Chapter 8: The dreams
Dilara's P.O.V.
It took a lot of convincing but it finally worked... I finally got everyone to run over. The only downside is the fact a bit of magma dripped onto half of the group. Luckily, it didn't get any fatal spots but it's burnt a piece of the skin of some. The pain is slowly gone away and it's hit our arms and luckily not our heads, that I am hugely greatful for. We go on but I see something in the distance. Purple sparkles? Interesting. We go further and we are greeted to the same type of thing that attacked us but this time there are two of them. Tall and think figures with the skin tone of obsidian. There eyes aren't green like the one we saw but are glowing a beautiful shade of purple but beauty doesn't matter. They're probably preparing for attack. We ready our weapons but more of those purple sparkles surround them and they suddenly vanish as if like magic. The group murmurs and let out confused gasps with some, like I stutter in complete and utter confusion at what we just witnessed. They teleported right before our very eyes. Could these things be the reason Will's gone?!
Caroline's P.O.V.
A whole hour has passed since I locked Willing that room but for a good reason of course. Out of curiosity, I go back to check if he's asleep. I soon arrive to where his room is which is right next to mine. That makes it quick for me to check on him when I wake up, so I guess that's a perk for him to sleep. There are Guards beside the door which I am happy to see since I've requested them to be there. I get out my key for this door and make sure I quietly unlock it in case he's asleep and I accidentally wake him up. I make a small click which makes me worry if he heard that. I open it and I smile to see that he's fast asleep. I step away and quietly close the door which is a success but now I have to lock it back up. The locking makes yet again another small clicking noise but this time, I'm not worried because I'm sure he didn't hear that. The Guards say nothing, assuming I'd rather have a peaceful night and they're right. I go to my room which as I've mentioned, is very close to where he sleeps. I can't imagine how people in that cave live. What do they even eat down there? They can't eat zombies and I don't know what happens if you eat a creeper. Maybe spiders? Meh, I'll think about it in the morning even though there's no sky here. We still have clocks.
Will's P.O.V.
I open my eyes which are heavily squinting but how? I don't even feel tired. Light? I look around and see the sun! The blue sky! I feel as if it's a bit harder to breathe than usual, but why? I look around more and see I'm in a rectangular, glass-like structure. I push at the glass wall in front of me but unfortunately, nothing happens. It's cramped and I can only stand up. I look around more and see there are more of these rectangular, glass prisons with each one person in it. All these glass prisons are gathered around in a circle and I see a bunch of chests in the middle of that circle. This reminds me of something but I can't place my finger on what it is. The Hunger Games! It reminds me of The Hunger Games! It still weirds me out why we're in glass and there's chests in the middle. I highly doubt they're gonna make us fight to the death though. Wait, what am I talking about? There's no they. Actually, that gives me another question. Who put us in here? Why? For what reason? I look around again but as hard as I can. I see more glass in the distance.
There's a wall of glass! No, it's like a dome! Even if we weren't in these glass cages, we'd still be inside glass. I look at my own reflection in the glass and I see something peculiar about my appearance. There's a scar on my cheek and my eyes are glowing purple just like those things! Suddenly, the glass disappears along with the other glass cages other people are in. They run to the chests in the center and I don't know what to do. I mean, sure, I thought it seemed like the hunger games but are people really gonna kill eachother? "Yes." I hear a voice say which makes me look around but I find there's nobody anywhere near me. "Will. You have to run. If you stay any longer you won't die but a girl you know will cut off your hand." The voice says which is male. I honestly don't understand, how can this voice say things like this so calmly?! How does it even know my name?! Who's going to cut off my hand?! The voice said it's someone I know!
Caroline's P.O.V.
I see I'm in some black place... Everything is black as if I'm in space without any shining stars or collosal planets visible. I look around and see Will is behind me. There's something on his face. Some sort of black marks! The marks look like cracks or veins which are black and easy to see. The black, crack-like marks travel down from his eyes and to my confusion they spread to his neck and his chest and as it so more, I see the marks appear on his hands. I'm so confused. Suddenly, his skin turns grey and his eyes somehow glow purple. His right eye changes from purple to a fiery orange. There's no whiteness in his eyes, his eyes are completely filled with one color. One being ominous purple and the other being fiery orange. I decide I should do something and I run to him. "W-Will?!" I frantically ask but there's no answer. He tried to shake him but he turns to dust. I drop to my knees and look at the dust in horror. I blink and I'm suddenly back in my bedroom. A dream?! I have to go check on Will! Wait... I feel my cheeks are wet and I put my hand on my face and then bring my hands to my eyes so I can find out why my face feels so damp. Tears?! Was I crying?!
Will's P.O.V.
I wake up gasping. I hold my cheek but feels there's no scar."Good. Just a nightma- dream? I don't even know what to call that one." I say to myself but hear the door click just as I finish that sentence. I quickly get off the bed to hide under it so nobody sees me because I still feel threatened by her Guards. I see it's just Caroline and I just feel silly. I sit back on to the bed. "Will!" She says rushing to me and putting her arms around me but I noticed something when I saw her face. "Have you been crying?" I ask. She just holds my cheeks and gazes into my eyes.
(When said I wanted to make this chapter interesting, I meant by adding in these dreams. What did you think?)
