Chapter 48! I was pretty quick updating this story, this chapter just flowed from my mind and I hope you show this chapter a bit of love. This chapter is a dream that Eva is having about her Dad, it's a bit creepy and may not make much sense. Thanks for the Reviews, Alerts and to the unknown people who read my story.

Eva needs hugs, also I've updated The Alternative Story just to let people know and where as everyone gone? :o

I hope you enjoy this chapter :)


Eva stood at the bottom of a dark staircase, she placed her hand on the dusty banister and slowly walked up the staircase. She let go of the banister when she reached the top of the staircase, she looked along a dark corridor and noticed a flicking light coming from a door-less room at the other end of the corridor. She took a step forward, she bit at her bottom lip as the floorboard under her bare foot creaked and looked down at the floor. She looked up from the floor and took a sharp breath when she saw a crouched figure in the dimly lit doorway.

" Hello?" Asked Eva quietly.

Eva jumped when she heard insane laughter echoing around her, she watched the crouched figure crawl through the doorway and took a step backwards towards the stairs. She looked back down the dark staircase, she turned her attention back towards the figure and screamed when she saw the figure crawling towards her. She quickly rushed back down the staircase, she jumped from the bottom step and looked around the hallway. She noticed a light coming from under a metal door, she ran towards it and placed her hands on it. She pushed at the metal door and yelled as she banged against the door with her fists.

" Help!" Yelled Eva as she banged her fists against the metal door." Is anyone there?!"

Eva heard the staircase creaking from behind her, she quickly turned around and screamed when she saw a dark-haired man rushing down the staircase with his hands reached out towards her. She closed her eyes tightly as she felt his hands on her shoulders, she struggled and screamed again.

" Hush my little Eva, it's only me..." Whispered a male's voice.

Eva opened her eye as she looked up at the man in front of her, she was met with a pair of bright red eyes and whispered." Daddy?"

" Yes, hello my dear..." Smirked Beyond, he removed his hands from her shoulders and chuckled." Please don't scream again, someone may hear you..."

" You frightened me..." Sighed Eva.

" I'm sorry my little Eva..." Frowned Beyond, he put his finger tip to his bottom lip and sighed as he tilted his head slightly." I didn't realize it was you at first, this place is full of unnatural and cruel things. Will you forgive me?"

" I guess so, who else is here with you?" Asked Eva, she cupped her hands together and played with her fingers as she whispered." Is there monsters here?"

" Far worse than monsters, just insane people with no place to go..." Smirked Beyond.

" Are we safe here? I'm dreaming ain't I?" Asked Eva.

Beyond shrugged his shoulders, he glanced back up he dark staircase and put his hands in his blue baggy jean pockets as he looked back down at Eva." Who knows, this could be a dream or not a dream and we'll never know unless you wake up. But you'll be safe with me, I won't let anyone hurt you well you're with me..."

" The only dreams I have sometimes are bad..." Sighed Eva, she looked down at her bare feet and closed her eyes." Thank you, that means a lot to me..."

" My poor little Eva, do you see blood and suffering in your dreams?" Whispered Beyond.

Eva slowly opened her eyes as she looked up from the floor , she slowly shook her head at her Dad and bit at her bottom lip." No, sometimes I don't remember my dreams and I wake up screaming..."

" My poor little girl, how you suffer..." Sighed Beyond, he removed one of his hands from his jean pocket and itched the back of his head." I never meant for your life to be like... to be..."

" To be like what?" Interrupted Eva.

" It doesn't matter..." Sighed Beyond, he gently brushed some of Eva's fringe away from her eyes and frowned." My, my... how interesting..."

" What's wrong?" Asked Eva.

" You have my eyes..." Whispered Beyond, he brought his finger tips to Eva's left cheek and slowly ran them under her eye." How old are you now?"

" I'm 12, but I'm 13 tomorrow..." Answered Eva.

" You look a lot like her you know..." Smiled Beyond, he ran his finger tips down Eva's cheek and rested his hand on her shoulder." You've grown up so much since I last visited you, you're becoming a pretty young woman now and I'm surprise that you have my eyes..."

" You mean my Mum?" Asked Eva, she looked down at the floor again and covered up her red eyes with her hands as she let out a low sob." They were blue, but they changed colour and I don't understand what is going on! I'm scared Dad and Uncle A worries so much about me at times..."

" Alternative is still alive I take it?" Asked Beyond.

" Yes..." Answered Eva.

" Hush, you'll be okay..." Said Beyond gently, he put his arm around Eva's shoulders and chuckled." Trust me, now let me see one of your big smiles you use to give me when you use to visit me..."

Eva looked up at her Dad from her hands, she gave him a small smile and sniffled as she wiped her nose on her hand.

" I guess that smile will do for now..." Smirked Beyond, he looked back up the dark staircase and deeply sighed to himself." Let's get you somewhere safe until you wake up, I hate lingering in this place for to long..."

Eva slightly nodded her head, she walked with her Dad back towards the dark staircase and slowly walked up the stairs with him. Her dad stopped at the top of the stairs, he removed his arm from around her shoulders and put his hands back in his jean pockets.

" Follow me..." Smiled Beyond.

" Where are we?" Asked Eva, she followed behind her Dad and took hold of his black shirt sleeve as they walked down the corridor together." Is Mum here?"

" This is my home, but you may as well call it my punishment..." Answered Beyond, he looked over his shoulder at Eva as he walked and sighed as his face saddened." Your Mum is not allowed to come here, she is in a better place..."

" Is this the afterlife?" Asked Eva.

"You're partly right, but this is Limbus..." Answered Beyond.

