_Chapter 4
*All conversation between Anna and Bughuul is telepathic*
Anna continues to stare at the man that the girl brought with her, 'So this is the boogieman? I see why Dylan was scared of him, he looks…. creepy.'
Suddenly, a male voice pierces through her thoughts, 'So you are the girl who is throwing a wrench in my plans? My child has told me that you wish to speak to me?'
Anna flinched, 'What. How?!' She looks into the eyes, or what she thinks are eyes, of the boogieman.
She thought that she could see a slight smirk on the boogieman's face. Seeing that smirk snaps her out of her shock, 'Your child is correct, I do wish to speak with you.'
The Boogieman's head tilted at the change of tone, 'What do you wish to speak with me about?'
'I wish to speak with you about a chance for both my brothers to live.' Anna says, staring into the eyes of the man.
Bughuul laughs at this, making it echo in Anna's mind, 'What could make me consider such a proposition? Why shouldn't I just kill you now, along with your brothers, and wait for the next family?'
Anna smirks, 'Why do that when you can have two souls, instead of just one?'
'Two souls? What about you child, are you not going to beg me for your life?' Bughuul asks, head tilting again.
'Mercy? The only mercy I want is for the pain to stop.' She says, feeling a pulsing pain start inside her.
'Pain?' Bughuul wonders, 'What pain is worth your death girl?'
Anna moves aside and Bughuul finally takes in the sight of the room, a body laying still in a bed and a machine hooked to the girl who he is talking to.
'You are a spirit?' He asks, staring at the body in the bed then to the girl in front of him.
'Yes I am; I am the sister of the boys you are pinning against each other. I am already fading and the only thing I want is for my brothers to live after I fade.' Anna states, staring into the eyes of Bughuul, 'I am also the sister that can make it very difficult for you to get the souls of either of the brothers you want.'
Bughuul chuckles, amused by the spirit of the girl in front of him, 'I am listening.'
Anna nods, realizing that this will decide her brother's fates, 'I will convince Dylan to help Zach kill our parents and you will have two souls, instead of just one.'
'What makes you believe that you could convince him, when not even my children could?' Bughuul asks.
'I have always been able to convince my brothers of everything and even in my weakened state, I will still be able to convince them.' Anna says.
'Prove it, if they both should agree to the killing then they both will live. However, they must do it before the end of tonight and they must think of a different way then what was the original plan.' Bughuul states.
'I will!' Anna growls, turning to Zach and gesturing him over. He hurried over to her and they whispered between each other.
Bughuul and his children watch in silence as they argue amongst themselves. Zach finally sags and nods in defeat, before being pulled over to Dylan, who no one realized was sitting in the chair by the bed until now. Dylan appeared to be unconscious, but Anna called his name and shook him awake.
"Anna? Wha…" Dylan mumbles, before bolting up and looking around the room, "Anna, what is going on?"
Anna strokes his head to calm him down, "I've made a deal. He will allow you two to live…"
"What?! Two! What about you Anna?!" The twins cried out in union.
"Hush, you two!" She snaps, making the twins jump at her tone and look at her in shock. Anna looks at them, then over to the staring group, before turning back to the twins and sighing, "I am already fading from this world." Anna lifts her hand to show them her hand which is flicking, "I only want you two to be taken care of and that 'man' has promised to do so."
"No, Anna!" Dylan cries, lunging and hugging her to him, "You can't leave me!" Zach nods in agreement and hugs her tightly.
Anna just strokes their heads and begins to humming to try to calm them. After a few minutes of humming, she stops and says, "Now the deal is our 'father' and 'mother' must die for him to take you both in and a different plan must be made for their demise."
Dylan gasps, "But…their our…I can't kill our parents!"
He shakes his head in denile, but Anna grabs him and makes him look at her, "They have not been our parents for many years." She says, "That man stopped being our 'father' when he put his hands on us and that women stopped being our 'mother' when she stood there, watched him beat us, then tried to rationalize it to us like it was all okay that he beat us."
Dylan's eyes widen and he flinches as he remembers all the times that his father beat him and then his mother tried to tell him that his father didn't mean it. He looks into his sister's eyes and nods, "What is the plan?"
Zach looks at Dylan with wide eyes, which widen even further when Dylan grabs his hand and looks at him with wide eyes. Zach's eyes soften and he squeezes back, before looking at their sister who is smiling softly at both of them.
