Amnesia: The Golden Guard

Chapter two: The Pirate

Daniel's POV:

I groaned, sitting up slowly. Quickly clutching my head with both hands, I grunted in pain; an invisible brick force hitting the back of my head, at least it felt that way. Finally, the pain slowly eased away, leaving the left side of my face feeling weird. I rose a hand and rubbed my cheek that tingled with numbness. The numbing feeling disappeared faster than it came; that was really strange. I yawned, stood up, stretched out, and got dressed for school. Oh, the joy of being a sophomore... I thought bitterly, stuffing my books and binders in my bag pack, and then going down the stairs. The smell of waffles hit my nose, as I placed my bag on the back of my chair.

"Smells delicious Holly, I'm starving," As if on cue, my stomach cried out in its hungry manners.

Entering the kitchen, I got the drinks, mats, and silver ware; ready to eat, I sat down as Holly served me my plate, then served herself before also sitting down.

"How'd you sleep?" I questioned, pinching a forkful of the fluffy breakfast.

I wasn't usually the one to start a conversation, but my sister was very quiet at the moment... Too quiet...

"Horrible... I kept having this strange dream... Over and over, and over again," Holly sighed, just poking at her waffles.

"What dream?" I questioned; pieces of my dream coming back to me, slowly putting them together.

"I'm in this closet, hiding from... From this monster..." Holly continued on, briefly describing the monster from her nightmare.

It suddenly clicked in my head; I had a similar dream to hers.

"I had a similar dream," I started, putting my fork down, "I was protecting Savanna from that same thing that you described. At the end of my dream... I think I died..."

I finished my waffles; crumpling my napkin and throwing it on my plate, I stood up and took mine and Holly's plate.

"We had the same dream," Holly stated, getting up from her chair, grabbing her bag pack, and walking towards the door.

I copied her; grabbing my stuff and headed towards the door. We exited the house, and headed towards the sidewalk. While we waited, I decided that our dreams needed to be discussed; it was a weird feeling, like something big was coming.

Holly's POV

I kept my gaze on the street in front of us, my heart racing; you'd think that I ran a marathon. Glancing at my brother, I noticed that he wasn't really there. His mind was elsewhere, his brown eyes clouded over with a distant look. Sighing, I turned back to the street, half-expecting that inhuman thing to tackle me out of nowhere. I shook my head, mentally kicking myself; seriously? It was just a dream, get over it. I scolded myself harshly.

I whipped around, yelping as Daniel placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Stop, you're only making this worse. Think about it, we both had almost the same dream," Danny started, soon stopping as our bus pulled up in front of the house.

"Let's just drop it for now; it may have been the steak that we ate. Food poisoning, maybe," I snapped, wanting to end this conversation already.

I entered the bus as soon as the doors opened with a hissing sound. Picking a seat that seemed deserted, I placed my stuff down, sitting down afterwards. My piercing green gaze traveled to my crush since freshman year; Chase Lindos, a tall, curly haired, brunet, with brown eyes. I watched as he messed around with his girlfriend; a beach blonde, blue eyed, slender, young woman, which was the same age as me. Seventeen. Sliding a leg up to my chest, I slumped down into my seat. Chase had never glanced my way, he never noticed me before. I winced as a crumpled piece of paper was thrown at me; tears pricked at my green optics. I was never accepted into any group, they all thought I was weird or made fun of me.
