private (between Soran and silverroses2009)

[Soran]

He sat down next to her. "that's what they do.....apparently" James felt a bit awkward...his adoptive father left we he was young

[darkvamplips]

She took a deep breath to try and calm down but it did not help. "I must look like a baby." She said quietly.

[Soran]

"What? Are you kidding? After all the stuff that's been dumped on you today?" James shook his head, Rebecca had been through hell today and he couldn't blame her for those actions

[darkvamplips]

A small shrug came to her shoulders as she just laid there. If he left she would call him back there was no way he will leave her. "I guess your right."

[Soran]

He knew she was in pain and wanted to try and relieve it "Were you and Andrew close?"

[darkvamplips]

Hearing the word Andrew made her flinch. "What do you think."

[Soran]

"Ok sorry, I guess you were. I wasn't close to my fake brother, he just liked using me a punch bag"

[darkvamplips]

"Fake brother?" She seemed interested in him a bit now but would it last?

[Soran]

"yeah, the people who adopted me had their own son..Bobby the bully, 4 years older and was only interested in me when he was beating me up. Well, until i was 14 anyway. I found I could hit pretty hard..."

[darkvamplips]

She slowly turned around on her back hearing what he had to say. "Really?" She did not look at him but at least she wasn't turning away. A slight music could be heard in the background just a little bit.

[Soran]

"yeah, Bobby was a total idiot, a bit of a dummy so he would hit people, mainly me to feel better. I had enough at 14....broke his nose...broke a couple of my fingers doing it"




*The house was getting closer, he could see it, feel the people inside*

[darkvamplips]

"Ow." She said sitting up when she heard her brother's familiar favorite song. The one he used to sing to her to help her fall asleep at night.

[Soran]

"What's up Rebecca?" as James moved aside as she shot up





*He enjoyed singing quietly as he moved around...'strange'...'familiar' he thought*

[darkvamplips]

"I must be going crazy. I heard my brother's lullaby." She looked out the window wondering what that was about.

[Soran]

"Your brothers lullaby? Andrew's? James couldn't hear anything...was she really this distraught?




*He stops singing...it's from a different life...'his old life?' He doesn't know...he sees a figure appear in a window...familiar somehow...can't see them properly yet, too far away*

[darkvamplips]

She put her hands to her ears wanting it to stop. There were so many memories attached to that song. "You must think I am crazy but I heard him singing it."

[Soran]

"Are you sure, I didn't hear anything?" James is a getting worried, maybe the strain was just too much.
"Do you want me to call dad?"



* he moves closer, but silently, that's what his kind do... he can feel there are four in the house, four in somewhere familiar...four....one familiar...very familiar...who...from where?*

[darkvamplips]

"No." She sat half in her bed against her pillow looking confused. How could this happen? He was dead wasn't he? Now she did not want him to leave her room in case something happened to him too.

[Soran]

"Are you sure...Rebecca, I didn't hear anything. Do you want to get some sleep? Today has been kind of emotional" He's torn between getting Martin, leaving her by herself, or to just stay and make sure she will be fine...


*'know the place...must get closer...to remember....could climb...climb to the familiar feeling...not yet though, unfamiliar there...odd, two the same, but not...concentrate..must remember from back then...lullaby again' The singing starts quietly, he needs to, it's a link to help him remember*

[darkvamplips]

The truth was she was very tired and wanted to sleep. "I guess but can you stay?" She looked up toward her new brother and sighed. Was she allowing herself to get close to someone like this again? Soon she heard the lullaby again and it made herself sleepy to the point where she fell asleep and did not hear his answer.

[Soran]

As Rebecca fell asleep James sat... she wanted, needed him to stay, so he sat on the floor, with his back against the bed.



*He got close, but didn't climb, he didn't need to now. He settled himself in the undergrowth now she was asleep he had another way to contact her. He closed his eyes, focussed, and entered her dreams*

[darkvamplips]

She seemed to be at ease for now and calming down a bit. If there was a way Andrew could contact her it would be like a dream about him and she would feel comfortable.

[Soran]

James fell asleep propped up against Rebecca's bed, he was tired after all the emotional turmoil of this day, but still wanted to be there for her.

*As Rebecca sleeps, she dreams of a field on a bright sunny day with her running through it, she stops, the scene changes, it's dark, she's in a church yard at night at the gravestone of her deceased brother Andrew. The night is still, warm and quiet. A voice speaks behind her "Hello Rebecca"

[darkvamplips]

She would not know that her brother was just outside the window but would have a nightmare. Her breathing became heavier when she was at the gravestone and it showed on her body. "Who's there?" She said in her dream.

[Soran]

Within the dream.....

The voice is close to her "Can't you tell by my voice? It wasn't that long ago we used to talk.... turn around Rebecca"


*His memories returned, the connection with her mind had opened the floodgates to his previous life, although his new life was something she may be unable to understand*
