Painful Dreams 2
Twin Dreams

"When you ask someone about themselves you usually get this weird story with lots of ups and downs and in the end the hero wins gets the girl yadda, yadda the end. I hate those stories. This story is set a few months after Allison and company defeated Din. Oh yeah I WILL NOT refresh you "- Tenille ^-^
"SHIT that damn computer just won't fucking work." Allison flicked a bunch of wires on the floor. "This goes here. this goes." Electricity flashed snapping at the woman. ".Not there."
"You're knowledge on computers far surpasses us," Jason put a sandwich down on a desk already covered in bits and dropped into a fake bow, "Hail Alison leader of electronics."
"Thank you, thank you all." She imitated a royal wave. At the same instant a bunch of sparks flew from the speakers. "Ugg. darn it I just fixed that."
"Allison."a figure appeared his features shaded out from a bright light. The light grew swallowing them in a white shadow. Then it grew dark. A flash of lightning revealed a street. Two children were running down it one holding a red balloon, it barely wavered in the frosty air. The other one yelled out. "Allison. Allison wake the hell up!"
"Ugg." she opened her eyes to see nothing.
"Allison stop staring like that you're scaring me." It was Jason.
She was lying some where. "Why can't I see anything?" she muttered.
" GET HERE PRONTO. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALLISON!!!"
"What?" Now it was Jordan his voice etched with worry. She tried to sit up but her body wouldn't move.
"God Allison your eye its."
"What?"
She felt invisible hands lifting her. "Umm. 'what' what?"
'It was a vision.' the thought hit her like an icy dagger.
A word, not an important one but a commonly used one in that area of dark things, was heard. Simple yet effective to the point that you probly tell what the person was feeling like, yet no one cared who said it or why that cold night. If a stranger were to hear they would think it were the rambling of a madman condemned to spend their days within those dreaded walls but no man dared walk those corridors so no man would hear. But other things did, shadows shifted and murmured from the disturbance for even then in their endless sleep, the dead even could never leave the prisons endless maze of caverns each one with a new unseen monster and they were awakened easily. The word was not unheard by those monsters among the likes few have ever seen, or lived to tell the tale. But they knew better than to upset the Sightless One, for her wraith could never be taken lightly despite her short stature. So the speaker was left alone. His features obscured by his long hair that covered his eyes, they had been scratched out a few years before by the Sightless one. The word was lost in those caverns though, for only she spoke the stranger's language. The shadows slept once more and the monsters returned to whatever foul chore they had been doing before and the word was forgotten in the deathly abyss.
"Ugg," her sight was slowly returning. Blurred figures looming over her as she lay on her bed, her arms and legs were paralysed but she kept on trying to move them her head turning here and there.
"Stop it you'll only make it worse by moving so much." Blue's voice was etched with worry. "Try to sleep you'll need it."
" 'Kay." She closed her eyes feeling sleep taking over her.
'She'll be fine,' his silent words held the doubt his spoken words hid, 'but what happed, did she have a vision that strong or are there other forces at work?'
The man didn't seem to notice the extra shadow as he walled thru the halls to his chambers. "Silly humans," Kade chuckled. He crept to the door. Inside he spied a woman, her long black hair falling over her face.
"C'mon hurry up," Desiree urged him. He skilfully crept up to the woman; his striped tail swished back and forth his ears twitched to further monitor the entrance. "No jewellery there, I already checked." Desiree seemed impatient.
"Nope. it is too flashy." The woman opened one eye. It was yellow with flecks of green and brown. It stared straight at him as if burrowing through his thoughts. "Ugg. at least I can see now. a girl and. a CAT-BOY?"
"Hmm. you really think you can defeat me," he sneered at Alison.
"Yep... are you part of 'The Family'?"
"Yes" He skilfully moved into a ninja stance his black suit matched his tiger stripes on his sliver fur.
"You can do it Kade she is just a woman." The girl rooted him on. Her brown hair was streaked with blond. He was rather young, probly only eighteen, his friend looked around the same age.
"C'mon lets go." She shifted her feet and hands into a basic fighter stance. He charged towards her his arm flung forward. She ducked and kicked him in the stomach. "Too slow."
Desiree watched as Kade stumbled back clutching his chest, blood ran down the side of his mouth. He was wide open to attack. "Kade!"
She walked up to him but he pushed her back. "Stay back." He put out his hands, a ball of light gathered in his hands. "Ehhyyaaaa," he yelled as it shot out towards the woman. She just raised a hand. It shot back so fast it hit Kade before he could block. He fell back knocking Dez down.
"Allison!" The voices of her friends all ran out as their heads peeked in. "I'm fine though those two have probly seen better days."
He knew only of darkness. It was never bright in his world. She had taken away his sight and expected him to obey her like a dog. He had long forgotten his own name. She would pay for it all with death.
'Why am I like this around him. this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach.' Terra looked up at the ceiling. An eerie tune floated to her ears. She felt sleep taking over but she didn't dream.
A tune was playing as Jordan was watching the prisoners as they were leaving. He felt himself dropping. So were the two. He didn't dream.
Blue heard the tune also. Unlike the others though he wasn't lulled by the tune. 'A sleep spell' he recognized it. He ran to Allison's room. He heard voices inside. He yanked it open and ran in. A portal was closing. He jumped towards it and zoomed across a dirt floor. The place was dark. He barely saw his hand, which lay a foot or so in front of him. He pulled himself up to hear a roar.
It was cut off and he felt a pair of hands pulling him up. "Come with me and be silent, we must not be heard." He was lead by the stranger through the endless darkness.
'Why am I doing this?' He stopped at the wall. This was the only safe place for the stranger. "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I am Hudag Bluedon, I came here because my. friend Alison Hilo was taken here."
"Alison. why is name familiar." "It's a common human name maybe you met a Allison before Mr. ."
"I don't have a name."
"You. don't have a name? Weird."
"I have been here for as long as I can remember. If I have a name I've forgot it long ago."
"Ugg," Allison sat up. Darkness again surrounded her. An old gnarled hand grabbed her arms holding them in one hand. Suddenly she felt a blade digging into her stomach. "AGGG," Allison moved fast grabbing the blade and stabbing it into the attacker. A low moan then a thud followed. She stood up grabbing the blade and venturing into the shadows.
"That sounded like Allison," Blue stood up. "Then its too late lets just hope she was lucky enough to die."
"TO DIE IS LUCKY?"
"Its better than what she does to those who get to live."
"HELLO???" Allison's voice echoed down the dark caverns "Any more psycho bitches, I'm damn annoyed and if you're lucky you'll get a fucking short death like you're little friend."
"She destroyed the sightless one?" The stranger's disbelief showed in each word.
"That's her definitely. ALLISON!"
"BLUE IS THAT YOU?"
"YES!"
"WHERE." a roar cut off her words but was cut off. ". DAMN FUCKERS. WHERE ARE WE?"
"The caverns of Ki'aaba." (Key-Ey-aba) The stranger pulled Blue up.
"Who the." another roar was cut off, ". are you?"
"Not important. keep talking and we'll find you."
" 'Kay. Hmm." She smiled at a sudden idea. "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves; I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes. I know." Another monster popped up. She lunged forward. ". A song that gets on everybody's nerves, and this is how it goes. I know a. oh my god!!!"
Right when Blue was about to crack from her singing, she stopped. "Huh? Allison?" His voice echoed in the dark abyss.
"She's crying about something I can barely hear her sobbing."
"We got to find her!"
"Well c'mon."
He walked a path he didn't remember. The scents and sounds, even the feel of the ground was different. "And there was light?" Hudag murmured under his breath. "Huh? Allison, are you alright?"
Footsteps pounded and a gasp. Alfred took a few steps forward to stumble as a stench filled his nose, the stench of decay.
Allison covered her mouth to keep herself from barfing. The bodies of people were everywhere. Children, women, and men each with their eyes torn out and their guts missing from their chests each torn open lay in the sickening pile... She felt arms wrap around her. She turned around to see Blue. She returned his hug, crying her blood out onto his shoulder like she had done months ago. "We got to get out of here." He spoke to her in a quiet tone.
"How?" She knew she had to focus before. they joined the countless dead in that horrid pile.
"I may have a way but I need more power, so unless one of you are magic we'." A man walked out into the light, his shaggy hair covered half his face.
"What if both of us are?"
"Okay, I'll need one of you to touch the top edge of my face." He lifted his hair away from his face revealing his eyes, or where they should have been, deep gashes obscured his eyelids. Allison gulped hard and went towards him. Her hands reached up and touched his temples.
"Now picture where you want to go. And Hudag you must hold onto her." Allison felt a tingling at the back of her neck as Blue breathed down her neck, it went right down her spine. His arms wrapped around her protectively as she pictured home. The swing set with the rusty chains, which she spent a lot of time on before she had been attacked by Din. The jungle gym with the broken slide and collapsing monkey bars, which were once, blue but now a rusty grey-brown. She felt a drop of rain hit her head and opened her eyes. There loomed home. "Did it work?" The strangers voice was hopeful.
"We did it?" Blue looked up at the sky and as if on cue it started to rain. The stranger pulled back.
"Rain. I barely remember it. How it looked is lost but I remember I loved it." He remembered something, an old tune.
"Gently falling rain
Falling from the sky
Streaming down like teardrops
Teardrops from on high"

