A/N: Disclaimer: The norm. Sorry for not updating in, well, forever. Friday to Sunday I was occupied the entire day, and I also had no idea what to write after I upload the latest chapter, I still have no idea what to write. I think this chapter will turn out to be more of a filler chapter than anything, but I hope you enjoy anyway.

I must have crashed at some point during my mini party, because when I come around the music is turned off and someone draped a thin blanket over me on the couch. I groan and sit up, glancing around. Oddly enough, the house is totally quiet. There's always some sort of noise when someone is home, but this time it's eerily noiseless. I get up and go to the kitchen, getting a glass of water. When I'm about to go back to the living room, everything disappears. All that's left is black, with a hint of red.

"Hello again, Jaecanne." My blood runs cold, the voice that just spoke is the same voice that I heard before, in the dream that I saw Phalcun. The dream replays in my head, 'murderer,' 'cold blood,' 'monster.' I shake my head and decide to reply.

"Who are you? What the hell do you want with me?"

"Ah, Jaecanne, so innocent, so clueless. You need not know who I am, but who you are."

Despite this being some weird dream, I take the bait. "What are you talking about?"

"You were built for revenge, child. Ever wondered why your eyes are like that?"

"Yes, and I've made peace with the fact that I'm not going to find out why." No matter how much I keep reminding myself that this is a dream, I start freaking out, it all seems so real.

"I can tell you why they're like that," The voice is quiet, but in that creepy 'come here child I have a puppy for you' way, which only results in you disappearing forever. "You already figured out they're like that because of your birth mother, but I can tell you who she is."

This catches my attention, never mind that this voice probably wants to kill me, I find myself asking, "who?"

When 'it' speaks again, I can practically hear the grin in his voice. "Your birth mother is N-"

"NO!" The interruption comes from Phalcun, well, crazy-dream created Phalcun. "Jae, wake up, NOW! As long as you're awake, he can't get to you! I can't hold him off for long, you need to wake up!" I open my mouth to ask him what in hell is going on, but he stops me. "Don't! I will explain everything, but right now, for the sake of your safety, and quite frankly your life, you need to wake up." I don't know how I did it, but I woke up, panting and sweaty.

I gulp and run a hand through my tangled hair in an attempt to tame it. Tears prick my eyes, for what reason I'm not sure. Maybe it's because I'm scared out of my mind, and I no longer know what's real and what's not. Suddenly, the house that I grew up in seems scary with no one else home. With shaking hands, I pick up my phone and call the one person I know will tell me what just happened, if my dream wasn't a complete sign of me going crazy.

Phalcun picks up on the first ring. "I had a feeling you'd call."

"So I'm not crazy?"

"Depends, do you fully believe that what you just saw is one hundred percent real?"

"Hell no!"

"Then no, you're not crazy. I'm on my way to your house." He hangs up and I sigh, flopping back on the couch. I put my head in my hands and massage my temples. I wait for Phalcun, when the doorbell rings; I get up and open the door. Letting Phalcun in, I can tell that he has a lot to say. I'm willing to listen, if it means that I'm going to get some sort of explanation as to what's wrong with me.

The first words he utters begin to make me regret asking him for answer. "I, uh, called your dad. He should be the one to tell you, not me."

"You what?! Why would you do that? He has nothing to do with this!" The front door opens and closes.

"Actually," my dad says coming around the corner so we can see him, "I have a lot to do with this."

A/N: Okay, so, really short chapter after not uploading for a while. I did say it was more of a filler chapter, but some things did progress here. I am having major writer's block, which is mainly why this chapter is so short, sorry! Now, on to another matter. Absolutely no new reviews? That just hurts. I don't know what else to say, but please review. I may just start to wait until I get a certain amount of reviews before I upload my next chapter. I don't want to do that, but if that's what it takes… Please review.
