CRYSTAL'S P.O.V

Dream

I run as fast as I can in the dark forrest trying to escape. Screams of pain and terror coming from all directions. I trip on a root making me roll down a little hill. I get on my knees breathing hard I glance up to see the man with the hood and the shadow again on the hill. I get to my feet and keep running as fast as I can go. I run into something making me fall to the ground with a loud thud.

"CHARLIE!!"
I cry hugging my boyfriend

"Crystal are you ok?!"

"NO NO IM NOT OK THIS SHADOW THING AND THAT MAN ARE CHASING ME AGAIN!!"

"Crystal what are you talking about?"

I look to see where I was running but, no one was there. I feel Charlie grip me tighter but, his hands felt different. I look up to see the Shadow I scream and try to run from it's grasp. It forces me down holding my arms behind my back. It uses it's other sharp claw to hold my head in place so I can't turn it.

I then see every one in chains, beaten, bruise, cut, whipped, and covered in blood. Tears flooded my face as one by one they get beaten more ripped them apart before me as tears my filled eyes. I then see Charlie turn come up.

"NO NO PLEASE!!"
I begged

They then sliced his stomach making him bleed more and cry out in agony.

"CHARLIE!!"
I scream

"No one can help you...."

Charlie then earns a punch to the face making him spit blood and some teeth out.
My tears began to slow down and I was released. I put my head down to were my hair covered my eyes. All I can hear is more screams from the Forrest and the people in front of me. The voices racking through my mind all to familiar.

"W-Why are y-you doing t-this?"
I can't help asking my voice cracking from the lump in my throat

"Because I want you to join me."
He states appearing I front of me lifting my head with his finger

Even so close to him I can't see his face how is that even possible?

"Why do you want me t-to join you?"

"My son needs a worthy bride."
He chuckles

I felt sick to my stomach his doing all this for his son?

"Plus your the most powerful person to live and I want that power on my side."

I hood my eyes

"Is that really smart to tell me?"

"Oh it is because you will join me just like your friend Daniel."

I glare at the man as he disappears leaving me in darkness. I get on my feet looking around scared for my life. the ground then begins to shake making my eyes widen in panic. Cracks erupt around me stream coming from the large cracks. Some open wider making me on a island surrounded by lava. I look around panicking my eyes landing on Emily, and Morgan standing before me smirking. Emily looking like a psycho killer and Morgan looks ready to kill anything in her way.

Chains then fly around my arms forcing me back on my knees. I pull on the chains trying my hardest to break free. Emily takes advantage of this and sends a swift kick to my stomach making me double over even on my knees. I gasp trying to gain air from getting the wind knocked out of me. I then get punched on my left cheek making me fall to the ground. I growl in annoyance not planning on giving up. I make myself get on my knees again and try leaping to escape but, again gets pulled down. I then feel something push into my stomach making cry out in pain. I look to my stomach seeing a long blade in it I look to see Emily using Morgan sword.

"IDIOT SHE NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE!"
Morgan yells shoving Morgan off me and pulling the blade out

I groan in pain this is the worst nightmare I will ever have. I look up to see that Houge has appeared as well. He walks up to me grabbing my chin squatting to make me look into his light blue eyes.

"Remember what I told you?"

"No."
I lie not wanting to hear this

"I care for you and I don't like seeing you hurt please just join us."

I spit some of the blood that was in my throat at his chest.

"GO.TO.HELL."
I say slowly

He chuckles at me attitude

"Sorry not happening sweetness."

"Sweetness? What the hell is up with guys liking me?"
I mutter under my breath

"We can't help that your beautiful."
He says getting dangerously close to my face

"Back off Houge were not done."
Emily hisses

"Yes we have to finish up before her spirits or friends wake her up."
Morgan says in a not catering voice

~To late for that bitch~
A innocent yet familiar sounding voice growls

I weakly look up feeling drained, sick, and in pain.
I see a girl with whitish grayish hair, she had blue eyes he looked so innocent. She wore a long gray dress that dragged on the floor.

-Now leave before we kill you.-
Another familiar voice says

I look to see a man with green hair, and green eyes. He wore a green jacket, black shirt, green jeans, and black sneakers.

"Kusa? Aisu?"
I croaked the sick feeling getting worse

-Yeah it's us kid deal with it-
He mutters as the others disappear

~it's hard to believe that they blocked is off.~
Aisu whispers to Kusa

The chains go back in the darkness and the black world turns into a green and gray one. I can't help but, fall to one side the sick feeling making my body go numb.

