Lucas was caught short of breath when Danni opened the door. He had thought about what he would say when he saw her but right now his mind was drawing a blank. Say something you fool! "Hi...I-I...er belive you have my kitten, he's very inquisitive." Lucas smiled lightly. Swallowing down a lump in his throat he spoke again "So...how are you?" He shuffled his feet a little his eyes averting from her gaze. She had changed but he had pretty much stayed the same in apperance anyway, her hair was shorter than when they last saw each other.

Zeebo meowed cheerfully when he saw Lucas he rubbed his small head against Danni's arm.

Danni sighed softly as Lucas broke the silence between them, and finally allowed herself to realise who was standing in front of her. It may have been three years, but his features and his voice were still as familiar to her as her own; as she watched rather than heard him speak, the memory of him pressing his lips against hers breathlessly as he backed her into the wall outside the kitchen, of her begging him not to leave her and him promising that he wouldn't, flashed through her mind, and she had to bite her lip to in an attempt to stop herself crying in front of him. He hadn't kept his promise; he'd left not a week later.

Danni managed to drag herself away from the trip down Memory Lane that she most definitely wasn't ready for just in time to notice that he seemed to be acting as awkward as she felt, and she couldn't help but smile. She blinked, realising he'd asked her a question, and was suddenly nervous again. How was she supposed to answer something that felt so personal?
"I'm... I'm okay," she said at last, fighting the urge to wince as the lie rolled smoothly off her tongue. The mere idea of being anything but honest with him made her stomach do nasty somersaults, but to tell the truth would be inviting him in further than he would want to go - further than she was ready for him to go.

She was just about to return the question when the kitten that had been curled so comfortably in her arms suddenly stirred, paused to yawn, and sprang toward Lucas, only to turn around as soon as his paws touched the cold ground outside and run back into the house. Unable to suppress her laughter as she watched the kitten dash back toward the warmth of the living room and heard Harrison's muffled complaints, Danni turned back to Lucas with a warm, if somewhat hesitant, smile playing on her lips.
"Do you want to come in? Your cat seems to want you to."

Harrison looked up as he heard the front door shut, and decided instantly to make his issues with the cat still being in the house heard.
"Danni, what is it still doing here? I thought you said that was its owner. Why didn't they take it away? Oversized rat." This last part was directed at the small tabby kitten that was now sat watching him from on top of the coffee table that had been pushed against the wall while he had been fiddling with the television set.
His sister's irritated yet amused voice floated to him as she made her way along the hall. "It's a cat, not a rat, Harry."
"Same thing," he mumbled indifferently, turning round so that he could glare at her as she entered the living room. But his disgruntled expression soon changed to one of shock and then to anger as he watched Lucas follow her into the room.
"What's he doing here?" he muttered darkly.
"It's Lucas' cat," Danni explained hastily, but Harrison's expression didn't change, and she shot him a warning look that clearly said 'behave!'. Harrison ignored it.

He rearranged his face into a cold smile and spread his arms wide in mock surprise. "Well, Lucas, it's so nice of you to visit us! It's only been, what? Two years? Three?"
"Harrison," Danni warned him, but he went on.
"But it's okay. I'm sure you've been very busy; had much better things to do. Like breaking other girls' hearts and making their siblings watch them cry for months and not get any sleep because of you, and be powerless to do anything about it." Harrison shrugged, his cruel smile widening. "So don't worry about it. No hard feelings."
"Harrison!" Danni snapped, desperation in her voice. But it was too late; the damage was already done.

Lucas steeped foreward slightly letting a loud deep growl rumble in his throat. Clenching his fist tightly he breathed out deeply before speaking calmly. " Well belive me its been hard on me too, the day after i walked out i was going to come back to apologise but by then you had already gone"

He looked at Danni when he said the last part of his sentence.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Tue Sep 08, 2009 12:49 pm

Danni closed her eyes to avoid having to watch the fight that was surely about to break out, and looked away from the pair, but instead of hearing a fist collide with a jaw, Lucas, clearly fighting to keep his voice under control, spoke. She turned to face him as he told Harrison that him leaving had been just as hard on him as it had been on her, and when he admitted that he had wanted to apologise his eyes locked onto hers. Her heart flew into her mouth, and she stared at him, not daring to drop his gaze for a second. Maybe he did care. Or, at the very least, maybe he had.

