Davir sat on a gravestone, he always liked graveyards, and how quiet they could be. He was staring up at the sky just thinking about the dreams he had. He liked them, but, something told him to stay away from them and he couldn't care less right now. He didn't want to put any effort into anything no matter what it meant for him. The sunlight shined down upon him and he was so lost in staring at the moon he had forgotten there could be others around.

Gage didn't think anyone else was at the graveyard, so he was muttering to himself as he picked his way among the grave stones. He wasn't muttering anything in particular, just nonsense as he tried to figure out what was going on and little interjections about how senselessly this graveyard was designed. But if he was tripping over flower urns and stones, it was because he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. His foot caught on a tree root yet again and he tripped into a gravestone, but this time, his hand met flesh as well as stone. "Ah! Is someone there?" he asked. He hadn't been acting like there were others around, so he turned pink in embarrassment.

"Hm, can I help you?" Davir asked looking down at the other boy whom had fallen obviously in front of him, but, not one purpose of course. Davir wasn't always out in the light, but, if no one was around he secretly loved being in the sunlight. The only thing he liked to be the center of was warmth or light. His family was known to be a bit strange and liked the darkness more than anything else. Which is why he was adopted, but, he didn't know much.

Gage's brow furrowed as he straightened himself and looked int he direction of the voice. He had a weird feeling now and it was putting him off balance. "Ah sorry, excuse me," Gage muttered. He leaned in closer to the other person, trying to get some clues although he didn't know what he was looking for. "Um, this might be a strange question, but do I know you?" he asked. He felt like he did, but he was having trouble placing the boy's voice.

"I don't think so" Davir said looking at Gage wondering who he was "I don't even know who you are, so how can you know me, if I do not know you?" now he was talking in riddles again, which he did most of the time lately. Well as far as he could remember and it was the best way to get his sisters to leave him alone. "Who are you?" he looked so familiar, but, it hurt his head when he thought about it.

Not the least bit convinced, Gage leaned closer still. "My name is Gage and I'm getting too much deja vu right now," he said as if that was explanation enough. He was busy trying to identify a scent he had caught hold of though. Something all too familiar. Suddenly, he grabbed the other boy's arm and pulled it toward him, sniffing at the shirt sleeve. There was the scent he assumed belonged to the shirt's owner which was familiar enough. Lake scent, other things, but the scent that had his eyes widening was his own scent. "We've never met?! Then why is my smell on your clothes!" he exclaimed, still not letting go other's arm. As if they had been standing close, perhaps had their arms around each other.

Davir's eyes narrowed as he said "I don't know who you think you are, but, don't touch me. How in the world would you know if I smelled like you? Maybe there is more than one person that smells like someone else." it was a possibility and Davir didn't do well under pressure "Considering I am going to be the one to say 'You're strange' that must really mean something" he sad mostly to himself as his magic flared up in defense as if to try and move the other from his pathway. "I don't know you, I never have met you, and I surely I haven't ever been around you."

The other boy's words hurt and angered Gage. He was strange, well he knew that. He didn't like to hear it from others though. He told himself those were the words he was upset about. Gage dropped the other's arm and stepped back a bit, nearly tripping again, but he managed to retain his balance. "Fine...maybe you're right. I don't think you are though. I know you somehow, I just don't know how right now," he said tersely. "But if you want to say we've never met, then fine. We might as well not have!" Gage's fists were balled and he blinked his eyes furiously against and itch, not noticing that it was because of the tears growing there.

(I Wont be up too late tonight, I have work in a few hours)

Davir felt a little hurt at the commotion between the two glad that it was early still and no one was really out and about. He sighed his magic depleting without his anger there to help him as he sighed "Why are you so determined to figure this all out? I don't know what you are doing or what you are trying to figure out, but, it must be important if you're willing to go yelling at a complete stranger in a graveyard" Davir figured it made more sense that way. Something about the way Gage was looking made Davir unable to think about what he was going to do next. He walked over to him as something flashed in his mind, but, he couldn't grasp it in time. He wrapped his arms around the other boy, he may not have known him, but, he wasn't the person to upset someone and just walk away from it. "Sorry for my actions" he didn't know how else to put it. Though it felt...familiar and now he was starting to wonder.

Gage was surprised when the other boy hugged him, but he didn't jump back like he normally would. He didn't know at first why he was being apologized to. Only when a tear found its way to his cheek did he realize. He pulled back and lifted a finger to his cheek, the look on his face showing obvious confusion. Why was he crying? He didn't even know what it was that was upsetting him. the tears had been some kind of reflex from being told that he was unknown to the other boy. Instinct, it had no basis in logic that he knew of. "No...I'm the one who should be sorry. I'm saying weird things. But since I woke up today, I've felt like something I knew and cared for was suddenly gone and I so badly want to find what that was."

