Astro and Wonderman: (The Adventures of Team Pixie) Book 9: The Book of Secrets

The storm of Darkness

(Jason's point of view)

She was asleep now but her words replayed in my head. That she loved me as well. I was still processing this as I watched her as she slept. Maybe we could work out but she just needed time.

I looked at Jake and honestly I thought he was an angel in disguise.

I smiled and thought maybe all she needed was time to adjust first before we did anything serious. After all she didn't seem to be ready for it. 

I sat her on her bed and I smiled one more time as I closed the door behind me. Suddenly I got a bad feeling in my stomach then. I didn't know why, I just felt like something was coming this way.

I looked downstairs towards Jake and thought I saw a girl in the room looking at Jake as if they had evil intentions. I blinked and it was gone.

"What......was that?" I asked getting uneasy now.

Jake was still sleeping peacefully though. I decided to stay in the living room. I could hear Pixie in case she needed me and I was with Jake just in case that was more of a vision. With this family you never knew.

(Pixie's point of view)

(Dream scene)

I was walking around a peaceful looking area. I didn't know why but despite my surroundings I felt a really uneasy feeling.

I kept looking around to find the source of my uneasiness but I couldn't find anything until the scene changed.

Suddenly I saw what looked like the dungeon of a castle along with laughing behind me. The power behind her was something I never felt.

I looked behind me and her face resembled Darkness but there was no way she could be. Could she?

"Darkness?" I asked.

She only continued to laugh and suddenly she had Jake in her hand.

My heart picked up pace and I yelled "Don't you dare touch him!"

"Be careful what you wish for dear Pixie. I remember a time when you simply didn't want this. Let this be a lesson to you" the figure said.

I started to run to save Jake but she simply made it to where I couldn't move.

She laughed then as she dropped Jake to the ground. She also used her magic on him and his blood spread out on the ground. Her foot then went on his head.

Her face looked mad then. "Why are you so upset now, hmm?" The figure asked.

I was able to move now and I lost strength in my legs and fell to the ground crying for a while.

The figure just continued laughing though.

When the shock wore off from losing Jake I looked at Darkness with a face that had no expression on it but pure anger and hate.

"You monster! How could you!" I yelled at her.

"I'm just doing my job. You didn't deserve him anyway considering you weren't much of a mother" the creature began.

"Shut up!" I screamed at the creature.

Then I shortly woke up.

Jason was up here with Jake then.

"Jake" I said looking at him and noticed that he was breathing normally.

I sighed a breath of relief.

"You okay, Pixie?" Jason asked.

"I just had a dream. There was this thing that killed him and all I could do was watch. She made me to where I couldn't move. It felt so real..." I told Jason.
