Something totally screwed up, without a title

"Cheri, this is Ileria," Alles said, gesturing. Ileria waved and got to her feet. Emily had fallen back asleep on the ground. Ileria layed down onthe bed she saw in the other corner.

"What are you doing?" Alles asked, walking over to where she was lying.

"I'm lying down."

"On my bed."

"Yup."

"Where'd I like to sleep."

"Ok."

"Tonight."

"There ya go," Ileria sat up and moved to the very end of the bed, leaning against the wall. "You never answered my qusetion," she commented as Alles lyed down.

"Which one?"

"Why'd you leave? We were all so happy at home and everyhting seemed fine until the day you disappeared. That's when the chaos really started, ya know. Why?"

"Well, I was tired of being stuffed up in the other realm. Sure it was great but it was so boring. I wanted to see this world. I wanted to know why we cut ourselves off."

"And?"

"I found out. It's all my fault." Alles covered his face.

"What do you mean?" Ileria said moving closer to Alles.

"We hid in our Realm to protect ourselves. the Human's magic was vicious and deadly. One of the oldest mages left saw me. He gathered his people and cast the spell that invaded our realm. If only i had remained content...none of this would have happened."

Emily dreamed of him again, she was running again, but this time she didn't know where she was. This time when he caught her though he didn't attack right away. He held her around the neck and started talking to her.

"You know you're going to die," he said, "so why don't you wake up?" She couldn't respond. "You can't though, you made the mistake of taking those sleeping pills, with alchohol none the less, so if they don't wake you up soon I won't have the pleasure of killing you.

"But if they do, I will find you. No matter where you hide, and you death will be painful, and the ride there pleasent for one of us." He reached down and unbuttoned her jeans.

"No," she managed to whimper.

"No? Dear do you really think 'no' will stop me?"

"No," she said again.

"Thought so," he unzipped her jeans. "I'm going to have fun tonight."

Alles stopped his self loatheing and looked At Emily. Something was wrong. Her expression was so tormented.

"Dammit!" Alles placed his hand on her Head and went into meditation. He entered her dream.

The man was about to Rape her!

"Hey!" Alles yelled. Everything was dark. The man looked up and grinned. His face was still un recognizable but a grin was obvious.

"You cant stop me, Even she cant stop me."

"Emily! this is your dream! Your Dream! Focus on the crystals. Protect yourself!"

Emily stared blankly at them both, she didn't know what to do.

"Emily this is your place! Yours! Push him out!" She tried, nothing happened.

"Stop it Emily," the man said, his voice exactly like Alles, "stop trying to stop him." Emily stared up at him again, her eyes flooded with fear. "You can stop it yourself Emily, just wake up. You can wake up can't you? If you wake up I'll find you there though."

"I-I- I I can't!" she shouted. She quickly hawked a lugie into his face.

"Little bitch!" he shouted at her. "You aren't helping your situation any!" He slapped her across the face.

"Stop him Emily!" Alles shouted.

"I can't! I can barely cast a simple spell!"

"Thats where you don't make the rules! Here you do! Do something!"

"Foolish elf," he said rising off of her. "She doesn't make the rules here, I do." Emily quickly backed away and pulled her jeans back on.

"Wake up emily," she said to herself, "wake up! Wake up!"

"You can't!" he said turning back to her, "remember you sleeping pills? Do not take with alchohol. You can't wake up now." Emily ran past him, and around the area. "There's no way out Emily. Just say you'll die and I'll let you wake up."

Emily saw a window, if you were about to die in dreams you woke up right before right? she hoped she was right. She ran at the window and jumpped out.

"AHHHHH!!!!" she screamed as she fell. It was a long drop and just as she hit the ground she shot awake screaming.

Alles came out as Emily did.

"That was way to close..." said Alles.

Emily sat there and cried, "I'm never gonna sleep again!"

"I dont understand why our crystals aren't keeping him from getting to her." said Alles. Ileria looked over the barrier. It was sound.

"This is so very odd," she said, "We should get out of here."

"But where?"

"Why am I so special? Why does he want to kill me so much?" she wipped tears from her eyes as she spoke. "This is way too big for me."

"I know," Alles sighed, "but you have to bear with it for a while. We'll help you."

