Dream: Part Three

by kiwifruit487

"Chelsto, look out, don't let him take you too!" Chelsti was screaming herself hoarse.

Chelsto tried to run, but the shadow was faster and it spoke again, "You can run, but you can't hide!" The evil laughter was higher and soon it turned into a ear-splitting shriek. Silent screams filled Chelsto's lungs and as he tripped on a rock and fell to the rough floor, there was a bolt of lightning. Thunder crashed in the sky and Chelsti's screams were louder than ever as a image of her floating away into the sky appeared. Chelsto was crying as he felt himself fall into the rushing river, "I'll never give up! I will never!"

"Chelsto!" voices were calling for him.

Chelsto woke up crying and sobbed, "I can't take it anymore! It's killing me!"

Wheelz_2000 blinked and said carefully, "I - I think it's time you see a doctor."

"What are you talking about?" cried Chelsto, "I am a doctor myself!"

"I mean, therapy, you know," said Wheelz_2000 quickly, "emotional and mentally, that kind of stuff."

Chelsto then stopped sobbing and he looked up into his friends' eyes. They were all friendly as always, but sad and scared. Then he realised something as he looked around him, "Congratulations Wheelz_2000, for winning that battle, and - and I'm sorry I caused you two to stay and wait for me. It's already late; let's go home."

"It's ok," said Floni, "we are just glad that you are ok - well, in a way - and we are not going home yet."

"Why?" asked Chelsto feeling puzzled.

"We are taking you to a psychiatrist, a therapist," said Wheelz_2000, "this has been way too serious to just forget it Chelsto."

Chelsto bit his lip and was about to protest when the two friends put their palms to him meaning no "buts". Chelsto followed as Wheelz_2000 and Floni accompanied him to the nearest Mental Hospital. A Silver Shoyru - a lot of Shoyrus were nurses there - greeted them and directed them to the waiting room at the 3rd floor where the DD section (Dream Decoded Section) was. Chelsto sighed a lot and kept asking, "Can we go home now?"

But he knew, they all knew, that they weren't going anywhere till the problem was solved. As they sat waiting patiently - there was a long line - Chelsto began to mutter quietly, "Wheelz, Floni, in the dream, Chelsti was flying up, and I was dropping down into the river."

They were silent and then Floni said, "Maybe because you miss her and feel that she's getting away from you more and more?"

"No, I think it's because she's just going on a trip through the sky and you were going on a trip through the water and will end up together somewhere else," said Wheelz_2000 firmly as he glared at Floni warningly.

"No way," snapped Floni, "the dream obviously was about two lovers leaving forever."

"Gawd, how dimwitted are you?" Wheelz_2000 snapped back angrily, "they are obviously wanting each other but they are just on a trip!"

Floni siezed himself up to Wheelz_2000 and said, "Wanna take this somewhere else?!"

"Fine!" said Wheelz_2000 firmly standing up too.

The two didn't even notice Chelsto's pleas for them to stop arguing and as they disappeared to the bathroom, Chelsto ran out of the hospital. All I need really, thought Chelsto, is some time alone to figure things out.

How long he ran, he didn't know. The sky was darkening rapidly and Chesto ran towards one direction. He didn't realised where he was running too till he ended up at Chelsti's house and found himself banging on the door crying. The rain was hitting hard and Chelsto was banging on the door for a long time that when he slipped down the door to the floor, his hands were covered with blood. The door was also covered with trails of blood and Chelsto cried and cried as the rain covered the land and him. He was wet and cold, but too upset and scared to notice.

Then, without warning, a voice was calling, "Hey Chelsto, over here!"

Chelsto looked into the dark road and saw a shadow of Chelsti and he ran as fast as he could. He was almost there when a giant hand about 3 feet tall grabbed Chelsti and lifted her into the stormy sky. Chelsto was still running, but something was stopping him. Gravity and force was no longer and Chelsto could not control what was happening to him. He felt himself been lifted and taken to the river, and during that, he could see Chelsti mouthing, "Chelsto!"

Chelsto felt his body falling into the rushing river, falling, falling... gone.
