DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ghost Hunt!

*Mai's POV*

It felt like I was suffocating. The darkness was suffocating me, it was all around me and pressing in closer. I couldn't breath and I started to panic when all of a sudden the darkness started to fade and I felt myself fall. I screamed and landed with a loud thump on the ground. I whimpered and pushed myself slowly into a sitting position.

Glancing around I became confused by the sudden appearance of trees. Lots and lots of trees, I closed my eyes tightly then opened them again. Nope, still trees.

I sighed and pushed myself off the ground. It hurt a little but I ignored it. I jumped as I heard rustling behind me. I jumped and turned around then the rustling was heard to my left. I felt my breath stop and I shivered, I could barely see the sun over the tops of the large trees.

Where was I? How did I get here? And what the hell was out here with me? I was starting to work myself up into a panic where I heard a low growling from my right making me whimper in fear.

I thought back to what had happened before I found myself here. I had fainted! Oh no, this was one of those dreams again. They never seem to end happily. But if it's one of my dreams then nothing can hurt me, nothing can see me.

I felt myself let out a breath of relief and I stood up tall. Shaking away the fear I started pushing my way through the branches and bushes. I went in the opposite direction of the growl I had heard.

I wasn't sure how long I had pushed my way through when I heard the growling again. I jumped and my breath stopped. It's just a dream, just a dream Mai. Walk as if nothing is happening because nothing can hurt you in a dream. I kept repeating it to myself but I just didn't seem to believe it. I let out a small scream when I heard a howl coming from my right.

"Go Away!" I screamed "please leave me alone!"

I heard another howl join the first one, great! Now I was surrounded. I whimpered and shivered in fear as more howls from all around me sounded the forest.

What was going on here? Wolves? A pack of them. Or . . . or Werewolves.

I laughed shakily at myself "there's no such thing as Werewolves Mai, no such thing. Just carry on walking, just a dream."

The howling got louder and I started crying, I felt like I had no control over my body when I suddenly staggered forward and started running.

"No! stop" I tried to tell myself but nothing happened. I started running faster and I was now shaking with sobs. Salty tears were rolling down my cheeks like waterfalls. The rustling was following me.

I needed to get out of the forest. They couldn't find me, what would Mai do if we never go home.

I gasped and blinked at the thought. Why would I be talking about myself?

I suddenly felt myself trip over a twig and I heard something in my arm crack. I screamed and pushed myself up, ignoring the pain in my arm.

"Go away! You've already taken my husband I wont let you take me!" I screamed out at the surrounding trees. The trees seemed to shudder and sway as though they were talking to each other. A twig snapped behind me and I spun around and started running through a gap in the trees.

I could hear running water and I felt myself become giddy. They don't like water, I knew that. So if I could juts reach the water I could get home to my daughter. I needed to survive for my daughter.

I shook my head at the thought, I don't have a daughter what was my brain thinking? Why was I thinking these thoughts? What was going on?

I suddenly stopped running and found myself looking down a cliff and into a rushing river. I glanced behind me and noticed large shapes stepping out of the trees. I was trapped I had no where to go. I screamed in frustration and looked at the sky noticing the setting sun.

The setting sun that was glowing red over the landscape, covering me in warmth and a sense of peace. I took a deep breath and looked back at the creatures.

They were larger the a man, a lot larger and they were on what looked like two paws. Their bodies were covered in fair and by the time I glanced at their faces I was crying and screaming hysterically.

"You can't have me! I won't allow it! You can't keep doing this! Someone will stop you, you monster!" I screeched at them but they only took slow steps forward making me back up to the edge of the cliff. I glanced behind me and down to the raging river before back at the creatures.

Death by drowning or to get eaten by those things and become one. I glanced behind me again and nodded, yeah not much decision there. Glancing up at the sunset I whispered "I'm so sorry Mai, please forgive me" this time the scream that came from my throat was mine. I was back in my own body and I was to the side of the cliff. In between the creatures and what I now knew to be my Mother. I saw her long dark brown hair fly behind her in the wind and then she was jumping. She was jumping of the cliff and towards the river.

I screamed again and ran to the edge of the cliff "No!" I was shaking with tears as I saw my Mother fall to her death. I screamed over and over again in rage, in loss and in fear.

I stood up and hesitantly turned around, if this was a dream they couldn't see me. I turned around and screamed when I was face to face with one of the monsters. Their teeth were so large and some had blood dripping from their large mouths. I felt myself freeze and start to hyperventilate on the spot.

One of the creatures opened their mouth and I stared with wide eyes frozen to the spot. Instead of biting me though it spoke in a raspy voice that sounding as though it was choking "we'll be seeing you soon Mai!" It lifted up its paw as though it was about to stroke my face then suddenly he swiped. I screamed as its claws dug into my arm and scratched me. I didn't stop screaming as blood poured from my arm and he lifted his paw again.

Before he could attack me again I stumbled back and lost my footing. Falling over the edge of the cliff and down to the river. It suddenly felt like a higher cliff as I was falling towards the water. I screamed and squeezed my eyed shut, holding my blood stained arm to my chest.

Before I could reach the water I felt myself fall into someone arms.

"Mai"

"Mai, please wake up look at me"

I warily opened my eyes and found myself face to face with Gene. "Gene" I whispered and he nodded, his face showed nothing but concern and fear. "Did that really happen? Was that really what happened" my voice was still a whisper but for some reason I didn't want to speak any louder.

His already pale face seemed to lose more colour "I don't know Mai, I really don't know".

I smiled slightly and he helped me stand up, I gasped when I noticed the four deep scratches that reached from my wrist to my elbow. Blood was flowing out of it but I couldn't feel any pain.

"Is that real?" he nodded "Huh" I said in shock "I don't feel any pain".

He smiled slightly "you won't here, but when you wake up. It'll be pretty bad Mai, the pain. It will hurt a lot".

I nodded but wasn't really paying attention "I met some one today, he looks just like you. I thought he was you but there's something different about the eyes, his were so cold. Emotionless." I paused and his eyes widened before he smiled in excitement.

"Really?" I nodded and smiled altogether forgetting my bleeding arm and my dream. "Can you get him to visit me, my body I mean? I think it's my brother Oliver, he must be looking for me. He's the twin I told you about. Will you please get him to come see me, maybe if he touches me I might wake up, kind of like how twin telepathy works. I'm not sure if this will work but I don't want to miss this chance". I smiled and nodded.

"He's your brother of course he'll want to come visit you and he'll try everything to wake you up" I sighed and looked down at my arm. "Not looking forward to the pain".

He smiled sympathetically and pulled me into a hug "thank you Mai, for everything".

I frowned and looked up at him "you make it sound like goodbye".

He smiled sadly "I don't know what I will remember when I wake up, I hope I remember you but if I don't please don't feel hurt".

I gulped back the sob and blinked away the tears that wanted to escape before giving him once last squeeze and pulling away. I didn't look up at him, I just closed my eyes and welcomed the darkness this time. I was sick of the heart break, sick of losing people.

A lone tear escaped as I fell into darkness.
