The Forest of Dreams is a huge forest that surrounds both the maze and the school. The forest has magical powers. It makes dreams come true for anyone who dares to wander into the forest and fall asleep there.

Jasper had flew over the maze to get to the forest. Somehow he felt his body grew heavy when he was in the air, and he guessed that a spell or something kept students from flying over the forest.Jasper had walked into the entry of the Forest of Dreams within a few minutes. He was breathing heard because he was hoping to avoid Fiona in case she had already got wind that he had decided to leave the school.

Stopping at the entry, he looks up at the huge strange trees that seemed to emit an funny energy. This place is so..strange. Yet it seems peaceful too. I better not stand here longer than I need to. Jasper goes on to walk into the forest. He had heard that the forest had lead to the outside world.

Fiona hurried to climb through the hole she'd burned in the final hedge. When she came out, she gaped at the forest. It looked relatively normal, but it sure felt strange. She could see someone up ahead of her and hurried to catch up to him, certain it was Jasper.

"Jasper?" she called out once she'd gotten closer to him, about twenty yards away.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
Jasper stops in his walking. I didn't expect her to be this quick for a human. She must be a true master of wind. Jasper lets out a breathe and he turns to Fiona. "Go back. You're be safer that way, Fiona" Jasper averted his eyes to the side. He knew his words were useless and would not be enough to stop Fiona from trying to try him.

"No. I won't go back." Fiona walked over to him, coming to a stop in front of him. "Look at me, Jasper. You can't let him chase you away.

"Please, Jasper, stay. For me." She stepped close and put her arms around his neck. "We've just found each other. Don't leave me," she whispered. She pressed herself to him. "I know you want me. We can be together. I don't care what anyone thinks, just so long as we're together."


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
Jasper shifted his eyes back to Fiona's face at her asking him too. It did pain him to hear her softened words to him. He encircles Fiona in his arms after she reached for him. "Staying means risking everything I want to keep safe...I want you safe. I don't want Draven to harm you" Jasper leans over to hug her close.

The magic of the Forest of Dreams begins to response to Jasper's unsaid desires, emotions, and wishes without the awareness of the two.

"I... I guess I can understand that. I don't want anyone to hurt you either." Draven, on the other hand, can someone please hurt him? Please, universe, let someone hurt him.

Fiona looked up at him, looking into his eyes as if searching for something. She leaned up and into him, then kissed him soundly, right on the lips.

"If you must leave, please do me a favor first.(view spoiler) Please, baby."

Jasper leans in just as she leaned forwarded to kiss him pressing his lips against hers holding the kiss a little firm and longer. He pulls back a little to looks into her eyes, only to kiss Fiona again closing his own eyes. He raised a hand to lift her chin a little, before returning the hand to encircle her waist. Jasper started to pull back to hold off his emotions, but he didn't want to, or rather a huge part of him didn't want to. He deeps the kiss opening her mouth with him.

The forest seemed to grow very green lust grass instantly. The trees even become or beautiful even, but Jasper neither noticed nor feel the shift in the scenery around them. The forest becomes more of an magical dreamlike forest world that seem to be made just for the two.He goes on to lower her the ground still lip locked. He breaks the kiss to catch his breathe and looks loving into Fiona's eyes. "I love you, Fiona"

Fiona moaned into the kiss, enjoying the fact that he seemed as eager for this as she was. She grinned when he said he loved her. "I love you, too, Jasper," she whispered up to him. (view spoiler)

She used her hands where they were linked behind his neck to pull him down closer to her. (view spoiler)

Jasper smiles warmly to her request. "I want nothing more than too"As if like magic Jasper was aware that their bodies were one with nature as if they were the only sole creatures that existed among the trees and grasses. Jasper moves his body in synch with Fiona's as they lay in the grass. He returns to kissing Fiona.

"I won't let him kill you, Jasper. I won't let anyone or anything tear us apart." I'll kill him if I have to, but I won't let him hurt you anymore. She gazes into his eyes, tears starting to fill her own.
She didn't see the blood red eyes behind her lover's back, so focused was she on his beloved face.


The effects of the Forest of Dream release spores had begin to loose power as one of the hosts, Jasper, had begin to awake from the illusion. The forest slowly returns to it formal natural looking form.

Jasper was feeling drain as if he was dying for the second time. It felt as if his heart was trying to enter a resting state but the jerk back into the real world had prevented his descend into the afterlife.It felt like his heart had started to beat again and rapidly as it became harder to breath a little. His arms loosed their strength and he releases Fiona. They had been holding each other this whole time. He drops to the forest floor to catch his breathe.

(Sorry for the wait. I was talking to a friend...)

