Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I need to go now. See you guys later.))

Jr. suddenly woke up. He looked around at the scenery and saw that he was back in the park on the Durandel. Sitting up, Jr. looked over and saw Alka sleeping underneath the coat he had let her borrow. The coat covered her small shaking body and the only thing coming out from under the coat was her long hair. He knew that she was probably having a nightmare, but she needed to sleep. It was better that she sleep than stay up all the time out of fear he figured.

Jr. got up and leaned against the fountain while looking up. He had the feeling that something really bad was going to happen and felt that he shouldn't go back to sleep after having a dream like that. It felt so real... in the dream it seemed as if his father was really there talking to him. "That's impossible." Jr. reassured himself, "Gaignun killed him. He's dead and he's never going to bother us again."

((I have returned! Apologies, my internet decided to be a pain and said "NO!" so I haven't been able to use the internet. Sorries. sweatdrop ))

Alka lets out a small scream as she wakes up with a start... and falls off the bench she was sleeping on. She holds her banged up forehead and whimpers, rubbing the spot gently. The everpresent link between her and Jr. conveys the fear, confusion, and worry from her nightmare, a slight pain from her fall, and no small bit of sheepishness for falling off the bench. She glances over at her brother and waves, her ears reddening in embarrassment. She manages a sheepish smile, as if to try and ignore her worries and doubts.

Gaignun stepped back too, but for a different reason. He grabs his head with his hands. "Owww....." He falls to his knees, grunting in pain.

((Might be on for a bit after this post. I get home from class around 10:00 central if either of you can be on then, it'd be great. Oh, Yakura, love the new sig pic!))

Owwie... Alka shrugs a bit and carefully gets up from the floor. She picks up Jr.'s coat, holding it close like a toddler's precious blanket. Did... did I wake you up big brother? I'm sorry. She looks out through the window at the Foundation. I had such a horrible nightmare... I'm scared, I don't wanna lose Nigre- I mean Gaignun... She looks back to Jr., and nibbles her lower lip. Promise you won't let anything bad happen to me if you can help it, please big brother? She sounds very shaken up; that must have been one bad nightmare.

Alka nods, and then clings to her brother, shaking. This dream... I don't know what it means... but I have a horrible feeling... She takes a couple of breaths to calm herself down. I.... shouldn't be so scared; it was just a dream, right? But it felt so real... She looks up into Rubedo's blue eyes, her own dark and somber, fear in them. I dreamed... that I was talking to Nigre- Gaignun... and suddenly... he, he became Daddy! And then... he started hurting me... Oh, it was terrible big brother! I-I didn't know what was happening...

Alka nods, and takes Jr.'s hand, squeezing it tightly, tighter than she usually does. Seems that dream struck a cord somewhere with her; it's got her very scared, even more than she was with Albedo. Also, when she said 'Daddy' there was an udercurrent of deeper fear; Daddy scared her. They make their way down to Gaignun's room. As they approach, Yakura can be seen walking down the hallway. ((Sorry Yakura; had to move ya for a moment)) When they open the door, Gaignun is laying on the ground, holding his head in pain. Alka rushes to him, whimpering. She lifts his head into her lap, petting his hair in an attempt to comfort him. ((Yeah, one guess as to what's wrong with dear Gaignun. twisted ))

((And with that, I'm off to class. 4 hours, yay. Seeya later on tonight maybe.))

"That girl you saw walking down the hall wasnt me. It was a ********' copy. I was here the whole time."
((DONT MOVE ME!!! YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO CONTROL ME AS LONG AS ITS ME!! gonk gonk gonk gonk gonk crying now im behind....))

Before Jr. could make the call, he looked to his brother who was calling to him. He couldn't believe what he was seeing before him. Those haunting blue eyes... they weren't Nigredo's. Jr. was so shocked that all he could do was stare at his brother horrified.