Allison recognized the song; it swelled up out of her. Yet she held back, she was too tired.
"C'mon lets go in." Blue murmured.
Allison grabbed the stranger's hand. "C'mon," she led him to the jungle gym.
"Alison!!!" Alison walked in holding a strangers hand. Blue was behind them.
"Where are we Hudag?" The stranger's ears seemed to twitch.
"Blue prefers to be called Blue, Hudag is his last name." Allison whispered a little too loudly.
"Isn't Hudag a radian name?" Terra asked.
Blue opened his mouth then closed it.
"Leave him be," Julia ordered, "if he is or if he isn't, isn't your concern."
"WHAT??? You knew all along didn't you?" Jordan snapped at the African woman.
"Leave them alone," Alison muttered, "Jordan I know you're only trying to protect everyone and I respect your big brother attitude but it really doesn't matter that he is part radian, he is still Blue and our..." Allison collapsed into a heap. Everyone rushed over to her side.
"She is burning up."
"Then she wasn't spared."
Jordan shook the blind man, "What do you mean?"
"The Sightless One always uses poisons on her knives, she must have been cut."
"Is there a cure?" Blue jumped up.
"Only time will tell if she'll survive."
"Ugg. I don't want to get up. they're all dead." a murmur escaped her lips.
"Allison!" Blue dropped down by her. ". Blue." Jordan's heart sank, ".Mom. Dad. Alfred. Lisa. Cassie. Mrs. Munford."
"All her best friends, her neighbour, and her parents and brother."
"She had a brother?" Jason murmured deep in thought.
"But then wouldn't he have been." Jordan's voice trailed off. "No, the watcher is usually a girl, and she was born before him."
"Must have been horrible losing a little brother," Terra looked like she was going to cry. "I don't blame her for not mentioning him." Jordan put his arm around his younger sister. "She took it hard. I wish I had been there to comfort her. They never left each others sides, from birth to his death, exactly eleven years and three days."
The strangers' head sagged down. His voice was distant, "We were inseparable. but she'd never admit it, and she never let me hold that darn red balloon." the stranger dropped down on his knees. "We always talked about everything, we didn't hide anything, from our bloody tears to her crush on Blue. you, Alison and. Alfred Hilo, twins till the end."
"You're." Terra's voice trailed off.
It was like a dam on his brain collapsed spilling all his memories and flooding his head.
". Reaching all around us giving hope to those who know." she sung in a low voice.
"Bring me to her." He was lead to a lump. He felt her face finding the top right corner of her head. "Blue place your hand like this on me." He felt a hand so he focused. He saw an image they were in a neighbourhood. Blue was next to him. Muscular with black hair and blue skin, his ears were large and pointed and his eyes were weird. They were an odd yellow color.
Allison watched as the younger her was dragged to an orphanage. Little her sat alone. The other children feared her. The scene changed. She watched as Alfred was carried off. Then as her parents were murdered in front of her, but this time the radians came for her. One of them grabbed her arm pulling her towards him a knife held high in his hands, suddenly a light flickered and Din stood there. She was frightened. "Did you think I was dead stupid girl?"
"Allison!!!" A voice echoed in the air.
"Blue?"
"Try to remember this is a dream. You were poisoned after."

