So since everyone wants me to continue on her i will! Enjoy!

Chapter Nine: Dream world

Anya

I was standing in an empty room, white walls and wood floor, no furniture, nothing, just me and some curtains hanging up.

"Anya?" I saw a lump from behind the curtain, and when it moved I saw the back of a boy. He looked out the window. And when I walked over I saw outside the window was…me. I was lying in a hospital bed, my friends surrounding me, and Vladimir.

Oh Vladimir.

Everyone was leaving, I glanced at the clock and it was 11 o'clock, they were heading home, he was staying with me. But why was I there? And how did I get here?

"Please wake up Anya, please? I love you." Vladimir whispered through the glass. He had some tear stains on his shirt. He was crying?

I looked down at the boy, and realized he was my brother, my little brother Kyle, who was only four when he died. But now he looked older, a lot older, more like 13 or something.

"Kyle?" I asked.

"Yeah,"

"Where am I? And why am I here?" I felt the floor shift into something else, the room spun and then came to a stop.

I looked around and this time we were at an carnival, I saw my family, and other families. I saw John. If this was the world of the dead did that mean…?

"John," I whispered, he saw me and tears welled up in my eyes.

He walked over and held me in his arms.

"No, please don't be dead."

"I'm not, I swear I'm not. I'm just in a really deep deadly sleep now from loss of blood, but I'm alive, if you pinch me it will hurt, if you pinch your brother it won't." He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. "I promise, I'm okay."

"Where are we?"

"This is the cross world,"

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Where ghosts are, where people like us are, people in coma's. We can watch the outside world, when ghosts disappear where do you think they go, off into oblivion? Wait don't answer that, you probably do." He laughed.

"Ana," A little whiny voice came from behind me, Kyle, and now he was back to his original four year old body.

"Yeah baby?" I bent down to his eye level.

"You have to see Ana, you have to see mommy. Mommy is very sad because of you, but daddy says she shouldn't, daddy said it was a good thing."

"What did daddy say was a good thing baby?"

"He said you being alive is good, he said that you can save us. He said that you need to kill the bad person who was let into the house."

"Tomas?"

"Yup! Look go say hi to mommy and daddy and Sarah. Look mommy is crying." He pointed a finger at her and she was, shedding crystal angel tears.

I walked over. "Mom?"

"Ana, why? Why did you stay in that world, you could of fought harder to stay with me, maybe we could have gotten out and then you wouldn't be in this much danger." She wailed.

"Mom, I tried, I tried to stay with you, but I couldn't. I couldn't reach you, I couldn't. I tried. I really tried, please believe me."

"We miss you, but you have to go back to that world. You have to kill Tomas, in order to save us. And in order to kill him you need to find Tyler, he wont hurt you but you still have to find him. And once you do, you will find John as soon as you find Tyler, no he didn't take them, you have too look around, but he is in the same place."

I nodded. "Dad, are you mad?"

"No, I'm not. Was it stupid to let him in yes, but you were under compulsion, and it is very easy to fall under it, but quit the opposite to get out of it. But do what your mother says, and I'm keeping an eye on you and Vladimir, just because I'm dead doesn't stop me from having contact with you little missy. Be careful and don't do anything stupid with him, think it through first of I will come back and haunt you. BOO!" He laughed, and I soon joined him, just like old times, always making jokes.

"You know Vladimir is a vampire right?"

"Yes, and I don't entirely agree with that, and neither does you're mother, but you love him, and we won't judge."

"Thank you,"

"And I remember young Vladimir, when we came to visit you wouldn't stop talking about him, and when we met him, we were please. I also remember that summer you came home crying, because he disappeared out of your life, and you said you loved him so much. I also remember the summer before you came home crying too, because you were forced to break up Tyler. What did he do again?"

"He said that we couldn't be together anymore, he said he was going to live in the human world, and that he might see me, and that he still loves me, but it would be hard and he didn't want me to put up with that."

"Ah now I remember, ghosts are supposed to have the best memory, but even when I was alive my memory was going." I laughed.

"Yeah dad, Ana knew that of course who didn't, oh wait you!" Sarah started to laugh really hard, and I soon joined her, giving her a high five. She was two years older then me, making her 19, but we have always been more like best friends then sisters, looking for boys for each other, having each other backs, telling secrets. Closest pair of sisters ever, and we loved each other and still do.

"I've missed you," I hugged Sarah, her long blonde hair falling over her shoulders the same way mine did. We all had our mom's hair, of course from the original Driganoria line, and my Dad simply changed his last name, but acted as if he always was royalty, with his hair dirty blonde hair always cut perfect and his blue eyes always had a hint of joking in them but whenever needed changed to a serious mood. He seemed more like it then my mom.

Kyle ran up to me and hugged my leg, his short little blonde hair moving in the breeze, and his brown eyes from my mother's side.

"You have to leave now Ana," Kyle tugged at my sweat shirt over my tank top.

"Okay baby, I miss you." I kissed his forehead and everything started to fade, the last thing I saw was John, sad.

I was surrounded my white once again and then with a jolt a went back into my body.

I gasped and my eyes fluttered open, Vladimir was asleep, and when I glanced at the clock it read 4:23.

I got out of bed, which seemed to be knew to me, like I haven't walked in forever.

