《8 ~ That can't be true!》

Golden Bones:
Just before I reached the cell, a skeleton with a cup in front of me turned in the same direction. "What's that supposed to be?". "G-General ... The little girl coughs heavily and I-I just wanted to bring her some water ...". I raised my hand and he was silent. "If she should ask what that is, tell her it's a cough syrup or some other medicine." He nodded, took the vial, and walked on to the cell, and I set off for the Demoniac.

Sora Storm:
My cough just didn't stop. In addition, I was very warm on the head and I was still shaking all over. If only I had my jacket in my backpack!

A skeleton came and opened the door. "Drink that, it's against your cough." Slightly confused, I took the cup, held it with both hands. It was funny, usually I only got water once a day and that was already the case this morning. "W-why'd you do that? If Bones caught you ...?" I asked, sipping the water in peace, where a slightly weird taste came along.

"He already knows and gave me a vial of medicine, I put it in the water so it will have a different taste," he said, handing him back the empty cup. "Th-thank you ...". He left the cell and I was alone again.

My eyes fell on the chains, one end attached to my legs and the other attached to the walls. I noticed that they were long, got up and left the room. Then one thing was certain: I could move around the room, but if I wanted to get out, the chains would have to be gone, so I could not make an escape.

Suddenly I got a headache and sat down, thinking it was because of walking around, but they did not go away. It could not come from the fever, otherwise I would have had a headache earlier.

I held my head and gave a low whimper. The pain stung more and more in my head and got a strange feeling. Slowly my clear vision began to blur and tilted to the side, then I was black.

Then I woke up again. The cell door was open and the chains disappeared, as well as the fever. At first I thought it was a trick, but still stood on the run and through the corridors of the palace. Suddenly I noticed that skeletons were after me.

"Don't  let her escape," I heard Bones roar and increase my pace, thinking I could escape. But when I turned a corner, I slammed someone. It was Bones. "I know myself better here than you, you little brat." The other ways were blocked by skeletons. My eyes wandered to the skeleton general who came up to me and slowly raised his hook. I shut my eyes and waited for the blow.

But nothing happened.

When my eyes opened again, I was no longer in palace, but in a black place. And there was that green mist again. I looked around again and just heard a laugh. "Is there anyone? Hello?", No answer, but a figure appeared in front of me and approached me. It was my brother Zak.

But before I could speak to him, he dissolved into green smoke. Shocked, I came to where he was and was confused.

"What are you looking so confused about?" A familiar voice said a little further behind me and I suddenly turned around. It was Skullivar. Seriously!? This is a joke right?

"No, no, that's no joke, Sora." "How did you know what I thought?" I asked uncertainly. "That's not important now!". I held my head. I remembered the water with the taste that I drank, thinking it was medicine. "What did you look so much about?". "I saw a figure, but it vanished before I could see who it was," I lied calmly.

"Don't lie to me!". "I don't lie". His eyes darkened. "You can not hurt me here! It's a dream!". He laughed and raised his hand. "Oh really?". His hand formed a fist and a strong, invisible power made me feel chest pain as strong as before in the throne room. My legs slumped so that I squatted on my knees and gasped for air. "Do you still think I can not hurt you here?" Skullivar asked, stopping my suffering, where I immediately coughed heavily and held the spot.

"Who did you see?". "Nobody ! Now leave me alone!" I replied and ran away. Skullivar laughed and the next moment he reappears in front of me in this fog, where I fell to the ground in shock. "I'll get the answer out of you and if I always have to torture you for it!" He said, raising his hand again and made a move ...