Din slapped her. "Listening to the voices in your head. They're all dead and you failed, but since you insist on pretending they're alive." He morphed into Blue, "lets play along." She couldn't move, couldn't breathe, her heart stopped.
"Allison," Blue pushed Din out of the way. His arm was stabbed but he was fine. He rushed over to her side. Her heartbeat was fading. "Allison you can do it, do not give up on me, please."
'Blue,' she heard that word as she was fading. It somehow gave her the courage to fight, but it wasn't enough. She saw her life flash by. Then she remembered nothing but the word.
"Remember," a voice said. She saw two children run past her. In their arms they carried a balloon.
One of them, a girl passed her a red balloon. "My friend gave this to me when he left to cheer me up. But you look like you need it more."
She kneeled down trying to act sweet. "What was his name?" She asked.
"Blue."
Allison was dead. Tears went down Terra's face as Jason held her. Blue, Jordan, and Alfred all were gathered around her. When they were just about to give up Terra felt something, a twang at the back of her head like a gong announcing dinner at the Chinatown a few blocks down from the orphanage. "Wait!" She ran up to her best friend's limp form punching her chest as hard as she could. Then again, but when she was about to do it a third time she heard a sharp intake of breath. Allison's chest started to rise and fall normally.
"Blue. I did it." Blue lifted her up as she curled into him. Her eyelids were barely open. As he laid her on her bed she seemed to be a child as she lay there. "I. love you." She murmured at the brink of sleep.
"I love you too." He switched the light off and walked out into the hall.
"I'm sorry," the voice startled him. Jordan was propped up against a wall, "I wrongfully judged you just because she loves you and not me. but don't think I'm not watching. break her heart and I'll break your neck."
"Jordan!!!" Terra's voice called out to her brother.
Terra looked out the window. A cloud casted shadow over the abandoned playground hid the moon. A small figure waddled across the pavement leaning heavily on a walking stick. "Won't you come out to play my pets?" Suddenly Terra could see nothing outside. A ray of moonlight shone suddenly revealing an old woman. Her pupils were white and the place that was usually white was black. "It will only hurt for a few months." Terra screamed.
"She's here." Alfred murmured as he felt a change in the wind. He followed the sound of a scream hoping it wasn't Allison. He tripped over something.
"What's wrong with you Terra?" It sounded like Jordan.
"What's happening?"
"Terra screamed and now she's in the closet shaking."
"Allison?" Blue knocked on Allison's door.
"BITCH," Allison yelled. A high pitched scream like a cassette put on fast forward followed.
He backed up charging into the door, it gave way. There was a female midget on the ground a pool of blood on the ground. Allison stood there her hair covering one side of her face and her hand underneath it covering her eye and brow. Blood ran down her arm.
"Allison, are you okay." She turned to face him looking him in the eyes with her one eye.
"Allison!" Jordan ran up to her. Blue's arm was protectively over her as she walked down the hall to the miniature hospital at the third floor.
"Is she really dead this time?" Alfred edged out of the shadows.
"If decapitation and a heart wound didn't work nothing will." The left side of her face stung.
"Yea. it should do it but we must burn her and scatter the ashes." Alfred bit his lip.
"You do that," She walked towards the medical wing.