Davir blinked for a moment "It's fine, it isn't really a bother to me, and I have to admit that I have felt similar" Davir didn't care to find out that was the problem, his gut instinct was telling his feelings to shut up and he was listening to his gut instinct. However, he didn't know why, he always did things his way, and never any other different way. "What's your name anyways?" Davir asked him.

(this is so weird after they got so close too lol)

(it is, but it's still fun)

Gage sighed and told the other his name. "And what's yours? I feel like...we should be friends. After meeting so strangely, it would be weird if we parted ways and never spoke again," he said. Although he thought they should be friends because everything in him was screaming that he shouldn't forget about this guy. It was so strange, but he really couldn't think about it here, chatting with someone.

(its heart breaking too)

"I'm Davir" though he had felt like he said it before to the kid, but, couldn't remember when. "I don't know, I'm not really someone who likes to have friends" well alot of them at least, but, since the kid was cute, he figured "Why not" he sat down against a tombstone even though it was cold out "So, why are you here so early anyways? I figured no one was going to be around here this early"

(I thought that was the point)

Gage shrugged on should and felt around until he felt something to lean back against. He could feel the cold stone through his jeans. He also wasn't the sort to make friends, but today he felt like making an exception. "I didn't think it was so early," he said. Mid morning? He had a pretty good internal clock, but he wasn't sure how long he'd already been outside. He didn't want to say he was out here looking for answers, so he just shrugged again and turned the question around. "Why are you out here? A graveyard is a strange place to hang out."

(lol I meant literally, I feel heartbroken over this XD so yes it was the point)

Davir shrugged "My best friend lives here" technically he doesn't 'live' anymore though, but, Davir was fine with it either way. He had a friend who was always in the graveyard and couldn't leave even if he wanted to. "What about you?" he asked wondering why the other would be here now that he explained his reason which sounded silly to himself.

(me too)

Gage wasn't sure what to make of that answer. A friend lived here? Was that supposed to mean he had a friend who had passed and was buried here? But that was a funny way to say it. Gage didn't poke fun at it though since he didn't want to be rude. He gave in and explained just what he was doing here. "I don't normally come to places like this, but I had a dream and it started here so I came to investigate, to see if it really was just a dream." Which was something he was not so sure of right now.

Davir thought maybe Gage knew his friend that stayed in the graveyard, however, he wasn't really sure that was something that could happen. This morning he felt a piece of him disappear and wonder if he could ever get it back or if it was worth it. "If you could get those dreams to bring you the answers you crave, would you do anything to do it?" basically, would he do anything to get his memories back or his dreams to give him answers.

Gage nodded his head without hesitation. "Of course I would do anything. I feel like I have to find the answers to whatever is missing. It's important. I don't know what it is, but it's the most important thing out there." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. It was a little embarrassing to be saying things like that, but he really needed to talk. Just saying things aloud made him more sure of them. "You probably think I sound overly sentimental or crazy. I assure you, I'm not normally like this."

Davir leaned his head back glancing up at the sky with the clouds passing over them ever so slowly "Alright" he sighed "Let's try something shall we? You say I have your scent and I say I don't know what you are talking about. We feel like this is deja vu, we both woke up differently than usual, and want to figure things out" well he just wanted to know what the boy wanted to find out even if Gage didn't know. He stood up "Can't do magic here come on" he held out his hand to help up Gage "Let's go to my house, at least we can have silence there, and my family goes out to the mall today without me anyways" Davir rolled his eyes at that thought never doing family things with them and not knowing why exactly.

"Magic?" Gage asked hollowly as he pulled away from the stone he had been leaning against. "Ah well, that makes sense. It's not like I thought this day was going to end normal. You have some kind of magic that can help us out?" he asked. Normally people didn't just talk about magic with such ease though. He didn't notice that Davir had held out his hand, but he moved toward the other boy's voice as a guide. He chuckled slightly to himself. "That's funny. Normally my family goes to the mall today as well."

