"Well...uh." He hesitated. Most thought he was crazy but the dreams told him different.

"Come on, out with it," said Sara.

"I'm kinda like you, 'cept I dont get payed. I get dreams from higher beings. See people with my kind of abilities are supposed to be evolveing to a point of leaving their physical bodies behind.

"The beings cant interfere with normal humans but since i'm like their same race they meddle with my life. Giveing me dreas of people and places i have to go to so they can indirectly interfere with this plane of existence."

Sara stared at him with the same look as everyone else. That look of crazy.

"I'm supposed to prtect the girl too. Dont know why but I am," said Greg a little flustered.

"So guess you dont have any more info than me."

"Nope, But I know who does, come on." Greg grabbed Sara's arm and pulled her out of the bar.

Alexx woke up and looked aorund her. This was not her room; it was far to white to ever be her room. She was at Peter's house, she remebmered now.
"oh you're awake!" pete exclaimed from the corner of her bed, where he was perched.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"I was hoping we could go for a walk," he answered.
"Um, sure. Just give me a minute to get changed," Alexx answered, closing the door as Pete walked out, and throwing some random clothes that she kept at his house, just in case.

Sara allowed herself to be pulled out of the bar and into a cab. She had no clue where Greg was taking her. But she didn't care. She wanted to figure out why this girl was so special, she was only seventeen and didn't seem too klutzy, just stupid. Even the other guy seemed more important than this girl.

Greg pulled her out of the cab into in front of a house.

"Here it is," Greg said.

"Here what is?"

"This is where he lives, his name's Peter. It is my understanding that he knows the entire story and is going to put the puzzle together for us."

"U-huh, right then; and where did you learn this?"

"I don't know how I know, I just know."

"Alright, and are you sure this is the right place?"

"Don't you trust me?"

"I trust you with my life, but I don't trust you with your own."


"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I think you can be idiotic."

"Everyone is idiotic from time to time, come on Sara, give me some credit."

Sara smiled and wrapped her arm around his, "I give you more credit than you deserve sometimes. But right now I think going into that house could be the biggest mistake of our lives."

"Hey you're immortal, remember?"

"It's not my head I'm worried about, I can handle myself-"

"As can I."

"Alright then," Sara sighed and they walked up to the door. "Do you think this Peter will recognize us?"

"I don't know, perhaps. We'll find out when he answers the door." Greg pushed the doorbell.

Peter led Alexx down the sidewalk to the small town park. She didnt know where they were going, but Peter was with her and taht was enough.
"Alexx, what did Matt tell you the other night?" Peter asked suddenly.
"Matt? Who are you talkng about?" she asked quickly, trying to play dumb.
"Alexx, I know about Mathius, as well as your other contacts. Did he tell you that I was going to talk to you today?" Alexx nodded, completely and utterly dumbfounded.
"Ok, good. Now pay close attention. Alexx, you're special. You have an ancient power that sets you away from everyone else. You have the Sight." Alexx looked at her borther stupidly, struggling to grasp waht he was saying.


*Alice, remember that Peter is not home when you get there.*

Greg rang the door bell again and again. No answer.

"Come on Greg," Sara said, "he's not home lets just go in."

"No thats illeagle."

"I'm supposed to protect this girl, boss'll bail me out if necessary." She gave him her all powerful "please" look.

"Fine, we'll go in and wait for him. He'll be back eventually."

Sara breathed on the lock and as easy as it wasn't latched the door swung open. She grinned and walked in.

"Sara don't touch anything!" Greg whispered as she began to finger through the books.

"Its okay Greg," she said, "I've read all these before highschool. I was just looking. Take a deep breath."

Greg gave her a dirty look and shoved his hands deep in his pockets. Sara picked up a book and read some of it.

"Sara!"

"Oh calm down Greg. Its not like we're going to get in trouble. Unless you're wrong about him knowing everything. In which case I'll have to kill him."

"Sara don't kill him! I'm positive that he knows everything."

"Only fools are positive."

"Are you positive?"

"Only fools are positive? Yes, I'm sure."

Greg cursed himself for trying that one, the only one that she had taught him. Sara smiled and sat down and turned on the tv.

"Sara!"

"Breathe Greg, it's all okay."

"No its not, listen to the hospital."

Sara closed her eyes and focused on the hospital. Alexx wasn't there. Where the hell was she?

"Holy crap! Greg we've got to find her!"

"Keep listening."

