It's been a few days since the trial and uncle Mark was out to the store. My birthday was today and I was wondering what uncle Jack was doing. It's fall so it's getting cold out. Uncle Jack is in the kitchen with Sam and Tim. His arm is healing nicely so soon he won't have to keep wearing a bandage 24/7. Then there's a knock at the door and it startles me as I sit in the chair next to door in the family room reading.
"Vicki do you mind getting that? We're a bit preoccupied cleaning up in here." I hear uncle Jack ask from the kitchen.
"Yeah, no problem." I call back, unsure he heard me until he said thanks.
When I open the door there is a woman standing there, Red-haired like me but with much straighter hair, Blue eyes more intense then my green ones, and her face shaped a bit like mine with a smile on her face. She seems familiar but I can't seem to place who she is.
"Uh, uncle Jack could you come here a sec?"
Jack's POV~
Vicki asks me to come to the door after opening in and staying silent a minute. When I come to the door I see Mark's step-brother's girlfriend from our wedding.
"Jesse? What are you doing here?" I ask her.
"What? Am I not allowed to see my husband's family?" She asks me.
"Wait, you and Charlie got married?"
"'Bout two years after you and Mark did. Why are you so questioning?"
I look quickly at Vicki and back to her.
"Do you know what happened to the last in-law that stepped onto our property?" Mark's voice resonated from behind her making her jump.
"Mark! How could you? You scared me!" She joked.
"How am I supposed to treat the only sister I have, In-law or not?"
"How 'bout inviting me in?"
"Hmm, I dunno. Jack?"
"Let her in ya goof!"
She comes in and smiles vibrantly at me and Mark. Tim and Sam peek in and instantly hide behind me and Mark.
"You boys are getting to old to keep hiding behind us." Mark chuckles as I steady myself.
I look over to where Vicki was and she is no longer there, instead I see her hiding behind a chair rocking back and forth mumbling something. I can't make it out very well but it sounds as if she's saying "please wake up. . . . . . . . please wake up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . not again. . ." over and over again.
"Vicki, you okay?" I ask as I bend down to hear her better, resting a hand on her shoulder.
She looks up at me with pure terror in her lime green eyes.

"Please tell me this is a dream."
"Vicki, it's not a dream. What's got you so spooked?"
"Don't let her take me!" She yells in fear.
Everyone turns to us, stopping the introduction of Sam and Tim.
"Take you? Why would I take you? I'm just here to say 'Hi' before I go see Charlie and our baby I haven't seen since I left to finish Chinese schooling." Jesse protests.
"My dad is DEAD! Who are you? Why have you come from my dreams? And WHY ARE YOU HAUNTING ME?!?!?!" Vicki nearly screams.
"Vicki, calm down. She probably doesn't know who you are and you aren't helping us explain."
"Charlie's dead?" Jesse asks.
I sigh and explain to Jesse that Charlie died and his dying wish was for Mark to take care of Vicki. She sits down and sighs rubbing her temples.
"I should have listened to my fathers when they said getting too close to Mark's personal life and falling in love with a mortal man was dangerous."
"What?" Mark hissed at her.
"Darkiplier, Antisepticeye, you know them, yes?"
"They've dragged us though hell and back." Mark was starting to guard Tim and Sam.
"And they've also saved your asses a few times."
I pick up Vicki when I see the green and black smoke enter the room. Slowly two figures walk in, Dark and Anti.
"See Darky, I told you she would come here." Anti says.
Dark doesn't speak until he looks at Vicki in my arms.
"Vicki, our granddaughter, how nice of you to join us." Dark says in a calming tone.
"You BASTARDS! You knew this would happen!" Jesse steps in front of us with a blue aura imiting around her.
"Now calm down Jess, we didn't mean to come here in harm. We just want you back home." Dark says even more calm.
"Back home!?!? That hell hole is not what I'd call a home!"
"Dark, you better leave before one of us gets out of hand." Mark says as he pulls me and Vicki next to him.
"Mark, you know we can't until we get what we came for."
"You knew where I was? I took every precaution for you not to find me!"
"As soon as you stepped into this house you told us where you were. Now please, come home. We can protect you from mortal tragedies, and we can help you raise Vicki. I'm surprised that she doesn't know about us." Dark said resting his hands on Jesse's shoulders.
"You are the demons from my dreams. The demons haunting me every night I sleep." Vicki says clinging to me.
He sighs."Yes Vicki, we are and we are sorry for that. We had to give you those dreams to keep you contained, so that you wouldn't get out of hand. But actually seeing you apart from your dreams we can see that that was a mistake."
"What giving me nightmare that the only people that actually love me die? Killed by the woman who is supposed to be my mother. Was that the mistake you made?"
Dark and Anti look at each other in confusion, as if that's not what they were talking about.
"What you didn't send her those nightmares?" Mark questions.
"We wouldn't send those nightmares to a child, let alone our own granddaughter!"
"But I have these nightmares every night." Vicki says looking at me as Anti starts to pace.