Kim walked through the abandoned streets of Toronto. Her sketchbook in hand and her pencils bulging out of her jacket pocket she was ready to sketch. Her eyes scanned for forgotten beauty. She noticed a blackened wall; it looked like there had been an explosion. A faint sound was carried to her ears as the wind picked up. Someone was whistling. She followed the sound to an abandoned playground. A man was outside it pouring some powder stuff here and there, half of his face was covered by hair, 'How can he see?' She kept out of sight hiding in the shadows and began to sketch.

Terra stared out the window watching Alfred scatter the ashes. A knocking was heard at her open door, "Can I come in?" Jason's voice drifted through one ear and out the other. He decided to enter anyway sitting next to her. "You alright?"
"She. I looked into her eyes and I saw my worst nightmares come true."
"It's alright, it was just an illusion and everyone's fine. Allison lost an eye but no one else was hurt."
"But I saw it all come true. and I could do nothing."
"Shh," He wrapped an arm around her.
". Thanks." She murmured as she hugged him. "No problem."

Kim had just finished his outline when the man with the funny hair walked into the jungle gym. "Huh?" She stuffed her collared pencils into their case and stuffed them in her pocket, flipping her sketchbook shut. She slowly crept away and wondered if he would be there again tomorrow. A devilish grin crossed her face as she inched away and started going toward her home.

The next day.

"Ugg. Allison clutched her head in her hands leaning over as she sat on the foot of her bed. Tears streamed down her face. She was glad no one could see her. She imagined the look on their faces, 'Oh. Allison's crying again.' Her crying sooner or later would annoy them to the point of them getting fed up and leaving. Even Blue would leave one day. She stood up wiping the tears off her cheek. She went to the bathroom wiping her face with tissues and dispensing the proof down the Thomas Crapper. She looked at her reflection, flushed with puffy, red eyes. She put on some black eye shadow and mascara, adding purple lipstick to the mix. She changed into a purple sleeveless shirt and black pants with rips on the sides of the legs. Donning leather sleeveless jacket and long striped gloves with the fingertips torn out for effect. Terra had cut her hair so it hung right down to her chin on the left side hiding her bandaged face. She put her hair in a stylish bun. She snuck out of her room and crept down the hall.
"Caught ya!" A voice came from Terra's room. It was Jason; Terra was playing some game on the TV with him.
'Wonder if they'll invite me to the wedding.' She subconsciously smiled as she silently zipped past the open door. Next was Jordan's room. He lay on his bed she noticed, '.eyes closed and breathing relaxed. Asleep? Not worth the risk.' She leaned against the wall. The control box was right in front of her staring her in the face. Smiling she approached the screen typing. -Access. Major power -Username. Halo_girl -Password Shortcake -Action. Shutdown for three minutes. Leave program V7 -Code. 123-2379-99882 -Access granted. -Would you like to be logged in when reboot commences -No -Commencing. 5. .
The lights went off. She crept passed the door, and reached the stairs. She climbed up barely touching the metal bar. Once she got to the front door she saw her motorcycle and helmet. Securing the chinstrap she climbed onboard. Her new motorcycle was still unbroken and there couldn't have been a better night to use it. The lights came back on. "Open minor vehicle exit 1 please." The door open and if you blinked you would have missed her. Leaves scattered behind her as she zipped down the road.