She took a hesitant step toward him, her eyes wide, but at exactly the same time Harrison jumped out of his chair and walked past Lucas, grabbing her arm and pulling her backwards.
"Don't go there," he hissed in her ear. "It's not worth it. You remember what happened last time. He's a piece of crap, Danni."
Without stopping to think what she was doing, Danni slapped her brother sharply across the face. His expression was shocked and hurt as he raised a hand to the red patch on his cheek, and although she felt extremely guilty all she could do was glare at him.
"How dare you?" she snarled. "What the Hell is going on with you, Harrison? You've had something against him since you turned him. You know how I--" She stopped herself from saying 'feel about him' just in time, and thankfully Harrison seized the opportunity to express his opinion.
"Damn right I've got something against him. He was in the way when he was living with us, and after what he put you through, he shouldn't even think about showing his face around here."
"But I want him here," Danni surprised herself by saying, but what was even more surprising was the sudden knowledge that it was true.
Harrison scoffed, and glared at Lucas, his hands balled into fists at his sides, obviously trying to restrain himself. "Whatever, I'm going out," he growled through clenched teeth and, with one final, murderous look in Lucas' direction, he stalked out of the living room, grabbed his coat and slammed the front door behind him.

Danni sighed, but the quarrel with her brother was quickly forgotten as her eyes found Lucas' again. She took another step toward him, her hands apparently confused between reaching for his and staying at her sides. "Did you mean it?" she asked softly, biting her lip in a nervous fashion. "Did you really want to come back?"

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:00 pm

Lucas nodded slowly "yeah i really meant it and i did want to come back. I'm so sorry Danni, i-...- shouldn't have left you like that i was so stupid " Lucas spoke softly his gaze never leaving Danni's. Part of him wanted to take her in his arms and not let go.

His gaze was broekn as Zeebo mewed cheerfully in the middle of Danni and Lucas. He was tangled up in some string that had obviouslly been used to tie a box together. Laughing slightly Lucas bent down "come on you" Zeebo padded a few inches towards Lucas before running up to Danni. "Zeebo's taken quite a liking to you"

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Wed Sep 09, 2009 1:10 pm

Danni tried hard to concentrate on what Lucas was saying, but she hardly dared to believe that the words she could hear were the same as the ones coming out of his mouth. He'd wanted to come back? He actually regretted leaving? She took another step forward, so that she was close enough to see the truth in his eyes, but the sudden and unexpected - not to mention unwelcome - input from his cat broke the spell. She knelt down as Zeebo ran over to her, laughing softly, and carefully freed his paws from the clutches of the packaging string.

"Zeebo's taken quite a liking to you."
Danni froze, but only for a split second, and then continued to wind the string into a small ball and push it into her pocket. "Yeah, he's a cutie," she chuckled. She stood up slowly, meeting Lucas' gaze, and when she spoke again her voice had lost all of its humour. "I guess I've liked him since he first ran into my house." Her eyes burned with intensity, and her expression was completely serious; it was clear that she was no longer talking about the kitten that was winding itself between their feet.

Danni took another step forward, not looking away from his eyes for a second, so that they were almost standing toe-to-toe. All hesitance apparently gone, she reached up to wind her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his.

Lucas's breath was taken away as Danni's kissed him. Wrapping his arms around her, Lucas lifted Danni up slowly backing up untill his legs hit the sofa. Releasing one of his hands he pushed the newspapers and bubble-wrap aside. Sitting down he ran his hands up Danni's back.

Breaking out of the kiss briefly Lucas ran kisses across Danni's neck and shoulder line.

(this looked so much longer written down of paper)

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Sun Sep 20, 2009 5:48 am

A few days passed. Harrison hadn't gone home yet, but Danni wasn't particularly bothered; he'd stormed off many times before, and she thought her time was better spent with Lucas rather than worrying about her hypocritical brother. He'd come back when he as ready, he always did.

On the morning of the fourth day of Harrison's absence, Danni was awoken by a soft mewing; once she had registered that something, or someone, was demanding her attention, she sat up to see Zeebo stood just inside her bedroom door. Lucas' cat had no problem going between their houses whenever he pleased - he always found some way of letting himself in - and, as Danni had no job and therefore no reason to get up at the crack of dawn, had taken to waking her up when he wanted feeding. Smiling softly, Danni yawned, stretched, and looked around her room. She had no idea where Lucas had spent the night, but he wasn't here, so she got out of bed, pulled on her dressing gown, and allowed Zeebo to lead her downstairs.