Sara continued to listen, but this time to the roads. She heard them. Peter and Alexx walking down the street talking.

"Greg was that revenge for the book thing?"

"No...well, yeah sorta. But more to inform you to where they are."

Sara cast him her evil look that would've made any other man shrivel in fear. But Greg knew that She would never hurt him.






I'm hopin for a romantic thing between Greg and Sara. and sorry bout spelling mistakes i'm rushing.

"So I have...the sight?" Alexx questioned as she walked home, her brothers arm protectively around her.
"Yup. It's a great thing, you'll see. Grams has it too."
"Really?" seh always knew her gramma was stranger than most.
"Yeah, and we have meetings. You've been invited to the next one by the way. We're not sure when yet, but you have to come."
"Ok...?"
"But you need to be careful. Don't tell anyone, tehy might want to hurt you for it."
"Hurt me, why?"
"It'll all be explained later." Petes house was just coming into sight, and Alexx was starving.

Gotta go, this is fun!

Sara finally convinced Greg to chill and watch TV with her. They sat on the couch and watched whatever movie was on TNT. Greg was sitting straight up and Sara was leaning against him.

"Sara," Greg whispered.

"Greg," Sara whispered back.

"Are you awake?"

"I don't sleep."

"Why?"

"I'm half vampire. I can't decide when I want to sleep so I just don't."

"You should sleep, you sound dead."

"Nice choice of words."

"I mean you sound like your really tired."

"I still can't sleep."

"Why?"

"Because we've got to wait for Peter and Alexx."

"Sleep Sara, I'll wake you when Peter gets here."

Sara began to protest but she let herself sleep. She had slept like this only one time before. Exactly seven years ago, the day after he had saved her. Only an hour after she had woken up they had argued. It was such a pathetic argument, and it ended with the end of their friendship.

Greg remembered the argument too. He didn't know why he said the things he did, it was all his fault. It was his fault that they hadn't spoken in seven years. He replayed it in his head:

Sara had woken up and they were talking. She had said thank-you over a thousand times, and she had finally asked him a question that he couldn't answer and not be a jerk.

"So why did you save me?"

"It looked like you needed it."

"It didn't occur to you that I could handle myself?"

"You were out back of a club and it was dark. You looked like you were in trouble."

Greg pulled himself out. He didn't want to remember the whole thing. It hurt too much. He contented himself to watch the romantic movie that was on and hold Sara close to him. Her breath against him was like smelling melting chocolate. He rested his head against hers and soon fell asleep as well.


He was poked some time later. He shot awake and stared at Peter, who had only poked him.

"Greg what are you doing here?" Peter whispered.


"We are trying to figure out whats going on." Greg went to wake Sara up.


"Let her sleep Greg. She hasn't slept in seven years."

"How do you know this?"

"I know everything that's going on remember?"

Greg pretended to remember. "I promised her that I'd wake her up."

"She won't be too mad."

"Be that as it may I've broken too many promises in my life time. One too many to her."

"Just let her sleep for a bit longer and come and have a cup of coffee with me. I'll wait to tell you later."

"Peter who are these people?" Alexx had exclaimed when they walked in the door.
"Shh!" Peter shushed her, but not soon enough to keep both of them awake. The man woke up and looked at Peter tiredly. Alexx stood and listened to their discussion, feeling very left out, but eventually got that Peter and this man named Greg were going to go into the kitchen. "Alexx, stay here." Peter ordered.
"But Peter, I'm hungry. And who is he?" Alexx asked, keeping her tone down to a whisper.
"A friend. A very old friend that I haven't seen in a long time. Go upstairs and play online or something until I call you down."
"But!"
"No. Go upstairs now!" Peter's voice was full of authority and Alexx knew better than to argue. Her brother was apparently just as shocked as she was. She sulked up the stairs and fell across her bed tiredly; it had been a long morning.

Greg leaned Sara straight up so he could stand up and position her better. He put a pillow under her and pulled the shawl over her. For a moment he looked into her sleeping face. He hadn't seen her in seven years and this was the last look in her face that didn't have anger in it. It looked like that again.

Reluctantly Greg followed Peter into the kitchen.

"Peter what's going on?"

"I thought you were going to wait until Sara woke up?"

Greg sighed, Sara would be furious with him if he got any information before her. It was funny, he hadn't seen her in seven years and suddenly he was terrified at the thought of getting into an argument with her.

"Alright then... you pick a topic."

"This is a really good brand of coffee."

"Really what kind is it?"

"Folgers."