"Kade." Desiree flicked a piece of dust off her sleeve scowling, "Do we REALLY need to go to the 'market', tonight."
"You make it sound like I'm forcing you." He rolled his eyes glad they were hidden under his shades. "And YOU make it sound like you hate me." Desiree smiled at him menacingly.
The guard eyed them. D Please." He was a man with a black t-shirt, jeans, and shades on, Dez flashed her ID and Kade flashed his, a picture of him with his eyes closed and a cap on was on it. He looked human on it. "Go in," He opened the door. Just as he did a bike with a fiery designs etched down its sides came to a screeching halt. The rider had a matching helmet and wore a purple and black outfit. She pulled off her helmet. It was that woman from the jungle gyms.
Hitting the mould button she reached down and picked up the 'briefcase' that stood where her bike had moments before. "Hey Harvey."
She waved at the bouncer as he allowed two people to enter. "Hey Venom, everyone's been wondering where you were. I heard the gov. found ya." "Did but ya know me, I have connections everywhere. Anyways their little Fighter bots were too boring for 'little, old me'."
"Heh." He smirked at her.
"See ya." She looked around; the dance floor was alive with music. 'Best to stay away from the crowds.'
"Why I'll be. If it isn't Venom."
"Ugg hello Drake." 'The snotty Englishman stands out in this crowd. In ANY crowd.' she thought with a smile. He was elegantly dressed in a tux yet had his hair spiked up. He stood up as if he was better than everyone but Allison or 'Venom' knew better. He was weak, and short, and under the gel and bangs that topped his head was a large, bald spot despite the fact he was only thirty. "Sorry Drake I'm busy." She brushed him off.
"Oh pish-posh you have enough time to meet new friends. It has been bloody months since you've came." His accent was driving her crazy. "This is my college Kade and Desiree. Try not to be too harsh they are young, Venom."
She looked at the two thieves that happened to be the ones that she had caught before.
"You!" The cat boy snarled.
"So you know each other how nice." Drake chuckled. Allison started to giggle and soon it was a wholehearted laugh.
Kade snarled again, ". You. you're LAUGHING."
She smiled up at Drake, "I caught these kids trying to steal from my very room, very poorly at that." She chuckled at them.
"They only joined awhile ago so I guess it was before they."
"I want a rematch." Kade butted in.
"So you beat him. Are the rumours true then?" Drake smiled as he sipped from a fancy glass probly full of cheap wine.
"Huh?" She looked at him. "Are you really the one who defeated Din. and the watcher?"
"Huh?" She whipped around and gripped him by the collar, "Where the hell did you hear that?"
"The rumours? In the supernatural underground of course." He lifted his cup up and sipped his wine. "So it is you." He smiled as she hit him square in the jaw. "Ppph," he spit out blood. "Don't worry few know."
"Watcher?" The cat boy took a step back, his hood sliding down.
"Kade put your hood up. Oh yeah. ARE YOU SURE SHE IS THE WATCHER?"
"Yep. I cry blood and everything." Allison sat on a nearby barstool sighing, a bartender looked at her, "The usual."
"You." Kade trailed off. Suddenly he bowed, "Your majesty, I hope you can forgive my boldness. I did not know."
"Oh that's right Katu are VERY religious." Drake took another sip of his wine.
"Ugg, shit, now I can't even go here to fucking escape my damn 'birthright.' At least he doesn't know about my being here." The last part came as a mumble. "I'm going now." She left without a word from the other.

Kim was out there for ten minutes before the man came out. She barely slipped into an alley in time to go unnoticed by him. Unluckily a gang saw her slip in the alley. "Hey, sugar. Co-operate and you may survive."
"Stay away!" Kim backed away only to bump into another one of them. "Ahh!"
"Leave her alone." A voice came from the entrance.

Alfred walked into the narrow place, 'An Alley?' He heard breathing, at least five and the girl.
"Huh? Just a blind guy."
"What ya gonna do?"
"Huh?" He hit one in what he thought was the head.
"Thanks." The girl said before running somewhere behind Alfred.

