A/N - Just a little teaser for you guys! Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bionicle. Only my OCs and - right now - the plot.

Darkness.

Pain.

Her body ached.

She could barely see.

A shadowy figure stood over her. His glowing red eyes filled with malice.

"You have been a thorn in my side for long enough." His voice was hoarse, dark. "Now, little Toa, you must be dealt with."

Explosions.

Fighting.

A red form about to be hit with something dark.

She threw herself forwards. "NO!"

The world blurred, and she was screaming.

"Let him go!" Someone snarled.

A maniacal laugh. "If you insist, Toa of Fire."

Then she was falling.

A voice, so familiar, called out her name in terror.

She could see something - no, SOMEONE - golden below her. Falling below her.

The ground was coming fast.

She screamed.

"TAKA!"

Emma shot up with a gasp. She stared at her nightlight lit room with wild, terrified arctic blue eyes. Shakily, she placed a hand to her chest. Her blonde and blue hair stuck to her forehead from sweat. Her breathing was frantic. Her heart was pounding. "Holy…!"

Trembling, she crawled to her bed ladder. Sliding off the loft bed with a small thunk, she stumbled to her window. The girl collapsed on the desk chair sitting next to it, and with shaking hands moved her blue curtains looked outside.

The street was blanketed with fresh snow, and a crescent moon sat high in the sky. Emma could see hundreds of stars in the clear sky, all so familiar. And the constellations…

She could see Orion, Canis Major, Taurus… so many of them. She could see the Pleiades Star Cluster, where the Orion Nebula was in the constellation… She loved the late December night sky.

But there was another sky she had grown to love. Emma closed her eyes, and for a moment, she could see the sky of Aqua Magna rising before her. The multitudes of stars… the wisps of purple nebulae… Bara and Bota Magna resting on the horizon… and the faded Toa constellation. All six different coloured stars… and the tiny gold star nearby.

She could see Mount Ihu rising in the distance, its white peak rising higher than the Mangai Volcano. The forests of Le-Wahi, the swamps of Ga-Wahi, and the deserts of Po-Wahi. The caverns of Onu-Wahi, lit with lightstones and tiny, bioluminescent creatures.

Opening her eyes, Emma gazed out at the quiet street. She placed a trembling hand on the window, soon followed by her forehead, her heart torn again.

"Why is this so difficult…?" The girl whispered, a single tear running down her cheek, "Why can't I have both of my families with me…?" She let out a stifled sob, "Why… Why was I taken there…? And why was I taken away…?"

There was no answer, and she didn't expect one.

Her heart wasn't pounding anymore, and her breathing was much calmer. But still…

"What the hell was that?" Emma asked herself. "My nightmares have never been like that before. They've always been about that night…" She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to push the memories back, "That horrible, horrible night…"

Letting out a shuddering breath, the girl forced herself to stand up. Closing her curtains, she made her way back to her bed. She crawled under her Captain America covers - a gag gift from her uncle and cousin - and held a small, brown teddy bear to her chest.

She didn't bother to glance at her alarm clock, and closed her eyes. Before she drifted off, Emma had one last thought.

I love you big brothers, big sister. I hope you sleep well. I miss you.

Vakama stared up at the night sky, his red-orange bioluminescent eyes holding a faraway look. He could vividly remember the dream he had had.

Or more accurately, the vision.

"Emma…" The Turaga of Fire murmured.

Footsteps came from behind him. "Vakama?"

He turned. "Nokama." He greeted his sister. "What are you doing up?"

The Turaga of Water hobbled up beside her fiery brother. "I could ask you the same thing, brother."

When Vakama didn't answer, Nokama placed a hand on his shoulder. "It wasn't your fault Vakama." She comforted, knowing what he was thinking of. "She made her choice, and we know that she is safe." The Water Turaga squeezed her brother's shoulder. "She's home, Vakama. With her original family."

The Fire Turaga sighed. "I know, Nokama. It's just… the way she left…" He couldn't finish his sentence, his throat squeezing.

His sister hugged him tightly. "I know brother. I know."

After a moment, the two pulled apart. Nokama took Vakama's hand, and without a word the two headed back to the Kini Nui.

The Turaga of Fire glanced back, his eyes landing on the six-star constellation, now dimmer then what it had once been. But his focus was on the nearby, tiny golden star.

We miss you little sister. It may not be today, tomorrow, or a century from now, but we will see each other again. I hope you sleep well, little one.

A/N - Coming soon to FanFiction…

And yeah, little spoiler for the future! ;D

I'm still working on the chapters. But I am also doing another series currently. Called Rise of the Dragon, it is a Superior Defender Gundam Force story.

…Yeah, not a well known series, but I really enjoy it! So, my focus will be on the idea that had been bouncing around by head for the past couple years. And yes, it's a rewrite of an old series. A very seriously needed rewrite.

So, while I have posted this, I will be focusing elsewhere for a while. But don't worry! I will post the first chapter soon!

…Just gotta finish writing it.

I'm also planning on doing a more weekly system, by posting a chapter every week. Hopefully. I mean, sometimes I hit a snag, and then everything goes out of whack… yeah. So, hopefully weekly updates, if not monthly. (I am REALLY, REALLY trying here!)

Until next time!

First Chapter - A Stormy Return
