Light streamed through the windows of my old home. I looked around, marvelling at how much more solid it looked since the last dream. Laughter echoed through the memory and I turned to see Nikolai run into the room, shortly followed by me.
I gasped, he was no longer blurry. Now that I could see both of our faces at the same time, I could see just how alike we looked.
In the memory, we were about fourteen. Two adults entered the room, followed by a little girl who looked about ten. Her bright eyes flitted over where I was standing and my heart gave a painful thud in my chest.
The two adults were familiar as well, and clear. I stared at the for a moment until I realised who they were. My father had the same hair as I did, while my mother's was darker. They both had smile lines worn into their faces, so happy in such a dark world.
I looked at the little girl again.
"Lillian," the blood covered Y/n confirmed, next to me.
I shrieked, stumbling back a step.
"Seriously?" I complained. "And since when can you read my mind?"
"Since today. I've learnt you mostly just sulk over Nik, feel extremely unhealthy levels of anguish and guilt, and obsess over Newt. Rather boring if you ask me."
"I'm not obsessed with him," I spluttered. "He's my boyfriend and I love him."
She gave me a look.
"What do I even call you?" I asked her. "I've been aware of you for months and all I do is think of you as the blood-covered girl."
"I'm known as the Wraith," she replied, distracted by watching the memory of my twin and I battling each other with pillows.
"Wraith?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied.
"That's not an actual name."
"So?"
"Nevermind," I sighed. The Wraith looked at me and then snapped her fingers. "What are you doing?"
"Speeding forward the memory to the important part," she informed me.
The world sped forward and then returned to normal.
"We're back!" a man's voice called from the other room and the boy from my other dream with the secret code bounded into the room. He was crystal clear as well. He had light brown hair and bright green eyes.
"Alex!" Nikolai dropped his pillow and hugged him. My younger self also joined the hug.
Alex?
A man entered the room, he had dirty blonde hair darker than Newt's hair and bright green eyes.
"Vince, how did it go?" my mother asked, rising from the chair she was sitting in to give him a hug.
So this is Vince.
"Did I live with Vince and Alex?" I asked the Wraith.
"Yes, they arrived when you were about five. Vince's other son came with them as well," the Wraith explained.
"Other son?" I asked but was answered when a boy younger than my little sister ran into the room.
"Dad!" he yelled happily and Vince bent down to pick him up.
"Archie! How's my boy?"
I didn't hear Archie's answer. I was busy staring at the girl that just entered the room.
Coralie.
"Why is she here?" I asked the Wraith.
"No spoilers," she replied with a smirk.
