Chapter 6

Sighing, Delila followed the trail that wound on and on. The sun was a glowing red, burning down on Delila's face. The trail took her to cave, pitch black. Delila squinted her eyes, finally deciding that she could not see, Delila wondered in. She put her hands on the wall of the cave and ventured further and further.

Suddenly, every thing opened up. Bright light burned Delia's eyes. She saw a clearing, and there was Aset, waiting for her, " 'A new star will save the Earth's destruction.' So you must be the new star. Very weird, my ever so great- granddaughter has told me so much about you. She was sent to spy for me. My hunch was correct you are the Tenth Star."

Delila awoke with fright, gripping her sides and breathing hard. She stumbled outside to where her father was reading the newspaper, "What can I do for you honey?" He asked. Delila sat beside him, and told him her dream. 'That's very interesting, we will have to start tr..."

"I am the Tenth Star in the prophecy." Delila asked.

"Don't worry Marie, nothing is gonna happen to our baby." Sol murmured. He wondered over to his desk, and began something. Delila leaned into her mother, and then got up. She slowly walked to her bus stop.

She met Samantha on the way, "Hey Sammie!" Delila called and ran to catch up. It was a typical school day. Delila who dozed off in Geography, again, dreamed of Aset. Screaming awake, Delila earned a detention.

That night, and the next, Delila's dreams were haunted by her enemy. She went to school, she had bags under her eyes. When the kids asked what happened, Delila replied, "I am sick." and with that the kids slowly scooted away, afraid of catching what ever Delila was diseased with.

Delia wondered to sleep, but this time every thing was different...