By the time she had fed the cat, it had been established that Lucas wasn't in the house, and Danni decided that he must've gone home after she'd fallen asleep. Despite having only been away from him for a matter of hours, she missed him, but it was probably too early to go and find him just yet. She'd have to take a shower and get ready first anyway, she decided, and that would take at least an hour; he should be up by then.
"And if he isn't," she told Zeebo cheerfully; "Well, he will be."

An hour and a half later, Danni was knocking on Lucas' front door. She wasn't getting an answer, but it wasn't bothering her; she'd just keep knocking until he hauled his lazy backside out of bed. Zeebo appeared out of nowhere and began to wind himself between her feet, complaining loudly.
"You want in?" She sighed. She didn't know about Zeebo, but she certainly wanted in. She rested her hand on the door handle hesitantly, wondering if it was locked, and glanced down at the cat. "What do you think?"
He sneezed, and that was confirmation enough. The slightest amount of pressure had the front door swinging open, and Zeebo shot through it, racing toward the kitchen. Laughing softly, Danni followed.

"Come on," she was saying as she entered the kitchen. "You can't be hungry ag--" But her voice left her as the scene in the corner of the room all but slapped her across the face. "Lucas?" she gasped, her voice hurt and disbelieving. Any sensible person would have realised that Lucas was killing the dark-haired, highly attractive woman he had pinned to the counter, but, with her judgement as clouded as it was by her feelings for him, all she could see was the boy she had thought cared about her heavily making out with someone else. "What is this?"

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Sun Sep 20, 2009 8:07 am

Lucas didn't hear Danni the first time, the only sound currently filling his ears was the woman decaying hearbeat, he had been slowly feeding of her for the past 20 minutes savouring the luxurious taste of blood running down his throat.

"What is this?"

Lucas's eyes burst open with the realisation of the voice in his kitchen. He turned to look at her wipping his mouth free of the red liquid that stained his lips. The woman near lifeless body slumped on the counter letting out a painfull and freightend groan. "It's nothing Danni, i'm just hungry that all" he said simply. Keeping his eyes on the floor he didn't want Danni to see his eyes they were so dark at the moment especially after/during feeding. A sudden thought crept into his mind "In fact...i'm sure your hungry arn't you Dan? Here..." Lucas picked up the womans body walking a few paces to Danni still being carefull to look in her eyes. Holding out the womans body to her "Go on, i know you want to" he said silkily.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Sun Sep 20, 2009 1:05 pm

Danni felt her chest tighten as she realised that Lucas hadn't been kissing this woman after all - he'd been feeding off her. And now he was walking toward her, the woman's limp body in his arms, offering his meal to her. She inhaled automatically, and the smell of fresh human blood went straight to her head; a small moan of desire escaped her, and she took a step toward Lucas, leaning down so that her lips brushed against the woman's neck.

The taste of her blood exploded delightfully in her mouth, and she gasped as she allowed her teeth to sink into her flesh. She hadn't been in the position to drink human's blood for... Too long. How had she ever forgotten how incredible it was? How had she managed to lower herself to drinking nothing but animal blood? Well, those days were over.

"It's nothing, Danni. I'm just hungry, that's all."
Lucas' words came back to her, surprisingly clear through the haze her mind had become, and something inside her snapped. She threw herself away from him and the woman to lean against the opposite counter, and stared at him, breathing hard. He had said it so calmly, as if it was an every-day thing, perfectly natural. That wasn't what she was about; despite what she was, she didn't want to be a monster.

"Lucas, I... I can't," she gasped, unable to stop herself from staring longingly at the blood still flowing freely from the bite marks on the woman's neck. "I can't. And you shouldn't. This is wrong." She forced herself to look into Lucas' eyes, knowing that her own were now just as tainted as his by the human blood in her veins, and when she spoke again her voice was firm, but sad. "You've done this before," she stated bluntly. "A lot. What's happened to you, Lucas? Why are you doing this?" She couldn't believe that the sweet, caring Lucas she'd been falling for when he'd up and left three years ago was now killing people as if it was as natural as waking up in the morning and going to sleep at night.

