I looked around the forest curiously. I knew I was dreaming. I saw a small boy walking beside me, he had short blonde hair and large eyebrows. I watched as he chased a small rabbit. Then a creature with long, razor sharp claws growled and started chasing the boy.
The boy screamed in fear and ran as fast as he could away. The creature eventually cornered him. The boy began crying and calling out for someone named Allistor.
A girl jumped down from a tree, she had long hair the color of milk chocolate and eyes to match. She held what seemed to be a large curved scythe. She looked no more than 12 but her eyes held a strange fierceness as she attacked the strange creature.
That's when i realized the girl was me. The creature managed to claw the girl's stomach badly before retreating. The girl groaned in pain, "Stupid Rake...." she mumbled and looked at the boy, "are you ok?"
The boy just nodded. He was trembling badly.
"Don't worry, he won't come back," she said with a soft smile, even with the pain obviously showing in her eyes, she looked like a mother trying reasure her child after he had a nightmare. She carefully picked up the boy after sheathing the scythe on her back. "My name is Alex, what's yours?" she asked as she smiled.
"A-Arthur," he said.
"Arthur? I like that name," she said as she carried the boy out of the forest.
When they reached the house, Arthur opened the door with a key hidden in his cape. The girl collapsed after getting through the door.
I heard a strange echoing of Arthur's voice as I woke up.
I looked around at the room, I took a deep breath and stood up. I walked to a large mirror and took off the shirt I was wearing. Sure enough there were three long scars across my stomach. I sighed softly and someone walked in. This person had green eyes and brownish hair.
He blushed as he looked at me and turned away, "s-sorry about that, I-I didn't know you were awake..." he said.
"It's ok, who are you?" I asked.
"So Allistor wasn't kidding, I'm Dylan. Your second oldest brother," he said as he smiled kindly.
I put my shirt back on, "it's nice to meet you," I said as I smiled.
Allistor walked in and smiled at me, "good, you're up. Come on, you need to eat, you are way too thin."
I nodded and began to follow both boys, alin what I believed to be the dinning room there were two more boys, one with reddish brown hair and the same green eyes as the other two and one with short blonde hair and large eyebrows. I recognized the latter as Arthur, the child from my dream, but he didn't look like a child any more, he looked at least 16, if not older.
Arthur noticed me first and hugged me tightly. I winced slightly and hugged him back as best I could without hurting myself.
"Do you remember me?" Arthur asked.
I shook my head slightly, "Only what I saw in a dream," I said.
Arthur nodded and stepped back.
The other boy just waved at me and continued eating.
I waved back and sat beside Arthur and Allistor. Dylan went into the kitchen and came back with some food and tea. I slowly ate, I wasn't sure when the last time I ate anything but judging by how hungry I was it had been a while ago. After everyone had finished Allistor took me into town, he took me to places he said I always begged him to take me to before I went missing. I listened for a while then my head started to hurt and all I could hear was a strange static sound, like an old radio that wasn't on a station. I fell to my knees and started screaming.
Allistor knelt beside me and tried to digure out what was wrong. Eventually I passed out.
