(Ty's POV)

I sat back in my hospital bed, and sighed.

"Why does this type of stuff always happen to me?" I said, looking at my leg. I heard a knock on my door, and a nurse walked in with a walker.

"General Ty?"

"Yes?" I asked.

"Time for some exercise. We don't want anything bad to happen in that leg of yours." She said. I nodded. I took her hand and slowly made my way to my feet, wincing a little bit at the pain.

"I know it hurts, general, but you must walk." The nurse said, opening the door. I nodded, and started walking. We walked through the long hallways, having to take a small break every so often. We soon made it back to the hospital room, and the nurse helped me back into my bed.

"You'll be doing that everyday for the next week, ok?"

I nodded. She grabbed the walker, and then left the room. I laid my head back on my pillow, and closed my eyes. Before I even knew it, I was in a dream.

I was in a dark room, my hands behind my back, my head lowered. I could hear the steady footsteps of a person approaching me.

"Hello Tyler."

I looked up, and saw Sky standing above me. He looked down on me, smiling.

"S-Sky?" I said, my voice cracking. This wasn't the Sky I knew. There was something different about him, something off.

"You know Tyler, I have always wondered why you wear these headphones." He said, picking them up off my head. He examined them, closely. I looked at him nervously. I instantly knew something was wrong with this Sky.

"It sure would be a shame if these got broken, wouldn't it Tyler?" Sky said, smirking at me. My eyes grew wide.

"Sky...Sky no...."

Sky dropped them to the ground, and they landed with a sickly crash. I instantly started screaming, my insides feeling like they were being torn up. The Sky in my dream cackled evilly. I looked up at him through my teary eyes, and saw strange, long tentacles starting to grow from Sky's back. I gasped.

"I'm coming Tyler." The evil Sky said to me. My eyes grew wide, and I heard a scream.

I didn't even realized I was sitting upright in my bed, and screaming. A nurse ran in, and looked at me. Her eyes grew wide, and she ran out of the room. I wrapped my arms around myself and screamed again. I didn't know why I was screaming, but I was. My eyes darted around the room as images of the dream I had flashed in my mind. I grabbed my head, trying to get the images out of my mind.

"Ty? Ty!"

I turned my head to the door, where Sky was standing. My eyes were glossy with forming tears. Sky ran to my side, and hugged me. I couldn't bear holding back my tears any longer. I started crying, holding Sky by the arm.

"General Sky? May we see you for a moment?" A doctor asked, poking his head into the room. Sky looked at me, and then nodded.

"I'll be back in just a second."

I let go if his arm slowly, and my arms instantly wrapped back around myself. Sky closed the door, and I was all alone again.

What's happening to me. Why did I see that creature. Why did it say it was coming for me? Why....

"I'm not letting you take him to a mental hospital! He's fine!" I heard Sky shout from the hallway. My eyes grew wide. They wanted to put me in a mental hospital. They think I'm crazy. Koo-koo. Bezirk.

"I'm sorry General, but he's in no fit condition to stay here. He may be a risk to the other patients here." I heard the doctor say. I looked at my hands.

I am unsafe. Im a danger to people.

"He isn't dangerous! I won't allow you to take him to a place like that!"

The door opened, and Sky walked back in, clearly upset.

"I'm not letting them out you in a stupid mental hospital." He said, sitting next to me. I said nothing. I just kept looking at my hands.

"Ty?"

"I'm...I'm a danger..." I said worriedly.

"No Ty. Your not a danger." Sky said firmly. He put his arm around my shoulders.

"You are perfect. And nothing is gonna change that."

I looked at him. I gave a weak smile, and laid my head against his shoulder. I closed my eyes, and started to fall asleep.

(Sky's POV)

That doctor has no idea what he is talking about. Ty isn't dangerous. Ty isn't psychotic. He's just a normal human. I mean seriously. I'm sitting here right now with him, and he hasn't done anything dangerous to me.

"General Sky? We must ask you to leave now." The doctor said firmly. I looked at him.

"I'll only leave if you tell me you won't put Ty in a mental hospital." I said back to him.

"I'm sorry General, but I can't make any guarantees. If he is a danger, we must move him to a safer environment." The doctor said.

"Well then I'm sorry doctor, but your not getting me to leave."

"General. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I must force you to leave. I will try everything in my power not to move him, but if he does anything dangerous I am only following protocol."

I looked at Ty, who was now asleep on my shoulder. I looked at the doctor, and sighed.

"Fine."

I slowly moved him from my shoulder to the pillow, and stood up. I walked out of the room, and back to the palace, where they were currently serving dinner.

"Hey Sky!"

"What's up!"

"Hey everyone." I said, sitting down at the Leaders table. The rest of team crafted looked at me, and I looked at them, confused.

"Um...can I help you?"

"Sorry Sky, you just look kinda...stressed." Jerome said, biting into his steak.

"I am not stressed." I said, a little too firmly. They all looked at me. I sighed.

"Ok, so I'm a little stressed, big deal."

"But what are you stressed about Sky?" Jason asked, stabbing a few peas and putting them in his mouth.

"I guess just with what has happened recently. I mean, it isn't every day a recruit gets killed by some random kid."

"Some random kid SORCERER." Mitch said, cutting his porkchop.

"Ugh, I have already been over this with you Mitch. It can't be a sorcerer. There is only one sorcerer I know of, and anyway, there wasn't any footprints or handprints anywhere. It had to be something else." Ian said, looking at Mitch through his glasses. Mitch shrugged.

"Only answer I got for how quickly that kid disappeared."

I looked at my plate, and then at the rest of the group.

"I'm not really hungry. I'll see you guys later, ok?" I said. The rest of the table nodded, and went back to eating. I stood up, and walked out of the dining hall and straight to my room.

I sat down on my bed, and put my head in my hands.

I'm just frustrated. I'm frustrated because I don't understand.
