WORK IN PROGRESS River ~Chronicle Of The Spirits

10.

I wake up.

With opening my eyes I recognize the ceiling above me and the all to familiar scent of home.

"Home..."

I sit up immediately and eye my room.
It looks just as like I had left it.

"What happened...?
Logan, James, Isabelle and Feycal...
Are they real? Was it just a dream or did this really happen?
It was just too real to be fake...
Or it was a really weird dream."

I look at the ground and let out a deep sigh before looking straight again.

"Probably just a dream..."

With that I stand up to make myself ready for school.

I hear how something falls to the ground when I stand up.

Tong

I look at the ground and bend down to lift the black thing.

"It's a...
it's ...
Ah damn it.

It's the black crystal?!
This is true?
But...what is..."

I eye my hand which is holding the crystal.
There is something written on my palm.

Hey River,
This is Logan and NO it's not a dream.
I hope you slept well.
If you need anything, my number is saved in your phone, just in case.
I will keep an eye on you.

I will see you soon :)

Greetings
Logan

"Uh... Okay NOT a dream then...
But honestly... with all the amount ofpaper in the world and in my room... Who the heck is writing a message on somebody's palm and drawing a smiley on it, too? And how did he unlock my phone?!" I whisper to myself.

"Well... Damn ninjas."

I grab my phone to search for his contact.
"There he is. Well I think it's him."
He saved himself as L.
I continue scrolling down to see another unfamiliar contact.
"Who is Ninja Banana ?"
I stare at the screen for a couple of minutes until I got a suspicion.
Logan told me once that he always patrols with someone who is a moron at times and can be really clumsy.
It's that guy who ran screaming in the living room while I and the Elder were talking about that book...

"James, you are an idiot."
I chuckle slightly.

With that I pack my bag for school and change into more comfortable clothes and head out.