But it is natural, a cold, terrible voice whispered inside her head. He's a vampire, as are you. You're the one going against nature.
But she pointedly ignored the voice and went on staring at Lucas, her expression confused between furious and heartbroken, waiting to see what he had to say for himself.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:38 pm

"Its just natural stuff Dan. Its what we are and its what we need" Lucas said placing the womans body on the counter behind him. He sat down on a stool, putting his head in his hands he sighed almost hopelessly. "W-....when you left i didn't feed at all for about two weeks. I thought i could hack it by myself, and then a few days after i was walking, just walking and then this girl ask me the time. But all i could hear was her heartbeat thumping in my ears, i just lost control." He took in a sharp breath trying not to cry infront of Danni "Then i just couldn't stop i tried to wean myself of on animal blood, but theres nothing like human blood, the taste its just..." He paused again wiping his eyes "I can't stop, ive tried everything. Ive even tied myself up so i cant go outside. But nothing works" Keeping his eyes on the floor.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 2:54 pm

Danni had been tensed to slap Lucas as he brushed off the fact that he'd been drinking human blood as if it was nothing, but by the time he'd sank onto a stool, dropped his head into his hands, and admitted it had been a mistake that was now way beyond his control, all she wanted to do was hold him. Seeing him like this, looking so broken, so helpless, and trying so hard not to cry, hurt her heart; unable to suppress the sigh that escaped her lips, she crossed the room and seized him firmly by the shoulders, moving so he had no choice but to look her in the eye.

"Listen," she practically snapped; her voice sounded a lot harsher than she'd intended, and she winced. "Lucas, you can't keep doing this. I know it may not seem like it, but it is possible to live on animal blood. Trust me, I know how hard it is, and so does Harry, but look at us - and my parents. Okay, we still have the occasional slip-up, but we beat the craving for human blood. Don't let it beat you."

Her arms were around him now; how they got there, she didn't know, but suddenly she was holding him to her, running her fingers through his hair in what she hoped was a comforting way, and then she was kissing the top of his head. "You can do this," she murmured softly. "You can beat it, I know you can. You just have to want to."

And then something happened; something changed. The words that she had fought so hard to suppress from even entering her mind for more than three years suddenly sprang onto her tongue, and she knew that they meant more now than they ever could have then as she breathed them into his thick, dark hair; "I love you."

-a week later-

"Zeebo? Zeebo? Where are you buddy?" Lucas called looking under the sofa and around the living room. Walking into the kitchen he whistled lightly and tapped the food bowl. Hoping the kitten would come galloping into the kitchen for food. Danni was upstairs still asleep she had been staying with him for a few days so he could get back on track with himself.

Opening some cupboard door he had a sudden idea, for the past few days Zeebo had be traveling back and forth from Danni's to Lucas's house as often as he liked. Perhaps he had got stuck in a cupboard and couldn't get out. Grabbing his jacket and slipping it on quickly he ran across to Danni's house. Opening the front door he was hit by the strong smell of blood hit him in the face. But it wasn't humand blood....it was animal blood.

Walking up to the living room door he closed his eyes scared of what he might find. Pushing the door open his eyes met a small pool of blood on the wodden floor forcing himself to look up he fell against the door frame his hand over his mouth in pure shock. Zeebo was dangling by his tail his toes cut of possibly while he was still alive.

"Oh god" he wispered his voice breaking slightly.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Mon Oct 05, 2009 4:17 pm

Although Danni had promised to help Lucas with his 'problem', she had to admit she was starting to have difficulty with it. Just a few days ago, after he'd poured his heart out to her and admitted that he couldn't stop killing humans, she'd told him that she loved him - and had been overlooked. Perhaps it had been bad timing - though it had certainly not felt like it - but she couldn't help but notice the fact that he hadn't said anything about it. She had, however, decided that allowances had to be made on account of him not exactly being himself, and had been carrying on as normal over the last week. Consequently, she had come to realise that she was quite good at hiding how hurt she actually was by his all-but-rejection.

Danni woke up as soon as Lucas closed the front door behind him, and was instantly on hyper-alert. The clock on the bedside table told her that it wasn't even eleven yet, so why would he be leaving? And where would he be going? Unfortunately, she automatically assumed the worse - he was a recovering human blood-addict after all - and hastened to get dressed and follow him outside.

