Brennan was running as fast as she could. The ground underfoot sped beneath her as she sprinted across the rough terrain. The familiar feeling crept over her again as she ran, the same feeling of being watched, the feeling that she couldn't escape the eyes that were everywhere.

She took a step off the path, in the same place as always tuning into the woods. It got darker and darker under the shade of the trees, although none of the branches had any leaves on them they were so deeply entwined they formed almost a roof above the deep green forest floor. Temperance had ran this path so many times she thought she could run it with eyes closed but of course she never dared to try not with the felling of all those eyes following her.

Then something changed; there was a bell, more like a series of bells… or chimes. What were they? She thought as she ran, by this time she could feel the beads of perspiration rolling off the back of her neck. There were those bells again, more of them they sounded frantic, like some one pounding on a xylophone for their life.

There were more bells. Each time they rang they were more frantic, closer together. The next set of chimes were followed by a pounding, Brennan was more afraid then ever before. She ran as hard as she could but she could not distance herself fro the pounding, it always seemed to be right behind her.

There was one more pound then, followed by a mans voice calling her name.

"Bones!"

Temperance stopped running for the first time.

"Bones! OPEN THE DOOR!"

Brennan Jumped up, the side of her room lit dimly by the red glow of her alarm clock. 5:45 it said.

"TEMPERANCE BRENNAN. Are you in there?"

She heard him scream from the hall. She ran to the door and threw it open. All of a sudden she was attacked. Booth flung his arms around her and hugged her tightly as she struggled pointlessly against his iron grip. Booth refused to let go so Brennan just relaxed and let the man hug her.

Booth brought a hand from Brennan's waist to her chin, lifting it to look into her eyes.

"Why the hell wouldn't you open the door?" booth said. He sounded mad, but Brennan though she recognized the familiar softness behind the anger. "are you deaf or did you just want me to thin you had been kidnapped?"

"Sorry booth I was asleep. What were you planning to do if I had been kidnapped?" Bones asked, as she looked up from within his arms.

"why does it matter? Are you planning on telling me what I should have done if you where kidnapped? – Why do you care what I would do? As long as I did it…" he looked down at her, with a questioning glance. When their eyes met Brennan did not know what to say, so she just looked at him, eventually his gaze softened and was empty of all the anger it had held before.

Brennan looked away for a second then back to booths face; he looked at her blankly then flashed a brilliant smile she often thought of as his charm smile. Booth released her and stood back for a moment.

"Want some coffee booth?" Temperance asked as she stood to the side letting booth through the doorway.

"Well, yea. " Seeley answered as he crossed across the room to the kitchen to join Bones.

As Bones and Booth waited for coffee they sat at the counter. Bones told him all about the reoccurring dream she had been having about the woods and how she ran and ran. She also told booth that was why she hadn't gotten to the door right away and how the noises of him banging on her door had entered the dream.

"But its not rational for me to just keep running, I should stop and figure out who is watching me or following me or… what ever. But I cant stop running I want to but I cant, then when you called me I couldn't get further away from your voice so I stopped. I don't know, it's just not rational."

As bones got up to get the coffee that was now ready, Booth spoke…

"Its just a dream bones, anyway I wanted to tell you that we've got a body that was found down at valley forge state park in PA, before you scared the crap out of me that is."

Booth and Brennan made eye contact across the kitchen and booth thought about what he really would have done if bones had been kidnapped.
