Pluto

Chapter 02

I just want to say thanks to my friends who read this it means a lot, but is still kind of scary. But I'm putting it out there so there's bound to be someone who doesn't like it.

I stood there back in Earth's room, but her dress looked so much better than it was when I left her. This is a dream. She can't be real.

"You're okay," I said in disbelief.

"Yes," she said with a smile on her face "Come hear." she gestured for a hug. When I went to hug her she pressed her chocolate-colored lips on mine. I would like to say I didn't like it but I'd be lying. I embraced every second of this dream I could. She pulled away sooner than I wanted.

"I love you," she said, turning her back toward me. Then she crumbled to dust.

"Earth," I screamed and tried to catch her but she crumbled even more. "No no no no no no, come back, please come back." I bang my hand against the floor and then the floor crumbles to dust too. I fall through it screaming as I fall. What happened next I could not explain other than a figment of my imagination. I hear voices as I fall.

"I'll never love you" I hear Earth's voice say.

"You'll never be anything other than a dwarf planet," Mars's voice barks at me.

"None of us ever loved you," I hear my father's voice say, and at that, I stop screaming and block out all of the voices and yell as loud as I can "WAKE UP!" I woke up instantly. I shoot out of bed and up to the mirror. I looked as if I had been up all night. I calm down and go back into the main room. To my surprise, Earth was laying on my bed wide awake.

"Earth?" I say.

"Hey," she said in a weird distorted voice "How'd you sleep."

"Good. You?"

"It doesn't matter. How would you like to die...honey?" She pulled a huge katana out of her back. "How about cutting it into pieces?" At that, she sprints at me. She is way faster than she should be in that dress. I sprint out the door, but she is quick to match my pace. I see Mars's room and I barge through the door and slam into Mars.

"Woah there," he says and then notices that Earth is chasing me. "This is what you dream about," and shuts the door making sure to lock it.

"You're invading my dream?" I am angry more than I am scared.

"Yup, and while I'm doing it we both could die." He said with a terrified look on his face. Earth finally reaches the door.

"Then get out!"

"I can't until you wake up!" he screams back at me. We hear Earth slamming her katana into the door. A huge splinter hits my arm. I scream in pain. The room starts to spin. Mars caught me as I was about to fall.

"No, you're not going to pass out and leave me here to fight her by myself." he rips out the splinter the size of a knife, and rips his red pajama shirt off to wrap around my arm, and I can't help but look at his muscles. Then he pulls his arm around me and picks me up.

"I know another way out: he runs into his bathroom and shuts the door. He puts me down on the floor and pushes the stink out of the way of a door into the hallway. He picks me up and opens the door. I push myself out of his arms because I feel my strength coming back. And we both ran down the hallway. I could hear my heart beating through the walls.

"Where are you going?" Earth said and let out a manic laugh. We both built away from her, but the hallway started to get longer and darker. It continues to get dark until I can't see anything. I hear her let out another laugh closer than I would like her to.

"Pluto stops her! It's your dream! Stop her." just after he said that heard a thump on the floor behind me.

"Stop running," Earth says this time right into my ear. I feel her grab my waist and start spinning me. The lights turn back on, and I see her face, which is no longer beautiful. She has a huge smile on her face from literary ear to ear. Her teeth have gone sharp, like a shark's teeth. She leans closer to me, still spinning me around, and opens her mouth, and when I feel she is going to bite my head I scream "WAKE UP!" I hope it will work better than last time. Then the whole hallway went back to pitch black.
