Notes: A seeker, or more specifically a knowledge seeker, is a spirit in the form of a dog or coyote

Notes: A seeker, or more specifically a knowledge seeker, is a spirit in the form of a dog or coyote. Little is known about them, but they can be seen on the avatar episode 'The Library'. I took the next step into crazy town and gave this one a sense of humor and the ability to communicate through telepathy. 2 reviews 1 update.

Oh, yeah. If you read my first story you might be wondering if IT somehow found a portal to the real world in a similar manner… plz review if you like! I write these stories on paper first if you wanted to know how I publish so fast. Weird alert!

I kept screaming, the light got closer and closer, until it enveloped me completely…

Mikko was talking to me, but blood was pounding so hard in my ears I couldn't hear her. The pain in my head grew suddenly worse, and then it was over as soon as it had started.

Where were these daydreams, these images, coming from? I had no idea, but I was sure they weren't memories, they couldn't be…

"Are you okay?" Mikko asked me as the pain subsided. She looked scared.

"No," I answered, too tired to lie, "I keep seeing…things…weird things…" I put my hand to my head.

A boy suddenly came in. He looked older than Mikko and I guessed he was her brother.

"What are you screaming about?" He said to her, but then her saw me lying in the hay, "Who's this?"

"He hit his head and come in here for shelter last night from the rain. He can't remember who he is." Mikko stated.

"How do you know he isn't faking it to make you give him food and a place to stay?"

Mikko said nothing; it occurred to me that he was the dominant sibling.

"I'm getting dad!"

"No! They'll never let him stay!" Mikko pleaded.

"He shouldn't be staying! Just look at him!"

I moved farther away from them as they began a heated dispute. The wolf suddenly appeared next to me. I knew I didn't have time for hallucinations, but I talked to it.

"Uhh… hello."

"Hello yourself." Its mouth did not move, and I realized I had been hearing the voice in my head. "Why were you acting so strange?"

I knew it would be no good to fight it so I answered the question in my mind.

"I had this horribly realistic daydream about being chased by a giant black centipede through a forest." I thought.

"But that really happened. Don't you remember? That was the face-stealer. You stumbled into his lair and he chased us."

I really hoped I wasn't going crazy. But then again, I already had. I was talking to a figment of my imagination that no one else could see.

"Why can't the others see you?" I asked, stating the obvious of course, I knew why.

"Because I don't want them to, it's a power I possess. This whole situation is strange indeed. I think we somehow found a way back to the real world."

"Real world?"

"You don't remember? How hard did you hit your head?"

"No, I really don't." I wondered how long I would continue this conversation…

"I knew somehow we were in the real world because you didn't get back up when you fell. You can't get hurt in the spirit world."

"Spirit world!"

"Yes, somehow when you died you didn't go where you were supposed to. Being a seeker I found your predicament very interesting, so I decided to follow you around."

I couldn't believe what it was telling me! I died? I didn't end up where I was supposed? What on earth was a seeker?

"Are you sure you don't remember? You were there for a long time you know. At first, when I found you, you didn't know where you were, so I told you and you told me in return how you died."

"How did I die!?" I asked frantically.

Mikko stopped arguing with her brother and turned to me.

"What are you doing?" She asked. I was suddenly aware of how silly I must have looked staring at the hay like someone was there.

"Nothing," I said, "So can I stay?"

"Two days." The brother said, "That's it, any funny stuff and we tell our parents, fair enough?"

I nodded. I wondered what he meant by funny business, but Mikko answered the question for me.

"He won't steal anything!"

"He'd better not. Come on, we have chores."

I watched them leave. Mikko turned around to get one last look at me before she left. I wondered if she liked me…

"Don't even think about it." It was the wolf, "Want to know how you died now?"

"No, I'll wait for my memories to return. There has to be a logical explanation for this. You, my friend, are a hallucination."

"So you must be a nut then?"

"At least I'm not imaginary!" I yelled. Great, I was fighting with myself…

"That's it! I'll prove it to you!" It said, and then bit my hand.

I began to bleed.
