Distant Dreams

Serge realized that he was not moving his body, he was moving it be himself. `Who are these people' he thought as he stared at a blond-haired blue-eyed girl, and a blond-haired green-eyed boy wielding two sharp swords as the girl finished off the cat demi-human with a swipe of her dagger. Unknown to the teenagers but the cat-man was smiling, he knew he had this won.

Serge looked around the dim room, only lit up by 6 dragon statues giving off a glow, each one a different color of the 6 elements. There in the center of the circular room stood a pedestal with a grapefruit-sized gem giving off an eerie blue glow sitting on top. `Is this the Frozen Flame? If it is I pictured it looking much different.' He took a couple steps forward to the gem.

"What are ya doing mate?" the girl asked.

`Who is she and why am I staring at this blue thing?' All of a sudden he felt a sharp pain race through his head. `I can't talk or do anything! What the hell is happening?!' he asked his self grabbing his head in his hands and falling to his knees.

"Serge!" the two teenagers yelled in unison. `It feels like I'm being torn in two!'

He found himself lying on the cold, metal floor looking at himself and the other teenagers? His not controlled eyes wandered down to his hands. `My hands! The-they're paws covered in fur!'

"Go! Kill him, you've been waiting for this moment a long time! Now!" he heard his evil self shout.

The blond-haired girl took out her dagger and held it over the cat-man's body that was now Serge's. Serge saw so much uncertainty in her cerulean eyes. `Please don't let her kill me, I'm not the cat-man!' he repeated to his throbbing head. She just stood there.

"Hurry up! This is your chance!! Now or never!!" the evil version of Serge shouted.

"I-I can't." she stuttered.

"Well if you're not going to I might as well!" he yelled at her. He lunged for her dagger and grabbed it from her trembling hands.

"Yer not Serge!" she yelled in half fear, half anger.

He moved quickly toward her and it seemed like he was hugging her, then slid the dagger into her gut. She stood there, her eyes giving him a painful glare as her life was trickling out of her. Serge was surprised she didn't scream, she just looked at him. The cat-man in Serge's body just grinned while slowly and painfully pulled the dagger out and stared at the crimson blood pleased. The girl gently fell to the ground.

`Why am I this angry with this guy? I have never been this angry in my life! I have never even seen her before but she seems so familiar, who is she!?" he thought to himself as he felt fire run through his blood and heard a deep growl come from his mouth uncontrolled.

"HELLO SLEEPYHEAD!!" Serge rolled over in his bed confused and realized all that was just a dream. `It all seemed so real, it couldn't of been a dream. In dreams you shouldn't feel pai-` "SERGE!"

He opened his eyes looking at a blurry picture of a very pissed off mom. `I'm in for it now…' He wished she would just leave so he could think about his most recent dream about the blond-haired girl.

"I have been yelling at you to get up for 30 minutes!! You were ignoring me weren't you!? Remember your promise you made to Leena today?! You told her you would do all in your power to get up and not blow her off AGAIN!!" she thundered. `I don't give a damn about Leena, she's just an annoying little village girl who's obsessed with Komodo dragon scales!' Serge did his best to keep from yelling that aloud to his mother.

"NOWW!! She screamed. That shocked Serge and made him jump out of his bed, practically throw on his shorts and shirt, grab his Sea Swallow by the door and make a beeline toward the docks.

Now walking quickly to the docks, he took his one minute alone and thought about his newest dream. `Ever since I passed out that day on Opassa with Leena 2

His metal-toed boots clicked on the warped wood of the dock and in an instant Leena spun around on the other end. She walked up to him with her hands on her hips and a very angry expression on her face.

"Serge! I have argued to many times with you and I can't believe how lazy you are! A simple request of waking up BEFORE 11am and meeting me here and somehow you just can't do that! I wanted to have a nice breakfast with you but you turned up at lunchtime so now you have to get me two more Komodo scales for my necklace!! If you argue with me I will be forced to consult your mother, then you'll really get it, UNDERSTOOD!?

He turned around and started walking. "I'll get those scales, just shut-up please. I've had enough yelling today." He said gritting his teeth.

Walking out of the village, he had the feeling he was being followed. He turned around and saw his newly adopted 10-year-old sister, Sena. "Hey Sena, what are you doing, I'm going to get Komodo scales for Leena?" he said trying not to show his anger at Leena to his little sister.

"Can I come?! I won't get in the way, I promise! Pretty pleeease??" She begged with puppy dog eyes.

"Well I don't know, it's dangerous for you down there. Do you have your Bone Gloves? He asked, Serge loved his new sister and would not be able to stand it if anything happened to her.

"Why would I need them? I can take on 20 dragons with my bare hands! I think you need ME to protect you! But just in case ya I brought them. ::heehee::"

"Well then we're off!" Serge stated cheerfully.

They walked around Lizard Rock searching for baby dragons. It was harder catching the Komodo pups then actually fighting them. Serge caught to and killed both of them with one strike. He gathered the metallic-rainbow shells and headed over to Sena. She had caught one too, but it took her much longer than it did Serge. He looked over the reef and saw that she had found a mama one by accident and it didn't look like she was winning.

She sat on her knees gasping for breath then tightly shut her eyes when she saw an Aqua Beam coming to finish her off. She waited for it but it never came. Serge had took his Swallow and reflected it back to the dragon then swung his Swallow and made a deep gash in the monster's throat and it dropped to the ground in instant death.

"That's why I am afraid of you coming here." He said casting a CureAll on her bruised and scraped body.

"I'm really sorry Sergie but I didn't mean to run into a mama Komodo dragon. Thanks sooo much for saving me!" She replied running to the glistening scale.

She picked it up and examined it. "Oh wow, this one's much prettier than regular ones!" She handed the beautiful scale to Serge.

He grabbed it and took a piece of string and put the 3 scales on it, the big, shiny one in the middle and tied it into a necklace. He slid it over Sena's head. "Here you go Sena, it's a gift from me to you. Leena is gonna scream her head off at me for this but you deserve it more. Let's go home, I think a storm is coming." He said looking at the gray dull sky. He scooped her up in his arms and started to run as it began to drizzle steadily than gradually got heavier and faster. Lizard rock was known to flood when it rained hard out.
