Remi's Profile

I was running nowhere. I mean, I was running, but I didn't feel like I was moving. Everything was black, except me & my pursuer.

My uncle wasn't even running, but he was catching up to me, fast. So maybe I wasn't running...

"Darling, you wanted to be freed, yes?", Jason asked in a sugary sweet voice.

& then he was behind me, his chin resting on my shoulder, lips to my ear. I froze. I was afraid, but not terrified.

"Yes", I said just above a whisper. " Yes yes yes.". I exhaled in a huff.

"Well, you're free.", he said, lifting his chin & grabbing my shoulders. He spun me around to face him.

Jason was white. Completely whit. From what I remember, his eyes were naturally greenish-yellow. His hair was black & to his shoulders, always in a ponytail. His face was long & sharp, & his mouth was too big for his face.

"But darling, your freedom is for a price.", he said, showing his brilliantly white teeth & fangs. I shuddered.

Jason wasn't a vampire. He was more of a snake than anything else. He didn't want my blood; he wanted to give me the cursed mark.

"Anything...", I breathed, foolishly relieved that my parents were finally...Finished.

You see, my uncle wasn't really 'Jason'. I didn't know it at the time, but my uncle was really Orochimaru, from Konohagakure. Back then, I didn't even know that there were different worlds out there. I thought Mikomi was it, & there were no such things as angels or fairies. I knew about vampires, though, because my parents told me about my sisters being vampires. I only just recently found out about Konohagakure & Jason being Orochimaru.

Anyway, back to my dream.

I've been through this dream many, many times. Every time at this point of the nightmare, I get bitten by 'Jason' & fall to the non-existent floor screaming. But thus time I didn't. This time, Vincent suddenly popped up to save the day.

Now, this didn't make much sense. I didn't know him back then, & I wouldn't know him for another 51 years. But hell, this is a dream. Who cares?

"Thank you...", I said shakily to Vincent, bewildered at this sudden change. He nodded & began walking to me.

"Did he hurt you?", he asked, concerned.

"No...", I replied.

That's when Vincent made a quiet, but pained noise.

A snake had bitten him on the ankle, & 'Jason' was nowhere in sight. Vincent sank to the floor, & the snake, who had been bleeding profusely, ceased moving.

& that's about when I started screaming.

Vincent's Profile

A few seconds after I left Remi's room, I was downstairs. sitting on a barstool. Jaab, Ken, & Alex sere the only people down here, & they were all at a table talking. I wasn't incredibly interested in their conversation, but I was curious, so I eavesdropped.

"- you think we'll ever get home?", Alex asked the others.

" Psh, who cares? This is awesome! We're actually in a different world! We escaped death-"

"For the time being...", grumbled Jaab.

Ken continued, ignoring Jaab's comment, "- & we're having fun! Don't you guys enjoy this?",

"Yeeaah, but to some extent. We're probably gonna move soon.", said Alex.

"Again.", added Jaab & Ken.

It was quiet for a moment, but then Ken broke the silence.

"I want some of that liquor.", he said, pointing to the cases of wine behind the bar counter.

That's about the time when Remi screamed. We all looked up the stairs, surprised. After a second, I swiftly disappeared up the steps before any of the kids could blink.

I slammed open Remi's bedroom door & it hit the wall with a loud bang. She was still asleep, but she had probably gotten to the point in her nightmare where Orochimaru had bit her, but she had never screamed out loud before, though she has told me that when it really happened, she screamed. I wouldn't blame her.

I rushed to her side & shook her. She awoke with a start & looked at me. Her eyes were a deep purple with a blue tint. Upon awakening, she stopped screaming & buried her face into my chest. She was breathing hard. "Remi.", I said seriously.

She pulled away just as the bit of color in her eyes faded to black.

"Sorry. I'm okay.", she whispered & moved to the side of the bed.

Jaab, Ken, & Alex showed up at the door. "Is everything okay?!", they yelled in unison.

"Yeah...", Remi said, looking up at them.

"What happened?", Jaab questioned.

"Rat.", Remi lied & stood up. She walked out the door quickly, avoiding everyone's eyes.

"Rat...", I muttered.
