(Anastasia's Perspective)
The last thing I remember is passing out after finding Leo at the table. I heard screaming, and I could hear a voice saying everything will be fine. I could feel this warm sensation over take me, as if I was being dropped into water. I don't understand what happened. I wake up to a chilling scream, and realize that I am in Leo's room. I'm laying in his bed, and the door is closed. Leo isn't here, and there is a scratching sound in the halls. I don't understand what is going on. I open the door and fall back.
Right in front of me when I opened the door is the face of a skeleton like man. He is crawling across the walls. He looks at me fearful or something. I don't scream but I am afraid. He crawls into the room by grabbing onto the top of the door, then dropping to the floor. "Who are you?" His voice is cold, raspy, and sends chills down my spine. I stay silent but he comes closer to me. "Who are you?" He asks again, his voice sounds menacing now.
"My... my name is Anastasia... Who.... who are you?" I'm afraid of his answer, I'm afraid of him. But once I answer his question the menacing look of him disappears.
"My name is Zack, and unlike you I am not human. This is all a dream so it's possible you won't remember anything. But I do believe Leo cares about you. I am here talking to him in the real world, and here talking to you. I must tell that Leo, isn't exactly human. Trying to get close to him is like a maze with a new twist at every right corner. I do believe that he has come to want to protect you. But, since you both are so young I can tell if he wants to protect you out of the family obligation or if he loves you. He doesn't know what he wants in life, and he is detached. Maybe you can help him stay human, and the thing about Luke. When he said that Anastasia is the name of the woman who died that he loved, she looked a lot like you. After she died, he stayed away from me, and everyone here. Because of Jack he came by every so often, but never to see his brother. It's been a long time since Leo has seen Luke. Leo has lost everything, and Luke feels he lost the one most important thing in his life. Neither of the boys were close, and Luke is the most human of everyone. I beg of you please don't let them hurt each other. I have also been given the permission to protect you, so please don't be reckless."
"Ok, I won't do something stupid, or let them get hurt." I understand what is being said but now it is getting hard to hear what he is saying.
"Also don't ever give into your humanity, if you do Leo will suffer. And please don't go back to your brother, he isn't the man that you remember. He has already killed someone, and now it seems he is going to try and find you. Please, don't let him get close to you again. He is only going to hurt you." Zack looks back at something. "It seems it is time for you to go back to sleep. please rest well, and even though you might not remember any of this it is true. Please protect your self."
Then next thing I know he is giving me a hug, when he lets me go his appearance is the same but he looks like a little boy now.
"If this is supposed to be good bye than see you later Zack." I smile at him but before I know it everything goes black. And the memory of that seems to fade a little. But I remember his smiling face, and that is all that is distinct to me.
