Two figures stood over the sleeping girl. The shorter, and glowing one of the two looked at the taller, and a question mark of sand appeared over his head. The other nodded, and reached to touch the girl, but his hand passed through her cheek. He brought his hand away fast, and turned so the golden couldn't see his tears, but that motion of energy went on wasted for a hand clasped on his. The boy looked at the tiny man, and smiled softly before he looked at the girl. Then a question mark of leaves appeared over the boys head, and he looked, pleadenly at the golden man. The short one nodded, and gently sprinkled golden sand over the girl. Then the man turned to the taller and sprinkled some sand on his hand. The boy smiled and touched the girl's head. He closed his eyes, and then he shimmered and disappeared. The golden sat on a chair near them, and waited.
Everybody line up. (line up) The book is about to start (about to start) Places! The book is about to start (about to start)
"What the?" Rachel said as she looked around. Everything was white, there was… nothing. "What kind of dream is this?" Rachel sighed, and walked around, hoping that maybe she would find the meaning for this dream. And she did.
"Rachel?" Rachel jumped, her eyes wide, and her mouth open. She spun around, taking in the figure in front of her.
Tall, gangily. With black and orange hair that was pretty long, and messy. Fierce red eyes glared into her soft fierce blue ones. The boy was wearing a black jacket over an orange shirt. He was also wearing black jeans, on his feet where orange tennis shoes, and orange socks. The boy smiled at Rachel with a crooked grin.
"Long time, no see huh?" Rachel's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at the boy.
"Who, who are you?" the boy sighed, and ran a hand through his hair.
"I keep on forgetting what I look like." He shook his head, his hair flopping in his eyes. "Sorry, but Rachel. It's me." He walked forward until they were an inch apart. "Tobias." Rachel's eyes widened, and she shook her head. She took a step back.
"NO!" she screamed at the boy. "You aren't. Tobias has dirty blonde hair, and brown eyes! You look nothing like him!"
"Rachel" the boy said, and he took her hand. Surprisenly to her, Rachel didn't yank away. "I'm sorry that I don't look the same, but I really am Tobias."
"Then how are you talking?" Tobias chuckled.
"Rachel. The only reason I'm here is because of Sandy. He's spoken to me plenty of times in my dreams. But…" at that moment a golden figure appeared.
"Sorry" Sandy said with a sheepish grin. "Sarah just came in. Who knew that she still believes in the sandman?" Tobias grinned at the man, then looked at Rachel.
"See?" Tobias asked. Rachel shook her head, and Tobias sighed. "Rachel, Sandy, much like me can't speak, and he's speaking right now. The only way he can speak is by well." Tobias looked at Sandy pleadenly. Sandy nodded and above his head came an explamation mark. "Sand." Tobias caressed Rachel's hand. "You have to believe me Rachel. The only reason I can talk is because I'm in your dream. Rachel… I love you. Please you have to believe!"
"Believe in what?" Rachel asked pulling her hand away.
"Believe in me" Tobias answered. "Believe in Sandy. Believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter bunny!"
"Tobias I already believe in the Easter bunny."
"Oh…" he shrugged. "Rachel you have to believe, please! I'm real, Sandy's real. And I know what's going to happen tomarrow!" Tears were running down his face now. "You're going to die, and I may never see you again! I'm stuck here on Earth as the spirit of Halloween! You may go on to afterlife. See Elfangor, I will never get that chance. I will never see you, or Jake. Or Ax! Rachel please, I love you so much, I just wanted to see you again. To say goodbye. I wanted you to see me, because you never had before! I… please Rachel. Believe." Tobias turned to Sandy, and nodded before looking back at Rachel. "We'll leave you to your dream, but if you believe once you wake up. You'll see me. Just believe Rachel." And Rachel woke up, she looked around, and just saw her sister.
"Sara what are you doing here?"
"There was a golden man in your room! He looked so-o-o-o cute!" Rachel stared at her sister.
"Do… do you believe in the sandman?" Sara nodded, a huge grin on her face. "He gave me a dream that we were all happy, and at home and you weren't sad about Tobias!"
"Why don't you go to bed, Sara?" Rachel asked softly, caressing the small girl's cheek. Sara nodded, and left. Rachel close her eyes. "I believe" she whispered. "I believe in your Tobias. I believe in the sandman. I believe in the tooth fairy, Santa, and Bunny." She opened her eyes, and her grin went bigger. "TOBIAS!" she cried, as she got out of bed, and hugged the spirit. Tobias returned her hug. "I love you!" she whispered over and over. "I love you. I love you. I love you!" Then she started to sob. "What's it like to die?" she whispered to him. She pulled away. "What was it like?" Tobias frowned, then smiled softly. Then he doubled over, and clutched at his orange shirt, then straightened. He held his hands out and made the leaves change slowly from a human form to hawk. And then it disappeared.
"It hurt" Rachel whispered. "But then it felt like morphing, and…" she took one of Tobias' hands. "You felt nothing?" She looked up, and saw Tobias nod. Tears rushed down her face, and her arms wrapped around the boy. "I don't want to die!" she whispered. "If it means I'd never see you again." Tobias smiled sadly, and lifted Rachel's head up. Some images appeared over his head. Rachel buried her head in his shoulder. "I'll miss you so much Tobias."
You have to tough it out. Keep it strong. And deal with it. Bellatrix! Wonderful! No Mary Sues allowed!
Rachel? Dead? Bunnymund couldn't believe it no matter how many times he knew it was true, for he had watched it. Her body was somewhere in space. IN SPACE! Tears trailed down the over sized bunny's fur. He was standing in front of a small funeral he made. Attendance? Only one, him. He smiled softly.
"Gone off to the next chapter eh, you little ankle biter?" He sighed. "I guess that means no more eggs, huh?" He touched the wooden grave he created. "I'm gonna miss, ya. Don't do anything stupid where you are."
"Stupid? Me?" Bunnymund jumped and turned. His eyes widened.
"R, Rachel?" Rachel grinned and stepped forward.
"It's me bunny. The spirit of Spring!" Bunnymund smiled at the girl.
"Better than winter, I hate that Frost." Rachel smiled, before she frowned.
"Bunny"
"Yeah, mate?" She looked at the bunny.
"I spoke with Tobias yesterday. He… he's also a spirit. He probably thinks I'm in the afterlife." Bunny hopped forward and wrapped the girl in a hug. "He looked so different. Not like me. I look like me. Except maybe this red dress? And these" Bunnymund's eyes widened when he saw what the girl was holding up.
"Manny gave you a bow, and arrows?"
Oh and also I got an idea, so. This is just going to be the Animorphs getting used to life, and such. After all die I'm going to write something else. It's called Rise of the Animorphs. Which is the Pitch thing, so yay!
