The Forgotton Stars

Chapter 6

Nicole was looking out her bedroom window looking up at the stars in the night sky. Do I really have to do this? She thought to herself. can't it just go back to normal?
Nicole looked at the necklace then sighed. "I don't think I'm ready for this."
Cloey looked over at her. "sure you are!" cloey reassured her. "your more adult-like than I am. We both know that. You'll probably be better at this than me."
Nicole blinked then yawned. "idk. Maybe, but I need some sleep. Tomorrow is Saturday. We have plenty of time to look for the other necklaces then." Her sister opened her mouth to protest but she said nothing. instead she got up and left with her head down. Nicole felt a rush of relief when her sister didn't say anything else. Nicole wanted to be alone with her thoughts. "damn it Nicole wake up! it's a dream...I know it's a dream" she couldn't believe that this was real. This had to be a dream...right? she looked out her window at the stars again." Saturn what do I do?" she asked but there was no answer and the stars and moon was starting to be covered by clouds.
She looked down at the neckless she was holding in her hand. You must wake the other warriors. Be brave. Go find the other necklaces and talk to the stars. They need you. Saturn's words echoed in her head. But why us? Nicole wondered desperately.

The next morning was a blur. Nicole woke up feeling sick and dizzy. It was probably because she was worried about their journey to find and awaken the other sky warriors. Nicole told herself it was just a dream and almost convinced herself it was until cloey came in her room and asked, "what time should we start looking?"
"I'm not sure..." Nicole admitted
"what about after lunch?" Cloey recommended.
"sure..." Nicole replied but she wasn't so sure about it.
All Nicole wanted to do is wake up from this dream, but she knew it wasn't a dream. She thought she couldn't go on with this bizarre adventure, but cloey on the other hand, was very excited for this. She wished that cloey could do this herself, but she knew cloey would need someone to watch over her because apparently, she doesn't believe in danger.
Nicole took a deep breath and tried to stay strong as she went to go find her sister. As she left her room, she saw her mom about to knock on her door.
"Hi, Nicole." Her mom's tone was serious. "what's been going on? You and cloey have been up to something. I know it"
Nicole had to think fast. Was she allowed to tell anyone? Would the stars hate her? Would her mom say? What would she do? Would she tell her dad? Her mind was rushing with so many questions she didn't even notice cloey standing next to her.
"were just setting up a surprise party for dad for Father's Day!" cloey said. Which was true. Father's Day was only 2 days away. Nicole felt a little jealousy that her sister thought of that more quickly instead of her." don't tell dad!" cloey added.
She hoped her mom would believe that. She was relieved when her mom laughed a little and said "heh I won't tell him don't worry"
Cloey looked over at Nicole and gave her a wink of satisfaction. Nicole smiled and said "honestly, we should leave now; now that we have the chance"
Cloeys eyes brightened "okay! Yay!"
Nicole felt anxiety run through her veins as cloey agreed then she shook her head and found her strength and said "okay, let's go."
