    -Just You and Me-



    The sun rose slowly over a white sandy beach. The water was calm and to the back of her the soft wind slowly pushed sand towards the dunes. This was Anika’s favourite place to be quiet. The beach. Sitting in a pair of blue silk pyjama pants and a black tank top. Sitting at a picnic table she yawned. Even in dreams she was always tired. Looking at the still water she jumped when she heard someone walking behind her. Turning around a small smile played at her lightly glossed lips. “ I can’t believe you figured it out tonight.”

    Silas looked at her then glared, unlike Anika it took him quite a bit more time to master the dream world. Dressed in a pair of grey blue plaid pants and an oversized grey t-shirt he shook his head pushing his thin glasses up his nose. “ ******** you, I hate you, I arrived over by the trees I thought I screwed up again.” He was taller than Ani even in the dream world. With dyed black hair and dark blue eyes he yawned. He even had stubble, once Ani figured out how to change appearances here, she’d defiantly teach him.

    Ani laughed pushing her shoulder length burgundy red-black hair behind her ear. Her brown eyes were sparkling reflecting the sunlight in her eyes. Ani was a dream master, but not a very good one, she still couldn’t control some things. “Come on Silas, I was just joking! Have some fun and smile for once will you!”

    Silas sighed “ Screw you, god damn it I hate you. You’ve been doing this longer than I have.”

    Ani nodded, it was true she had been manipulating the dream world for some time. She used the powers she gained to manipulate for many reasons. Sometimes she used them to get everything she couldn’t get in real life. In a way her dreams were her new form of escape. It was only when Silas showed the need for such an escape did she bestow some of her power onto him. She had only shared her powers once before, another time she found someone like her.

    “Silas do you know why I gave you this ability?”

    Silas looked up, her silence was unnerving and the sudden question made him think, he looked up at her his eyes slightly glazed over. “ So we could talk face to face?”
    He got up and walked back towards a fallen tree as if in a trance. Without warning Anika felt herself slowly lose control. Trying to fight the feeling she suddenly realized what was going on. Silas had lost control and was dreaming something strong. Ani didn’t have the energy to pull him back out of his dream and back into the dream world. Looking around her she felt her body rise as the beautiful sun rise scenery she made melted away to night.

    Blinking she kept a last ounce of control she realized he wasn’t entirely dreaming, he was reminiscing. Suddenly she found herself standing on the log balanced wearing jeans, black shoes and a black tank top.

    Silas changed too, a black t-shirt branding a band name across his chest and a pair of black pants on. His heart was racing and he had a look of udder despair on his face, as if his world was totally hopeless. IT was playing as if it were a movie, and while he fought for control over his memories he knew what was coming.

    “Can I kiss you?” The world stood still...waves stopped moving and the wind stopped blowing.

    “Yes, you can”

    Ani didn’t believe what she was hearing or saying. As she slowly closed her eyes she felt his lips against hers. That’s when it happened. She regained control and understood what was happening. He was pulling her through emotional memories. If she tried to pull him out of it., she would damage him. He had to do it himself.

    Silas smirked opening his eyes and his smile grew. Looking down at Ani, it was no longer her who he saw, it was someone else...
