Ruby reluctantly opened her eyes as she heard her sister sobbing hard, asleep.

"Charlie… Charlie… wake up. It's me Ruby." She called out softly.

Charlie abruptly opened her eyes and saw the worried look on her younger sister's face.

"Ruby…" Charlie whispered, as she seats herself up.

"You ok, Charlie?" Ruby asked worriedly.

"Yeah… I guess."

"You were crying again… in your sleep."

Charlie reached to touch her temple and felt it wet. Ever since she turned 25, she keeps having the same dream. But not until they move to Summer Bay, did it become more frequent and clearer, as if a sad memory from the past that always makes her cry.

"Bad dream, huh?" Ruby asked when Charlie remained quiet.

Charlie nodded.

"Same one?"

Charlie nods her head again.

"But the place was different. It was like in a different era or something, but… same scenario."

"Can you remember everything, now? I mean, I know you've been having that dream since your birthday. Which is by the way 5 months ago, but it was only when we moved here that you started crying in your dreams."

"I know… but honestly, Rubes. When we moved here, my dream became more real… more realistic, like… some sort of memory."

Ruby looked at Charlie and saw the thoughtful look on her sister's face.

"So… can you remember everything, now that you're awake?"

Charlie's face fell and let herself flopped down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. She shook her head no, aware that Ruby is watching her.

Ruby propped herself up beside Charlie, feeling annoyed with Charlie's weird dream that she can not remember once she's awake.

"You must remember something. I mean, it's the same dream almost everything."

"I know, but that is the thing. I can see it clearly in my dream but once I opened my eyes, it'll all be a blur. Like, I know what was happening to me but I couldn't remember who I'm talking to or even the person's face." Charlie explained, frustrated.

"So, you were dying and you were asking that someone to give you something, but wouldn't and then you die."

Charlie nodded at Ruby's summarisation of the only thing she could remember from her dream.

"Can you at least remember the name of that mysterious someone in your dream?" Ruby asked, looking hopeful at her sister.

Charlie shook her head no, again and sighed. Ruby sighed with her.

"I would love to help you, sis. But, I'm afraid I can't do anything helpful, other than wake you back up to reality."

"I'm sorry… for waking you almost everything." Charlie said feeling guilty "I could always move back to my room."

"No, Charlz. It's ok. Besides, I don't want you having that dream of yours and wake up alone, crying. I'll have enough sleep, don't worry." Ruby reached for Charlie and snuggled close to her sister comfortably. "Goodnight again, Charlie."

"Goodnight, Rubes." Charlie said as she hugged her sister close, kissing the top of her head.

*****

At the top of one church in Pennsylvania, a figure was seated. She was quietly watching the people walking around the streets, oblivious to her presence and the danger she can inflict, but wouldn't.

She took a deep breath and instantly regretted it, as the smell of fresh bloods filled her nostrils, which made her fangs visible. She covered her mouth as she tried to calm herself down. Never has she hurt another human, ever since she fell in love with one.

It was hundreds of years ago, when she first met a woman named Charlotte. It was in a small town, in a big continent located at the southern part of the world. She was seating in a big rock on the far side of the beach, crying. She was contemplating on the sin the she yet again committed, when Charlotte came up behind her out of nowhere.

(Memory)

"Hi!"

She turned and looked at the woman standing few steps behind her, wearing her sleep gown and with thin cloth over her shoulder. Her eyes were smiling. She gazed at her more, instantly noticing the difference in their eyes. The woman's eyes were blue in colour; it looks alive and has the calming effect. While hers, although originally are brown in colour, it however turns cold, lifeless and scary ice blue, when she's hungry, angry and ready to attack.

She nodded her head as recognition, hoping her lack of response would drive the woman away. But to her surprise, she didn't. The woman even sat herself beside her.

"I saw you from afar. I thought you might want to have some company like me, since we're both out of out houses at this time of the night. I'm Charlotte by the way." Charlie extended her hand.

She looked at the hand and then up to the woman's face, who she now knew as Charlotte. She was stunned when she saw her still smiling, smile that made her warm inside, for some reason. Warm like, she was alive again… like, human again and not some cold-blooded-predator that she turned into. Without thinking she just found herself, reaching for Charlotte's hand.

"I'm Joanne." She replied and shook Charlotte's hand.

