Once everything was taken care of and settled, both you and Devin went to your own rooms to rest. Memories of the past always came to haunt you when you had nothing to distract your brain. Sleeping had become a chore; any sort of relaxation would be disturbed.

Often times, you considered destroying the plant you grew. Maybe if you did get rid of it, you would feel more at peace. However, it held so many recollections of what happened. Losing Chloe and her dad, Dylan losing his life for you, Jay and Devin getting hurt protecting you. Sure it didn't hold good memories, but still....And speaking of Devin, he is still unaware of the flower. There is no way you could tell him that the little plant was from the island, he would definitely do away with it. Maybe that would be best though, just get rid of the thing.

Breaking you out of your many troubling thoughts, you heard your name being called. You look towards the entrance of your room and see Devin standing there with a concerned look etched on his face.

"Hey, are you ok? I've been calling your name for the past ten minutes." He finally spoke.

He has?

"Yea, sorry. Just a lot on the brain right now, you know, with moving and all." You explained.

"Right, well Jay just called and asked if we wanted to go see a movie with him." Devin said.

You looked at the time and saw it read three fifty pm.

"Is he already off work? I didn't think he could leave until six." You questioned.

"He gets off early today since it is Friday. So, do you want to go?"

You gave it some thought. You did need something to distract yourself for a while. You look towards your friend and give an affirmative nod. "Sure, sounds like fun."

The two of you both get ready and go to meet up with Jay.

~Meanwhile, back at your house~

The little harmless plant that was sitting oh so silently on the window sill, started to get bigger. The leaves grew to the size of an adult male, in length, before they started to swell. It looked like a balloon before a hand shot out of the leaf. Following the hand, the rest of the body followed suit and exited the leaf.

It took a huge gasp of breath as it landed on the floor. The body crawled its way to your bed, leaving a slimy trail of the plants goo as it moved. It heaved itself onto your bed and laid there, as if resting...or waiting for your return.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You, Devin, and Jay went to go see (movie name). It was really good, the plot, characters, everything was fantastic and you could hardly wait for it to come out on DVD.

"How did you two like the movie?" Jay asks.

"Eh, it was ok. Could have been better though." Devin answered.

You gave him an incredulous look. "It was a wonderful movie! Then again, it is your opinion. Even though it's an awful one." You joked. Devin just rolled his eyes at you and continued walking to Jay's car. You and Dev met Jay about half way to the theater and carpooled the rest of the way.

"Either way, I'm glad we were able to hang out today. I had fun." You commented.

"Yeah, me too. It's been a while since I had any free time." Jay stated.

With all that said, the three of you climb into the car and head off. It was about eight when you and Dev finally got back home.

"Hey, (y/n), want some ice cream? I picked some up earlier." Devin asked. Of course, you nodded and got the bowls and spoons.

After eating some of the frozen goodness, you go to take a shower. It has been a long day and you are just ready for bed. You did have fun with your friends and they helped take your mind off of the crazy things you couldn't help think about. There is one major thought that is always creeping up in your brain though, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. What if he comes back? What if Demitri comes back to life and take his revenge on all of you? That's what really worries you about having that plant now. You didn't really think anything much of it at first but now it is sending bad signals to your body. The more you think about it, the more you decide that destroying the plant to be the best idea. Don't take risks like this.

Getting out of the shower, you grab your bathrobe and wrap it over your body. Your mind has been made up. You are tearing the plant up. It was stupid to plant it to begin with, but now you will deal with it.

Entering the room, you let out a loud scream, startling the body lying on your bed. The body crawled off your bed and stood up, limping its way towards you.

"(y/n)." It spoke your name, calling out to you almost.

Devin came rushing to your aid, and flipped on your lights. The figure threw his hands up, blocking the light. Green slim slid down his naked body and onto the floor. You look towards your bed and see the same kind of slim on it. From there, you can see a trail of the stuff leading to your window...where the plant was sitting.

"Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" Devin screams and tries to block your robe clad body. The male finally lowered his arms

The both of you let out a gasp. Tears formed in your eyes as you couldn't believe who is standing in front of you.

                                   "Dylan?"

I am alive and so is this story! I apologize for the long wait, school and all is taking my attention. It feels a little rushed in my opinion but at the same time it is ok, this sequel won't be as long as the original story.
