Hi! We're back! (oh, Tetra speaking btw ^_^) So, was it good? I mean, I guess if people come back to read this chapter then it was... Anyway, here ya go! I thought it was longer, but I guess not. *shrug* Sorry, but it's better than nothing! Um, yeah. So, here's chapter two, and you get to see a bit more about Dark and Death. Have fun trying to figure out what's going on, even they won't know for a long time. *evil grin*

Death - I already knooow~!

Tetra - Shut up! Stop being ahead of your own timeline!

Death - *grumbles* Not my fault you and Piper wrote a bunch more ahead of this.

Tetra - *rolling eyes* Anyway, hope you enjoy! Now, for reviews.

muney73 - Yay! You reviewed! Also, dude. Awesome. ^_^ As for your update thing comment, now I'm confused. Do you mean you read it on Piper's profile? (I'm referring to DarkWingedSoul, but Piper is like a nickname and it's faster to type.) If so, that's because she decided it would be better to put it on my profile. So we took chapter one down from her profile, and posted it on mine. If it's something else, then maybe Technus is just possessing your computer XD I'm glad you seem to like it though! ^_^ (And you should totally say who you like better, Dark or Death, while Piper isn't here to stop me... XD nah, you don't have to.)

Death - I bet it's me.

Tetra - You can't vouch for yourself when Dark isn't here to protest. Now, on to the disclaimer!

Disclaimer - DP and co. aren't mine, though I do own Luna. Reaper and Death are mine, MINE DO YOU HERE ME?! *holding them close and chanting my precious* Ahem. Dark and Alazar belong to Piper.


Chapter 2 - Memories of a Time Long Gone

Death's POV

After Alec had rolled into the table we went to check out the rooms. Luna and Danny said they had to go home, telling me they'd catch up later. I was a bit distracted though, because of him. That name… Alec… It was familiar. I knew it. For the afterlife of me I couldn't remember who, but I knew it. Then again, maybe I don't want to know. If it's in the memories I block out…. I shuddered. Damn nightmares. Sighing I shook the feeling off and walked down the hall, stopping at a door with a note labeled 'Kade'. Damn stopwatch.

I grabbed the note and opened the door, walking inside the room. Tossing the note aside to read in a minute, I looked around the room. In the closet I could see a bunch of graphic t-shirts, and in the drawers were black jeans. Ah, they know me too well. There was even a hook for my cloak. Not that I needed it. Picking up the note I unfolded it to read.

Kade,

Yes I will call you by your given name. As you can see I have set up the room to your liking. If you look you will find a supply of your Anima Sucus in the kitchen, and a small bottle in the bedside cabinet. I also request that you make sure Alec is taking his sleeping pills.

- Clockwork

Thank reapers, they remembered my wine. What? I have issues. Well, nightmares. Eh, you'll figure it out later. Hmmm, didn't know he took pills…. Sighing I got up, throwing the note on the bed, and went over to Alec's room.

"So, you need sleeping pills?" I wasn't teasing. I knew how serious things like this could be. In response he groaned.

"Kind of. But I'm not taking them." I raised an eyebrow.

"Look Alec, if you have sleeping pills, you need to take them."

"No I don't. I've gone the majority of my life without that kind of stuff and I'm fine... For the most part. And that's not my name." Well that's good. I guess. That name was giving me headaches, I knew I wouldn't sleep well tonight.

"Alright then, what's your name?"

"Dark." I grinned.

"Well nice to meet you Dark. Sorry 'bout earlier."

"Which earlier?" I shrugged.

"Uh, when I met you I guess. I guess I kinda came off as an ass. I wasn't in the best mood."

"You and me both." Well that explains… Everything. I glanced to the little table where a bottle of pills sat.

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, why do you need them?" He sighed.

"Insomnia."

"You have insomnia?" He rolled his eyes.

"Would I have said it if I didn't?" You know, I think I like this kid. He's kinda like me. Defensive.

"Point taken. Well, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." I left the room, walking into the kitchen. It was dark out, meaning I needed my Anima Sucus. If I didn't…. I shuddered. I did NOT want to deal with nightmares tonight. Grabbing a bottle I poured myself a glass and started back down the hallway, thinking.

Alec… The name was bugging me. Why was he so against it? And how did I know that name? Ugh, it was giving me a headache. It was right there, I knew it, but I couldn't think of it. Suddenly, an image bursted into my mind.

Two young kids, faces blurry.

"I'm Kade!"

"I'm Alec…" So quiet. Another child, in the back ground. A woman near them, smiling at them.

I gasped, my eyes wide. Shooting up I looked around to see I was in the hallway again, on the ground. I must've fallen when I got that… flashback. I recognized some of it. That was me, and a kid I knew? My mother had been there too… Kyra. Looking up I saw that Dark was in the hallway too.

"...Hey…." Was my brilliant comment. He walked over.

"Um…. Hey, you alright?" I tilted my head.