"That's the cheapish stuff isn't it?"

"Part of the reason its a good brand."

"What kind of car do you drive?"

"A old mustang, you wouldn't know to look at it though, it needs a lot of work."

"Mustangs get good mileage."

Their idol car talk continued for another three pots of coffee before Sara woke up and heard them in the next room. She sat up and realized that somebody had placed her in a sleeping position. Greg was going to die if Peter had told him anything yet.

She listened hard and heard a girl mumbeling in her sleep up stairs and Greg and Peter talking about cars. Greg was lucky, he hadn't been told anything yet, he would get to live.

Slowly she walked from the living room to the kitchen.

"Ah, Sara, you're awake!" Peter said, "Greg and I were just talking about cars, would you like a cup of coffee?"

"Sure." Coffee had no affect on her but it had a pleasant taste. She'd wake up soon enough. "I can only assume that you're Peter. And since I'm assuming this may i ask you, what the hell is going on?"

Alice, Peter is my brother. I think you're confuzzled. He's my only brother. I'm upstairs sleeping, as you will see momentarily.

"AHHH!" Alexx screamed, jolted upright from her horrible nightmare. She heard the clatter of feet rushing up the stairs and her door was thrown open.
"Alexx, are you ok?" Peter asked, running over to her bed and sitting next to her. He pulled her into a tight hug, trying to stop her shaking. She was crying; this had been teh worst nightmare yet, and she didn't think she was going to wake up this time.
"What happened?" Sara asked, stepping forward to make sure her charge wasn't harmed.
"What did you see?" Greg asked, obviously knowing what had happened.
"He....He was there...again. He w-w-won't stop...chasing me....He had me that time..." she was stammering, and broke inot tears again, not willing to continue.
"It's ok Alexx, it's all better now. I'm here, and I won't let him get to you; ever." He held her tight and let her cry, somethign seh tried very hard not to do anymore. Sara and Greg stood there awkwardly and watched.

Sara stayed with Greg on the other side of the room. She had never been face to face with one of her charges like this before. It was her job to stay distant and unattached to them, which was why boss had picked her.

When Alexx stopped crying she turned to Sara and Greg, "who are you?"

"I'm Sara, I was hired to protect you."

"I'm Greg... I guess I'm sorta with her but I'm not getting paid." Greg's voice was full of light humor, while Sara's was the same cold tone she used for her work.

"Was it you two who pulled me out of the house?"

"Yes that was us."

Peter turned and looked at them with a brilliant look of horror on his face, "that was you two?"

"Yes that was us Peter," Sara said, her tone no longer cold it was light and full of humor.

The look Peter gave them said that if Alexx wasn't in his arms he would give them the biggest hug in the world. He turned back to Alexx.


"Alexx in this dream did he say anything?"

"Yes," Alexx started to tremble in Peter's arms. "He said that this time he wouldn't let me go, his arms felt so real. So tight." Alexx started to babble and sob. Peter hugged her tighter.

Greg whispered in Sara's ear, "come on Sara, lets give them a minute." They slowly turned and walked out back into the hall. Sara leaned against the wall and Greg leaned next to her. Sara was still tired, perhaps that was why she didn't sleep; sleep was like a drug addicting. She leaned against Greg and closed her eyes.

She hadn't stood like this with him in seven years, just after he had saved her she leaned against the wall like this with him. She remembered it clearly and for the first time since it happened it didn't hurt to think about it.

Peter and Alexx walked out past them and down stairs. Peter looked behind and motioned for them to follow.

"Don't worry Alexx, you'll feel better after you have some coffee," Peter comforted her. Sara hoped that maybe coffee would help her wake up, other wise she'd fall asleep again.

Sara walked down the narrow hall in front of Greg and sat next to him at the kitchen table. She sipped the coffee and felt the caffeine flow through her like a drug. She was awake. Caffeine worked too well on her.

After a few hours of talking Greg and Sara were in his car driving towards her bosses house. Sara had to figure out why her two most recent charges were so important. Some how Derby fit in there, Derby is her first charge boss knew something. He had to know something. He sent her to Alexx.

"Sara are you sure that he will tell us?"

"No clue."

"Very comforting." He turned and looked at her, "you look tired."

"The coffee wore off, I'll wake up in a sec."

"You should try sleeping regularly, it's really nice."

"Can't in my line of work."

"Well you should get some sleep now."