Davir shrugged again "Yep, you're not like the others, you pursue the unknown, so telling you about magic isn't too bad" he led the boy to his house, though it was quite aways away and there were mostly moments where they talked about things they did or liked. "I figured magic could at least give us a boost, if we try to connect, considering I think we're both connected somehow, then the magic should flow, and show us what we have forgotten" Once there, Davir led him to a back door that led to a stair case next to it and walked up the steps "Careful with the steps" he said not yet knowing about Gage's sight vs his other senses. He had to lead the boy up to another flight of steps to get to the attic, but, once there the room probably seemed empty. "I don't care for alot of things in my room" Davir spoke with honesty and moved to where his pentagram was after moving the rug "Come sit" he asked sitting down himself using magic to light the candles surrounding them as the room was dark until the candles flames flared up.

Gage mostly listened to Davir as they walked to his house, offering comments only occasionally. He was busy concentrating on where they were going since he didn't feel it was necessary yet to explain that he couldn't see where he was going. He was also thinking about the magic. What Davir said sounded about right; they were connected. Hopefully the magic would help. He managed to get the stairs at his own slow pace, counting the number of steps as he went, then he sat down near the other boy. "So how does this magic thing work?" he asked. He smelled candle smoke and he knew they had walked up high enough to be in the attic, but that was all he could gleam about the room.

The room had a twin size bed covered with a dark starry sky comforter and a dresser opposite of the bed in the room. There was even a small closet as well as a chest locked and closed. It was so dusty it didn't look like it was ever used before or at least in a long time. Davir thought about what to do then it hit him as he stood up going to the chest forcing magic to unlock the chest, but, it wouldn't open. Davir sighed, what was so important about this chest, it was in his room before, but, never- just then the chest unlocked itself and opened. A book amongst other belongings sat in it as he picked the book up and walked back to the circle sitting across from Gage. "We need to do a memory walk, we might not be able to see everything, it could all just be in shadows, but, we'll be seeing with our minds. Not our eyes. So don't worry, you should be able to see things there" meaning he could clearly tell the boy couldn't fully see. "Now" he opened the book setting it down on the floor next to them and took Gage's hands in his own while closing his eyes "Close your eyes, focus, feel the energy surround you, and let yourself fall into it's grasp. Don't be afraid, I'll be right here with you, and I won't let nothing harm you" Gage spoke.

Nodding his head once, Gage closed his eyes as he had been told. Why did he feel such a resistance to closing his eyes? He did it anyway though because he trusted Davir, although they were strangers, and he couldn't couldn't be afraid with him close. "Alright. I hope this works," he muttered before he focused on the energy. He could feel it building up around them and he let that be the only thing he was aware of, besides the feel of Davir's hands in his. All of his other senses fell away. He wasn't sure what to expect with this magic, but he was glad he wasn't alone.

(READERS: The memories are in quotes for the time being)

Davir spoke quietly "Our spirits will walk in our minds as if we really are there, don't believe it's real though, they will only be memories" Davir could see an image in his mind, holding his hand out for another to grasp, and then the memories shifted...

Davir could see himself turn around when bumped into someone "Whoops, sorry, my bad, I wasn't looking where I was going"
~~~
"No, it's fine. I'm sure I was just in the way," Gage said, or more of mumbled. He tilted his head, moving slightly to locate sound better.

Soon the memories kept their flow fading into eachother as if on cue...Each memory was what both boys were sharing...as one...

Zia and Kia hugged the girl instead "Hehe, our big brother doesn't like hugs. Don't worry we do though" Kia smiled being all cheerful as Zia just went along with it. "Oh oh let's finish trick or treating together" Zia and Kia smiled brightly hearing their big brother sigh at what they just said. "You still have another hour before time is up, just don't get yourselves in trouble" he rolled his eyes "Oh oh big brother, can you make me a rose so I can wear it in my hair?" Kia asked the shadow boy

Gage pulled off his headphones and brushed at his shoulder. "Is someone there?" he asked, staring blankly ahead.
~~~
"Ah, sorry didn't mean to startle you" Davir smiled a bit "We met on Halloween"Davir added.

"Halloween? Oh...then you're Davir," Gage said as he focused on the voice so that he was looking at the other person.
~~~
"I wasn't expecting to walk by you in a bookstore" Davir stated bluntly "What are you doing here, besides listening to music?" curious to wonder why he wasn't with his younger sister "Not here to get books?" he asked adding to his curiosity to see what he could do to limit it to a smaller amount. Davir sat on the ground, one knee up and the other leg under that one as he waited for the answer.

The rush of emotions that Davir was feeling was beginning to overwhelm him, he did know the kid, but, how? When did they? How were they friends and not even know it? Everything was giving him a headache as the memories became a blur and everything was encased in complete and total darkness. His hands tightened a bit on Gage's in the physical world as he quickly came back to reality trying to get his focus to return. 'Oh...shit...dizzy...' he thought rather quickly without trying to himself.
