The Siren and the Vampire [Raphael Santiago]

ELEVEN (CUE STRANGER THINGS THEME SONG)

(See what I did there? Anyways...)

Raphael looked at Serena. "Maybe talking about it will calm you down." Serena sighed. "It was our eighth birthday. Our parents were taking us out for a swim. We swam by a boat. Allison wanted to get a closer look. I told her not to, but she didn't listen. She swam up, and then the boat started its propellor. She didn't get away in time before she..." Serena rubbed her eyes. Raphael nodded. "And the worst part is... I feel like it's my fault she's dead." Raphael didn't know how to comfort her, so he put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure it's not your fault." Serena looked at him, her eyes watery. "T-thanks." She turned away. Maybe being stuck here isn't so bad after all...

Eathlyn walked to the window and looked out. Clary walked over to her. "I'm sure she's fine." Eathlyn looked at Clary. "I sure hope so. Otherwise I lose my daughter. I cannot lose her. I lost Allison." Clary cocked her head. "Allison?" Eathlyn turned her head. "Serena never told you?" Clary shook her head. "Allison was Serena's twin sister. She died when Serena was seven years old. They were as close as you and Simon are. Wherever Serena went, so did Allison. They were like a matching set." Clary nodded. "I assume she's never told you because she was devastated."

That night, as Serena closed her eyes, she saw images of Allison flood her head. She fidgeted in her sleep. She saw her sister get killed, she saw Allison and her. She sat up abruptly. There was just one question she had. Why are all of these images of Allison coming around now?

(Two Allison dreams in one chapter. Why do you think this is happening. Comment your theories.)
