Daphne POV

"So what's the plan?" I ask, pretty sure that Virginia isn't just walking us around aimlessly around at night,

"We're going to grandmas, she's never turned us down for staying over for a night and I think you really need it" she says, I nod at this, I have never (as far as I remember) been in a more comfortable bed than Virginia's grandmothers guestroom bed.

"Virginia…I'm scared," I say, looking to her then back to where we're walking,

"Why? Because those people called you their mother?" she asks, I nod at this,

"That…and all the other stuff, you must have noticed some of the things they said, they were from my dreams, I mean 'the nine kingdoms', that pink dust, trolls! It's all from my dreams, but you and Tony are the only ones I have ever told about them," I say, looking to her worriedly,

"I really don't know, but we can find out, but not tonight" she says, I nod in agreement. I need to stop thinking about all this, as freaky and shocking and scary as it is, I can't do anything about it right now, not in my condition anyway.

Thankfully Virginia's grandmother doesn't live too far away and has a working elevator to my utter relief, and Virginia uses her key to get us inside, I just hope she doesn't mind the stray we've brought with us,

"Hello!" shouts Virginia, carefully helping me down the little stairs; I swear from this point forward stairs are my enemy!

"Who is it?" shouts her grandmother,

"Its only me grandma and Daphne" says Virginia, her stepping in first into her grandmothers bedroom, I don't like to go into peoples bedrooms without permission,

"Hi!" she says, I hear her grandmother telling her the usual 'I thought you were your mother speech' for crying out loud woman stop talking about your daughter and talk more about your granddaughter,

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, would you mind if we stayed the night tonight?" asks Virginia, brining me into the room, I smile at her grandmother, but she takes no notice of me, talking more about her daughter, I swear she loves to hear the sound of her own voice.

Then seeing the look of disgust when she see's the dog going onto the bed, worrying over him having fleas and hurting her beloved Roland.

I have to hide a smirk, yeah me and her have never gotten along, she thinks of me as a homeless home wrecker and using Tony and Virginia for their good nature, even with me putting money to the rent and even saving them a few times with the manager, walls are very thin in some places, but it is nice hearing Tony and Virginia sticking up for me when she goes off on one.

"Right well we could do with going to sleep, so we'll see you in the morning" says Virginia, I stoke the dogs head, it looking at me as if in surprise, and I incline for him to follow us and he does, I walk it into the guest room as Virginia finishes saying goodnight with her gran, though I know she will probably be in there for another half an hour with how her gran talks, she just said that earlier for me to escape,

"As long as you get on her nerves, we'll get along just fine" I say to the dog, half not believing that I am talking to the dog but also knowing that I am still too tired to really care.

He makes a noise that I swear sounds like a laugh as I take my jacket off and shoes, usually whenever me and Virginia stay over we share the bed in here anyway, I'm sure she wont mind if I go to sleep now.

The last thing I remember is stroking the dog's head when he lies beside me but still giving Virginia enough room when she joins us before entering sleep world.

I wake up suddenly to hearing a smash, I sit up quickly seeing that Virginia isn't in the bed but I can tell she did come to bed, the dog looking at the door whining, I look around, wishing I brought my baseball bat, but hurry out of the room in time to see Virginia running to the front door,

"Virginia?" I say, she hurries over to me and pulls me to her,

"Already put your mind at rest! Now that I've seen you, eating you is out of the question, not even on the menu"

I look behind me to see a man, hang on I've seen this guy before, wait he wants to eat her?

"I should damn well think so you wont eat her?" I say, putting myself in front of Virginia, thankful that I no longer feel that dusts effects anymore after that good sleep.

"And who are you? Her protector? Well fear not I will protect her from all the evils…. wait a second, have we met?" he asks, his eyes finally going from Virginia to me questioningly,

"No we have not, now get the hell out of here" I say, watching him for any sudden movements, but only seeing him bringing out a comb the table next to him, his eyes now solely focused on Virginia,

"Well….I know this is going to come out of the blue but, how about a date?" he asks but then a broom comes to my side, Virginia aiming it at the guy threateningly, but all he does is gasp, what the heck is wrong with this guy? Its like a game to him,

"We started badly, but I take all the blame for that" he saus then suddenly coming at us, but I duck us under him and go around him, turning in time to be looking at him again, I swear I heard him snarl what is up with this guy seriously its like he's an animal.

Surprisingly Virginia hits him in the face with the broom, making me smirk, but I grab another broom just to be safe that is by the table,

"Come on, give us a chance please, but then she hits him with the other end of the broom in his private area, this making me wince, that was a bit of a low blow,

"Oh! You are one dynamic lady, there's no question" he says, grunting and holding/protecting his area, I look to Virginia and she looks to me and we both nod, knowing what to do with him, we both whack him with the brooms, throwing him out the window.

We both go over to the window, seeing that he landed in a pile of trash bags, did I hear him howl when he fell, he must think he's a wolf or something.

I start to hear something else though, a mumbling?

"Virginia? Where's your grandmother?" I ask, she looks to me but then I see her eyes widen in realisation, we look in the cupboard by the door and then she goes into the kitchen, me coming in behind her and my eyes widen at the sight, her grandmother sat on the kitchen island atop a giant oven tray tied up with potatoes around her.

"Oh my god, grandmother!" says Virginia, the both of us kicking into gear and start to untie her, I carefully take the tape off her mouth,

"Oh thank goodness! Where is that man? He wanted to eat me and stick me in the oven!" she exclaims, I help her down along with Virginia, sitting her down in one of the chairs,

"Did he hurt you?" I ask, looking her over for injuries,

"No, I'm fine, I only let him in because he pretended to be your finace Virginia, he had your photograph and these beautiful flowers, oh I thought you had found a rich gem, but he only turned out to be a maniac" she says, I frown at this, and raise my eyebrow at Virginia to see her shake her head, frustrated of course,

"How about I make some tea and we can calm down" I say, seeing the grandmother nodding and Virginia doing the same, thankful I know that tea is the best way to calm the woman down no matter the situation.

Virginia comes over after taking her grandmother to her room to calm down more,

"Ok so, we have a dog that appears out of no-where, I have three adult kids, you have a guy who thinks he's an animal and in love with you, who also thinks he knows me. And tried to eat your grandmother. What next?" I ask, stirring the tea, not looking up, I'm dreading the thought that this could be to do with my lost memory, maybe I do know these people but how? I'm definitely not old enough to have kids at those threes age, and who knows how I would know that creep.

"I don't know, maybe Snow White might appear" says Virginia, I smile at that, remembering her telling me it was her favourite fairy-tale story, but then I jump when the dog barks at the kitchen doorway at us,

"What? Not a fan of Snow White? Fine I'll call the witch and she can take you away" I say, going back to the tea, but frowning when he whines almost hysterically and runs out of the room, I look to Virginia but she just shrugs, weird dog, and just when I was beginning to like him.
