The Dream Bender, Book one; Finding Yasmine

Book 1: Air~ Chapter 2: The motive part 2

"Yuki! I know your clever and all but don't ever trust Yumi. That woman is a liar and she's super evil. I know you probably don't hear me, but I'm getting better at my Ice bending. Specifically my cryokinesis. (Type of one of the other types of ice bending, where as in this one it kinds of lives up to its name. The psychic ability to control and create ice and cold temperatures. Controlling ice and snow, and other other forms of frozen water.) Once I get better I'll be able to get out of this place one and for all! See you soon sis!" 

Me and Yumi are just staring at each other. She still has that smirk on there face I can't wait to knock off. She has her hands on her hips just acting like she's all high and mighty. I mean I know she has the upper hand right now since I don't know what other powers she has. She raises an eyebrow and walks over to me. "Don't believe me?" I mean I only believe her when she said she was there when the accident happened, I don't believe she was there a week before. She just winks and then suddenly I feel my vision going blurry and then then my eyes shoot open. "She's awake!" The guy who broke the news was there sitting on one of the chairs at the dinner table and I was laying on the couch. A lady, maybe in her early thirties walks over and clasps her hands. "Great!" I assume she's a doctor because she has one of those bracelets, that you only get when you decide to take the career of a doctor or something similar to medical jobs after you graduate from Bending school. She sits on the couch near me and puts one of her hands on my shoulder. "So how are you feeling?" I get up and put my legs down off the couch. I shrugged, I oddly feel fine. "I'm okay.." Her bright green eyes shimmer from the light hanging above us. Now that I see her more clearly I can fully see what she looks like. She has long black hair pulled into a ponytail and natural makeup on, with the exception of a type of dark red lipstick on. She has small bags under her eyes but seems cheerful and energetic. Her skin had a warm undertone too it.

"That's good." She nods her head respectively. She sighs and takes a moment as deciding to think about her words more carefully. "Well I'm glad your fine. But um, please tell me the reason you passed out." She smiles and that makes me want to spill every little detail of all the good things down to know of my life. So do I just drop the bomb on her and say my parents died? She looks at me with patience and seems like she'll wait hours until I talk. I swallow and take a deep breath. "M-My parents died." Her face turns to utter happiness to utter worry. I was trying to sound less sad and more calm. But it ended up coming out shaking and sounded like I was about to cry. She opens up her arms indicating for me to hug and her and I do. I collapse in her arms, then I felt the blurriness over come me once more, than darkness. Oh no, not again. I know I said before that I wanted to stay there, but I'll miss civilization. I open my eyes and instead of laying down feeling paralyzed on the floor, I was sitting up straight, leaving off from last time. Then Yumi appeared again. "Great your back!" She claps her hands and walks closer to me, then crouches. "You don't think you can get away from me do you?" I roll my eyes at her ignorance, honestly even know she's annoying I need to know more about her and this place. I know it's not just where you go when you pass out. Yumi pushes back a lock of her gray strand of hair behind her ear and just smirks. That smirk, that evil smirk I hate. "I guess I'll explain a little bit more." She says out of nowhere while getting up walking a few steps backwards. "I'm basically you, but a more.. Let's say less hard headed and naive." I just grunt in response. I am not neither of those, and I knew there was something going on with the similar name.

I should be more surprised, but for some reason I feel relieved. Is it because I finally found out? Or that i have someone to relate too, kind of. Doesn't mean I trust her or like her though. She just looks at me expecting me to say something in response to what she just said but I just look at her. I honestly don't know what to say to her. She just sighs and runs her hands in her hair. "Okay let's see what else I can say." I hope she finally tells me what type of Bender she is, I was never clear on that. She clears her throat and opens her mouth to talk but stops herself. She then looks me into my eye and does her old smirk. "Listen carefully when I say this." She walks over to me then and puts her hands under my chin. "I'm just like you, a Dream Bender. I was 2 times shocked then when she said she was there a week before the incident. But before with the kid, it didn't look like she enjoyed the dream. "Well I'm a different type of Dream Bender, specifically a Nightmare Bender." She grins and it looks like she's proud of that. Yes of course she is, one of the  types of Dream Bending. Why didn't I notice that before, I guess I was to interested in who she really is. She gets up and does a does a backflip. "Surprising isn't it?" She says as she kept backflipping. Yes I was surprised. Then I felt my self getting pulled back, wait I wanted to know more. "Wait! You didn't answer my other questions!" Then it happened again it went all blurry and then my eyes shot open again. The doctor was rubbing my back and hugging me warmly. This reminds me of the time I hugged my parents, it was a warm summer day and we were all sitting on the couch, Yasmine there too, we were doing our daily Thursday movie marathon.

I smile at the faint memory, maybe later I could make myself a dream to live that moment over and over again. Even know I'm still practicing that part of my bending. We stay like that for a few more moments until she looks me into the eye and wipes a lock a strand of white hair from my face. "You could come live with me and my husband if you want. We always wanted a child of our own." I did a small smile, yes I didn't want to live by myself but I needed to. I need to be alone to practice my Bending. Yeah I could ask Sensai Ayoshi, but I don't want to bother him with my problems. I'm going to find my sister even if she dead or alive. But I do hope she's alive though, safe and healthy wherever she is. The doctor awaited for my answer and when I was about to explain to her my plan I looked at her name tag, "Esmerelda Nakamura." I don't know why but that name kind of sounded familiar. I took a deep breath and told Ms. Nakamura. "Well Ms. Nakamura-" Before I could finish my sentence she raised an eyebrow and started to giggle. "Oh, Ms. Nakamura. Just call me Esmerelda dear." I just clear my throat trying to clear the atmosphere. "Well, Esmerelda. I think I'm going to stay here, Alone. I don't know what was so shocking about my words because next she puts her hand over her heart and looks like she seen a ghost or something. "What's wrong?" I ask clearly curious and a little aggravated she wouldn't spit it out after a minute.

She then puts out one shaky finger and points at my eyes? I believe. I get up and go the the mirror by the tv. I was about to say "What's wrong with my eyes?" Then I really looked. My eyes, were both purple. The same shade of purple Yumi had, she didn't have something to do with this did she? Oh when I find that girl- before I even I had time to finish my thought Esmerelda got up abruptly. "I have to go, I'm sorry for your lost." The old guy that was just sitting there silently got up and nodded at me. "Sorry for your lost, now take care of yourself and don't get into any trouble." They both waved and I just went back to staring at my now purple eyes. The door closes and I go to close it. Not before I heard a voice. "Hello." The person voice sounded soft but sharp. I turn around and see it's a girl about my age. She has slanted eyes and the same colored purple eyes as me. Her black sleek  hair was half has long as her kimono. I started for a few seconds before finally answering. "Who are you?" Her eyes started straight at mines, she seemed has she didn't have no emotions. "My name is Haruna Seraphina." She says it quick and clearly. She has a weird but beautiful name. "How did you get in here without making noise?" She then jumps high and surprises me then lands on her feet with no mistake. "Quick as a cheetah and sly as fox." I quirk an eyebrow confused by that sentence. "I'm here to help you find your sister."