As Allison was reaching her home a girl ran out into the street; she had to turn off the ignition to stop it in time. "Hey what the hell are ya doing'? Do ya want to die?"
"Please there's a gang and a blind guy in there," the girl pointed to the Alley across the street from her home.
"Shit. probly Alfred." She pulled off her helmet and ran towards the alley. The gang appeared to be in one of her friends groups. "Hey." She walked in.
The leader recognized her. "V-Venom."
"Now you seem to be smart people tell me. What don't ya understand about a 'NO GANG AREA'? Now I must beat ya all up and report it to. May right?" She smiled madly as she hit her fist against her open palm.
"Ahh. RUN!!!" The five, full grown men ran like babies.
"You alright Alfred?" He sported a bruise on his right cheek.
"Yeah. 'Venom'."
"PLEASE don't tell the others."
"Okay. but if they ask me directly I will tell them. I'm not lying just so you can hide you little 'job'."
"Great 'brotherly' support."
"You alright?" The girl stepped into the dark alley gingerly.
"Ya gotta name kid?" Allison looked at her. She had a book with her but it was hard to make out in the dim light.
"Kim."
"Ya an orphan or local?"
"L-local." "Hmm. in that case, ya never saw, heard or even whiffed around here; understand? You never saw us."
"Okay." "Good."
"Allison!!!" Jordan practically jumped on her as she walked in. She wore a pair of old jeans and a loose t-shirt. 'Odd. she must of changed before she ran off.' "Where were you?"
"Out to a secret 'The Family' HQ talking to my gangsta friends and oh yeah I am really the thief Venom." Her tone was dull.
"Huh? What the hell are you saying? Tell the truth!"
"Told ya he wouldn't believe it pay up!" She grabbed a ten-dollar bill out of Alfred's out stretched hand. "I wanted to test my new bike out." She smiled a fake smile as she walked past him and out the door toward her room.
"Damn it. Who does she think she is fooling?"
Alfred let out a little laugh, "She WAS out on her bike."
"Allison where were you?" Blue jumped off his bed as she walked off towards her room.
"I went biking." She waved him off seeming a little distracted and depressed.
"Biking? Then why are you sad?"
"Sad?" She blinked as if trying to think of a cover story. "I'm not sad. just thinking. I'm alright don't worry." She faked a grin.
'Are you really alright?' He watched as she walked off.
"YEP!"
(Sorry if its grammar is off or a word is wrong, Je ne sais pas François.) "Je ne sais pas. Non. Elle se parti dehors. Je vouloir. Auvoir. " ("I don't know. No. she is gone outside. I will. Bye.")
"Bonjour." Allison smiled at Julia as she open the door, "Comme ca va?" (How are you?)
"Ca va tres fatigue, et tu?" (I'm tired, and you?)
"C'est fantastique."
"You know French?"
"Yeah I learned a bit in school. So are you French?"
"Yes I'm from Quebec so it's my second language."
"Oh. well I gotta go to bed. 'Night."
"Bye."
Allison slowly walked towards her room. She knew it was only a matter of time till she was discovered to the public as either, the watcher 'All hail Halo' or Venom 'all kill Halo.' 'I dread both but one day I will have to reveal myself. So far Alfred, Drake, and those thieves know.' She lay down closing her eyes.
"Huh?" Blue looked around to see darkness surrounding him. Suddenly he was falling, consumed by a grief unfamiliar to him and an icy feeling in his heart.
He hit the ground hard. "No!!! Let me go. let him go!!! Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!"
'Allison. that was her voice.' He woke in a cool sweat. 'What... was that? Allison was calling out something? To who?' He lay there for at least ten minutes, maybe twenty, he couldn't tell. He heard a tap running. Gingerly he stepped out of his bed. His pyjamas blended in with the shadows. Walking out slowly he saw the kitchen light was on. He walked in. Allison wore a long nightshirt 'Pinch me I'm dreaming' was written on the front with crabs surrounding it. She was currently sitting at the table fiddling with a broken tracer. A glass of water was next it. "So you couldn't sleep either?" He sat on the chair across from hers.
"Visions do that to people, fucking pests." She seemed to be more tired than she acted.
"How can you tell between a dream and a vision?" He regretted asking as soon as the shadow fell over her face.
"You. can feel the worse kind of feeling. it consumes you till it feels like your heart has frozen. when you see the vision."
He thought back to his 'dream, "Does it seem like you're falling and when you hit the ground you see it?"
Her eyes widened, "How?"
"I had a dream. but now I think it was a vision. You were calling."
"You saw it but." She looked off, "How? Unless. when you saved me from that poison you entered my mind with Alfred. it has to be connected!"
"Yep!" Julia stood in the doorway, "A mind traveler has an endurance to mind links thus Alfred avoided it. Your minds bonded. not enough to share minds but if you thought something really hard and want to tell each other it. you should be able to send it. You might also share visions. Now. Will ya keep it down?"
"I never realized how tough it was on you to have the visions." Blue seemed downhearted.
'So unlike him. could he be worrying about me again? It nice to be worried about but he is hitting the 'too much' line.' She gulped down a mouthful of water wiping her mouth crudely with her arm. "I've always had them, ya probly got it worse."
"But than you've never got to truly live aren't you sad?"
"Growing up here. I know I lucky. why should I be sad?" she looked down at her almost empty glass trying to avoid the conversation that was emerging.
He realized she was avoiding an outright answer, "You never answered my question."
She felt his vision burrowing at her; odd feelings filled her. "Umm. I have to go back to bed." She pulled back "Good night." She hurried off to her room.

"It's you're fault."
She awoke in a cold sweat. Pulling on a pair of jeans, a matching jacket and a black shirt. Walking into the kitchen she noticed Blue, Jason and Terra were awake. "I'm going out again." She grabbed a yogurt out of the fridge.
Jason sighed. "Darn, Allison you ever consider sticking around. Jordan is going to die from worrying one day. What are ya gonna do anyway?"
She grabbed a spoon making sure not to even look at Blue. "I gotta get some stuff. Plus I haven't seen some of my friends in months."
" Who?" It was Jordan looking from the hall.
"People you would kill at first sight." She teased as she walked right past him. She looked at her watch 7:47 am Tuesday. 'Thirteen minutes left.' She rushed off towards the HQ. It zoomed up. Old stores surrounded 'Cassie's Club'. Their contents long gone and not one with an intact window, the stores were really skeletons.
The bouncer was yawning but she managed to say, "Hey Venom."
"Yo." She changed her bike quickly, grabbing the 'briefcase she walked in.
"Welcome." One of Drake's lackeys took her bike. Entering the club she was surrounded by her people.
"Hey girl!" Dj May, one of the head honchos came up. Her hair was up in a retro afro and she was wearing a tiger print bodysuit.
"Hi, what's new?"
"Well. everyone is buzzing about your 'rank' and that. there is a new thief, he's a Katu."
"Already damn beat and met him."
May laughed as Allison scanned the crowds, "Ya already bet everyone so that's no surprise but oh well."
As they approached the crowd one of them noticed Allison. "Hey its Venom... the watcher."
Before she knew it she was lifted up and being carried up onto the stage. She was already bitchy from her visions and this didn't help. "Shit. Put me fucking down."

