FLASHBACK EXTRAS

FUTURE CHAPTER!!!

A/N Sorry I haven't been updating Flashback... I left my flashdrive at my mom's house so I most likely won't be able to do anything for awhile. :( But to make up for it, I'm posting a chapter that won't be around until MUCH later on. Mostly because I'm getting tired of doing POVs all the time, but still, YOU all get a chapter from the second book, and I get to finally write it, because I've been thinking about it for a while now and I want to get it out of my head!!! So now I'll stop ranting and wish you a happy reading everyone!!!

The white dust was gritty as I let it sift through my fingers. It wasn't like normal sand. It had a darkeness about it. I just wanted to get away from it. But I couldn't. I was locked in a room that was covered in it. It managed to get everywhere. On the wall, floor, ceiling, even in my hair and shoes. But the one place I couldn't stand above any of these places was in my head.

The dust was there too. It had invaded even the most private reaches of my mind. And it was exploring every inch. It had seen every bit of me. And I had barely seen a speck of it. And I thought I was going crazy then!

That was before it had started to talk to me. It was the same voice as before, but stronger, closer, and above all, more powerful. He - yes, it was a he - had spoken the strangest words I had ever heard. They weren't even words. It was more like growling. And the language was familiar. The words held magic in them. Strong magic.

And strangely enough, the words had soothed me. The one who had said them struck an instinctive fear, but the words themselves were calming. They made me feel whole. I hadn't felt this way since - the fear struck again. Paralyzing me. I shielded the magic inside, but it still felt too exposed.

It is nice to finally meet you Ren. I must say, you have a beautiful mind. Even more so than the first Queen. He must have noticed my terror, because he spoke more in the strange language from before. You need not be afraid. You will not meet her fate, dear Portal.

I somehow mustered the courage to say a few words back in my head. "Why do you call me that?"

He chuckled and said You don't need to know that. But I presume you would like to see your partner? After all, those dreams must be confusing.

I didn't have time to respond before he flashed what must have been hundreds of pictures through my head. They were all of the green dragon. The one I had been seeing. Surrounding him were always  two dragonesses, one firery red and another more of an indigo, and a silver male, more slight in size. He was happy in all of the earlier pictures, but as the slideshow went on, the green dragon began looking sadder and angrier. Then the other dragons dissapeared and the pictures ended.

I felt a great loss when he was gone. There was something about him that made me feel safer. I could tell that the voice in my head was pleased with my reaction. He murmured a bit more before talking again. This time he was stern. Unmoving. Like a rock.

You shouldn't see him. Not after what you said. I don't like it when Macavellian gets upset. He is much less cooperative. I like my subjects humble. You will learn to be compliant as well. You may be the Wolf's catch, but you are my prize.

Then I felt the burning. It was on the back of my neck, closer to my shoulders, and the pain was focused in an area about the size of a coin. He kept talking while it burned. He said one word, over and over and over until I couldn't even hear the voice in my own head over the pain. Then it was gone. The pain and the voice. Left over was only two things. His mark on the back of my neck. A simple M. And the one word that he had repeated. The word that brought me to the edge of sanity. His name.

A/N You like? I hope you do. I spent forever working out the fine details. This is one of my most important chapters. Please comment! Tell me if there are any typos (cuz I hate typos with a passion)! If you have questions, I will answer them the best I can! And If you have any tips, please, do tell!!! ;D