" Limbus? What does that mean?" Asked Eva, she bit at her bottom lip and tightened her grip on her Dad's sleeve." That's the Elvish bread from The Lord of the Rings right?"

" You mean Lembas..." Chuckled Beyond, he smiled at Eva and pulled her closer to his side as he smirked." You're still adorable my dear, but I said Limbus which is another word for Limbo and that means the edge of hell..."

" Oh..."Sighed Eva.

Beyond stopped in front of the door-less room, he took hold of Eva's hand and smiled down at her.

" Dad, what did you do to end up here?" Asked Eva, she looked up at her Dad and chewed at her bottom lip." Why can't Mum come to see you?"

" It's forbidden for your Mum to come to this place..." Answered Beyond, he looked into the door-less room and sighed." But it doesn't stop me from seeing her in your dreams sometimes..."

" Dad, you didn't answer all of my question..." Sighed Eva, she tucked some of her dark hair behind her ear and frowned." Uncle Aiden never answers my questions neither..."

" Maybe it's because you ask to many questions..." Smirked Beyond.

" Maybe..." Muttered Eva.

Beyond led Eva through the doorway of the dimly lit room, he let go of her hand and walked away from her.

Eva stopped in the middle of the room, she looked around the room and giggled to herself. She saw a small kitchen in one corner of the room, there was a single bed near a boarded up window and a brown sofa under a large golden framed wall mirror. She gasped when she saw her reflection in the mirror above the sofa, she looked down at herself and ran her finger tips down a white cotton dress she was wearing.

" Oh! What a pretty dress!" Smiled Eva.

" That's odd..." Said Beyond's voice from the other side of the room." Your Mum use to wear a dress just like that when she was alive..."

Eva looked up from the dress she wearing, she saw her Dad sitting on the edge of a kitchen counter and walked over towards him. She stopped near a wooden kitchen table, she rested her hands on the back of a wooden chair at the table and smiled at him.

" Where are we?" Asked Eva, she looked over towards a boarded up window in the kitchen and put her finger tip to her bottom lip." What is this place?"

" This was my home once, I use to live here with your Mum before you were born..." Answered Beyond, he slid of the edge of counter and put his hands into his jean pockets again." I sometimes think I was put in this room for a reason, so that I would never forget my past and be tortured my memories of a happier time in my life..."

" I don't understand what you are saying..." Said Eva quietly.

" It's probably best that you don't understand..." Sighed Beyond, he walked over towards Eva at the kitchen table and smiled at her as he rested his hand on top of her hand." Me and your Mum were very happy here for years. It was our first home together after we ran away from The Wammy House..."

" Really?" Asked Eva.

" Yes..." Answered Beyond, he took hold of Eva's hand and led her away from the kitchen table." We didn't have much money, but I provided for my sweet strawberry jam as best I could..."

" Strawberry jam?" Asked Eva.

" That's the nickname I gave to your Mum..." Smirked Beyond, he stopped in front of the single bed near the boarded up window and pulled back the blue blankets on the bed." I think you should go to sleep now, you've lingered here for to long..."

Eva let go of her Dad's hand, she sat down on the edge of the bed and looked down at her bare feet as she cupped her hands together on her lap." Dad, I've got questions that need to be answered and I want you to answer just one of them for me..."

" What is your question?" Asked Beyond.

" It's about my eyes..." Answered Eva.

" What about your eyes?" Smirked Beyond, he crouched in front of Eva and rested his hands on top of her cupped hands." They look perfect to me, red really goes with you dark hair and pale skin..."

" Well, what are they meant to do?" Asked Eva, she stared at her Dad and bit her bottom lip." I've seen blurred shapes above people's heads for as long as I can remember, I don't really know what the shapes are or what they're meant to do..."

" Your eyes are special and it will all become clear very soon..." Smirked Beyond, he removed his hands from Eva's cupped hands and got up from in front of her." Now go to sleep my dear, would you like me to tuck you in?"

" I can do it myself Dad..." Giggled Eva.

Eva got into the bed, she covered herself up with the blankets and rolled onto her side to face her Dad. She watched him sit on the edge of the bed, he turned a bedside lamp off and brushed her fringe away from her red eyes.

" Dad, what's the most happiest memory you can remember?" Asked Eva.

" I thought you were just going to ask me one question..." Sighed Beyond.

" Please..." Pouted Eva.

" Alright..." Smirked Beyond, he pulled his knees to his chest and looked up at the ceiling." I've got two happy memories, it's pretty hard just to choose one happy memory though..."

" Tell me both of them then..." Smiled Eva, she pulled the blue blanket over her shoulder and giggled as she kicked her Dad's foot" Please..."

" Well, my first happy memory was meeting my your Mum for the first time and my second happy memory would be meeting you for the first time." Smiled Beyond.

" You mean when I was first-born?" Asked Eva.

" I was not at your birth my dear, Alternative held your Mum's hand when she gave birth to you..." Sighed Beyond, he looked over at Eva and smiled." I first met you when you were just 4 days old, you were so tiny with thick dark hair and the most brightest blue eyes I had ever seen..."

" Uncle A once told me I looked like a raisin when I was born..." Smiled Eva.

" All babies look like raisins at first, that's some me and Alternative can agree on..." Chuckled Beyond, he placed his feet back down on the floor and smiled." But you were beautiful to me and I felt so proud that I made something so pure. I fell in love with you the first moment I cradled you in my arms..."

" That's a wonderful memory to have..." Yawned Eva, she snuggled her face into the pillow and closed her eyes." Dad, I'm falling asleep..."

" I know, sweet dreams my little Eva..." Whispered Beyond.

" Will I ever see you again?" Yawned Eva

" I believe you'll be seeing me sooner than you think..." Whispered Beyond.