"Well, considering I didn't wake up screaming, I think so."

"Yeah. Why are you laying in the hallway?" I sighed.

"I uh, I think I might've fallen…" He smirked.

"And you can't get up?" I chuckled.

"Nice one. Nah, I'm good. Thanks though." He shrugged and held out a hand. Reaching up I took it, only to gasp at another vision.

"Alec… I can trust you, right?" A young me looked with wide eyes at him. We were in the backyard, sitting in a tree.

"Of course, what is it?" I looked down.

"I've been… noticing things. About me. I'm… Different from you guys." He seemed confused, and I quickly remembered what this was.

"What kind of different?" Young me sighed.

"Well I don't think I have blood. And my cuts heal fast. And when you or Jack run fast you guys start breathing hard. I don't."

"Did you ask your Mommy about it?" I shook my head. She wouldn't have believed it.

"No. I don't think she wouldn't believe me anyway." He nodded and was quiet for a moment before shrugging.

"Maybe you're just special?" I laughed.

"Maybe! Thanks Alec."

I gasped again, my eyes suddenly focusing back in reality. I was still in the hallway, Dark nearby. After taking a moment to recover, I glanced at him. He was leaning against the wall, looking down with his eyes wide open, seemingly glazed over. I tilted my head, wondering what was going on, when I realized something.

He had two souls.

Being the Grim Reaper's apprentice, I could sense souls. And obviously most people, or demons, only have one soul. I knew what two souls meant. There were very few options. I shivered, thinking of one in particular. If he really had two souls…


Danny's POV

"...So, eating at my place?" Asked Luna, watching the scene before us. My mother, Maddie, was in the kitchen, fighting off a bunch of ghost hot dogs with a bat. More specifically, the 'Fenton Anti-Creep Stick'. It was just a bat with the word Fenton on it. I nodded.

"Yeah, I don't really like it when my food tries to eat me," I said, then looked back towards the living room. "Hey Dad, I'm goin' to Luna's!"

"Alright son!" He shouted back. Then we left, not wanting to see how the battle turned out. We walked to Luna's house, and I filled Sam and Tucker in on what had happened through text. Agreeing to meet at the Nasty Burger later I put my phone up and we continued to her house.


Dark's POV

So what was that?

I dunno. Do you have any ideas?

Pfft. I don't know. Why do you think I asked in the first place?

Whatever, you're no help. I think it might've been a memory or something. Before everything started happening.

Sounds reasonable. I don't know. Take your pills.

No. I'm not taking the pills.

Take the piiiiiiiiiills! I groaned.

"I'm not taking the pills Alazar! Quit bugging me!"

Careful Dark, your saying things aloud. Don't want your new friends thinking you're crazy or anything. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I sat up and looked to the door.

Told you.

Shut up. Back to the door.

"What do you want?"

"I heard yelling. You ok?" Yelling? I wasn't talking that loud.

"Fine." I looked to the clock on the nightstand. It was late. "What are you still doing awake?" The door creaked open and I saw Death look in.

"Couldn't sleep. You?"

"Do you have a memory issue?" We had just gone over this. He chuckled darkly.

"You could say that." Um. What?

"Okay. Not sure what that's supposed to mean but okay." He shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, since you're up, Danny, Luna, and their friends are meeting at the Nasty Burger tomorrow. They want us to come." Nasty Burger? That sounds…. I don't even know.

"What time?" He tilted his head, thinking.

"Around twelve, I think." Well isn't that great. Since I can never sleep at night I'd usually sleep through most of the day. Not that much of a problem when I'm on the run but can be when I'm not. I shrugged.

"I'll probably come. Not really sure." He nodded.

"I'm sure they'll make sure we get up. Anyway, I'm gonna go try, and probably fail, to get some sleep. You should take your medicine so you can too." I got up and headed to the living room.

"Still not taking them." He shrugged.

"Your choice." Then he left. I had already showered and looked at the rest of the house so I walked into the living room and grabbed one of the books off the shelf. Clockwork had put a few there to help me with academic stuff. I never really got the chance for school so he would teach me once in a while. Seeing as to we would have to go to school he had left some textbooks for me to look over. Luckily Alazar knows a lot of this stuff too so if I didn't he would help too. Kind of odd that he does know this stuff though. He lived a long, long, looooong time ago so how in the world he knew about stuff like that I have no idea.

I picked one up and opened it. Yay for absolute and automatic confusion.

Want some help kid? You obviously aren't going to sleep so might as well do something useful.

Yeah I guess. We spent the next few hours looking at reading and math, both of which were annoying and confusing. I looked over to the window. There was light starting to shine through the blinds. I sighed. This'll be an interesting day.

Tell us if you liked ittttt! ^_^ Ok, I won't ramble. Just, please review guys! And I promise I will try my best to have SITA and Forsaken Soul updated soon.

Trivia Time!

What is the name of the ghost dog mentioned in the first trivia?

Peace!

Tetra and Piper