"You may have stopped me this time but, she will be mine...."
A weak voice says

-In your dreams-
Kusa says walking over to me

~Get out of here you freak.~
Aisu says also walking over to me

I grunt in pain my vision starting to get blurry.

-It's ok kid your gonna be ok.-

~your gonna wake up as soon as you lose all your vision.~

They say but, the the sound was weak my hearing growing weaker as well as my sight.

Dream end

I sit start up panting hard looking around scared. It seemed to be late at night still and the others were all asleep except for Amy who seems to be on look out. I hug my knees silently crying I hate sleeping.

"Crystal?"
A tired voice asked

I look behind me to see Charlie in the other Hammock I made.

"Are you ok?"

I shake my head in no

He gets out of his hammock and crawls into mine.

"What's wrong?"

"I h-had a-another n-n-nightmare...."
I stutter my voice cracking from my tears

"Shhhh it's ok I'm here now."
He hugs me patting my back trying to calm me down

I slowly began to calm down I wiped my tears away and hugged him back. I rested my head on his chest thinking of many things.

Why is it me?
Why do I have to me tormented?
Why-

"Crystal?"

I pause my thoughts and look up at Charlie. He had his eye full worry he seemed divested from the way I was crying.

"I'm sorry Charlie...."
I whisper my voice being so soft at the moment it could barely be heard

"Tell me what's going on....Please."

I sigh knowing if I don't say something then he'll just be hurt more.

"F-fine...."

He smiles softy looking at me ready to listen.

"Ok t-the man t-that k-killed my p-parents is h-haunting m-my dreams..."

His eyes widen

"And h-he isn't some f-f-figment of my i-imagination he's t-the real d-deal, and he wants m-me to join him."
I say trying not to stutter

"He wants you?"
He asked shocked

I nod on his chest

"And each dream gets worse and worse I see you guys d-die each time."

He remains silent for a moment helping me officially calm down closing my tired eyes.

"What does he look like any way?"

"I'm not sure he wears this hood but, even when I'm right in front of his face I can see him."

"Ok from now on your sleeping with me."
Charlie states

"No I don't want to be a bother to you."
I say getting pulling out of the hug

"You won't be a bother I just want to have you around me so I can get you out of your nightmare."

"If Kusa and Aisu can't what makes you think you can?" I snap rudely

I see a hurt express flash across his face making me regret my words. He then slowly turns to a curious look.

"Aisu?"

Oh right only Jon knows about her

"Yeah I found out how to talk to my other spirit."

He nods still a little hurt

I shake my head and kiss his cheek softly.

"I'm sorry your just trying to help me and I snapped on you I'm sorry."

He smiles and wraps his arm around me pulling me close again. He places his head on mine as my head lays on his chest again.

"No matter how much you snap on me even hate me I will always love you."

He soft words slowly sinks in making me smile. I don't deserve a man like him but, he always stays with me....im so lucky to have a sweet kind idiot like him.

I close my eyes tired when I began to her very light voices. It was really hard to hear what there saying. They sound familiar though two people I can tell.
I raise my head trying to hear them better disturbing Charlie in the process.

"You ok?"

"Yes I'm fine but, I hear voices."

I get out of Charlie grasp and use trees to make a small bridge from tree to tree. I signal him to come and we both make our way to the voices getting louder each second. I hide behind a branch to see to familiar blue haired boys. I tried getting a better look not realizing I just stepped off the branch I was on.

"EEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!!!!"
I scream falling into a bush alerting the two blue haired people and maybe the others from our camp

"Did you see that?!"
A younger voice says

"Yeah stay here."
The older voice says

I crawl backwards trying to get out of there view. I bump into something making me turn my head slowly to see the older familiar blue haired boy. Getting a closer look at him i realized why he looked so familiar.

"Hi Kei."
I say during a sheepish wave

"Well I found Crystal."
Kei states to his younger brother ken

I smile at them as Charlie jumps down from the tree. He looked at the two unimpressed he doesn't like them at all since Kei calls me sexy. I got up and dust my self off seeing the young Ken looking upset.

"That's was graceful."
Charlie jokes

I send him a death glare and switch my gaze to the young boy. I'm not sure why but, I hug the young boy taking him by surprise. I pull back to look down in the boy.

"Are you ok?"
I ask my eyes dancing with worry

He nods probably not used to being hugged. I let him go tearing at him worried for the poor blue haired boy.