As soon as she was out in the street, she could tell where he'd gone; his scent was still strong in the morning air, as was the smell of blood. Without pausing to note the obvious distinction between animal and human blood, she raced across the street and threw her own front door open, running into the living room with the intentions of dragging Lucas away from some poor, unsuspecting victim - and ran straight into him.

"What the-- Lucas?!" Steadying herself, Danni looked up at her boyfriend, who was slumped against the door frame with a look of horror on his face. It was instantly obvious that he hadn't come here to slaughter some human. "Wh-- Lucas? What's wrong..?" But he didn't need to answer. Her voice trailed away into silence as she glanced over his shoulder and saw what might possibly have been the most horrifying thing she had ever set eyes on. "Oh, my God... Zeebo..." She reached out until her hands found Lucas; she clutched onto his arm tightly, as a comfort to him or to her she didn't know, and suppressed a sob. "Oh, Lucas. I'm so sorry."

"What for?" A deep, somewhat amused voice came from behind them, causing Danni to shriek in surprise and whirl around. Harrison was stood in the hall, having apparently come from the kitchen, holding a glass of what appeared to be blood - the same blood that both Danni and Lucas had been able to smell from outside - Zeebo's blood.
"Harry!" she cried, sounding, for a moment, almost relieved; evidently she hadn't noticed the glass in his hand. Eventually, however, her eyes found it, and her half-hopeful expression changed to one of fear. "Harry no," she whispered, taking a few steps away from her brother, still clinging to Lucas' arm. "You didn't. Please, you didn't." Her grip tightened as her eyes flashed to Lucas' face, searching him for any clues as to how he was going to react to this. However he chose to take this news, there was no way the end result would be good.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:13 pm

Lucas hardly noticed when Danni spoke nor even when she touched his arm. He felt completely numb and sick to his stomach. He only snapped back into reality when Harrison spoke holding a glass of Zeebo's blood.

Removing Danni's hand from his arm he ran full pelt at Harrison into a mirror that hung of the wall. SPraying different sized glass shards everywhere. Harrison reacted almost instanly groaning pushing Lucas into a wall kneeing him in the side and punching him in the head. Lucas hissed loudly pushing Harrison into the opposite wall throwing him onto a table smashing that also. Picking up a broken table leg driving it into his chest.

Harrison let out a short pained cry but it quickly subsided. Lucas looking at his hands getting of the ground. Looking over at Danni 2i'm sorry" he bolted out of the door.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Thu Oct 08, 2009 3:21 pm

Danni saw understanding dawn in Lucas' eyes as he turned to face Harrison, but although her grip on his arm tightened to one of restraint rather than warning, he pushed her aside as if she was totally weightless and ran for her brother. The scream that issued from her lips seemed to have no effect on the situation, and everything happened so quickly that she had no time to intervene. A mirror was shattered, a table was broken, and then, before she knew what was happening, Lucas had seized what appeared to be a broken table leg and had forced it into Harrison's chest.

For a split second, everything stopped. All was quiet, and the world ceased to turn - just for a second, but long enough to change everything. Danni stared, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, at her brother's body, lying broken in the middle of her living room floor, a splintered piece of wood piercing his heart, his eyes also wide, but, unlike hers, unseeing. And then Lucas stood up, and the world began to spin again as time caught up with itself and Danni was dragged back to reality.

"I'm sorry."
Two words. Two, simple words, said in such a way that spelt out everything and yet meant nothing. The fact that he left right after saying them probably didn't help, either. It took her a few seconds to react, but eventually Danni turned on her heel and followed Lucas out of her front door and into the street. He hadn't gotten far; he was barely across her lawn by the time she caught hold of his wrist, forced him round to face her, and threw a fist squarely into his nose. There was a crunch and a spray of blood, and Lucas landed heavily on the ground.

Cold, sinister fingers of shock crept up her spine and took a strong hold of her. Her hands flew to her mouth, and she staggered backwards as she gasped for air. She felt conflicted, confused - scared, and desperately heartbroken. Her boyfriend, who she loved beyond belief, had just killed her brother, who she had never known life without. How could she react to this? Apparently, by breaking her boyfriend's nose, but that wasn't what she wanted, was it? What he had done was definitely beyond terrible, and should probably be beyond forgiveable, but did she really want to hate him for it? Perhaps she did, but being able to was a different story; the story being that she wasn't.

