Sparks

"Jade... Jade? 'Yo-hoo! Hmm? "Resting my eyes for a breof second, I softly nodded as I opened my eyes. "There you are... How much longer are you going to stay in the library. Its just plain spooky being here after the sun has gone down. "

Her metal accessories lightly hit the wooden table beside me as she rested her head onto her sleeves. Keeping my focus on the number of books in front of me, I dove entirely into my work as I studied for the exams next month.

"Urgh... Is this level of studying even necessary, Jade? My energy is at an all time low just being here. When will you be done? "

Flipping to the next page in silence, I then abruptly stopped and turned my focus to Amelia.

"Uh... 'Good-good'. I'll give you treat when we get home. "Returning to my work, Amelia trembled with exitment as she then kissed my cheek and vanished into thin air. "Give her some of my cola. Hmm. That'll do. "

An hour then passed and I moved to put the books away as I packed up for the night. As I shut off all the lights near the front entrance, I then locked the front door and turned around as I could see my own breath under the folly of an old lamp.

Shivering slightly while tucked away in my warm coat, I reached into my bag and took out a chapter book featuring a story I seemed to like after picking it up a day ago. Walking home while buried in my book, I abruptly stopped at the roads and intersections as Amelia looked out for me all the way home.

-------

Sitting idle while buried in another book, Amelia was brushing my hair while watching the HDTV in the living room. Hearing her laugh as she watched her some sad melodrama, my head moved to the side as she wrapped me around her waist. 

Wrapping up and turning the last page, I then cleared my head and looked up at the TV. Exhaling softly, I looked around the apartment and spoke and lowered my gaze. 

"Amelia. "Snapping abruptly to meet my gaze in all her excitement, I then spoke. "Where are we? "

Pouting with a curious look, Amelia then turned and spun around the center of the room as she rested her golden and blue eyes on mine. 

"We're home! Right? "Setting my book aside and standing up, my pajamas then slid onto the floor that she had put on me as they were twice my own size. 

"Amelia. "Bright and clingy, she appeared inches from my face as I held a blank expression. "Bad-"

Her body abruptly collapsed onto the floor with sheer force that the pressure from it caused a rift of air to surge throughout the apartment. 

Walking off, I changed back into my own clothes, I began heading to the front door of an unfamiliar place. Closing my warm coat, I held my bag and then walked outside into the freezing cold. 

~•~•~•~•~

Walking down the street while going uphill, the cold wind froze my hands as I was shivering without rest. My own breath blew into the air while walking and exhausting a shaken breathe. 

Holding firm, a powerful wind swept through the street as I fought to keep my balance. My legs and arms, including my face began to crumble in the freezing weather. My hair had begun to freeze as I covered my face with my arms. 

The wind only picked up as I slid backwards from the gusts. Bolts of white light began freezing the road up ahead and all around while I remained stranded inside the light from a street lamp. 

Raising my hand, I then abruptly sunk as a cracking sound began to move throughout my arms and legs. My face had already formed crystals as I could no longer bare the weight of the wind. 

Before long, I then watched as a metal railing from further up the road was ripped from its hinges and barred over the sky in its intensity. Falling directly over where I was, I then felt a momentary crack as I exploded into a million pieces. 

~•~•~•~•~

Sitting up intently on my bed, I was trembling as I woke up in a cold sweat while on my bed. Turning to my side, I looked around my dark room and watched as Amelia's birdcage hung over the window. Gulping, I searched my body and curved my toes and hands as I figured it was a terrible dream. 

Standing up in my room, I then soaked over to the door as I raised my hands to unlock the handle. Sliding the door open, I then walked out onto the cold and dark hallway. It looked  yet, I found myself calmly walking forward. 

Passing another set of rooms, I watched as two lumps rested on a bed while peeking through the slightly open door. Seeing the lump shifting, I then stood firm and calmly continued down the hallway. 

Arriving at the edge of a wooden railing, I then found a set of stairs leading down. Turning my gaze to my right, another door stood however, my heart pounded at the moment I saw it. I didn't pursue it and rather, I headed downstairs to the living room. 

