Chapter 5

That night I woke up in a cold sweat. I just had a bad nightmare. My dream was about something that happened in the past. I was there. I think I was six at the time. Duo was in my dream too. We were playing frisbee in this beautiful field, and Duo through me the frisbee and I missed it. It went far away and landed in a bush. I was running to the bush to get the frisbee, but a man grabbed me. I started to scream, but I was knocked out. That's when I woke up.
I needed to get some air, so I got up, and quietly went outside. I found a pond with a little dock. I went and sat at the end of the dock and started to think. Was that little girl in the dream me? Is Duo really my brother? Somebody put a hand on my shoulder and made me jump. I turned around and Duo was standing there.
"You ok? I saw you coming out here, so I thought maybe I could join you."
"Im fine I think. I just had a bad dream and needed to clear my head. You were in it too."
"Really? What happened?" Duo asked. I told him what had happened in my dream. After I told him, Duo had a puzzled look on his face.
"You know, I had a dream like that too. We were playing, and you disappeared. Just like that. When you and Angel came here I thought nothing of it...you looking like me and all. Yeah I may have said that you kinda look like me, but I really didn't clue into the fact that you are my sister. I'm glad your back Joey. I've missed you!" Duo reached over and gave me a big hug.
My head was spinning so fast that it hurt. My memory was coming back to me. I remember things like when the Maxwell's took us in. Father Maxwell gave his name to Duo and I. We lived in the church with the Father and some Nuns.
"What happened to Father Maxwell?" I asked.
He died. They all died. I left to get Deathscythe, and when I came back to the church, it was destroyed. Father Maxwell and the Nuns were all dead. After that, I lost it. I tried to self-deactivate the Deathscythe but couldn't do it. I kept thinking that maybe you would come back...and years later you did. I'm glad that we found each other again. God must have done something to bring you to me."
I had tears running down my cheeks. Duo rubbed them away. I hugged him again, and the last thing that happened, on that beautiful night, was that I fell asleep in the comfort of his arms.
