Chapter 37: City of Dreams

I was thinking of posting this on my birthday which was yesterday but my family didn't give me much room for peace to finish this. So anyway, I'm late. I'm sorry. Whatever.

Lu: Lies. Author forgot about Wattpad.

Yo: I'm sorry!

I've gotta find a way to progress this further. I'm trying my best to get them through the floors but this is getting more difficult. Writing...

Bluerogers: Even though your review was a death threat to continue, it was nice that I got something from someone prompting me to continue. Thanks.

Chapter 37: The City of Dreams

-x-

Lily floated in an endless expanse of water. She knew she was dreaming and she knew why she passed out. Strange thing about her dreams was that she could talk to her personalities in her dreams. It was a pretty messed up way of lucid dreaming. Something was off though.

Natsumi (Atsui), Fuyumi (Samui) and Aki were gone.

She was about to call out to them but choked remembering she was underwater. She swam up and inhaled sharply.

Parts of the water was on fire though. Flames endlessly burning but dying out at the same time. She didn't want the flames to die though. She swam to a fire as it became a little flame. Everything became cold when the fires died out and it was a small flame in her hands.

It went out. Something was coming.

Something big approaching from the water beneath her. She looked underwater but saw nothing. A shadow came to view from within the deep, expanding the closer it got. Lily panicked.

She started swimming away. "Natsumi! Fuyumi! Aki! Help me!" Faster she swan. She shadow was approaching. Getting closer.

"Somebody please!" The surface of the water started shaking rapidly as the shadow was near the surface. It was going to attack her. She knew it would. She had no control over this nightmare. She couldn't wake up either. "Kizuna!" she called out unconsciously but the jaws of the shadow shut around her and everything faded to black.

The screams of a friend was heard in the darkness

As a sharp red line split into two.

Lily awoke with a sharp gasp and started hyperventilating. She felt Kizuna's hand on her shoulder and saw everyone looked worried. "You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah. I-I'm fine," Lily lied. She was still shaking.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Tsukino asked. Lily shook her head.

"Well, try take your mind off it, we're here," Lumino said.

The party stared in awe at the great city. They could only imagine what it looked like at night. "Alright!" Lumino cheered as the boat approached the docks.