((No problem. Don't forget to post in the maze for Phrixus. ^_^ ))

Fiona looked around in confusion. Hadn't she and Jasper just made love? So why were they both fully clothed? She groaned; it had been a dream!

She rolled over to face Jasper, putting her arm around him. "I just had the most amazing dream," she whispered. She smiled at him.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
"A dream? No that could not have been a dream.." Jasper finally recovers from the effects of the forest. "That's impossible. It all feel so weird. I sure we.." He trails off and looks at her. He shakes his head in disbelief. He brow furrow and he presses his lips together. "Fiona, did you..I mean I dreamed that we-I told you that I loved you" Jasper looks as confused as she did.

*************

Phrixus reached the entry to the Forest of Dreams. He stops to admit the forest itself. This forest is very magical. It doesn't seem the negative energy has reached here yet. Could the Maze be protecting this place? If so, how much longer can the Maze hold up against the dark energy? Phrixus just stood at the entry-he neither moved forward nor did he turned backward.

Fiona nodded, smiling widely. "I dreamed that too. You said you loved me, I told you I love you, then we made love. Right here, under this very tree. But it was just a dream," she said with a soft sigh. (view spoiler)

"Did you mean it?" she asked in a soft whisper. "Do you really love me?" She couldn't help the hope shining in her eyes. She wanted so much to be his.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
"I-"Jasper debates inwardly on whether to confirmed his feelings or not. It was a matter of whether he feel he could really have a health relationship with her, and maybe not disappoint her maybe. "I do mean them. I do love you, Fiona" Jasper pulls her to him "But I can't be sure if I could be there for you. What if I disappoint you? And I don't want to change who you are just because of what I am"


message 23: by Lura, Dean (new)

Lura (luraj2612) | 2700 comments Mod
"You won't disappoint me, Jasper. I love you, too. I want to be with you, no matter what. I..." she paused briefly, debating whether or not to actually tell him this bit. "I know you are my destiny. My soul mate. I only suspected so before, but after that dream, I know it. It felt so right between us, so perfect it can't be anything else."


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
Jasper couldn't help the small laughter than broke through his lips. "Soul mates? I'm truly and sorry Fiona, but I don't believe in such a thing as 'soul mates'. My feelings for you are strong..stronger than I care to acknowledge, but I can't believe in a myth such as 'soul mates'." Jasper moves to sit up "You are the only person I have taken an interest in since the transformation.."Many female, and some men, vampires have tried to temp Jasper in the past all to no avail. Jasper was convinced that he would never find another-that somehow this was his punishment for whatever he had done to get turned into a vampire.

Lura (luraj2612) | 2700 comments Mod
"Soul mates are not a myth," Fiona insisted as she sat up beside him. "My parents were soul mates. The women in my family never have clear dreams unless those dreams are about their soul mate." She looked down at her lap briefly, then back up into his eyes. "I was sixteen the first time I dreamed about you. That's why I felt like I knew you already when we first met yesterday. I'd been dreaming about you for two years.

"I know it sounds crazy. Maybe it is, I don't know. But I do know that you are my soul mate. If that makes me crazy, so be it." She'd never told anyone about those dreams before. In fact, she hadn't been sure he was the same Jasper she'd dreamed of for the past two years until she woke up just a couple of minutes ago. Now, though, she was certain.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
(Ooo nice touch)

"Dreaming about me." Jasper shakes his head "That can't be it. No one can dream about someone they never knew. It doesn't makes sense. Saying someone is your soul mate doesn't make sense either. Two years ago, I was on the other side of the planet. I never meet you nor was I thinking about meeting you." Jasper was confused by the type of family she may have came from. In some of his readings, he have heard of families who were able to see the future briefly, thou he didn't think that Fiona had came from that family.

Jasper smiles, "How about we save this conversation for a later one. I just find 'soul mates' hard to believe in, but how did you know it was me? I mean what did I say in your dreams?" Two years was a long time to be dreaming about him, and he was curious as to what she saw of him or did he speak to her.

((Thanks. ^_^ ))

"I know it was you because it looked like you. And you said the same things you've been saying since we met. About how we can't be together, and calling yourself a monster, and not wanting to hurt me. Pretty much everything you've said, much of it word-for-word. That dream we just shared was pretty much identical to the last dream I had about my soul mate, just three weeks ago. The location was different; in the first dream, we were in a bed and not a forest. Otherwise, it was all the same."

She smiled sadly at him, knowing he didn't believe her yet. It would take him a while before he did believe. It always did. Mama had told her about the dreams as soon as she turned twelve, as they sometimes started that young, depending on when you would meet your soul mate. Mama's dreams had started at twelve; she'd met Papa when she started high school at fourteen. Two years prior to the first meeting was average for when the dreams would start.


