private (between Soran and silverroses2009)

[Soran]

James couldn't leave her in that state, he felt the need to try and comfort her. He reached over and touched her on the shoulder "I'll stay" he said quietly. He saw a box of tissues towards the bottom of the bed, picked them up and placed them next to Rebecca. "Here"

*'Interesting, he cares about her...another sibling?'*

[darkvamplips]

When he touched her should she flinched slightly but that was all. At least she did not pull away. Taking a kleenex she dabbed her eyes but the tears still did not stop. This was new pain, pain she had not felt for a very long time. And seeing the place where he died.

[Soran]

It was all James could do, not to try and hug her, he didn't feel it was appropriate as they hadn't had a chance to really get to know each other. He just left his hand on her shoulder, hoping the touch would show her he cared and wanted to be there for her. "If uou want anything, just say" he said gently.

*Andrew watched another comforting his sister, that had always been his job until he passed beyond*

[darkvamplips]

A small nod came to her as her tears slowed down but she was still in a state. She would never get over something like this especially if she was going to dream about him every night from now on. About 10 minutes later she fell asleep again hoping not to dream of the vampire Andrew again.

[Soran]

James was relieved she had settled enough to fall asleep again. Maybe she was getting used to him. He hoped so, he would love nothing more than to have a proper brother, sister relationship with her.

*He watched, she had fallen asleep again. he would be more careful this time*

[darkvamplips]

She wanted him to stay and was feeling a little bit more trusting with him but that was it. No she still did not want to get any closer. Soon she was in a deep sleep.

[Soran]

James settled himself down again. He wanted to be close in case she needed him again.

*Dream scene*

It was the day they both learned to ride their bicycles. There was dad, showing them there new bikes. Rebecca looked on at her younger self wondering why she was here. A normal looking Andrew stood close by. "Do you remember this day, you scuffed your knee learning to ride."

[darkvamplips]

This could not be happening she touched her knee where she still had the scar from that day. Turning around she faced her normal brother again but she knew he had a different side. "This does not make any sense."

[Soran]

"No it doesn't, it's a dream, it's not supposed to make sense. I remember the fun we had growing up."

The scene changed again. It was Rebeeca's 12th birthday party. Lots of her friends had come, but one of her friends had annoyed her by trying to steal a present. Andrew saw and told the girl to give it back, even though she was bigger than him, he stood his ground until she gave in. Andrew had handed the present back to Rebecca, who smiled "Thank you"

The older versions of themselves looked on at the scene

[darkvamplips]

Rebecca did not want to see anymore memories. The pain was just to much. When they were finished with that memory she turned back toward him. "Please no more I can't take this." This was the brother she knew and she wanted to hug this one not the other Andrew. The tears were back.

[Soran]

The scene changed again, but this time it was just a bench on the side of the road. Andrew was already sat on it. "I missed you. The day I left I didn't want to go. I knew it would be so difficult for you as it was for me."

Andrew was sad at having to leave her back then, but it's not as if he had a choice.

[darkvamplips]

The changing of scenes were making her head spin. This had to be a dream nothing more but she had to make it worth her while. When will this happen again? It was like talking to her brother all over. She moved over and sat beside him on the bench. "It didn't seem like you fought to much. You died in my arms Andrew." She gripped her hands.

[Soran]

"I fought. I fought as hard as I could, but my heart could only take so much"

The scene altered once more, Andrew was on his back, his eye's closing, his head nestled in her arms as his breathing stopped....

[darkvamplips]

It felt so real that she had to try. "Andrew." She cried out tilting his head back and breathing deeply into his lungs. Tears filled her eyes.

[Soran]

He felt her trying to blow air into his lungs, he wondered in she would succeed....

[darkvamplips]

"Andrew breathe." She breathed for him again the tears coming down her cheeks.

[Soran]

The air filled his lungs once more, forced in from desperate attempts to save him, but his chest was just so painful

[darkvamplips]

She felt his neck for a pulse before breathing another breath into his lungs. She gripped his hand with the other hand.

[Soran]

He felt her hand hold onto his... but he could feel himself leaving his body, but he fought to stay, he didn't want to leave her...

[darkvamplips]

"Come on please." She cried out again breathing for him knowing it must be a lost cause. These attacks where never this bad usually he attempts to breathe by now.

[Soran]

He was slipping away from her.. no choice to stay no matter how much he wanted to...he wanted to squeeze her hand, but couldn't, he wanted to call her name, but couldn't...he wanted to say goodbye...but couldn't

[darkvamplips]

Rebecca kept breathing for him until the ambulance came in the dream. They had to pry the body away from her arms and even with their attempts he died on the way to the hospital.

[Soran]

He had moved on. When the ambulance came, he was almost gone, when they pried him from her arms he stayed in spirit as the ambulance left...

The scene changed, they were back sitting on the bench "I tried to stay, I fought as hard as I could, but my body couldn't take it." He placed his arm around her shoulder, just like he used to do when she was sad.

[darkvamplips]

She almost fell off the bench as the scene changed back into the scene with them on a bench. When she regained herself she noticed something around her shoulders. "Please hug me." She was crying again and then slowly wrapped her arms around his body. Hoping this dream would never end.

[Soran]

He held her tight in his arms, feeling like his old self, remembering that sometimes a hug with his sister could take the pain away.

"I missed you, I missed hugging you. Soon I will be nothing more than a dream.You've been asleep for quite a while now, you'll wake again soon, it's almost morning.."