"Any way why are you guys here?"
Charlie asked watching me

"We wanted to travel with you guys but, you took off to quickly for us to catch up."
Kei says also looking at his brother

I smile at the two the more the merry-

"No."
Charlie states crossing his arms

"And why not?"
Kei asked

"Because your just gonna flirt with all the girls."
Charlie growls

I roll my eyes jealously is a dangerous thing children don't let it get the best of you.

"They can come."
I say pulling the young boy softly

"WHAT?!"
Charlie yells

Kei smirks and follows me and Ken Charlie quickly comes after us.

"Why are you letting then stay with us?"
He asked annoyed

"Because they have no one else and the more the merrier."

I hear Kei chuckle at my fuming boyfriend.

"But there is some rules."
I say smirking

I look back at the the boys behind me before we can step on the camp site.

"The rules are
1) your not allowed to flirt with any one
2) try not to fight any one
3) no calling people nicknames like sexy or cutie or anything
4) stay away from the girls since we all have boyfriends unless it has a good reason behind it and that's it."
I say clapping my hands together

The two nod as Charlie stomps into camp. I smile while making a tree branch come down for me to climb on. I salute the two boys and go up to my little hammock. I see Charlie there not to happy I giggle at his pouting face.

"They won't cause any trouble don't worry."
I smile next to Charlie

He smiles back at me

"Yeah maybe it won't be so bad now let's get to bed."
He says

I shake my head as he pulls me next to him. My back facing him I soon hear light snoring but, I wasn't planning to sleep.

I quickly get up from Charlie grasp cleaning up our little camp sight. It's early in the morning the girls seem to be waking up before the boys not that it surprises me these boys are lazy. I began packing stuff when I smelt something good cooking like eggs. I look over to the fire I had put out to see Kei cooking eggs over it.

Why did he bring a frying pan?
I ignore it and continue cleaning soon the only left to clean up is the boys stuff beside Kei and Ken of course Ken was a big help cleaning. Kei finished making the last of the eggs for the rest of the boys who haven't woken up he smirks at me softly and I smile back.

I finish eating the plate of eggs he had given me an I clean up my plate at a nearby river. I felt a pair of eyes on me making me look up at a rock to see Ken there looking at me. I put my plate with the other pile of plates that were cleaned there and walk over to him.
I sit besides him and watch the fish in the water begin to swim again.

"Do you ever wish you didn't have your element?"
Ken asked staring at the fish

His question making look at him

"No why?"

He stays silent staring at the fish.
I let that question sink in again.
Why would I not want my abilities?

"I'm not sure why I just wanted to ask I wish I had a element of my own...."
He whispers

I feel bad for the young boy being different from others....Not to have an element I can't even image a life like that.

"If you had a element what would you want?"
I ask watching him watch the fish

"Probably water or fire..."

"Why?"

"Because fire I could use it more useful than some other elements and water could also be useful...."

I think this over they would be but, my plant element is very useful too.

"Each element is useful for different things."

"How?"

"Well think of lighting element it can help you sense storms, metal element to make stuff, fire element to make fire, water element to help clean or catch fish, light element to bring light in the darkness, air element to help clean the pollution, earth element to help the soil or make tunnels, the healing element to heal others, ice element to help make things cold, and my plant element like abilities to help make things grow."
I say smiling at the boy

He looks at me seeing my smile making him get a tiny smile. I guess him watching us use our elements changed the boy.

"But sometimes the element depends on your personality."

He looks at me confusion written all over his face.

"Well me my grass like abilities like me because I grow stronger when ever I'm pushed down, or my ice abilities I can be cold to people and mean."

-Well you got it kid-

~IM NOT MEAN OR COLD TO PEOPLE!!~

-yes you are to me especially-

~BECAUSE YOUR AN ASSHOLE WHO FORCED ME TO BE HIS BRIDE~
Aisu shrieks

'Wait he forced you to be his bride?'

~Yes to save your life dear~

-Better teach me with better respect or I'm gonna kick you out.-

~so your gonna kill Crystal?~

'NO no one is gonna kill me'

-only if she is a behaved bride...-

~YOUR SUCH A HYPOCRITE!!~

-And your not?-

~UGH WHY IN HELL DID I HAVE TO BE WITH YOU?!~

-Why are you asking hell were on earth and hell is a long way from here plus because I claimed you-

~SHUT UP!!~

I ignore the two annoying spirits and sigh in annoyance.

"I'm sorry if I'm annoying you..."

"NO NO NO YOUR NOT ITS MY SPIRITS THAT ARE!!"
I say trying to sound convincing

"Your spirits can talk?"

"To me that is since one wasn't my original spirit."

He looks at me like I'm crazy

"What do you mean?"

