Kara's POV

It was dark. I had that dream again. The laughter. The light. the running. Everything was there. The light disappeared again and the background changed to the prison. And, again, Connie sat in her cell. It's been two days since Nora's birthday and I had this dream over and over again. The last times no black guy. Everything was alright when he wasn't around. He would never know I was even there.

Me and Connie talked about life and being different but most of the time they talked about Nora. Nothing bad of course but as her mother, Connie wanted to know what was going on in her daughters life. Everytime we heard footsteps or voices, we became silent and I hid behind a few boxes

When the footsteps were nowhere to be heard, Connie began to speak again

Connie: so, how do you always end up here?

Me: huh?

Connie: I mean, your not just dreaming, your literally here and I can talk to you. How do you do that?

Me: I have no Idea. Do... You want me to go?

Connie: stars no! You're the most exciting part of my day! You're also my only existing connection to the human world.

Me: heh. Guess you're right there.

Everything started to get blurry

Me: ooppp- there it is again! See you tomorrow Miss!

Connie: goodbye Kara.

___________________________________________

I woke up. It was a pretty boring day. Nora wasn't here because she went to a doctor's appointment and I didn't have anything to do today so I decided to go to Jasper.

Where ever she lives.

My father wasn't home and my mother had more important things to do so no one would recognize that I was gone

I ate breakfast alone Just like most times in the week

It was kinda depressing but that's what you have to do when your parents have a job to get done. Back in empire city, I had my neighbor Mrs. Schneider to take care of me. A 75 year old German widow who is basically part of our family now. She always protected me when in school because she volunteers at our library. But here In beach city? No one could help me.

I decided to get going. I put my shoes and my jacket on and walked off.

I walked into the woods happy to see my friend again. Well something was off. I felt something. A presence. Someone was watching me

I heard a twig crack behind

I turned around and met eyes with a black creature that looked a bit like the big one from the prison but... You know... Smaller. Still by far bigger than me because I'm small but still. He had a mask on that was attached to a towel. It looked strange

? : oups.

Me: AAAAAAHHHHHH!

? : AHHHHH

He let a rope appear out of thin air and attacked me

I jumped out of the way in the right moment. It was like I could sense what would happen before it even did.

? : I- I must arrest you at the command of the great conqueror!

Me: ... Who?

? : th-the great conqueror? Destroyer of worlds?

Me: never heard of him.

?: he's attacking your world?

Me: he who has no name?

?: YES!
