

"And Mark, please go and ask the bus driver for a ride to the hospital." He nodded as well and ran up the steps as fast as he could without tripping over his too big of a jacket. I poked my arm again, and flinched in pain as it traveled up to my shoulder in a burning, stabbing pain.

I decided to walk around up the bus, in search of what could have made the shadows and what also made the bus come to a sudden stop. I walked around the front and saw nothing unusual, so i continued my path around. On the side of the bus, i saw nothing but rust and the letters of what used to spell out Freedom Local Schools, but now only looked like F r dom S L. As i started making my way down to the back side of the bus, i heard a loud screech. Running back the path i made around the front, i ran into the bus doors, and saw that Mark was on the bus aisle, crying and holding the side of his face. I picked him up and ran back out, setting him in the grass by the road.

"What happened Mark? Are you ok?" I slowly removed his hand, and saw a burn that looked like a wave of water. It looked small, but it also looked white with gray mixed in with it. "Stay here ok? Im going to go and get Ketoria." I ran back inside the bus, and spotted Ketoria running back toward me. I looked at her questionably and pointed back outside. She nodded and walked swiftly passed me, going to see Mark. I took out my cell phone and called the school, telling them what had happened, but lied and said that we almost hit a group of deer.

"Alright Mr. Silver. Thank you for contacting us. We will send an extra bus, and an ambulance. Is anyone seriously injured?" The staff member said, though i couldn't remember her name.

"Uh, yes, i did. I think my arm is broken, though im not much of a doctor so i cant exactly be so sure." I said, laughing slightly.

"Oh dear... Well we will get there right away." She said urgently, then i heard the annoying, constant tone of the other line, which told me that she had hung up. I hung up my phone and went to the front of the bus.

"Is everyone okay? Please raise your hand if you got hurt." I said loud enough for everyone to hear. I looked around and noticed around 5 hands were raised, most of them in kindergarten. I walked to up to them, and noticed they were all ok, just a few cuts and bruises. I then told them that they would be okay, and I went back to looking at the other kids.

They all looked fine, some of them crying, but that was soon drowned out by the sound of sirens in the distance. I thought they were being a little overdramatic, when i soon heard more ambulances following the first one. I went back outside the bus to go and check on my two siblings. When i saw Mark, he had stopped crying and looked much better, though the burn on his face looked darker. I kneeled down and gave him a hug using my uninjured arm, to which he was grateful for, then looked back to Ketoria. I stood up and walked over to my twin sister, and helped her up. She then attacked me in a huge hug, and i could feel tears going onto the back of my shirt. Pulling away, i gave her a questioning look, and she responded with a 'ill tell you later' look. I just nodded, and gave her another hug, while i heard people walking up to us.

"Mr. Silver?" A paramedic, i assume, said. I pulled away once again and looked at them. I extended my injured arm, forgetting i got hurt, and i guess the could tell by the way my arm looked. "Come with me." She sighed, pulling me after her. I looked back and saw that the substitute bus driver was already gathering up the kids to go into the other bus.

He looked back at me and yelled something, and the paramedic must have known i couldn't hear him, and spoke for him. "Where is the other driver?" I suddenly stopped moving, and thought...Mark was the last one to see him.

"You would have to ask my little brother that..." I said, still in a bit of a trance.

"Well, we called your parents, and they are going to meet us at the hospital once we fix up your arm." I nodded, and looked around for Ketoria and Mark.

I stood up and walked away, ignoring the paramedics' protests. I found Mark hugging onto Ketoria's back and her laughing. I chuckled under my breath and walked back, and them following close behind.

Soon enough, they loaded all three of us into one ambulance, and another little girl on the other one.

While Mark admired all of the medical machines in the ambulance, me and Ketoria texted each other so that Mark wouldn't worry so much about what really happened.

~Convo~

Ket: So what exactly happend in your dream?

Me: i was a small creature, and people were wondering around looking for me, but when i saw them, they looked like armored dragons. Then when i turned back around, i saw a huge dragon! It looked like a dark green color, and it had a K etched into her skin or something! Then i looked into the eyes of the dragon and they were black!

I waited for a few moments for her reply, and during that time all i could hear was Mark asking the paramedics all kinds of questions, like "Whats this button do?" Or "Whats this watery stuff in these bags?!" I was surprised they stayed patient with him because of all of the questions he was asking.

Bzzz...i looked down at my phone and opened up the text message.

Ket: Oh. Mine was a little different, i was in a huge tree, looking around, and i saw these huge dragons, 2 of them, fighting, one cyan with pink eyes, and the other one was pink with green eyes. It was insane! Then one looked up and saw me, whipped its tail, and hit the tree, causing me to fall out.

Me: Wow...do you think this is normal? For us to have these dreams, i mean.

Ket: I dunno, but dont tell anyone else. Deal?

I decided that it was a deal, and shook her hand, laughing.

Suddenly, the ambulance doors opened, revealing the bright sunlight, and hurting my eyes momentarily.

"Aww i wanted to ask more questions!" Mark said disappointed.

"Why dont you ask the doctors while im in here?" The paramedic said happily, and walked us in.

"I hate the smell in here..." Ketoria and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and laughed.

"What in the world happened to you three?!" We turned around and saw...