"What am I supposed to do? Why does he want to kill me so much?"

"I think it's because you're supposed to help us," Alles said refering to him and Ileria.

"If you guys help me, I'll help you."

"I'm sure this will be avery symbiotic relationship then." Alles gave Emily a handshake.

"I see you've grown into Human customs as well," said Ileria. "What do we do then?"

"We must go to the Realm of Elves." said Alles.

"But it's all sealed off, we cant get in."

"You're right. We cant. But Emily can open the door again."

"And how do you know that?"

"Call it a hunch."

"Alles I don't think I can, I mean I'll try and all but I can't even do one of the simplest spells and get it right!"

"I think you'll do fine," Alles said.

"Like I said I'll try."

Cheri looked around the room. "Well, you guys have interesting dreams. I tend to dream about tipping sheep."
Everyone glared at her.
"What? Oh, right. Big important moment. Right."
Cheri turned her back, muttering about sheep.

"Come one Cheri," said Alles, "You're coming too."

"Why?" mumbled a groggy Cheri.

"Becuase I'm not leaving you in this cave alone." Alles snatched up the tiny person as they left the cave,

Alles sealed his cave as they wandered into the wood.

"We have a long trek ahead of us." said Ileria.

Emily walked slowly next to Alles, she had fallen asleep a lot tonight, but each time wasn't all that restful. She was exausted.

"I wish I had some coffee," she said to herself.

"Tired?" Alles asked.

"Exausted, but I'm not going to sleep I'm not I'm not. That bastard isn't getting to me again." Her steps wobbled a bit.

Alles put a supporting arm around her, her feet steadied, "you'll be able to sleep when we get there."

"Never sleeping again, Alles."

"He won't be able to get to you there, the magic protecting that place is a thousand times stronger than all my crystals."

"Good."

Emily finally felt safe enough to sleep, she laid down on the matress and closed her eyes. She was asleep almost immeadiatly. But even though she felt safe, she dreamed of him again.

She was in a very bland room, stone walls, stone floor, and a stone ceiling, no windows, and just one door. The door swung open and he came in.

"Little Emily, you lost your chance. You are going to die now." He pulled a sword from his back, "old fashioned I know, but it gives me more pleasure than just shooting you."

Emily backed all the way to the corner, and everytime he came towards her she moved over a little bit. "I see what you're doing," he said and the door swung shut. He ran at her.

"Wait!" She shouted and for some reason he stopped.

"Wait for what?"

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Fifty thousand euros."

"Euros?"

"My employer is paying me in euros."

"We're in America."

"Which is why I'm trying so hard for this, you're worth over one hundred thousand dollars."

"Why does your employer want me dead?"

"Its his passion to keep the elves down, and you are the only one who can stop him."

"Why am I the only one?"

"Stop asking questions girl and just accept your destany! Which unfortuantly means death, but know this, if it were up to me you wouldn't die."

"Alles," Ileria walked over to him. They had stopped walking for a moment, and she desperately wanted to talk to him again.

"Yes?"

"Walk with me," she suggested, a pleading look in her eyes. He got up and followed her until she was sure they were out of earshot. She didn't want to worry Emily, and it was a private conversation. "Alles, it's not all your fault."

"What do you mean?" he looked years older than he normally did; his eyes held pain beyond measurement.

"I was in charge of watching the gates that week, but I didn't want to stay. After you left, I began thinking more about the other realm. My parents wouldn't listen to me...and I kind of...left." She held in her tears. "When I left, the portal was open long enough for the humans to get in. I am just as much at fault as you are." She sat down on the large rock behind them and waited for him to speak. He sat next to her and hugged her tightly.

"It's ok, we'll figure out how to fix this. Hey, why were you thinking about me after i left so much anyway? I supposed everyone else was mad at me for leaving."

"Yes, most were. I thought about you a lot though..." she fell silent, giggling a little. "Honestly, the main reason I thought about you so much was the same reason it had always been. I've always had the hugest crush on you." She blushed, turning her pale green skin a funky shade of pink.

Alles laughed. It was a fair bit funny and yet expected. They had been friends for at least two hundred years now.

"Come on, We're out in the open and that guy has some major power behind him." Alles said going back to Emily and Cheri. Ileria sighed and followed.
