-intro-

Finn whitman was having strange dreams that night. He thought it was strange too, that he would have those dreams right before he crossed over. The dreams all related to him being a dhi and it freaked him out. He wasnt even worried or anything about the overtakers. He just had a feeling something bad was coming his way.

-ch.1-

Charlene was sitting at the lunch table in Lee school ,just talking away. For once she seemed to forget about being a DHI . She liked the feeling. Her friend next to her said, " Hey look it the new guy. I mean the HOT new guy. OMG hes coming over here! Stay cool!"

" Like you?" Charlene said. The new guy, Travis Wood, had blond hair with hazel eyes. He walked right over to the table she was sitting. He said to her," Your one of those DHI's right?"

She said starstruck, " um..yeah. i... i am."

" So im guessing you cross over at night right?" he said with a laugh. It stunned her a bit. " um.."

" You know. The book series?"

" ohh! oh yeah! haha.." forcing a laugh.

" Wanna hang out sometime..Like after school?"

"Um sure! yeah! that'd be great!"

" See you around."

He walked away. She was excited and she didnt realize she was meeting the others after school too.

After school came and she saw him waiting for her. She walked over or a cross between walking and trying not to skip happily. " Hey", she said.

"Hey."

Sweet, she thought, just any afternoon with me and him. -ding- She pulled out her phone. It was a text from Willa.

WILLATREE: where r u ?

Charlene paused. She completely forgot! " umm..im so sorry.. i have to go i forgot i promised my friends i would met them. maybe another time like tomorrow?" she hoped she didnt blow it.

"Its cool. see you tomorrow."he winked and with that she sprinted towards finn's house.

She came in finn's house to see the philby, finn, willa, and maybeck.

" im sorry im late! i .. uh.. forgot." she said.

" what were you doing?"asked willa.

"none of your business."

"ooo. whats with you?"

" sometimes the whole dhi thing gets on my nerves is all. "

There was an awkward silence for a few moments.

" coming from the person who jumped into action to save wayne." maybeck said.

"look, im all for that. i just ... "

" have better things to do?" said maybeck.

" No! nevermind okay. oh btw is okay if i miss coming over tomorrow? i have plans..."

" plans to do what? something is going on in the park and we need to find out what it is."

Suddenly jess came downstairs. she looked worried, " you guys.. somethings up. and its bad."

" whats bad?" asked finn. she wouldnt look at him. " jess? whats going on?"

" someones after you.. i dont know who, but they.." her voice got quieter to where no one could hear her.

" they?"

" look finn. when you cross over into the parks. be careful. "

" are you saying that finn is going to die because of some freak?" asked maybeck.

"no." said jess.

" because thats the way its sounding."

" how do u get 'dying' from ' be careful'?"

" be careful cuz you might die. duh."

" youre impossible!"

" your never clear!"

" what is that suppost to mean!"

" you dreams are USELESS."

" your useless! all you do is complain! ' do we have to save wayne?' cant we just leave AK to sleep?'"

" least i wasnt an OT!"

"you might as well be!"

" yet you were!"

" i was under a SPELL!"

" sure about that?"

"im outa here."

" me too."

they walked out of the house furious with each other leaving the others.
