"Mar," the voice called.

"Mar," the voice continued, "You must find her Mar." Jak wanted to refuse the dream but it kept him until it could finish. "You must find her Mar, she needs you and you need her." He tried to ask who he had to find but it released it's hold on him and he bolted up from the bed, his body clammy and cold.

Keira reached out for him in her sleep, Jak's movement doing little to stir her from her deep sleep. A cry came out from the next room.

Kara. Jak thought. Seeing how I'm not going to sleep anytime soon. He got out of bed and let Keira sleep for once. He entered the little pink room to go to the little crib holding a small, crying, 3 month old Kara.

"Hey, Kiddo." He whispered to her, his daughter, as he picked her up from the crib to try and settle her. "I know how you feel." Jak carried the little thing to the rocking chair in the corner to try and rock Kara back to sleep. The little one seemed content by being held by her father. Kara's big blue eyes looked at him from under blue bangs like her mother's but as her hair started to get longer he noticed the green in it. She started to fuss again and Jak poked her nose. "Enough of that."

Kara tilted her head a bit but she stopped fussing. Jak smiled at his daughter and rocked in the rocking chair until the big blue eyes watching him closed and a thumb went in the fussy mouth. Jak sighed and put the infant back before he turned right into Keira.

Keira leaned onto one leg and smirked. "You could have woken me up."

Jak shrugged and attempted to walk past her back to their bedroom. "I was awake anyway."

Keira put her hand on his chest and stopped him. "Did you have that dream again?" She knew the answer when the only reply she got was a shrug. Keira shook her head and sighed. "No leads on who it wants you to find?" Another shrug.

They stood in the hall in silence for a little bit before Keira made the comment that they should get back to bed, since Kara was actually asleep for once. She kissed Jak good night before moving passed him to go back to bed.

Jak turned to check on Kara one last time before going to bed to be met with a blue armored female specter standing over the crib and reaching for the baby. He had no gun. He lunged to protect baby Kara but the specter grabbed his arm and pulled him close.

"Find her." The specter whispered into his ear. "You must find her, Mar." It was the same voice from his dream...but the specter disappeared before he could attempt to question it. When Jak checked on Kara he found the symbol of Mar around her neck, he removed the amulet, and put it away in one of her clothing drawers. Only two more glances to check on the baby before going back to bed. He told Keira what had happened the next morning. They both decided that Kara should be kept somewhere safe until these dreams Jak had were rectified.

Samos came and got Baby Kara later that day. He carried her in a small green sling around his shoulder. Keira hugged and thanked her father. "Are you sure you can do this Daddy?"

"Yes, Keira." Samos waved her off. "I took such good care of the two of you." He smiled.

Jak kissed the tiny baby's cheek. "Give him hell, Kara." He winked.

Samos stomped his foot. "Don't encourage her."

Kara giggled an adorable giggle and grasped her father's finger. Jak looked into the big blue eyes again and held the baby still so Keira could get in a kiss too.

Keira gave the infant a toy screwdriver. "See you soon sweetness."

Samos and Jak talked out when they would visit and Kara's schedule. Keira gave her father a spreadsheet. Samos took the schedule before glancing at it for a moment while putting it in his bag. Jak saw them back to Samos' home in the palace (where Ashelin was letting him stay until his home in a wooded area could be completed). Jak was about to leave when he spotted the small toy screwdriver on the ground.

Kara must have thrown it. Jak thought and rolled his eyes. He picked up the tiny toy and started to go into the palace when something caught his eye. Far in the distance he saw the specter. Standing there. Staring at him.

He grabbed his gun and ran toward her. Someone crossed between them and she disappeared. Skidding to a stop he cast glares in all directions. Nothing. Jak growled to himself and almost threw down his gun in frustration. Still on high alert, he glared around again but still nothing. He snorted out his frustration and the breath he had been holding, he put his gun away. Jak walked to the palace, gave his infant daughter back her discarded toy, and walked back home to Keira.

As Keira and Jak settled in for their first night of real sleep since Kara was born Jak felt a sense of dread. He just knew the dream would come...if only if gave some real evidence on who the hell he was supposed to find.

Jak closed his eyes and sure enough the dream came to him.

"Mar…" The voice whispered.

"Find her Mar." The voice whispered again. "Find her."
