I am SO sorry! This website was being a bitch again and I couldn't login if my life depended on it! Because of this problem there will be a few more chapters today than usual because I was still working on my chapters yesterday even though I couldn't post them. So here are the ones from yesterday.

Chapter Ten; Dreams and Wishes

Chucky sat down at his desk while he started writing a letter to his family;

Dear Tiff,

How is everyone doing? I miss you all so much and I think about you every day. Just remember, even though I am not there physically, I will always be with you spiritually. Also know that I'm fully aware that I might not make it back there alive, and I know this may be hard for you to understand, but this I am fully prepared to accept this responsibility as a duty to my country. I will always love you and you will always be on my mind.

Love, Chucky

Chucky kissed the note as he finished writing it and sealing it up inside an envelope. That's when suddenly there came a huge explosion. "Oh no we've been hit!" one of the men yelled as fire set to the camp. Chucky ran outside of the building along with everyone else, prepared to fight for those he loved. If he died, he knew that he would die with honor and respect.

…..

As soon as Annabelle got back home from training she could sense that something was wrong. She was standing inside the living room and watching out the window with her mother while a man dressed inside a military uniform walked up the driveway carrying a wrapped up package. The man wrung the doorbell and he told them that he was sorry, but Chucky had died in battle. The two women immediately busted into tears as he gave them the letter that they were able to save from the fire.

Amazing grace,

How sweet the sound.

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost,

But now I'm found.

Was blind,

But now I see.

They all sung together at Chucky's funeral. Annabelle slowly walked up to his coffin and saw his body lying in there. A sudden overwhelming sadness filled her heart as she saw him lying there completely lifeless. That's when suddenly his eyes popped open and she gave a loud shriek as he sat up inside his coffin and grabbed ahold of her shoulders starting to shake her repeatedly. "Annabelle wake up! You're dreaming!" he cried. "Annabelle wake up!" he shouted over and over again.

…

"Annabelle wake up! You're having a nightmare!" Liam cried as she laid there tossing and turning. That's when suddenly her eyes shot open and she gave another loud shriek. "Oh Liam," she began as she continued breathing frantically while feeling her heart pound up against her chest. "It's just you." She said. "Yeah, I woke up when you started crying." He explained. "That must have been some nightmare for you to be screaming like that." He said as he sat down on the side of her bed.

"Yeah," she began as she wiped the cold sweat off of her face. "What time is it, where is everyone else?" she asked him. "It's six-thirty, everyone else went down to the great hall for breakfast." He answered. "And I imagine that we should probably too, because class starts in half an hour. And I don't know about you but I also need some extra time to catch up on my homework from school." He told her. "Yeah, me too. My parents told me that I also had to keep up on my schoolwork or when I got back home I would be grounded." She said.

"Come on then, there are a couple of people downstairs that I want you to meet." He told her as he offered her his hand and lifted her up. "By the way," he began as they started down towards the stairs together. "Remember when Claire told you that she was adopted?" he asked her but didn't give her enough time to answer him. "Well I'm her brother." He explained. "Oh and also keep an eye on the staircases, they like to change." He warned her as they made their way down the steps.

Before they knew it they had made their way inside the great hall. Liam led Annabelle up to the table that he usually sat at. Annabelle was about to ask him what kind of magical being he was until he started reintroducing her to his sister. "So you remember Claire," he began as she smiled up at her. "Nice to see you again Annabelle." She said as Annabelle noticed one man looked like he had a million dollars, and the other woman looked like she was from the Arabian nights. "And the one sitting next to her is Derek, he's in a wizarding singing group, and the one sitting a crossed from them is Myra." He told her. "I'm a genie." She explained when suddenly Annabelle felt a lightbulb light up over her head.

At that moment in time Annabelle quickly zoned out to anything else that was being said. She didn't even notice that the brown haired blue eyed boy was now kissing Claire, and that she was introducing him as her boyfriend. She didn't even notice that the dark haired, dark skinned genie (with a purple outfit) was now asking her if she was alright. That was until a moment later when she sat down next to her. "So, you can grant any wish?" she asked her as she shook herself out of her trance. "Well not any wish." She began. "I can't kill anybody, bring them back from the dead, or make anyone fall in love, oh and I also can't grant a wish for more wishes because you only get three of them. But other than that, yes I can." She answered with a grin.

"Can you help my father then?" Annabelle asked as Liam sat down on the other side of her. "What's wrong with your father?" Myra asked her as the sudden joy and excitement suddenly drained out of her face. "He went off to war, and I had a nightmare last night that he was killed." She explained. "Oh so that's what happened." Liam realized. "So what exactly is your wish?" Myra asked her. "For him to change his mind and come home." She answered. "Oops, I almost forgot. The other wish I can't grant is effecting free will." She told her.

"If your father wanted to risk death by deciding to fight for his country then I'm sorry but there's nothing I could do about it." She apologized with true sincerity. "It's alright, I should have known that it was too good to be true." Annabelle said. "However, if you want to speak with him yourself about it I know a way." She told her. "Really? How?" she asked. "It's going to have to be tonight when everyone else is asleep, because technically it's against the rules, and you heard what happens if we get caught." Myra said as Liam turned to look at her.

"Yeah well Harry shouldn't be the one to talk, I heard that he got in lots of trouble when he went to school here." He said. "So, are you interested in it?" Myra asked as Annabelle nodded. "I'm in." she answered as Myra leaned her head in close to her. "Alright then, meet me tonight on top of Gryffindor tower." She whispered. "Alright, I'll see you later, but right now I have to go find Teddy and Nora." Annabelle said. "Who?" Myra questioned. "They're my niece and nephew, and I promised my mother that we would stick together." She explained before she got up and went over to the next table before sitting down with them and starting to eat her breakfast.

You'll find out in my Harry Potter series (whenever I decided to write them) just exactly who Derek is.