"Lucas, I-- I'm sorry." She hadn't realised that she was crying until she tried to use her strangled excuse for a voice, but now she could feel the tension building up in her chest, and with a shuddering breath she released it. Loud, painful, heart-wrenching sobs ripped through her, and she sank into the cold grass as her knees gave way. She didn't know what to do, or what to say, or how to make it right; all she knew was that her boyfriend had just brutally murdered her brother, right in front of her, and nothing could ever be the same again.

nightwolf · by **nightwolf** on Fri Oct 16, 2009 10:58 am

Lucas was taken by surprise when Danni grabbed his wrist and punched him in the nose. The blow completely took him by surprise and he had to blink a few times before he came round to sitting up. Covering his nose Lucas groaned in pain lightly. His eyes looked over to Danni who had just apologized and was now sobbing on the floor just a mear few feet away from Lucas. He hesitated at first wondering wether to try to comfort Danni but with what had just happened he didnt think it a good idea.

"You have no need to apologise Dannni im the one who should be apologizing to you. Ive been such a fucking prick to you lately and i know you deserve so much better than me. And ive just scrwed that up by killing your brother. and i am so sorry if there was a way i could bring him back i would and im sorry" Lucas spoke with as much sympathy as he could manage.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Thu Oct 22, 2009 2:27 pm

Danni looked up at Lucas through her tears and struggled to concentrate on what he was saying. Something about being a prick, deserving better than him, and being sorry. She blinked and brushed the hair out of her eyes in an attempt to busy herself while she tried to quieten the insane babble inside her head long enough to make sense of what he'd said and string a few sentences together herself. Unfortunately, she failed miserably.

"Lucas, I-- I, I can't--" She sighed, frustrated, and waited a while before starting again. The next time she spoke, she certainly sounded calmer and more sure of herself, but her voice wavered uncertainly and broke at random intervals, and it was clear that she was fighting hard to keep the still-flowing tears at bay. "I don't know what to say, Lucas. I don't know what to think, what to do; I honestly don't. I'm so lost, I-- I don't understand what just happened, or what I'm feeling." She had been looking at the grass while she'd been saying this, but now she raised her head to stare blankly at a spot somewhere over his shoulder.

"I want to tell you that I hate you," she told him firmly. "I want to tell you that I can't forgive you for what you've done. I want to tell you that you can't ever fix this, and that there's no point in trying. I want to tell you to get the hell out of my life and never come back; I want to be able to wish you dead." Another, defeated sigh, and Danni's gaze dropped back to the floor. "But I can't, Lucas. I don't know why, but the thought of sending you away hurts me more than the knowledge that you've just killed my brother." She glanced back up again, and this time met Lucas' eyes, her own shimmering with tears, remorse, confusion, sadness - but most of all, love. "And I don't know what that means."

-Few weeks later-

Lucas sat staring to the tv screen "Over The Hedge" had been playing for the past hour, nothing else was on and it was pouring rain outside. Looking over to Danni who was curled up next to him. Kissing the top of her head "I'm going for a shower"

Walking into the bathroom, Lucas turned on the shower. The showerhead made a funny gurgling noise and then stopped. "Stupid thing.." He mumbled turning the tap again, steeping into the shower fully clothed he wiggled the shower head. It made the same gurgiling noise and then shot out frezzing cold water over Lucas it changed heat quickly scalding him.

Slipping out the shower he landed hard on the shower floor his head still bieng pelted by now frezzing cold water. Shivering he tried to blink the dizzyness and water out of his eyes.

Flashback thingy
"Lucas your so worthless" His father hissed as he pushed Lucas into the bath the cold water stinging his skin.
Lucas coughed and spluttered as his father held him under the water.
"Oh stop complaining you stupid boy" His father screaming at his throwing him out of the bath and onto the floor.
End of flashback

Lucas started to sob his cries probably barly audiable over the water.

DyingHere · by **DyingHere** on Tue Oct 27, 2009 5:22 am

Danni was half asleep, and not really concentrating on the movie Lucas had chosen to watch, but had been content to rest against him until he moved away from her after announcing that he was going for a shower. She mumbled a complaint but didn't attempt to stop him, instead re-settling herself with her head this time on the arm of the sofa, and falling asleep.

