The Moonlarks

Dreams

I opened my eyes and sat up. I was in a fiery place, with glass walls and lava pouring down from the ceiling.

I tried to call out for help, but my voice didn't work. A dark figure approached me. It raised his hand, and my body stiffened. "Well well well." It said. "If it isn't the young telepath and her friends."

I was confused when he said, but then I turned my head and I could see my friends. Callan, Ryan, Robin, Sophie, Tam, Linh, Fitz, Biana, and Marella were all there.

"You can't defeat us" This time it's voice was everywhere, bouncing off the walls and coming back. "We will kill everyone you know and love" It continued. "Including the humans."

Then I wanted to punch it. It was the worst person or "thing" ever. If it ever TOUCHED any of my friends, I would kill it with my bare hands. It snapped its fingers and disappeared. Then the lava pools overflowed and surrounded us, filling up the glass room. The pain was unbearable, and I blacked out.

I woke up sweating, my phone was half under my pillow, one of my earbuds was tangled around my left arm, and the other one was still in my ear.

My blankets were all in a pile at the end of my bed, my hair was sticking up everywhere and frizzy from rubbing against the pillow from all the tossing and turning.

I slowly sat up, crawled to the end of the bed, and swung my legs over the side. My feet touched the ladder as I untangled myself from the silver earbuds. The wooden ladder felt cold when I climbed down it.

My feet were gently stomping against the wood floors, trudging over to the bathroom to just brush my hair a little bit, but it was still frizzy, so the ends looked golden in the light coming from the ceiling, contrasting with the darkness outside.

I threw on some black leggings and a random silver tunic with loose hanging sleeves. I decided to go to Ryan and Sophie to see if they had a dream, too. But I could tell just from looking outside that it was to early.

Something that scares me is big, open spaces, which is why I loved my old room, it was to small for anything to be in there.

I love my room now, but there were too many shadows and corners, even with the lights on, so I quickly and silently raced back over to my work desk, the one under my bed, and took my phone. I also took a blanket.

Then I went and snuggled in the blanket under the hanging dresses, and watched Azzyland on YouTube. After it got lighter, I put my phone and blanket back, and threw on some shoes.

I silently raced to Ryan's room in my socks, pulled him out of his bed, and brought him to Sophie's room. "Uuuuugh," Ryan whined. Sophie was already up when I knocked, and she was reading a book in her bed, also fully dressed.

"So did you guys have a dream last night about this fiery room with a perso-wait," I paused to examine the book Sophie was reading. "Is that my Order of the Phoenix book?" "Umm, yeeah...?" Sophie said, almost like a question.

"It's fine, I was wearing your boots with hidden pockets yesterday." I told her. "Feel free to take any of my Harry Potter books whenever you want. Anyway, did you guys have a weird nightmare last night?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm reading." Sophie confirmed, putting a paper bookmark in the book and tossing it gently onto the bedside table. "I couldn't fall back asleep."

"Yeah, I did have a dream like that too," Ryan agreed, "but I woke up at like midnight, so I went back to bed after like an hour."

"It is way too easy for you to fall asleep." Sophie grumbled to Ryan. I nodded in agreement. "Anyway, what did you guys' say."

I explained to Sophie and Ryan what mine said, and they said that they had different ones. For Sophie, it was mostly the same, except instead of saying, 'young Telepath' hers said, 'The Moonlark'. And Ryan's said, 'young Technopath'.

We decided that we should organize a meeting with everyone at Havenfield, so we hailed them and told them to.

The next day was slow, until the first person arrived for the meeting. When I heard a knock on the door, I rushed to the door and opened it. Tam, Linh, Biana, Callan, and Fitz were standing there. "Oh hey guys!" I said. "Come in, everyone will be here soon."

They shuffled inside, and sat on the couch. Edaline soon rushed in with mallowmelt, custard bursts, and rippleruffs. "Thank you Edaline" Callan thanked. "Oh, no problem!" She commented.

Soon, everyone was sitting in the living room, snacking on candy. I stood up. "Ok, so Sophie, Ryan and I called you here to ask you guys if you had a weird dream last night about a fiery room and a person." Everyone raised their hands.

Ryan stood up after that. "So we need to figure out who this was, and how we can find it." Everyone nodded their heads. "Dex, can you help me with an invention?" He asked. "Uuuuh sure" He replied.

"Sophie, can you contact Mr. Forkle and tell him to come?" "Sure" She replied. "Oh, and" I cut in. "Callan, Sophie, and Fitz, record your dreams and project them on projecting paper so we can look back on them." "Ok" Callan replied. Sophie gave a thumbs up, and Fitz nodded. "Ok everyone" Ryan started. "GO!"

Oof, this chapter is kinda short. Ryan wrote like most of it, (ok, maybe the whole chapter), but yeah, I just have writers block. Your welcome!