"Your hand is cold." Charlotte blurted out at the second her skin came in contact with Joanne's, without thinking.

She immediately pulled her hand and sat on it. She panicked and searched her brain for an excuse. She even thought of just leaving the woman named Charlotte without a word, but for some reason again, she couldn't quite bring herself to do it.

Lost in her thought, she jumped in fright a little, when she felt a thin but warm cloth wrapped around her other side and the woman named Charlotte was seating now so dangerously close next to her, sharing her blanket and body heat to her. A complete stranger. She could smell the fresh blood running through Charlotte's veins, but she wondered why it didn't appeal to her senses. It was the first time in all her life, that a smell of blood didn't trigger anything in her.

"It's a cold night." Charlotte said, innocently.

(End of memory)

Joanne smiled to herself as she remembered the very first time they've met. She then ran her tongue around her fangs and felt it subsided.

'She never failed to calm me down… just the thought of her. Have you been reborn yet, my love?'

She thought as she closed her eyes. She has been waiting and searching for Charlotte for almost 250 years, but to no avail. It sometimes scares her when the idea of Charlotte, never coming back enter her head, as this is the longest time she have waited. But she would always brush it at the back of her head, remember her promise that she will wait for her no matter how long and will find her again no matter what it takes.

"Morning Charlie!" Ruby greeted her sleepy looking sister as she entered the kitchen.

"Morning Rubes…" Charlie replied and made her way to the kettle to make herself a coffee.

"Has sleep been nice to you after?" Ruby asked, referring to the sleep that followed after Charlie's dream.

"I guess… it claimed me two hours before my alarm went off." Charlie answered sarcastically as she seats across from her younger sister.

"Seriously Charlie… do you really think moving here is the best idea ever? I mean, to solve you sleep problem?"

"Rubes…"

"I know, I know, it's not just a sleep problem." Ruby paused and looked at her sister, "but… what if it is? I mean, you wouldn't know unless you consult a psychiatrist."

"Ruby… I know it is not just a dream. I don't need to visit a psychiatrist. I don't know how to explain this, but… I feel like, the dream is some sort of a memory. My memory." Charlie explained.

"Ok. But what does Summer bay got to do with it? We've never been here before, other than now."

"I never told you this, but… the first time I dreamt of that dream. I remembered seeing a beach and a light house. I searched the internet for the light house and I found out that, that light house in my dream is one of the first and oldest light houses in Australia. I searched for its location and found out that it's located here, in Summer Bay. So… here I am."

Ruby frowned and eyed her sister.

"So… you mean, you turned your back from the opportunities that awaits you in the City, to be a Senior Constable of a small town like this, and that is all because of your mysterious dream or memory from the past, whatever that is?"

Charlie sighed.

"Yes. I know you may not understand. But, I really feel like I have to figure this out. Like, it is some sort of missing piece of me. And I know, how strange that might sound, but it's true." Charlie explained, frustrated as she herself can not believe what is happening to her and how drastic her decisions are in the last months.

"Ok. I just hope this would really help." Ruby said as she walked around towards her sister, giving her a hugs. "I'm off to school."

"Do you want me to drop you off?" Charlie offered.

"No thanks, Charlz. As much as I am proud of you, I really wouldn't want them seeing me getting dropped off by my Senior Constable Sister. You know… friendship might be a little aloof."

Charlie smiled and bid her sister goodbye. She understands full well what Ruby meant. They've only just moved in 3 weeks ago and just like her sister, she as well is still trying to settle in, both at work and the rest of the town.

*****

Joanne was seating in her bed, with a map in front of her. She's been staring at the map the whole day, trying to decide where to go next.

"I've been to Russia, Canada, almost the whole of Europe for the past 100 years and I've searched the lands of America for decades. Where do I go now?" she asked herself.

Suddenly the wind blew though her open window, causing a gap between her closed curtains. A small amount of light penetrated the room. She turned her eyes back to the map and noticed the round shape light, casted on the continent of Australia. She looked around to figure out what caused the light and saw the small light from the window reflected on the mirror of her watch and the light's reflection bounced to the map's direction.

"The land down under," she whispered. And a smile formed in her lips. "Why haven't I thought of it before? This is where we first me… maybe it's time for me to go back home." She said to herself.

"I'm coming back, Summer Bay."