They had somehow managed to cover up Harrison's murder where the police were concerned, but unfortunately that hadn't stopped Danni's parents finding out, and they, unlike their daughter, couldn't find it in their hearts to forgive Lucas. Richard had even went as far as to warn them that if they darkened his doorstep again, he wouldn't be responsible for his actions - whatever that meant. Needless to say, they'd been keeping their distance. Between the two of them, however, everything was fine. Danni was still trying to deal with her brother's death, but she knew that it hadn't been Lucas' fault, and therefore blamed him for nothing. All in all, they seemed to be growing closer again.

But this didn't stop the nightmares, and now, as she slept seemingly peacefully on Lucas' sofa, she revisited her own living room for what must have been the hundredth time in the past few weeks. The dreams varied. Sometimes she was placed in her own body, with influence over the situation, but no matter how she changed the events, the outcome was always the same; sometimes she was above the room, looking down on the happenings from a bird's-eye view, helpless and alone and forced to watch every detail of the final minutes of Harrison's life without any sway over her own actions, let alone anyone else's.

The latter of the two scenarios was the one she was forced to visit now. She watched as Harrison approached Lucas and herself from behind, a glass of Zeebo's blood in his hand, and cried out for him to stop, to turn away - but her pleas fell upon deaf ears, and before she knew what was happening, Lucas had attacked her brother, the mirror in the hallway was shattering, and oddly enough she could see her own reflection in the many shards of glass. Danni knew what would happen next - she had seen it so many times - and she tried to close her eyes, to look away, but she couldn't. Another few minutes of fighting and the table had smashed, and Lucas was raising the makeshift stake above his head - and then it was all over. Harrison breathed his last, and Lucas ran out of the house.

This was usually the only part of the dream Danni felt safe. Normally, as soon as Lucas left the house, no matter which dream she was visiting, she woke up with a start, cried a little, and depending on the time, either got up and got on with the day or curled into Lucas and went back to sleep. But this time was different. This time, she was forced away from her position on the ceiling, and back into the Danni stood in the middle of the living room. She blinked, dazed, and looked around. The dream had never gone this far, so what was she meant to do now? Follow Lucas, she supposed. She went to the window and peered through the curtains - but Lucas was nowhere to be seen, and it was pouring with rain. At a loss, she looked the opposite way down the street, and stumbled backwards in shock. Standing at the end of her driveway was a little boy, around five or six, with dark hair, sobbing his heart out.

Finally, Danni woke with a start, and sat bolt upright on the sofa, breathing hard. She had no idea why the dream had taken such a strange turn, but there was something about the little boy that was oddly eerie - and oddly real. In fact, she could still hear him crying. Shivering a little as she stood up, she couldn't resist crossing to the window and looking out into the street. It was raining, but there was no sign of the little boy - and yet, she could still hear him crying. She reached for the remote and muted the television in a desperate attempt to prove that she wasn't just hearing things and rid herself of the creepy feeling snaking around her spine, but the sound didn't cease; instead, it grew clearer, and she finally understood where it was coming from.

She dropped the remote and ran upstairs, bursting into the bathroom without any thoughts for Lucas' privacy, and finding that she had been right. He was sat on the floor of the shower, fully clothed, his tears barely noticeable because of the water raining down on him from the shower head. "Oh, my God, Lucas!" Danni spluttered, scared and confused, before crossing the room quickly, shutting the water off and kneeling before him. She saw then that he wasn't just crying, he was sobbing, and she reached out for him, taking hold of his wrists. The water that he had been drenched with was icy cold, and she suppressed a squeal of complaint, but pulled away from him all the same with in order to smooth his saturated hair away from his eyes.

"Lucas, what is it? What's wrong?" she pleaded with him, her desperation to help him making her voice shaky and scared. She wrapped her arms around him and held him to her, ignoring the unbelievable cold that he brought with him and not caring that she was probably going to end up soaked as well. She couldn't understand what could have brought this on. Everything that had happened with Harrison, possibly, but wouldn't that have broken him earlier? She didn't know, but she hated seeing him like this, and so she clung to him on the bathroom floor, smoothing his hair and murmuring that everything was going to be okay, that they would get through it - whatever 'it' was - together.
