Ash thought silently while the others discussed the picture. She sat cross-legged on the floor.<So, what, now I have a brother?!>she thought. Drake looked over his shoulder to Ash and noticed something, but decided now wasn't the best time to spring it on her. He continued the conversation. He said something that Zero didn't like.
"Boy don't go disrespecting your elders!"he said.
<Dork>Ash thought.
"I am so much older than you that I was with Flandrę when she was declared Goddess of Fire!" Drake stated.
The whole room froze.
"Yeah, so I am your elder!"
Zero's eyes were like frying pans. He nodded sheepishly. Ash just stared at Drake. Then she spoke.
"DAYUM Drake! You know the Goddess?!?!" she spoke more quickly than she intended. Drake smiled his cocky 'Yes I know more than you do so let's compare facts' smile. He sat by Ash.
"Yes I do. And we are like this."He crossed his fingers. Ash smiled. Safire sat on the other side of Ash.
As Ash thought, Drake got bored and played with her long black hair. He frenchbraided it, which surprised Ash.
"If I've been around for billions of years, I should know some decent hairstyles..."Drake commented. Ash giggled, then shrugged at Safire, who was looking at her with a WTF look.
Justin and Zero just babbled on...and on...and on...and on until it got dark outside, and all but those two got sleepy. Ash shoved her ex and his dad out the door, which was still knocked down by Zero's 'SKADOUCHEN' moment. Noob.
Drake and Ash got the door back up. He volunteered to sleep on the floor while Safire slept on the couch. She snored. Loud. Drake took an invisible TV remote and muted her. She stopped snoring.
"Holy crap!"Ash said. Drake was shocked too.
"That is amazing,"Drake said. Ash smiled.
"Well, night,"she said. Drake nodded and covered himself in a thick comforter. Ash jumped into bed for a long sleep.
She buried her face into the pillows.
That, my friend, is when the nightmare began..........

Ash was sitting in a dark and foggy meadow. Her outfit looked peculiar. A V-neck black-and purple minidress that flanneled out at the bottom. She wore purple stiletto heels, with a skull buckle on the front. She also wore a big black cloak. Then she saw him....
He was too far away to easily identify details. All Ash could see were his gigantic raven wings. She stood up and crept towards him, remaining hiden in the fog. Ash she got closer, she saw more of him. His back was to her, and his wings were spread. Ash didn't know it, but he sensed her presence. He turned his head and Ash hid. He chuckled.
"Ashlynn, Ashlynn, Ashlynn...tsk tsk tsk. I at least thought you'd pick a better hiding place," he said. He sounded DARK. Like mafia leader dark. Actually be sounded like Kick Bottowski. That thought made Ash smile. The dude turned around, and Ash gasped. He was a purple bat-boy (again with the bats I know). He had golden eyes with dark hair. He wore no shirt, but he wore what looked like an Egyptian skirt for guys. He was barefoot.
"Ashlynn I know where you are."He took in a big breath, and blew away the fog. Ash was out in the open. She panicked.
"Ash! Ash!" someone called in the distance. The man frowned."Ash! Wake up!"

Ash shot up from bed.