I walked to the window, touching the cool glass, letting the feel of it soak into my skin, I opened it, and a rush of cold air hit me. I looked down at the street, people were still walking, but when you looked closer, you realized they weren't people, but vampirics. One looked up at me, and smiled evilly, red eyes glinting with hunger.

I gasped back in shock and walked away, two arms wrapped around me and someone started stroking my hair.

"Anya," He whispered, Vladimir.

"Vladimir?"

"Stay away from the window, please, let me close it." He started to walk away to close it, but I grabbed his arm pulling him back.

"Don't leave," I whispered.

"I'm never going to leave, not now at least." He said it fast, too fast, almost unnatural.

Not now at least. The words had more meaning, did that mean he was going to leave me?

"Ever?"

He hesitated, and looked me in the eyes, pain marked with in them. "I…I…don't know baby."

He shut the window and walked back over to me, trying to hold me, but I pushed him away. Again.

Vladimir

She pushed hard as she could against my chest to keep away from her.

I didn't want her to be upset, I wanted her to be safe, and in order to do that we had to spilt up in groups to find Tyler, and when found we would bring him to her.

I have already discussed it with everyone else, and Luna, Angel and Alexander are coming with me. I-we- were leaving behind Kat, Max, Chrissie and most important Anya.

"Anya come here," I tried to get her again, but she just moved away further. Was this her way of telling me that she didn't ever wanted me to leave her?

"Anya stop, please, come here?" I asked.

"No,"

"For me?"

"No!" She whispered screamed it, I stopped and left her alone on the bed, I didn't want her to sleep, I wanted her away, I wanted her safe, with me, in my arms.

I sat in a chair away from her bed, and when she turned to see if I was near her, she had tears in her eyes. This I couldn't stand.

I walked over and sat with her on the bed, she didn't object, but she didn't let me get any closer then needed.

I wiped a tear from her eye, singing her out sing, Breathless by Shayne Ward. She snuggled closer to me, and I wrapped my hand around my waist, pulling up the blankets to keep her warm.

"Don't cry,"

"Don't leave and I won't cry,"

"Like I said before I'm not leaving now,"

"Now," She pulled away from me.

I let her pulled away, I played with her hair, like silk running through my fingers, while I watch her fall asleep, it was basically out day, but night for humans, and rite now her time might be off. But we would still need to look during the day for Tyler, or late afternoon, in my case.

We will, tomorrow.

Next day

Anya checked out of the hospital at noon, after a few more tests done by the doctor.

We climbed in the car, I sat in the front, and was driving the car, Anya was in the passenger seat, while everyone else piled into the back.

Before I even turned on the car we all had something to discuss.

Kat looked at me and I nodded.

"I think that we should spilt up into two groups," Kat started.

"No Vladimir, I know this was your idea, I'm not stupid." Anya looked down, playing with her Ipod touch.

"Anya it would be safer, me, Luna, Angel and Alexander. While the rest of you just…well wait."

"No, no Vladimir, you didn't even have to come, I could of just left you there without a clue and ditched you, but I didn't did I, and you're not leaving me."

"Look at me,"

She kept her head down.

"Look at me Anya,"

Nothing.

"Anya," I tilted her head to look at me, and realized when she had her hair in front of her face, that she was silently crying. I gulped back the apology and giving her what she wants, and said what I said, but it just, made things worse. "I am leaving with them,"

"Then let me come,"

"No,"

"Then leave now," I looked at her, and they was no trace of lying on her face. "Either get the hell out of this car, or we will, choose."

"That's not fair,"

"You know what isn't fair, life! My family getting killed wasn't fair, me always being hunted isn't fair, and this isn't fair, so you want to talk about fair, take it up with god!"

She was upset, really, really, upset. "Anya, I don't want on of us not to have a car."

"Well then stay,"

"I can't, you know that,"

"Actually I don't know that, actually I think the only thing I know is that I should be dead!" She screamed and got out of the car, got her stuff from the trunk and stood outside.

"What are you doing, get back in." I said as calmly as I could.

"No you're going to leave, leave. I'm out of your way now." She hissed.

"Anya! Get back in the car, now!"

"No,"

"Yes, what are you going to drive in?"

"I have money!" She pulled out a stack of cash, full of hundreds.

"Fine then I will leave!"

"Nice! Leave and don't come back!"

"I will leave and I wont come back, and if I do, it wont be for you!" Everyone who was staying with Anya got out of the car, and who ever wasn't moved up, I slide into the passenger seat and Luna took the wheel.

"Bye," She hissed.

"Bye princess," She took the words to shock, and hurt showed in her eyes, but the car was already driving away until something flew into the window thrown by someone. Her ring, the ring I gave her when we first started dating, she kept it.

I looked back and saw she was in hysterics crying, and Kat was trying to comfort her, we stopped at a light and I head what they were saying.

"He probably hates me," She whimpered.

"No he doesn't, he could never hate you," Kat comforted her.

"No he does, and he wont come back, I made him really mad." She sobbed. We drove away and then the conversation was lost by the roar of the wind.

I was sitting in something, and then I realized it was her Ipod, I looked at it and saved in on of her painting apps, was 'I love you Vladimir,". I got a text in it, and looked at it.

Anya:

Good bye, love you. Please come back? For me? -A

-sent from free text

This was it, I was leaving her, and maybe for forever.
