private (between Soran and silverroses2009)

[darkvamplips]

"No I don't want to see that again. What do you mean? Who is this other person?" Her brother would now lie to her not even in a dream right? Right?

[Soran]

"You may not want to see it, but you may have to accept it. The other... is not a person...." he said quietly

[darkvamplips]

"Just tell me already stop hiding things." She took a step backwards away from him feeling a bit scared now.

[Soran]

"The other, is not of the living world. He gave me life again just so I could see you again.........but there is a price"

[darkvamplips]

"Just tell me." She was starting to get agitated about him holding back on her. Especially if he's her brother.

[Soran]

"I am not alive, not in the way you are. The other will take over this body, to use it anyway it wants when it feels our bargain has been completed. Then I'll be elsewhere..... "

[darkvamplips]

"Wait elsewhere? Meaning you'll be leaving again?" She did not want him to leave and the tears came to her eyes again. Now she was happy for once in her life if he left then she'll be depressed.

[Soran]

"I will not have a choice. I had to bargain hard for the time we have now, but such bargains come with a high price. I died Rebecca." He saw her eyes tearing up, but it was better he was straight with her...

[darkvamplips]

"I'm leaving now." She did not want to continue this if she was just going to be the way she was earlier. He was leaving and soon she was waking up in her room and the pillow was wet with tears.

[Soran]

He watched her disappear from the dream, the connection once again lost. Perhaps he had expected too much from her, but he didn't want to lie. He returned to the waking world, invisible. He would have to move shortly. The daylight bought danger to him.


James was fast a sleep against the side of Rebecca's bed, not hearing her wake.

[darkvamplips]

She looked at James and half smiled he was still here. Even though it was a dream she could almost feel her brother's presence around her but she knew it could not be real.

[Soran]

James started to awake, somehow aware that Rebecca had woken up. He blinked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He looked around and saw here looking at him. "Been awake long? Did you sleep well?"

Andrew watched at the scene before him, knowing he had to move quickly before the sun could take him. 

[darkvamplips]

There was a little room off her room that had no sunlight in it and he could go in there. But the door would shut and they would hear it. A yawn escaped her lips as she looked at him again. "Just woke up." The look on her face showed what kind of night she had.

[Soran]

"Right" said James "You've been crying in your sleep. Another nightmare?" curious if she had dreamt about Andrew again.

*Andrew moved to the small room, but needed a distraction before he could close the door. He could feel the hunger now, it was starting to overwhelm him*

[darkvamplips]

She nodded her head and closed her eyes tightly. The tears seeped out. What did these dreams mean? At least James had not left her side. "You must be hungry." She said quietly.

[Soran]

"Yeah, I'm starving. Shall we go and get breakfast?"  James started to move to the door..

[darkvamplips]

In an instant she was up and following him not wanting to let him out of her site.

[Soran]

As James moved out of the door, Andrew closed the door behind him in the small room, wondering if it was noticed or not... he didn't have a choice anyway, the sun was coming up.

[darkvamplips]

She jumped at the sound of the door being closed and looked behind her. The door to the secret room was shut now. Was that an actual dream or was her brother back? She left the room in a hurry.

[Soran]

As James made his way downstairs, Rebecca caught him up quickly "Wow, you must be hungry. What shall we have?"

Andrew could only wait so long to feed... where would he find the food?

[darkvamplips]

"Cereal." She smiled and then started eating. Before they knew it they were done. He was right they must have been starving.

[Soran]

After the breakfast James said "I'll be back in a minute, need to go and clean up and get changed" James hadn't slept in the guest bedroom yet, he'd only slept on Rebecca's floor.
As he went upstairs, he realised his handkerchief was missing and went to Rebecca's room, to find it on the floor. As he stood back up, he felt powerful arms grab him from behind, with a hand over his mouth. He felt the teeth sink into his neck and his lifeblood was been drained...

[darkvamplips]

Before she could protest he was gone and she wanted to go with him but didn't. She put the dishes away and then heard something like a body hit the floor. "James?" She cried out wondering if it was his asthma again. She ran up the stairs two at a time and then went into her room.

[Soran]

James was lying with his back on the floor, moaning, his hand clutching his bloody neck. "Help..." he said in a very weak voice.. he lost consciousness and his breathing became ragged.

[darkvamplips]

She screamed out when she saw the body of her brother and ran over to him. There were two puncture marks on his neck. "James speak to me." How could she stop the bleeding. At least it wasn't asthma again.
