"Vex. Get up. It's time to go to school." I heard Annora's voice calling my name.

"Huh...Ann...nora?" I said to her like it was a question.

"Yeah, who else would be in your house?" She said with her normal rude tone.

"I dunno, I just...had this crazy dream...I went around the region, going on A journey...then...I think I died or something..." I told her, sitting up. I looked around the room. It was my same old room. Same bookshelf, same carpet, same Lavender sleeping on the end of my bed.

"Come downstairs, your mom is waiting for you down there." Annora said.

"But isn't mom...and...I need to get dressed..." I told her.

"Just come down." She commanded.

I nodded and walked downstairs with her. I saw that everything started to get brighter. I saw my mother in a bright, beautiful room. I remember seeing this place.

"Vex, you're finally here. Thank you, Annora." My mother said.

"It's no problem, Miss Diantha..." Annora said with a bow.

"M-mom...you're-" My sentence got interrupted by my mother hugging me.

"Vex, dear. You don't need to say anything. You just need to wake up."

"W-wake up..?" I asked in confusion.

"Yes, Vex. Wake up. ...DAMMIT, VEX, GET UP!"

I woke up to see Annora being held back by nurses. I was in a hospital bed.

"Miss, he's awake! There's no need to slap him anymore!" a nurse yelled, slowly letting her go.

"I thought you would do something like that..." I said weakly, looking at the various medical machines hooked up to me.

"Dammit, Vex..." Annora said in a shaky voice. She was...crying.

"Annora...I-I'm sorry..."

"I should be sorry, Vex!" Annora yelled, bursting into tears.

"Annora..." I said, trying to get up, but the machines kept me from getting up.

"You don't need to say anything..." Annora told me, sitting in a chair near my bed.

"But-"

"No buts. I need to talk to you about something." She said, slowly moving her hand onto mine.

She's suddenly gone soft. I've never seen her get so...vulnerable before...

"What is it..?" I asked her.

"Vex...we should stop traveling. Somebody's gonna get hurt again...or die. I...I-I love you, Vex, and...I hate to see you hurt...I know it sounds cheesy and all, but...it hurts me to see you hurt...just...D-DAMMIT NEVERMIND, VEX!" She yelled before storming out of the room and slamming the door.

Okay, I was lazy again. That, and school. And YouTube. Sorry. Laziness, school, YouTube, Halloween is coming up, too. I am prepared to scare the costumes off the small children...very small children...cause I consider myself as a small child inside. I've been busy. Next chapter is coming ASAP. I can't keep promises though...AND AWWWWW THE SHIP IS HAPPENING.