Looking all around, I moved to the kitchen where I opened the fridge and found alp sorts of plastic boxes with different things in them. Closing the fridge door without getting anything, I then opened the front door of the house. 

As it creaked open while pulling the door, a woman wearing a familiar leather jacket stood on the other side. Her familiar silver accessories on her wrists became clear as they looked an awful lot like chains. Though I couldn't see her face under her hair, she extended her pale white hand. 

Blinking, I was two steps from the doorway. Looking at her hand, I hesitantly raised my own while slowly stepping closer. 

"Emily! "Snapping my eyes back to the staircase, my hair twirled and before a moments notice, I was abruptly pulled out by my hair as a familiar face stared back at me. 

Her bright blue eyes looked in pain as she extended her hand through the air. Unsure of what was happening, I simply watched her as time moved slowly while watching her spread her hand to her fingertips into the air as if to desperately grasp even a hair of me. 

At the second I was completely out the door, I closed my eyes and all fell into blackness. Without a reason or doubt, I honestly thought if I was dreaming a blank dream. 

~•~•~•~•~

Opening my eyes softly, I looked up at the purely white silk curtains that hung all around the ceiling. Shifting my gaze to the woman holding me in her lap, I then first heard my own voice. 

"Hey... "Her eyes remained covered in darkness while hidden under her hair yet, her mouth was as if I could instinctively tell she was beautiful. "I had a dream. "

"Hmm. "Her soft and heavenly voice rang in my ears like a melody, I couldn't be happier hearing 'hum. "What kind of dream was it? "

Closing my eyes as if intoxicated by her soothing voice, I gently gripped her soft hands on my face. Opening my eyes into a low gaze, I slid my face against her lap without restraint until stopping and continuing. 

"My dream...? "Blinking, I watched time flow around us as if we were underwater without any of the haze. "I dreamt of a stranger... a girl. She had bright blue eyes. "

"A girl...? What was she like? "Softly shaking my head, I then continued. 

"She looked 'kind' and 'innocent'. I don't know why I think that. Hmm... She was pretty, too. "

Swaying her arms around me as she sat me up, I lowered my head beside hers as she rested her hand over my neck. 

"Was she...? Do you find 'me' pretty...? "Tilting my head slightly, I then gasped as she danced her fingers down my chest. 

"No... I find you more attractive than anything else in the world. You are... Perfect. "

Stopping altogether, I then opened my eyes and turned as had disappeared from sight. Looking all around the brightly lit room, all I could see were large open windows and spaces engulfed in a wapp of bright light. 

Lowering my hands onto the soft bed, I turned my head to the floor and began weeping as if something in me was urging me to cry. 

["... Jade! "] Snapping from my haze, I awoke to the side of the road. Turning to Amelia, I then held my head as I had a massive splitting headache. Unsure of what was happening to me, I then stood up as I met Amelia golden blue gaze. 

"Amelia... W-Why? Aah!? "Staggering, Amelia caught me as I was feeling dizzy. "Where am I, where are we? "

"We're down the road of the apartment complex. You got upset I messed up where you live again and gave me a punishment. That was five minutes ago-"Snapping shut, Amelia then noticed a mark on my neck underneath my coat and pulled it down. "What's a Valkyrie's kiss doing on your neck? "

"A what? Sorry, Amelia, what's going on? Why am I having lucid dreams and places I've never been to before? Aah... Hmm. My head feels like its about to split. "Standing up, Amelia then began pulling out a bright silver long sword from her left palm. "What are you doing? "

"Jade, I'm sorry. "Snapping my eyes wide open, all fell silent as Amelia's hair became stained with blood as she swung her sword down to the ground in the blink of an eye. "Sorry... Forgive me. "

Blood erupred from me as I collapsed and slowly watched as the droplets flew under the bright street lamps light. It was cold yet, there was a warm sparkle mixed into the many drops of blood that was ever pure and clear. As if they were from a rain more a bleeding heart's love. 

Collapsing onto the ground, I then felt my vision blurred as Amilia's wavy hair hid her beautiful gaze. An odd familiar memory soon flashed as Amelia reminded me of someone when she turned her back. An eerie pond abruptly sped past my head. 

".. -Ami… 'Filo'… "