Jordan walked up to the way Allison's tar tracks led. Suddenly, up there was a club. The bouncers seemed tough but he took a chance and tried to go through. "Hey no."
Allison zoomed out seeming annoyed. "Venom? Aren't ya staying?"
She never looked up and didn't see Jordan, "No, busy."
"Is it true what the whole Families been buzzing about? You're the watcher?"
"Yep. and I doubt I'm coming back soon."
Jordan butted in making her aware of his presence. "Does that mean you'll be staying home instead of running off?"
"HUH?" Allison looked up, "Shit! Damn! Fuck! Hell! Why'd ya follow me?" She looked pissed.
"YOU ARE THE THEIF VENOM AND DIDN'T TELL US?" Jordan shook her.
"Wonder why." her sarcastic words stabbed right through him, "You're a control freak, Blue thinks I'm a innocent little girl. Jason would never forgive me for not telling him in the beginning, Terra would freak and I barely know Julia."
"What about Alfred. YOUR OWN BROTHER do not tell me you forgot him!"
"He knows already Einstein." She hit a button zooming off in her bike. He walked home silently. Not making a sound until he walked into the kitchen. Everyone was there except Allison. He walked right up to Alfred. He snatched him up by his collar, "She is the fucking thief VENOM and you never told us???"
"What???" Everyone chorused except Alfred and Jordan.
"She made me promise to only tell if asked directly. She didn't want you involved."
"WHY THE HELL didn't she tell us." Jordan couldn't believe this.
"She felt you'd all either hate her for it or OVEREACT. She is her own person and has a right to lead her own life."
Jordan snarled "So she treats us like DIRT???"
Alfred didn't even flinch. "She lately is searching for your families and answers to questions."
"She is dealing with dangerous people." Jordan butted in.
Alfred smiled, "She is doing it for our sakes. She is used to this; she can handle it; and she deserves more respect than you give her. "
Jordan dropped the blind man. "SHE COULD HAVE TOLD US!!!"
"And you wouldn't have stopped her or at least acted like you are now?" Terra spoke up. 'Damn, they're right.' He walked off to her room.
Allison walked into the dark room. A dark shadow stared at her, "You seek something? Wisdom comes at a price."
"What is the cost for the answers for two questions?" "You must tell me your story. At my old age I could use a tale."
Allison felt it took an eternity to tell her life story. The old woman seemed to want to know everything. ".So you see why I must know how to stop Blue from seeing these visions. Also I must know what I should do now."
"You can't stop him from seeing your visions but you can make the visions clearer by meditating instead of sleeping; you can buy book to teach you in the store. Also you mustn't bar him off as you do now. You should discuss what the visions mean. and also your feelings for each other."
Allison sighed, "I told you. I could have imagined the 'I love you'."
"In order for the link to create you must love each other." She purred.
Allison took a step back surprised. 'So. then he does?' She blushed, "Fine and the other one?"
"I cannot tell someone something they must learn themselves. But beware doubt more than the wicked." The oracle waved her off.
"She has been gone for a while hasn't she?" Jason sat next to Blue on his bed.
"Yeah."
"Don't worry she come back. She won't leave us hanging." Jason comforted.
Blue sighed. "Yeah. I know. but what if Jordan flipped off at her like he did to Alfred?"
"Than I don't want to be around when she flips back at him. Darn. I'm more afraid of his reaction than actually." Jason trailed off.
"Actually what?"
"I asked her out, do you think Terra would say yes?"
'I'm glad some people still have normal worries,' Blue smiled, "No doubt."
Terra hit pause as Jason entered her room, "Hey, what's up Jase?"
"Umm." he looked down at his feet 'SO CUTE!'
"Terra, would you. would you. GO OUT WITH ME???" He blushed looking down.
Terra smiled 'He LIKES ME YEA!!!!!!' She shot up punching the air above her, "Yes!!!"
She was being held back by unknown men, unable to get at Blue as he was struck. "It's you're fault." A man; his face blurred; walked up tilting her head up towards him. "He is the one..."
"Huh?" Allison awoke on the motel bed. 'I got to go home. I feel a disturbance in the force (Lol couldn't resist (). I should but. I wonder what Jordan will be like?' She walked out of the abandoned motel.
The owners, townspeople, and tourists all left years ago. Most of the buildings lay in ruins along the cracked streets. A car lay upside-down on one side of the road, the driver never left it after it flipped. A stray cat walked up to her with a meow. It was a beautiful Siamese kitten with little brown feet and ears, its face and the tip of its ears were brown also, and its main coat was dirty but a pretty shade of the lightest of browns. It stared up at her. A few feet away a large cat and kittens lay. None of them were breathing. "Hey little guy, are you hungry? I got some munchies I bet you'd like." She scooped her up sitting on the pavement pulling out some sushi, leftovers from her breakfast. She laid it out along with a little water. The kitten ate faster than Allison would have guessed by its small stature. She stood carrying the little kitty in her pocket. Its head stood out the pouch purring. "I guess now we are alike except I got Alfred, but we orphans gotta stick together." She opened the briefcase zooming out of the dreary town 'Thank You For Visiting Please Come Again.' A billboard stuck out from the leaf-coved sidewalk.