Sara didn't fight it. She liked sleeping around Greg, it made her feel... well small. She always felt big, she towered over anyone she wanted to and could handle herself in any situation any more. But yet... it was nice to feel protected once in a while.

"So what do we do now?" Alexx asked tiredly. She was confused, and suddenly these strangers who had saved her life just...left.
"Wait." Peter answered simply, pushing her a cup of coffee. Her mother would never approve, but she didn't care.
"Fine, then I'm going out." she answered.
"Are you sure thats a good idea?"
"Yes, I need to go."
"Ok but be back before dark," Peter warned. "You're gonna see Hale, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Be careful."
"Duh."
"I shouldn't let you go..." he suddenly muttered.
"But you trust him."
"Yes, I know that. His powers are...substantial. You're safe with him." Alexx ran out of thte house towards The Place.

I hate u all! i'm gone for a weekend and you ruin my character!!! I am mad! Well...i still have a few suprises.

"Well?" Peter walked over to the man standing in the alley.

"What? Me?" He chuckled. Suddenly he flew into the wall. Not fast enough to kill him but enough to hurt.

"Funny, but i will kill you next time."

"yeah we need you to go find some...well old friends"He smiled.

"Okay where?"

"outside Chicago."

"Bye Jack." He walked away.

"Pete."

"He wants to talk to you first."

Sara shot awake, launching herself so far foward she almost hit the dash board. The dream was so vivid, so real. She had half a mind to go break Peter's neck. She knew she had to get Alexx away from him as soon as she could.

"Sara are you okay?"

"Greg! Turn around! We've got to get Alexx out of there!" Without asking anymore Greg made a sharp U-turn in the middle of a ONE WAY STREET and sped back to the intersection.

"Okay now that we're going back as fast as my poor old car can go... Why do we have to get Alexx out of there?"

"The Peter she's with... Its just not her brother!"

"What?!" Greg looked over at her and almost ran the car off of the road.

"GREG!" Sara shouted grabbing the wheel and steading it. "For the love of God watch the road!"

Greg turned back to the road, "what do you mean thats not her brother?!!"

"I mean thats like an evil twin!!!"

"Evil twin? Soap opera much."

"Shut up Greg this is serious! Alexx is in trouble!"

"How much trouble though?"

Sara looked at him like he was an idiot, "don't you get it? Evil twin equals bad, evil twin wants to recriute Alexx into something not good! We've got to go get her and go find the real Peter."

"Should we alert her of this?"

"Not until we get her out of there, if we tell her now she won't trust us. Sadly I think we'll have to put her in danger by his hand."

"Are you sure its the Peter she's with now thats the evil one?"

"Je ne sais pas," Sara had intended to speak English but had accidently spoken French instead. The last time she had spoken French was when she was when she had followed Derby to French. DERBY! Sara closed her eyes and focused on what Derby looked like. He looked exactly like Peter!

"Sara?" Greg asked, "Sara are you okay?"

"Drive faster Greg!" Sara knew everything now, Derby was the oblivious good guy, and Peter was the faithful follower. "We have to get Alexx out of there like now!"

Greg broke almost every traffic law as he drove back to Peter's house. Sara jumped out of the car while it was still moving and ran up and banged on the door.

Calmly Peter opened it and said, "oh hello Sara, would you like to come in?"

"No time, where's Alexx?!!!"

"She's up in her room."

Sara ran past Peter but Greg was detained. Sara ran up into Alexx's room flung open the door and saw the empty room. She turned and shouted for her. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she was blocked by Peter.

"Peter we don't have time for this!" She said trying to pretend not to know about him.

He grabbed her wrist and said, "of couse we do, we have all the time in the world."

"Peter let me go!" Sara drop kicked him and ran out the door dragging Greg from the living room to the car.

Sara just sat in the car staring straight ahead for a moment.

"Sara? Sara?! What happened?"

"Just get us out of here!" Greg pushed the gas pedal full force and sped out into the street.

"Oh well that was rude," Peter said from the back seat. He was positioned quite relaxed, like he was taunting them by simply being there. "Sara you should know better than to be rude. My dear brother should have taught you that."

Sara made an attempt to strike at him with the knife she always kept in her boot. He grabbed her hand and twisted it around her, pulling her into the backseat.

"Peter, you slimebag, let me go."

"I don't think I will. At least not yet, once I get your boss you will be free to go. Well you'll be out of my hands at that point. I'll leave you to Him."

"Peter you-" Greg said

"Evil sonofa-" Sara said.

"Oh well will you get over it?"
