The thunder rumbled outside waking Sebastian up,he opened his eyes and much to his surprise he was in his room. The room was dark with flashes of lighting outside. It appeared the street lights weren't working.Sebastian got out of bed  and flipped his lamp switch, it didn't turn on. “Must be a blackout,” he mumbled.  He grabbed his phone off the nightstand and tried to turn it on but the battery was dead. He placed the phone back down.  “What a terrible dream that was.” He muttered. “Witches,fires,what an imagination I have, I should tell Rain about it.” 

Sebastian stretched his arms as he walked to his bedroom door, “ well I’m sure mom won't mind it if I made some hot coco.” 

As he opened the door a terrible monster pushed itself in the room. Sebastian fell on the floor and yelled “ go away.” 

The monster looked down at Sebastian with its emotionless black eyes. The monster spoke with a scratchy  voice“It's all your fault, all your fault.” it sounded as if it forced itself to speak from the bottom of its throat, its voice was like nails on a chalkboard mixed with the high pitched squeal of a kettle.

Its mouth widened and,

Sebastians breath was heavy; he had his hand on his heart which felt like it was trying to escape his chest. He whipped the sweat off his forehead. His hair was damp with sweat. He sat up,he was still in that guest room with Ethan.

Looking at the pale teen, Ethan was spread out on the bed, all his blankets and pillow were on the floor. Sebastian felt a tinge of jealousy that Ethan could sleep easily without waking up with a nightmare. He threw his bedsheets off of him and walked to a window on the left hand side. Outside there were thunderstorms, perhaps the same one from his dream.  Leaves were falling everywhere. Sebastian felt that he didn't want to stay in the room anymore. Hachi woke up and flew to Sebastian. The little creature sat on Sebastian's shoulder, he nudged Sebastian as if to ask why the boy was up so late.

Sebastian smiled weakly “ I know buddy I should sleep, come on I’m going to get some water.”

Sebastian left the guest room and walked down the hallway. As he walked he looked at the wall and noticed the photographs were the most unusual. He stared at a photo of a man with red spiky hair with a raven on his shoulder. He wore casual clothes and looked angry. The raven looked the same as Biham , a sibling perhaps, Sebastian moved past a different photograph which was all black with white dots as Sebastian looked closer at the photo it seemed to be moving.

“ Strange, I never took you for a sleepwalker.” 

Sebastian jumped backing into the wall and could feel the cold photos on his back. Julian stood in the hallway, with the flashes of lighting he looked almost like a vampire. 

“Relax, it is only me. Now I see you like the photograph of Biham my brother took.” 

Sebastian turned around to see that the previously pure black painting was now of the raven sitting on a tree branch. Sebastian looked back at Julian `` Brother?” He asked quizzically 

“Yes, brother, you may have seen him. The redhead in the photograpth.Now I was never for taking pictures but well i suppose nobody is alike even if they are kin “ Sebastian looked back at the photo  at Julian they didn't look related one bit, sebastian suspected adoption “ If you two are brothers why do you look so-”

 “ Different?” Julian interrupted, “ Well yes we do look different , we aren't twins after all.Now what were you doing walking about in an hour like this?” 

“ I was going to get a cup of water.” Sebastina said quickly. 

Julian waved Sebastian to walk towards him “ I see you couldn't sleep, I'll take you to the kitchen.” 

Julian showed Sebastian the way to the kitchen which was awfully hard to tell in the pitch black. Julian lit a match and placed it on a candle the whole room lit up in an orange hue. Julian opened the fridge, pulling out a glass bottle of milk. Sebastian sar on a bench as he poured the milk into a pot. “ What's troubling your slumber?” Juliam asked.

Sebastian laid his head on the tile table. “ I had a nightmare.” he said weakly like a timid little child confessing to their parents. 

He tapped his nails on the tile. Julian raised his head “ Ah i see, what was this nightmare about exactly?” 

He grabbed a porcelain up from a pantry located on the wall . Sebastin stared at his hands . “ I was eaten by a bug monster.” as he said it he realized how ridiculous it was . Julainj raised his eyebrows `` that is certainly something.” he said with a strange tone of voice although that could always be his accent .

“There's more, I've been having awful nightmares recently. I'm scared to even go to sleep. ``Julien poured the hot milk into the cup and handed it to Sebastian.

“Dreams can mean lots of things. This will make you sleep much quicker. Don't worry there are no mushrooms in this drink.`` Sebastian took a sip of the cup. It was sweet but hot and he burnt his tongue. The little creature flew over to Julian and examined him. The creature flew around him and flew back to sebastian. Julian looked curiously at the creature. “ How odd.” Sebastian tilted his head “ Have you ever seen a creature like Hachi before ? Sebastian asked

 “no, Hachi is his name? How interesting.” the creature flapped its wings in flight, “ now has this creature done anything? Teleport? Heal wounds perhaps?” 

Sebastian yawned, now feeling a bit more sleepy. “ Nope, so far he has been a snuggly little puppy.” Sebastian sounded drowsy. He closed his eyes as it was too heavy to keep open. Julian smiled “ ah the milk finally kicked in. come on, up to bed. ``

Julian helped Sebastian to his room and laid him  to bed. Julianed even tucked Sebastian in 

Sebastian sleepy said “good night Rain.” and drifted to sleep with no terrible thought.