A knocking was coming from outside the base. "Huh?" Jordan looked up from his new car. "Who is it?"
"Fredrick. Allison's friend." 'Great. another one of her 'friends', $%*)$^#$%^&*(.' (Didn't want ya to hear what he thought. yes that bad) "One second." He opened the door to suddenly have a gun in his face. "D'mn. who are you?"
A man smiled, he wore a fancy suit his hair gelled back. "Allison made a fool out of me and now its payback time." He signalled for the others to enter. Every one of them had guns.
Allison and the cat zoomed towards her home. 'Allison.' It was Blue's voice.
'He is sending his thoughts?' 'Huh? What is it?'
'A group of men. 'The Titan's Wraiths' sound familiar?'
'Damn it. tell Freddy Flintstone I already know he is there and to wash his neck, 'cause I'm going to chop his head off.' Subconsciously she tightened her grip on her bike. 'He deserves it. last time I warned him.'
'Okay. be careful.'
Smiling Allison muttered to herself, "will do." She turned going to T.F. HQ. She ran right past the guards.
May, Drake, Kade, Desiree, and Ivan were having a meeting from the looks of it. "Hello. What's wrong, Venn."
"Those shit assed bitches called Titan's Wreaths captured my fucking base and friends while I was gone and I'm going to kill 'em all. Now who wants ta have some damn fun?" She looked at the others expectantly.
"YEA!!! I'M GOING!!!" May jumped up grabbing her things.
"Ha ha, I'm gonna have me some fun." Ivan ran to get his explosives (yes Crazy Ivan- Red Alert 2.)
"Oh, how fun. this shall be a night to remember. What about you two want ta break in to her house again?"
"I'm there." Desiree jumped to it drawing out her twin sai, "Kade?"
"I guess," he eyed her and Allison.
"Here's the plan."
"Which one of you is 'Freddy Flintstone'?" Blue asked loudly.
"Don't call me that!" One of them snapped at him lifting him up by his collar.
"Allison already knows you're here and she isn't happy Freddy." Blue smiled his hands slipping from their bonds,
"Good. she shouldn't be." He dropped Blue unaware he was free of his bonds.
"She'll kill you." Terra yelled out.
"Oh really. you don't know of me do ya?" He paused. "I am Fredrick Manitoba, I owned a five million dollar corporation. I was so rich I was above the law. I met her in a bar and loved her from the moment I saw her." He posed dramatically.
'He is crazy.'
Tears poured out of Freddy's eyes, "But she. SHE WASN"T INTRESTED!!!" He pushed Allison's gadgets off the kitchen table.
"Get over yourself." Jordan snickered at the psycho.
"Huh? You got something to say? You know nothing!"
He charged at Jordan, "Oh yeah. I love her too but she is already taken."
"Oh. by who 'cause I." An explosion broke into his sentence.
"Hell-Yo!" Allison entered the room. Two men shot at her, missing horribly. Kade and Desiree appeared next to the captives. "I hope you haven't hurt my friends or I might get bloody violent." She felt anger inside her but she bottled it up. Fredrick snapped his fingers. Men came from all sides, grabbing them all. "Ugg let me GO. I'll fucking kill ya!"
"Hmm?" He lifted her face stealing a kiss. Her eyes widened and they caught Blue's, they were angry. Fredrick withdrew finally.
She growled, "I'll kill ya. you."
He approached Blue. "He is the one you'd rather kiss, hmm?" He raised a gun from his pocket.
"No. let me go. let him go!!! Blue!" He struck Blue hard on the cheek. 'Anger. I. am ANGRY!" Fredrick went back up to her. She felt herself snap, the bottled up emotions flooded breaking the bottle. "Taste the dirt. Taste your dirt, scum." He collapsed. they all did. Blue brushed a few off him. running towards her. Hugging her tightly in his arms. (Mushy, mush I know.) "I. they're dead." She was stunned 'how? What did I. How?' She started to shake.
"God Allison your eye its." Jordan stared at her.
She felt a funny feeling in her left cheek. A meow came from her pocket startling her. She blinked opening and seeing out of both eyes.

Alfred died two months after Freddy's death from an infection that slowly grew in his eyes. A year later Allison and co were still fighting evil. Desiree and Kade managed to find out a central station to the anti- watcher effort. During the final battle Jordan was sucked into a black hole. He sacrificed himself for Allison. Blue also died in the effort. Terra and Jason however became happily married. Allison became the Watcher, immediatly becoming stern. For she feared a loose upbringing would cause her and Blue's child, Dana to suffer the same fate.
