The Test Subject : A Detective Conan Fanfiction

8 The Dream

Ellie's POV

I awoke with a start. For a second, I forgot where I was, what had happened. It all come back. I looked around me. It was still dark out. Zi zi was gone, and so was the pillow and blanket. I put my hoodie back on, and pulled the hood over my face. It was colder then when I fell asleep...

I looked up. The stars were hiding now, but the moon was out. I had a light red glow to it. A chill shivered down my spine.

Wondering where Zi zi had run off to, I stood to search the park. A gust of wind knocked me forward, face planting into the grass. I rubbed my head a bit and looked up to see a dark cloaked figure standing over me. Trembling, I stood before the person.

"Why do you tremble?" asked a silky-smooth voice. "Do you not recognize me? I am the one who brought you to this world..."

I did recognize the voice, but just like before I saw Conan and Haibara... Who is this woman?

"...I thought you would figure it out by now..."

There was a long pause. Could this be KID toying with me...? No... why would he?

"Would like a little hint... Sophie?"

HOW DID SHE KNOW MY NAME?!?!?! Panic overwhelmed me.

"Yes, I know your name." She said, as if she could read my thoughts. "Would you prefer me calling you Ellie?" the part of the cloak where her head should be turned the other direction, as if worried something would happen. She looked at me again. "I suppose your wondering why I brought you to this world... "

Hesitant, I nodded.

The woman lowered her hood, revealing her pale face and blueish-blackish hair... Akako...

She gave a creepy giggle as an equally creepy grin spread across her face. "You look so cute!" My jaw dropped. That was... out of character...

Akako frowned."Oh, don't look at me like that! I can leave this dream, and then you'll never know your purpose here!" So this was a dream? I sighed a small breath of relief... I don't know why, but that felt a bit conferring.

"Ok, so why am I here?"

"Well..." Akako gave that evil smile again. She raised her arms and shouted some magic nonsense. The ground beneath us began to tremble. I closed my eyes and screamed as it began to disappear into an ever-growing pit. I tumbled into the teenage witch and held on to her cloak for dear life.

A moment later, it all stopped. I felt her pointy fingernails run down my spine, sending a chill to the rest of my body. And then they just vanished. I slowly opened my eyes to see the cloak in my hands but no body in the cloak. I dropped the cloak and jumped back, falling to my knees. I looked down.

My body felt just air, yet I was hovering above the ditch as if solid ground was there. Terror in my eyes, scanned the park in hopes to see Akako. I couldn't spot her any where.

Out of the blue, her voice rang into my ear. It echoed a little. "Your resent past is bellow..." I looked down. Mist began to pour out the edges of the endless hole. From where I sat, a rip of red light emerged and spread across the ground.

It was faded at first, but something appeared from within the blackness. It was Akako, in her witch ritual clothes. She was walking down a dark empty hall way, towards what looked like a crystal ball. She and the ball talked for a while, about getting KID under her spell of course, And then the ball said something surprising...

"Lady Akako, In the near future, I see you may no longer have the chance to catch this thief..."

"Oh, really? Tell me more..."
