The Dreamcatcher

Chapter 1

"Wait up, Yukina!" I was yelling at my my friends to slow down her running. We were going to be late for school again if we didnt hurry.

"Hurry up Miyako. We'll miss the train!" She shouted back at me. I hear a rumble and we were running in the subway. I knew it was the train and she was probably on the train already. I keep going as fast as my feet could take me and I saw the train and Yukina was in it already. I ran even faster to the train and accidentally tackled her and me inside the train just as the doors closed.

"Miyako... you're crushing me -_-" Yukina glared at me in an annoyed manner. I looked down to see me laying on top of her on the floor of the train. I laughed embarrassed at myself and got up.

"Gomen'nasai (gomen/gomen'nasai means sorry) Yukina." I rubbed the back of my neck and helped her up. I grabbed onto a rail as the train started to move. It wasn't too crowed today, I guess because it was a Friday and everyone was rushing to get in and get out. I was rocking side to side slightly from the movement of the train and slightly bumped into someone.

"Ah, gomen." I turned to where the bump came from to apologize to the person but to my surprise, no one was really close to me. I shrugged it off and talked to Yukina about the homework and project assignment that's due in a couple weeks. The train came to a stop and I stumbled over a bit but grabbed onto Yukina's arm for support. She helped me up and we walked off towards the way to school. It was only 6:40 and school started at 7:30. But the latest train before it began was at 6:00. We started to head in the direction of the school when I began to yawn.

"Tired again Miyako? Not surprised. What time were you up until now?" I've been tired for a couple weeks now ever since my 16th birthday a few week ago but don't know why because I don't really do anything so late.

"*yawn* 2am. I didn't do anything though. I just kinda walked around my room until I passed out." There was something else though. While I was walking around I was dreaming. But they weren't my dreams. It was as if I was looking into a dreams that didn't belong to me. I still remember it. There was a little girl chasing a cat. They were playing together by a store. They looked happy. I giggled at the thought of the dream. It was cute. But why was I seeing a dream while I was a wake.

"Miyako...?"
...
"Miyako?"
...
"Miyako!" Yukina had been trying to get my attention and was clapping her hands in front of my face. I jumped a bit and gave her a cheesy smile.

"*sigh* I wanna head into this store before we get to school. You wanna come?" She asked as she pointed to a cute littler store behind us.

"Kawaii(means cute/adorable). Demo(means but), no thanks. I might see something I want and won't be able to get it cause I'm broke and be upset. I'll wait out here."

"Suit yourself. Don't go anywhere."

"I won't." With that she walked into the store leaving me outside. I decide to sit by a nearby bench. I leaned back in it taking in a nice breath in and I stretched my arms upwards. I closed my eyes and yawned once again.

"*Mew*!"

My eyes shot open and I looked around.

"Hm? I swore I heard a-"

"*Mew*!" I heard it again. I looked around for a bit until I felt something paw at my leg. I looked down to see what was touching me. Not to my surprise it was a cat. The weird thing was that it was the same dog from the dream. I bent down beside him and put my hand near him. He sniffed me and aloud me to pet him. I smiled as I began to notice that he was limping. I gently grabbed his front paw and saw a large thorn.

"Hold still." I told the kitten. I gently grabbed the thorn and quickly pulled it out. The cat whimpered a bit and licked its paw. Maybe I should skip and take him home with me today. Id hate to see an injured cat out here by itself. My thoughts were interrupted by the cat running away.

"Hey wait!" I quickly got up and chased after him forgetting about Yukina. I chased him into a secluded area of the town near the woods. I stopped for a moment as he ran into the woods but quickly chased after him again. I followed him further into the woods but the further we got the more the path started going away. I soon lost sight of the dog and come to a little open area still surrounded by trees and bushes. I looked around then heard a little rustle come from a bush. Slowly I began to approached it half out of curiosity and half out of hope it was the cat. I reached a hand out in order to push away the leaves from the bush but I never got the chance. Something jumped out, pouncing at me and harshly bit my arm. I fell back and screamed in pain as blood trickled down my arm, trying to pry the creature off. I looked at it and saw that it was a small pitch black creature with sharp claws and teeth. It looked like it was were a jesters mask as well. I screamed and cried more as its claws began to dig into my arm. I heard another rustle looked in that direction with hopeful eyes. Hoping someone would save me. Instead two more of that creature came out. They lunged towards me and bit down on both of my legs. More blood dripped out of my body. The more I struggled the harder they bit.

"Somebody help me!" I screamed in hope that someone would hear and come to help me. Was this the end? Is this how I'm gonna die? I didn't want to. Not yet. I wasn't ready. I had so much to do. I had dreams. The monster that was biting on my arm let go and I stared at it as it jumped towards my face. I clenched my eyes shut waiting for the impact but never felt it. When I opened my eyes the monster seemed to be struggling beside me. It slowly turned from pitch black to pure white then exploded leaving a light shimmer where it exploded. The other two monsters had seem to get distracted so I took that opportunity to try to crawl away with my good arm. I started to crawl and accidentally grabbed the monsters attention again. One tried to pounce on me but just as it was about to some sort of white light shot out from behind some trees and hit it. It began to struggle like the first one and then the third one got hit with the light as well. I stared at them as the last two struggled and then turned white and exploded leaving little shimmers where they were standing. I stumbled as I sat up a bit. Another rustle came from the trees and I shook in fear. What if the person wasn't really helping me? What if its another monster? What if its worse? I stared in the direction of the rustle and watched what came out. It was a guy. He had white hair and red and green eyes (one red and one green, not mixed). He approached me and smiled.

"Are you ok Miyako?" He knew my name. How?
