Now almost halfway across the lake Mai and Reina became aware of the presences following them. They turned abruptly to see four people.<br/><br/>"Jacob? Mary?" Mai asked in astonishment. "No impossible! You two died years ago while I was asleep!"<br/><br/>The girl smiled, "But we're here now aren't we?"<br/><br/>Jacob smiled too, "Yeah, this is a dream after all. Is it so hard to believe you'd see us here?"<br/><br/>Mai was so shocked that he slipped and fell into the water.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>"Mom?! Dad?!" Reina cried in horror.<br/><br/>"Of course sweetie," said her mom.<br/><br/>"Who were you expecting?" her dad joked.<br/><br/>"Try to be a little nicer dear," said her mom. "You should be grateful we'd even come to see a wretch like you after what you did!" The sweet motherly face turned into one of anger and horror.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Mai found that in this world he could breath under water and swimming wasn't much of a problem either. He saw Jacob and Mary swimming toward him and panicked, swimming in the other direction.<br/><br/>"Why are you running?" Jacob called in an eerie under water voice.<br/><br/>"We were the closest thing you had to a family. You should be nicer to us."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">It's not them!</span>Mai thought desperately at himself.<span style="font-style: italic">The real Mary and Jacob would never use my being an orphan as a ploy!</span><br/><br/>"Come on, I helped make you a famous child wind skater," Mary said, a now ugly look on her young face. "You have a debt to repay me!"<br/><br/>"And I stood by you day after day as you practiced. I was your moral support!" Jacob said, the same ugly look on his face.<br/><br/>"You owe us!" they said in unison.<br/><br/>Mai panicked, swimming faster.<span style="font-style: italic">This can't be happening, this can't be happening!</span><br/><br/>----------------------------<br/><br/>Reina screamed, clutching her head in the agony of the memories. "It's not my fault!" she cried. "I didn't want to do it!"<br/><br/>The image of her dad floated over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Then looked at her with a horrible look of hatred. "You killed us," he said quietly. "Payback!!"<br/><br/>"NOOO!" Reina screamed and without thinking, summoned a sword and thrashed her dad's head off. Her breathing was ragged, she gazed in horror at the blood on her weapon. She looked down to see the headless image of her dad floating on the water's surface, maggots crawling out of his neck. She gagged and clutched her head.<span style="font-style: italic">God no! It's still just a dream right? Oh god, tell me this is just a nightmare!</span>
