Ella's POV

I feld gras under my fingers. Weird...The last thing I 'member was, falling asleeping next to Daryl in his tent. Why was I outside no-

"C'mon gir'! Rise n' Shine!" I heared someone saying. I knew this voice.

Tori!

I tried to open my eyes, but find it very hard to. I only could open them half, but enough. I saw her!

Standing right infront of me, with this grin I always hated. Even when I could smile that way as well.

And this shirt. Always told her not to wear this shit. Makes her look like a'slut.

"Welcome to the land of living gir'." She grinned cockly.

I knew this wasn't real. I looked around. We were in the forest. Our forest. Where we were always hiden from our mother, police and school. It was in the arena of our house in Macon.

"I-It's not ta land of ta livin'..." I coughed out, find it hard to talk.

Tori rased a eyebrow cockly and kneed down next to me. "How can ya tell lil' sis?" I hated that nickname.

"'cause if it was, ya would wear this shit..." I told her, and pointed to her black top. She looked down to it and smiled cockly.

"Okay, cha got me." She said and sitted down next to me "Whad'ya think is this hear?"

"Dunno" I told her, didn't had the strenght to sit up "A dream?"

She nod and didn't made eyecontact with me. I lifted my arm up to touch hers. To feel her.

"Don't." She stopped me in tracks. "Just...don't."

I sighed and let it fall to the ground again "Where are ya?" I asked her.

She looked at me confused. "What d'ya mean? I'm right he-"

"No" I cut her off. "Where are ya? In tha ... in the real world."

She starred at me for a couple of minutes before scowl.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked her angry. She looked at me again. Nothing but blank.

"Ya- Ya weren't at home. Weren't at college. Heck! Now I'm at a strange group with Co, and ya can't even tell me where the fuck ya are!?" I scowl at her. She didn't answered. "Heck, you're even worest then-" "Don't!" Tori warned me. "Then mom!"

Pure anger. That was in her eyes now. I wasn't afraid of her. Know that she couldn't hurt me. It was just a dream, she wasn't here, she wasn't here, she wasn't here.

"I'm worest then Rachel!?" Tori asked disbelieving "Who looked at ya useless ass all the time huh? Who protect ya from her as much as I could?"

"Ya just wanted me at join ya at your 'businesses'. And what did I get!?" I didn't realize until now that I was sitting now infront of her, my green eyes meeting her ice blue ones. "Almost jail punishment! You were never there for me, NEVER! Marc always looked after me when I-we were little. And when Cody came. I always needed to look after him, so ya could finish ya damn college!" A few tears were runned down my cheek now. I was never so emotional, to nobody, especially in my dreams.

Tori relaxed abit "So thats what ya think of me huh? Just there for drugs and shit. Who teached you things? I didn't think Marc did that."

"He didn't." I said "He didn't want me to."

She chuckled to my surpise "Understandable." Tori told me. "He's like dad. Wanted his girl to do something good in life. And what did I do? Drugs and shit..." She shaked her head.

I know how she feld. I touched her arm again, feeling warm again. She looked down where I was touching her. She shaked her head and looked to me again.

"Why did you do that?" She asked me.

"Wha-" I cut off myself, not feeling the warm anymore. Her arm was missing. As well as the hand I was touching her.

"Wha-What happen?" I asked her, looking at my gone hand. Now my arms was next slowly.

"When ya touch the other person in the dreamworld, you will wake up soon." She told me, almost disappearing.

"I-I need to ask you something!" I told her fast before she was gone. "Wi-Will we meet again? I-I meant in the real land of livin'..."

She smiled, the one I liked at least. "Sure...gir'."

I woke up in cold sweat. I couldn't really move much, because a strong arm was wrapped around me.

"Awake now girl?" A gruff voice asked.

I blushed and looked behind me. Daryl was wrapped a arm around me. What the...

I got fast out of the hold he had around me. Now I was, i think, again on my regular spot where I slept.

Still a bit shocked I rasped the word "Why..."

He blinked a few times, before sitting up "Ya were trashing around in your sleep. And mumbles stuff like 'Ya were never there for me', 'Don't call me that' and stuff."

Now I was at the time to blink a few times and looked to the ground. Shit..., I thought.

"I..." I began but trailed off abit "I had a dream...about Tori." I told him.

He raised a eyebrow "Your sister." I nod. "Fighting?" Nod again. Damnit, he's good at guessing.

He chuckled abit "Figure 'ut."

Silence. By the darkness I could tell it wasn't morning yet. "Guess we can sleep abit more. Isn't morning yet, right?" I asked him.

He just nod and layed down again. I did as well, but couldn't sleep again. Not after that dream.

"Can't sleep?" He asked me. "Yea..." I murmelt quiet.

I heared fabric moving. Now I feld a big warm source behind me and a arm, again, around me. "Wha-" He cut me off "Just sleep." He grumbled quiet.

I sighed quiet, but closed my eyes and feeling again how I slipped into darkness.

"Looks like someone got herself a boyfriend." I heared Tori chuckled, before I falled back to sleep.
