Jayden's awesome younger sister

Chapter 12 Ariel's illusion

It's the next day and I decided to go back to my house to visit my family. When I got there I found out that they went to the store. I decided to come back another day. I went back to the foster home. Later that night I had a weird dream. In my dream I was fighting one of Decker's followers by myself when my brother came and saved me from getting hurt really bad or even worse, killed. Then he showed me what could happen if I continue to fight Decker's followers by myself. The illusion was me getting hurt really bad and fading away. "No, that can't happen." I said. "That might happen if you continue to fight Decker's followers by yourself." Jayden said. "No, you're lying." I said.

After that part John came into my room and woke me up. "Are you okay? You were saying some weird things in your sleep." John said. "Yeah, I just had a wild dream." I said. "Wait, this dream of yours was not just a dream, wasn't it?" John asked. "I don't know." I said. "Was it a glimpse into the future?" John asked. "I really don't know." I said. "Look, if you end up fighting them alone, you might get hurt really bad and possibly fade away, if that's even possible to do. I won't let them hurt me." John said. "But what if you get hurt by them or even worse, killed?" I asked. "If they kill me just remember that I will always be with you in spirit." John said. The next day I went out for a run to clear my head from last night's dream. I don't know why I had that dream but maybe it was a glimpse into the future. The weirdest thing about that dream was that it felt so real. I went back to the foster home. I met with John later that day at lunchtime. We ate lunch outside because it was nice outside. Not too hot and not too cold, no clouds in the sky. It was perfect. As we ate lunch I told him that the dream I had felt so real. "Maybe it wasn't a dream. It's possible that it's a glimpse into the future." He said. "I know, but..." I began before going silent. "But what?" John asked. "What if I try to protect you from getting hurt and all I do is get hurt really bad and somehow go into a coma?" I asked. I really never thought about being in a coma and I didn't quite understand what it is like to be in a coma. "It's kinda complicated to explain but to keep it short and simple, let's just say it's like being in a deep sleep for a prolonged period of time." John said. "Oh, okay. So, about that glimpse into the future, do you think it will happen to me, like the whole me fighting Decker's followers by myself thing?" I asked. "If you decide to do that. I wouldn't suggest it though, eventhough his followers must be destroyed." John said. "Well, what if I am outside and one of his followers ends up attacking me and I fight back?" I said. "Then you would have to either fight him or her off or destroy them. It would be like taking his followers down one by one." John said. "Even if I could destroy his followers I still could be put into a coma." I said. After lunch a few friends and I went outside to play kickball. I was great at running around the bases but I had a harder time with kicking the ball. Since I couldn't quite kick it they made the exception of putting the ball on home plate so that I can kick it. (It was like that in fifth grade for me when all of the fifth grade classes were doing a kickball tournament.) I have always loved kickball. It was one of my favorite things to do during my spare time. The next day I was playing with a few friends. They had a huge backyard. We saw a few groups of kids playing different games like frogger.

There was another group of kids playing knights and dragons.

My friends and I played D-O-W-N. "D-O-W-N and that's the way to get down. D-O-W-N and that's the way to get down." All of us said. "Hey Virginia." I said. "Hey what." Virginia said. "Hey Virginia." I said. "Hey what." Virginia said. "Show us how you get down." The rest of us said. "No way." Virginia said. "Show us how you get down." The rest of us said. "Okay." Virginia said. The rest of us said "D-O-W-N and that's the way to get down." We repeated what Virginia did while saying "D-O-W-N and that's the way to get down." We all got to show each other how we got down. After that we played dead cow with some of the other kids.

Virginia was the farmer and the rest of us were the cows. The only rule is that the farmer can't touch the cows. The last cow to laugh becomes the new farmer. Who ever laughed got to be a farmer with the person who was originally the farmer. It was so much fun. Then all of us went back into the house. That night for dinner we had shrimp scampi. Shrimp scampi was one of my favorite dishes for dinner. I usually got it whenever my family went to a Japanese steakhouse for dinner. After dinner I was doing some yoga with Virginia, John, and Alyssa. The reason for that was because Virginia, John, Alyssa, and I have been getting a little bit stressed out. Yoga helps to relieve stress. Later that night, right before I went to bed, I got the same glimpse into the future that I had the night before. The next day my friends and I played wa and kumja.

Virginia loved those games. So did John and Ryan. Later that day I told John about the illusion that I have been getting lately. He said that it was a glimpse into the future. "A glimpse into the future?" I asked. "Remember when Emma got a glimpse into the future in once upon a time?" John asked. "Oh, yeah, I remember that." I said. The next day I was looking for something in the foster home when I got the vision again. John came over to me to see if I was okay.
