I woke with a fright. My heart was beating, my breath was unsteady, and my hair was sticky with sweat. I felt soft cushions under my hand and a blanket. I quickly got out of the bed and started searching for a door. When I felt the medal of the knob I carefully opened it and a bright light shone in my face. I squinted from the blinding light.

"What are you doing?" the voice spoke in a whisper.

"I am trying to get a drink of water." I spoke sarcastically. "What do you think I'm doing? I am trying to figure out where the hell I am."

"Shush," the voice said. "Stop shouting! You're in Anthern's house and he is sleeping so if you mind being quiet."

"Dimitri?" I asked I knew that voice from somewhere.

"Yes it's me. Now could you please get to your room and go to sleep?"

"If you come to my room with me then I will." I still wanted to know what was going on.

"Fine." He motioned for me to go to my room and when the velvet purple door flung open, and when Dimitri turned on the lights a dark room was in front of my eyes. The ceiling, walls, and carpet were all purple-velvet. My feet were so comfy the way the carpet felt. The black double king's sized bed with, guess what, velvet cushions and covers was on the east wall, with the huge 6ft. window on the north wall. The whole east wall was filled with books reaching from the ceiling to floor, and the room was about 15ft. high. A big black soft rug was in the middle of the whole room with a little statue of a woman holding her hand up to cup a cloud. On the south wall to the right of the door close to the library was a computer and stacks of five books.

"Okay this is so not my room." It just couldn't be.

"Well it is now. It was Kirsten's are last Dream Keeper. She decorated it herself. I hope you like it." I looked at the bed where I pulled the covers when I got out of bed. I looked in the corner of the east wall and black double doors were there. I ran over and opened them and right inside was about a 10ft. high walk-in closet. It took me five seconds to run, yes I said run, to the whole other end of the closet. It wasn't just regular clothes, on no, they were gothic clothing. Like something you would see on a mythical creature. There were draws and racks and shoes and bags and accessories and dresses and freaking everything. HOLY CRAP!!!!

I ran back out of the closet and into Dimitri's arms.

"This is not even funny. If you're just making a joke and it's all a hallucination, I will kill you when I wake up." I threatened. Water was streaming from my eyes.

He chuckled, "I am glad you like it." He hugged me tightly and I smelled his earthy smell. Like if you walk into a forest in the early morning or into a flower bed, it was that kind of smell.

We hugged for about fifteen minuets, and it was easy. Not awkward, but easy. I had to be the one to let go. I walked over to the bed and plopped on down and motioned for him to sit by me. I sat crissed-crossed while he took off his shoes and sat identical to me.

"So tell me everything."

"Where would you like me to start?" Dimitri asked.

"Ok let's start with the statue. Who is that?" I asked.

"That is our Goddess Nyx. She the mother of us all. The reason that she is holding a cloud is because you're a Dream Keeper. I am a Feeler and she is holding the sign of emotions, but my room isn't purple its blue velvet." Wow, I have got to see his room.

"What's a Dream Keeper?" I asked.

"A Dream Keeper is the seer of all dreams. No one can see other humans and Immortals dreams, but you. That computer over there," he pointed to the black computer. "Is how you can look people up, Kirsten made the computer, and don't think its out of date, you can get the internet and everything on there, and it's very fast. Only you can use it because only Dream Keepers have the password."

"I don't know it." I said.

"You will know it when it comes to you. I don't even know it." Well crap.

"What's with all the books?" I asked.

"Well the big case is for your research, and the ones on the computer desk are your school books."

"WHAT?! I have to take school again." I yelled.

"You're going to live forever, so yes you're going to take school on Immortals and Nyx." Ugh!

"Okay, so tell me more. Who is Kirsten and why was she last Dream Keeper?"

"Actually you're the last Dream Keeper. She was the last Dream Keeper before you. When she died we thought all of the Dream Keepers went extinct, but when we looked at her computer she put a message saying "Tessa Clifton will be the next Dream Keeper" We didn't know how she knew, but she did."

"How did she die?"

"The Immortal Disease, the Healer is trying to figure out how to cure it."

"Wait a Healer? Is that like a doctor?" I asked.

"Kind of, but in stead of curing with medicine, he cures with his bare hand, except for the Immortal Disease. Only an Immortal can get it, and no one can cure it." Poor, poor Kirsten.

"When did that happen?"

"About 65 years ago."

"You weren't kidding when you meant forever. So how old are you?"

He frowned.

"You don't have to tell me."

"I am 157 years old and still going." I smiled, he didn't.

"Why are you sad?" I asked.

"I think that's enough questions for today. It's time for you to go to bed." He almost forcefully lay me down as he pulled the covers over me.

"Good night Tessa."

"Night Dimitri, you're going to tell me more in the morning right?"

"Yes we are going to have a lot of time for your questions." He walked to the door turned off the light and shut the door. The only light was the light from the moon through my window. I quickly fell asleep.
