Virginia tried to swallow her uneasiness; ever since she had found out they were being watched, she felt that something horrible was going to happen, very soon. She looked at Jet, he didn't seem the least bit worried himself, but instead was trying to find out as much as he could about his companions.

"What's your hometown like?" Jet asked Clive.

"Well, the town has some greenery, it's kind of small, but it suits me, and my family."

"Family?" Jet blinked.

Clive smiled, like this, Jet reminded him of a son, "Yes, my wife, Katherine, and my daughter, Kaitlyn."

Jet nodded, "Do I have a family?"

"Um... Well.." Clive stuttered with words, not wanting to explain it to him.

Virginia heard Clive's loss of words and butted in, "Yes, you do."

Jet nodded, not questioning any further. Virginia let out a sigh of relief as Jet began to inquire about Gallows' life. She smiled as they came to an inn, "A hot meal, a real bed, I must be in heaven."

Virginia went in and up to the counter, paying for their rooms, she sat with the rest of her friends, "What does everyone want to eat?"

"The usual." Gallows stated as Clive nodded in agreement.

Virginia turned her attention to Jet, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, can I have the room key?" Jet asked.

Virginia nodded, "As long as you eat later."

"Fine." Jet smiled as he walked up to the room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jet made his way into the room; he looked at it before turning his attention to the window, he went over and opened it before climbing through.

Jet sat on the roof, letting out a small smile as the night air blew around him. He stared aimlessly at the sky before overwhelming pain surged through him. He closed his eyes, biting his lower lip to hold back a cry of anguish. He felt emotions that he didn't understand; they were so cold; visions obscured his sight, showing a blurry figure. Before he could distinguish anything further, he passed out from pain; a long gash in his torso began to bleed profoundly.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia opened the door to her shared room; she peered in to see that Jet wasn't there; panic seized her as she looked for him.

"Oh god, where is he?" she whispered frantically.

Virginia's head snapped to the window as she heard a small sound. She made her way over to it quickly, and found that something was dripping from the glass. She placed a hand on the outside of the window and brought it back into the light of the room.

What she saw made her gasp in terror, blood now coated her once white glove, "Jet!"

Virginia made her way out the window, and followed the trail of crimson to the roof. She looked in the moonlight to see a silhouetted figure sprawled out near her. She hastily made her way to it.

"Jet!" Virginia pulled him over to her, she winced at the slash in his chest, "Jet, wake up. Please wake up." She begged, her eyes filling with tears. This was like her dream, there were some differences, but the end was the same, Jet was covered in blood.

"Ginny?" Virginia snapped out of her depressed daze at the weak voice.

"Jet!" Virginia let tears fall from her eyes; she went into her healing powers, letting Schturdark's energy flow into the wound, closing it partly.

*Wha- Schturdark's healing should have closed the wound fully, why is it still-* Virginia's thoughts were cut off by someone's yelling. She looked down to see Gallows and Clive at her window.

"Up here!" Virginia yelled, "Hurry, Jet needs help!"

Virginia took notice of the sound of scraping cloth, knowing that they were making their way to the rooftop, Virginia turned her attention back to Jet; he had dozed off. After waiting was seemed like an eternity, Gallows appeared on the roof.

He opened his mouth, and Virginia was sure he was going to yell. She gave him a cold look and put her finger to her lips, "Quiet." She whispered, shooting a glance at Jet.

Gallows sighed and walked over to her, "What the hell happened!?"

Virginia sadly shook her head, "I don't know."

Gallows sighed again, but began to roughly pick Jet off the ground.

"Careful, he's still injured." Virginia hissed. Gallows looked at her with surprise and bemusement.

"Didn't you heal him?" Gallows asked.

Virginia nodded, "I don't know why, but the wound didn't close fully."

Gallows dipped his head in understanding, and began to descend back to the window.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia looked at Jet drowsily, in the last few hours she had pushed Schturdark's healing energy to the max, exhausting her own body, but she couldn't sleep. Jet hadn't awakened since he had called her name on the roof, and her worry made it impossible to rest.

Virginia stayed up for a couple more hours, before sleep claimed her tired self.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia's Dream

Virginia looked around, she found herself in the same desert wasteland she had before.

"Oh no!" She whispered she began to run in the direction she had when she had found Jet, Virginia looked and found Jet easily, but as the last dream he was sprawled out on the ground, covered in blood.

Virginia pulled the young man close to her, letting tears fall, "Why, why do I keep having this dream, why?"

"Because, this is the only way to warn you." A voice boomed throughout the space.

Virginia looked startled as the dreamscape began to disappeared, leaving her clutching air, "W-who are you?"

The figure of a woman appeared in the dark space. She had black hair, with midnight blue eyes. Black angel wings fell from her back. Virginia was vaguely reminded of Gaea, or a dark version of her.

"I am the mother of Dreams, Nanshe." She stated, "And to protect the son of my sister, I will help you."

Virginia blinked, "The son of your sister?"

Nanshe rolled her eyes, "The boy made of the essence of this world."

"Jet!" Virginia realized quickly.

"Yes, if that's what he's called." Nanshe nodded.

"What do you have to protect him from?" Virginia asked with concern.

"The demon of my world," she stated calmly.

Virginia stared at Nanshe, "Beatrice!"

Nanshe nodded, "Will you accept my help?"

Virginia bobbed her head quickly, bowing to the entity, "Thank you."

End Dream

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Virginia woke with a sense of tranquility; she looked to see a medium in her hand. She smiled at it before placing it on a chain around her neck. Virginia sighed, but tensed as she heard another set of breath, but calmed as she saw Jet. She frowned as remembered the previous predicament, Virginia stared at Jet with a sorrowful expression, *he still hasn't awakened* she thought sadly, but a voice came into her thoughts. ~The boy will awaken soon. ~

Virginia jumped a little, *Nanshe?! How-when-*

~That's not of your concern; I'm just telling you when the boy you seem to care about so much will awaken soon. ~ Virginia could hear the amused tone the guardian carried, but her face still lit up. Jet was going to wake up!

As she finished her thought, a small groan caught her interest; she looked to see Jet's eyes open slowly. Blinking away sleep, Jet looked at Virginia with a tired smile. Virginia couldn't hold back tears as she pulled Jet into an emotional hug.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

(Innocent Chrono) Sorry if you don't like it, but I think I should only put in one guardian per story, if it's too short tell me, I would like to know your opinion.

(Evil Chrono) Flames will be used to burn Beatrice and all her evil minions, but if we kill her the story won't go on, so don't flame me!
