I had quite a strange dream. And all I remember eating before bed were some cherries. They were good cherries.
I think my characters need more of a personality description. Really, this baisic dream story like doesn't give them justice. The girl sees herself as very weak and is very self-critical. She's very shy and nervous, and is close to her family. The boy gets angry very easliy. He doesn't get scared, ever, becuase he can't stand being weak. He's used to being alone.
The dream began with a girl, (who really has no name, but for now I'll title her Ches) and her family (mother father and possible sister?) running away from something bad. This family wasn't normal, and the girl could run at amazing speeds. (superpowers?) The family had traveled many many distances and weren't in the best shape. They had to distance themselves from people. But one day, traveling through a town (the very shady part of town), Ches met with a boy after she'd been seperated from her family. She'd known this boy since grade school and had no idea what he was doing there. And then a crowd of men dressed in black closed in on them and they were what the girl and her famly was running away from. They told her and the boy to go with them, that the girl's family was waiting for her. The boy grabbed Ches and shot into the air and literally flew away from them. (I know I know, don't make fun of my dream, it really was interesting to me.) The boy was running from the same people as the girl. The girl's family had no doubt been captured by those men. The boy wanted nothing to do with traveling with another person, but Ches would not leave him, becuase she was scared of being alone. Traveling through a dark forest, they happened upon a lonely little house that looked deserted. They decided to make a campthere for the night. And in the middle of the night, an old, large lady barged into the cabin and shot both of them with tranquilizers.
When the boy and girl woke up, they'd been left in what appeared to be the royal suite of a famous hotel. A strange man with a pointed nose and black, slick hair wearing a dark purple suit greeted them. He told them that they were going to stay here for a very long time, that thier stay would be most enjoyable, and that there was no use in escaping. The boy and girl glanced at each other and the strange man led them out of the room and down many flights of stairs. The building was huge and dark save what little light came from dim lampbulbs and sunlight dampened by old dusty curtains. The carpets were a dark crimson red and the the woodwork was very ornate and aged. The man led them to a room filled with other kids ranging all ages, and the were sitting, conversing, watching out the windows. There was an old black and white television in one corner, though nobody bothered to watch it. As the boy and girl entered, the other children went about what they were doing without giving them any notice. The boy and girl sat down beside a window and watched the crowd of people warlily. One girl, small and timid, wearing a faded blue dress, looked up from a card game she was playing by herself and smiled lightly at the boy and girl. "Careful of the windows," she said quietly, "they tend to break and fix themselves." Ches stood up and moved nervously away from the windows. The boy snorted and leaned back against the glass. There was no sound other than the boy slipping and falling from the second-story window. The glass that previously had been falling with the boy traveled back to the window and fixed itself, as if the window had never been broken. Ches rushed to the glass and stared down at the ground, and the boy sat on the ground, stunned. He didn't appear to be hurt. Many other kids ran up to him and picked him up off the ground as he dusted himself off. People crowded around the window and Ches shoved her way away from them and ran down the stairs and outside to find the boy. He was glaring at her and pushed past her to go back inside the house.
This house (if you haven't noticed) had something very wrong with it. At night, things murmured in the hall, the house creaked, the air became heavy with the feelings of imprisonment and once, they boy woke to find someone staring at him from a gap in the bedroom door, before the shadow closed the door and left. The boy asked the same girl who had warned him of the windows what this house was. And she told him, it was the place they sent special children with the special powers, which each of them were, so that they would never escape. Nobody got out, unless men in black clothes picked them up and took them away to god knows where else. The boy asked about the shadows and the girl said that only the people who were going to be taken away soon were watched by the shadows.
Ches has also been seeing the shadows at the bedroom door every night. They terrified her. But she was afraid to tell anyone else about them, especially not the boy.
Later that month, in the middle of the night, a shadow crept up the bedside and took Ches away. The boy awoke in the early morning, while it was still dark outside, to find the house in utter chaos, children were running around, the house was torn and a wreck. Ches was nowhere to be found. Around the back of those house the boy searched. There was a large tent surrounded by shadows and men in black clothes.
He watched from the side of the house as the men clad in black exchanged with the tall, dark, cloaked figures that were twice as tall as the men, the shadows. From the back of the tent, a figure fought her way free of one of them men in black, as she made a dash at a superhuman speed to get away. Three of the shadows surrounded her, they were much faster than she, and grabbed her with three pairs of thier bony, long hands. She fought to tear away as on of the men in black ran up behind her and-- brb D:
