When You Realise It's Real

Chapter 13

"T h a t ' s n o w a y t o g r e e t a n e w p a l.T u r n a r o u n d a n d s h a k e m y h a n d."

The child,no longer afraid,turned around and shook the stranger's hand.The child knew what was going to happen.

The fart noise echoed around the snowy forest.

" whoopee cushion in the hand trick.always funny.i'm sans,sans the skeleton."

And so you are. The child thought. I've done this before.I've played this game.

------------------------

Lukas and I repaired the temple by nightfall.No way were monsters going to get in there.

There was a room with a bunch of beds in it.Bedroom.

We both rested on a bed,but it was hard to sleep with:

1.The guilt of letting down both Rory and Petra

2.The dread of the Witherstorm coming and

3.My brain repeating on song that got on my nerves

I know a song that'll get on your nerves,get on your nerves,get on your nerves,I know a song that'll get on your nerves and it goes like this...

So I just lay there,blocky hands on a blocky stomach.At least there was no school,eh?

Rory could come back when Gabriel did.Becuase Gabriel probably would.

But would Rory have withersickness,too?Would he be slowly dying,always in pain?That would be my fault,wouldn't it?

Until he came back-he would come-I would have to do my best.For Rory.My best (and only) friend.

These thoughts slowly put me to sleep.

--------------------

Someone was calling me.

Who?

The voice was so familiar.

"Aza...Aza...Aza Wild?"

I tried to open my mouth,to ask who it was,but my mouth was too heavy.

There was a white mist everywhere.I couldn't even see my own body.

"Hello?Aza?"

There was a small figure in the distance.Two green,glowing eyes stared at me.A tail flicked from side to side.Irritated?

"You can hear me,can't you?I couldn't reach Rory Hunter,so I thought I'd try you."It was the figure,the animal,that was speaking."I'm amazed at the power StarClan is capable of giving."

My dream mind was slow,hardly able to figure out what was happening.

"I'm Tessa.You know,from school?I'm called Frostwish now.StarClan sensed the strange ripple in the world.I couldn't explain StarClan to you now,there's not a lot of time.There are other kids,too.You are the closest to our old dimension,so you are the only one who can hear me.I know you can."

Hmm...

Hmm...

Hmm...

"The only information I have on the other kids is that they are in different dimensions in small groups.Four others where I am,four in some other dimension to do with dragons,one in a dimension I can only decipher as underground,two in some wolf dimension and two in a...um...maybe a Pokèmon dimension?"
