Starting, as Promised!

Also, before I assume any charrie's age, can those of you who didn't see my post to Moonfrost and everyone else please tell me your charrie's age?  I wouldn't want to get a charrie's actions totally wrong because I didn't get an age. 

Background characters will be added later -- this is only the first part.

Nia couldn't wait to dream.  It had been a rough day at school, though she had enjoyed PE that day.  

It was around 8:00 when she said goodnight to her parents, Allie, and Zoe, and closed her eyes. 

She jumped into her dream headfirst.  She could already tell it wouldn't be like her other ones.  It was right into the action, but instead of fighting dragons with her bow and arrow, she was in a town.  This was already unlike the rest of her dreams.  There were people all around her, running away from something.  She grabbed the arm of another girl, slightly younger than her with black curly-ish, shoulder-length hair.  "What's going on?!" she asked.  

"I don't know!  Someone just told me to run!" She said quickly before sarting to run again.

"Hey wait!" Nia called back.

"What?" the girl asked. 

"What's your name?"

"Lucky AutumnRacer.  What's yours?"

"Just Nia.  I'm going to investigate."

"Are you sure?  Everyone seems pretty scared."

"I'm sure I can handle it."

"Alright, then."

"I guess I'll see you around!"

Nia continued running, slowed down quite a bit by the crowds of people running in the opposite direction as her.  She pushed past someone to the center of the town, where she found something she was sure was never in any other dreams.

It was a cloud of darkness, and a strong wind seemed to be blowing towards it in every direction.  No wonder no one had told Lucky.  Something this . . . out of place definitely seemed like something was wrong.  Despite her urge not to, Nia glared right into the shroud of black, the walked into it. 

Nia -- the real Nia, not dream Nia -- opened her eyes.  "What just happened?" she whispered to herself.  She closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep again.

She stumbled out of the black cloud, coughing and hacking as if the haze was poisoned.  She scrambled away from it, running away alongside the rest of the town.

Sorry it's late.  I had less time than I normally do. 

Saphira is 13.

Julia is 14

PART 2 FINALLY

~~~

Two weeks after Julia moved into 10 Evening Avenue was when it happened.   Her first weird dream.  Well, it wasn't truly weird, since all of hers were like that, but it was definitely different.  She got home from school and went into her room.  She closed her door, wanting to be alone.  She listened to her parents outside her room.  She spent most of the day there, aside from dinner.  

It was 9:30 when she finally went to sleep. 

Julieanne the Mistress of the Sea was in a forest.  Odd, she thought.  Usually she was in a town, amongst people, never alone.  She touched the handle of her sword, relieved that there was some sort of continuum in this. 

She walked along the dirt path, looking at each tree for something recognizable.  Then she stopped dead in her tracks.  A black fog was hanging in the air in front of her, something that hadn't ever been present in her dreams.  She stepped back as someone stumbled out of the haze.  He was tall, with green eyes and a purple sweater with a red lion on it.  

"W-who are you?" She asked quickly.

The boy stood up straight, grinning.  "King Jamie of Narnia!"

Julieanne's face was blank.  "You're not really a king, are you?" 

"Naw, you got me!  Just call me Jamie," he replied.

Julieanne rolled her eyes.  "Alright Jamie."

"So, what brings you here?" He asked.

"Just my dreams, apparently.  They're not usually like this, I wonder what's up," That last sentence was more to myself. 

"Wait, you're aware that you're in a dream?  Do you have a name outside this?  What is it?  Because I'm in a dream right now too.  I'm -- it's hard to explain."

"Yeah, I get it.  I'm in a dream too." Julieanne muttered.  "Anyway, I'm Julieanne, Mistress of the Sea.  Let's figure this out."

My CAPTCHA says zina.  An interesting name indeed. 

SORRY FoR the LONG WAIT ANYWAYS LETS GET BACK TO THE STORY

~~~

Saphira sighed, closing her door after a long day.  She ignored the knocking on her door.  She knew it was her brother, trying to get a reaction out of her.  She got ready for bed, it being late.  It wasn't long before she set her dream notebook on her bedside table and fell asleep.

She was Saphira the Awesome.  She wasn't in a place she usually was.  It looked like a big city.  She walked through the street, looking around until she saw something strange.  It was a fog, so dark she couldn't see very far into it.  She walked up to it, dragging her hand through the blackness.

Then something grabbed it.  She screamed, reeling backward and pulling her hadn out of the dark cloud. 

It was a person.  Saphira looked at them closely after they landed on the ground.  Her blue eyes stared into their swirling grey ones.  Then they got up and ran in the opposite direction of the cloud without saying a word. 

"Wait!" Saphira called, running after them.  She dodged people while trying to keep an eye on the billowing black cloak a few feet ahead of her.  She kept chasing them until they stopped, turning around angrily.  

"What do you want?!" they cried.

"Woah, chill, I just want to know why you grabbed my arm and fell out of a black cloud fog thing," Saphira explained quickly. 

"I went into it, and I woke up.  Then I went back to sleep and I came out of it!  I don't know why I was grabbing your wrist or anything!" They replied sharply.

"Geez!  Sorry!  Anyway, I'm Saphira the Awesome!  What's your name?" Saphira continued.

They looked at the ground for a second before saying, "Kerberos."

"Wow, that's a really cool name!  I wish I thought of something like that when I jumped into dreams."

"Uh, thanks, I guess." Kerberos replied.