"Ok when I was born a dark spirit named Kusa went inside my body to control me. The other spirit in me had to fight him for a while making a war in my body. Almost killing me but, the other spirit called Aisu for ice made a deal with the spirit making them balance each other. So now Aisu is forced to love Kusa even though she doesn't because she is his bride I'm not sure if Kusa loves her though."
I explain

"For some reason I could hear Kusa but, not Aisu till a few days ago since I unlocked my ice element. But Kusa said my hair and eyes became green because I was becoming like him but now their still green except my hairs tips which you can tell is white."
I explain my best to not confuse him

He nods understanding

"Can I get a spirit?"

"I'm not sure....but of you really want one I promise to help you get one."
I say smiling putting my hand on his shoulder

"AAAAWWWWW SO CUTE!!!"
A female voice squeals

I grow an anime vein knowing who it was. I grab Ken quickly dodging a kick from the psycho path.

"Can you please leave me alone for once?"
I asked annoyed

"Sorry not happening."
Another female voice says

I jump back dodging another attack with Ken still in my arms. I looked at the two girls annoyed by there exists.

"Morgan Emily I'm really not in the mood for you guys today."
I say backing up

My backs hits something firm and hard I feel a cold breath on my neck. I turn quickly to come face to face with a blue skinned Houge. I attempt to kick him he dodges ready to attack again.

"Ken get help ok."
I whisper to him pushing him near the trees

"But I can help!"

"No go get help."
I say getting in fighting stands

"But-"

"NOW!!"
I yell tackling Emily before she can leap on him

He dashed into the forest in the direction of our camp sight. Me and Emily tumble for a while she stopped the roll in top of me. She grabs my neck strangling me but, is thrown off by a large branch.

"Sorry kiddies but, were in my playing field."
I say sending plants in all direction towards them

They kept dodging my attacks but, Houge slashed them with his sword. Me finding it amusing not realizing the presence of another person behind me. When I do it's to late I grabbed and thrown into a tree. I make the tree cushion me not obtaining any damage. I turn to see who it was my knees almost gave out on me. Daniel looking unimpressed at me making me growl. I wasn't ready to fight him I didn't want to hurt my friend or old friend. He charges me a metal whip with him. I jump to the left dodging him but, getting a kick to the back from Morgan. I hit the ground flipping back into my feet the four in front of me. I growl to myself wondering how I'm suppose to beat these guys. I'm then charged at the same time I dodge Houge low kick, cart wheeling just in time to get out of the way from the others attack. They crash into each other Emily about to yell at them but, I dash in the trees trying to get to our camp site.

I feel them gaining speed two behind me the other two on the ground. Daniel flicks his whip grabbing my ankle and throwing me. I go flying I to a open space and crashing into a tall tree hitting the ground with a loud thump.
I gasp for breath having the wind knocked out of me. I go on my knees looking up to see my shocked friends and four people charging me. I then quickly have the trees lash out grabbing each one of them. I limp onto my feet hearing the struggles of the four. O glance to the others all looking ready to fight even Ken and Kein. I was gonna go when I sensed something fast coming I jumped barley missing being tackled down but, get kicked in the stomach making me fly into Charlie arms his back hitting a tree from catching me.

I look up to see someone I never seen before. He had whitish hair it had one black strike in it, he had yellow cat like eyes, he wore a white shirt, and black flexible looking jeans.
He grinned evilly ready to attack.

"Hold it son I didn't say you could attack again."
A harsh but familiar voice says

I freeze in Charlie's arms at the voice I look up to see who it is.

~Oh no....~

-How'd he find us?!-

'It can't be...'

A man with a hood stood there his blue skinned hands as ugly as before. I jump out of Charlie arms having my plants ready to help at any time.

-DONT BE STUPID GET YOUR FRIENDS OUT OF HERE YOU NOT READY FOR THIS!!-

~I don't usually agree with Kusa but, his right you can't face him right now.~

I shake my head ignoring there comments. I growl ready to kill the man the man who took away my parents my father.....IM GONNA KILL HIM!!

I dash at him my eyes turning a darker green as vengeance boiled within me. I dodge the the four attacking me slashing each one with ice. I pick up the speed disappearing from view I then appear behind him attempting to kick him but, stopped by the boy. He then trips me and pinning me to the ground knocking the wind out of me as my stomach hits the cold earth.

"You may be my bride but, you will not harm my father."
The boy says in my ear

"What?!"
I screech

"It's about time I finished what I started."
The harsh voice says chuckling evilly