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
Jasper found himself blushing slightly at the fact that he had said the very same thing in her dreams. "So that's why you were persist at least" He wasn't annoyed by her dream and she knew what he would say before he did, but, shockingly he found comfort in his dreams instead. "Then do you know-about them then"

Jasper bends his right leg, and he hugs his knee to him. "Did you ever have a dream about me telling you about them-my family. My human family" Jasper leans his head on his upright knee and he was facing her with a semi-sad smile.

*****************

Draven, in the mean time, was making his way toward the Forest of Dreams. He was seeking Jasper, and from watching Jasper behavior over the years he had came to know where the vampire would be headed to escape him.

Fiona shook her head in response to his question. "No. They didn't come very often, maybe once a month. The dreams were all fairly short, too, until the last one. So, no, I don't know about them." She laid her hand on his cheek, letting her thumb trace small circles over his skin.

"I would like know, though, if you want to tell me. If you're ready to tell me."


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
"I will tell you whatever you ask me to the best of my knowledge. You mean a great deal to me, and I couldn't bare to see you disappointed." Jasper rises his head and he reaches over to take her hand in his. "My birth family consist of my parents, an older sister, and two twin younger siblings,a boy and girl. I was the middle child and I was loved greatly by my parents. They had high hopes for me" Jasper mind flashes back to a time in his past where he was a young man surrounded by his family. " The last time I saw then was just before the celebration of my younger sibling's birthday"

Fiona squeezed his hand. "How old were you? And how old were they? You don't have to answer that if you don't want to, or if you're not ready to answer it." She scooted close to him and kissed him on the cheek. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about them," she whispered.

"I would love to share my formal life story with you-everything ever, but we should get out of the forest. I guess I'm not leaving now" He stands up and pulls her up with him. He felt another headache coming on and for a quick minute, he sagged backward a little.

"I can see it's about time for my Jasper to need his usually medicine" Draven has just landed no too long ago, and he was now walking toward them. He was smiling slightly. The Forest of Dreams started to come alive again at the desires of Draven. Draven stops in his process and shakes his head to rid himself of seeing Ilivarra presence. I know I left her moments ago.

Fiona wrapped her arm around his waist as he almost fell. "Are you alright?" she asked softly. She was smiling widely despite her concern. She could help but smile; he said he wasn't leaving! He was going to stay with her. "Do you need more blood?" she asked in a whisper. "I did offer you mine. The offer still stands if you need it."

((I still haven't decided if Illy followed him or not...))


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
(No she doesn't have to follow him. Draven isn't going to be able to do anything due the the effects of the Forest of Dream. They will have time to get away from him-well they are going to want to get away from him- when the forest starts to make him relive his nightmare, dream, and desire all of which none of them will be able to see except Draven)

((I figured that was the case. I was just debating having her follow him before.

Maybe she can look on from afar... Maybe she'll get a glimpse of what he sees and decide to stop watching for one reason or another...))


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
(That would be fine)

"I will take you up on that offer soon enough" Jasper smiles back at her. Although he knew she didn't have the particular blood that an pureblood vampire posses to keep him from becoming nothing but a Rudy red crystal statue. He hugs her back loving. He had chosen to not acknowledge Draven presence, which he knew would anger the vampire to no end.

Draven shot a few daggers Jasper way, but then he calms himself. He started to take another step forward as certain images begin to wash over his mind eye. He hissed low and shakes his head.

(I'm still working on writing out what Draven sees in his dreams)

((Ah... I'll have to wait for that before Illy looks in. ^_^ ))

Fiona had seen Draven's approach, but followed Jasper's example of ignoring him. That was likely a lot safer than what she wanted to do, which was attack him. As a vampire, he should be easy enough to burn. She had no idea of his demon blood, which would provide some resistance - if not immunity - to fire.

"Come on, let's get out of here," she murmured. She shivered lightly, not liking the feel of the forest's new energy. Something had changed with Draven's entrance; something felt wrong here.

“Yes.” Jasper steps back from her embrace, and takes her hand. It was then that he meets Draven eyes with his own. A courageous look was there in his eyes. He took the lead in the walk pass Draven in a protect manner as if to dare the other to come near her.

********************

Draven hissed had changed to a low growl. He didn’t like the fact the look of courage and will power in the vampire’s eyes. He wanted to rip his eyes from their sockets. He took several steps toward the couple, but was stopped as his eyes had begins to become blurry and his vision begin to double. He took a step back. Take hold of his head he gripped the sides of his temples as the very image begin to play in his mind. Draven could see a small boy of six who was bawling uncontrollable as he stood over broken toys in some kind of playroom that seemed to have been ruined.

”Eric stop this behavior right away!” The voice of a woman was heard in the distance background. The small boy, Draven, looks at the gentle-looking woman. Mama..The black energy that surrounded the boy spiraled and cracked with an almost live presence. “He’s a demon Flora, you mustn’t approach him! He could kill you” Another female voice, this one of another female who wore the same maid outfit of the first who spoke. “No, let me handle him, he’s my charge. He’s just mad that’s all” The woman approached him despite the fact that items of broken toys and book had begin to fly at her. Some hit her some did not. Her voice was soothing and filled with love as she steady approached him. Draven saw the boy crying loudly and the energy growing every second he stood there. Just like that she, the woman named Flora reached him and took him in her arms…

The dream switches over to where Draven saw his formal self as a young twenty year older who was full of life and dreams. He was walking home from the lawyer office. Draven had dropped to his knees at the next vision.

Trees and darkness surrounded him. He remembers the cold and the decaying smell that filled the air. Something snapped from behind him-leaves branches. The young Eric did not know. He speed up his walking. The dream takes on an almost dark image. Fangs and red eyes was the next thing the young Eric remembers seeing….

“Draven..” An soft voice spoke to Draven. Draven had his head in between his hands to block out the recurring dream of the night he had changed. Looking up slowly, Draven saw the warm present of Ilivarra standing in front of him with a hand on his shoulder and a smile on her face. Draven rose willingly at her touch. Draven had looked down to see that he was wearing a suit and she a elegant gown. The dark gloomy forest had became a ballroom. Draven was wearing a suit, and he took the elf hand. The two started to dance with Draven leading her around the room. Draven twirls her and Ilivarra instantly disappears…

Draven blinks his eyes not realizing what had happens. He grew anger. “WHO’S MESSING WITH ME!!!” The dark energy resurfaces just as the forest added to his short temper with another dream.

”You are” An voice similar to Draven answers. A darker looking form of Draven stood before Dreven. He was paler than the Draven now. His eyes were black as coal, and his lips were red with blood. He had claws instead of hands. On his back sat two large black wings that were similar to a bird wings. His fangs could be seen hanging just over his lip and he had two horns that sat atop of his head. “You will become me very soon, and we shall destroy everything…

((I think Illy shall see from 'ballroom' to 'very soon'; that last image should be sufficiently frightening to convince her to stop snooping. ^_^ ))

Fiona was more than happy to put her hand in his. She, however, did not look at Draven as they passed him. She didn't trust herself not to look into his eyes. And if she did that, she might well do more. Like, say, try to burn him or otherwise hurt him. She had no doubt that would end badly.

Draven turned to the other him. He knew Jasper and Fiona (view spoiler) had escaped him once again. He would deal with them later, but sense this other him presented itself before him, he thought it best to see this dream out.

"That is my goal" Draven smiles darkly back at his darker self.

His darker self laughs, which annoys Draven even more. "You really don't know the meaning of those words" The dream changes once again. Ilivarra was in the dream this time. She wore a look of fear and terror in her eyes as the darker Draven takes her life violently.

Draven watches but he shows no signs of distress physically. Inwardly he wanted to destroy the other that took the life of a person he was begin to like. He looks away as the dream slowly fades.

###

Meanwhile, Phrixus walked slowly into the forest. He felt the forest coming to life all around him. Once he was a few feet into the forest, he stops to close his eyes. The energy and magic of this place had made him feel as if he was back at home. He could see the very meadows and fields he once ran along. He could taste the flowery,leafy taste of the many plants, and from behind his eyes lids, he could very well see the old trees of his formal home. Let when he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but this forest. "My new home"

###

"Can we go to your room? He may follow us if we go to mine or would you like to explore the school?" Jasper was leading her back to an exit of the forest. He was trying to put as much distance between Draven and them as he could under the circumstances.

"My roommate was asleep when I left. I imagine she's awake by now, but I'd rather not disturb her if she is sleeping." Fiona shrugged. "We could go to the library. They have private study rooms. I can't really think of anywhere else we could go for privacy...

"Then again, privacy might not be the best idea. Not because I don't want to be alone with you, but because this is just moving so fast. I don't really trust myself to be alone with you. Does that make sense?"


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 2076 comments Mod
"No I understand. I feel the same way." He paused as if to think how he should say his next words. "I'm not really to act on those feelings..if you understand not yet anyway" Jasper and Fiona reached the entry of the forest "We could look up my family, if you really want to go to the library."He smiled as he didn't think she was one who loved books "Or we could walk around until we find somewhere to hang out at"
