It was the same again the darkness and shadows Fiona stood there it was the same again a dream no a nightmare Fiona stood there in the darkness there was no light no sound but she could feel the eyes watching her, but she couldn't see where they were, she felt like she was being hunted by a predator, even through she knew it was a dream she couldn't help but feel the fear, her eyes scanned the dark in vein, then suddenly without warning a shadow lunged from the darkness she opened her mouth trying to scream but thankfully she woke up, sitting up breathing heavily she eyes darted around the room to reassure herself that she was awake, she stared forward at her loyal companion Hewie lay in his bed with his Head raised his ears perked up.

"Sorry if I woke you boy" she stared over to the clock 6:50 Apr 13 'no point going back to bed' she got up stretching as she rose and walked over to the bathroom the warm water from the shower washed away the last bit of her sleepiness.

It had been only 8 months since the horror of belli castle and Fiona was looking to move forward at last, after finding her way back to civilisation she had spun a lie about wondering in the forest looking for help after the car crash that had taken her parents she left out formation regarding the castle as she never wanted to go back there and she felt it would be better for Debilitas if the castle was undisturbed she had put the past behind her but suddenly over the last 2 weeks her sleep had been troubled by the same nightmare but why now.

She had began the task of rebuilding her life, after burying her parents she inherited there house and positions but unfortunately the old family home proved to be an all to painful reminder of what she had lost and in a matter of weeks she had sold up and moved out in the hope of a clean break. She now lived in a small house in England it was just a 15 minute walk to the local town.

She finished up in the shower and put on a pair of jeans a plain white t-shirt and a pair of white trainers she tied her hair back into a pony tail satisfied that she was presentable she grabbed Hewie's lead and her coat she headed for the door "come on boy" Hewie jumped up the door in excitement. Together they walked out the house down the drive and off on the routine walk through the nearby fields.

The air was cold and she was thankful for her coat, the sky was dotted with blue and grey it appeared that the weather had yet to make its mind up and could still go either way typical British spring morning. Once she was in the field she let Hewie off the lead and he joyfully ran about smelling the ground around all the time staying close to Fiona that protective instinct had never left and Fiona was grateful for that.

The Alarm went off with a vengeance at 7:00am sharp Leon hammered his fist into the off button she stared at the clock 'dam it the one chance I get for a lie in and I leave the stupid alarm on

"aaarrr" he stared up at the ceiling of hotel room 'ok get it together this is the first bit of time off you've had in months come on free vacation so you don't get a lie in you can sleep when your dead'

3 weeks ago the British government got in contact with the Whitehouse they had intercepted a transition from a terrorist cell was setting up a meeting with the hope of purchasing BOW's Leon was sent over to advise on the operation but thankfully for once things couldn't have gone smother they intercepted the meeting secured the BOW which was thankfully a con but the information gained in interrogations lead to the arrests of 2 more cells in the Manchester and Liverpool area, the operation had gone so well that the white house advised him to use up the rest of the stay at the hotel an offer he couldn't well refuse in his head he formed a pain for the day 'ok get up shower shave breakfast then I guest walk around' the hotel was nice but he though it would be better to eat out get a taste of the county.

Soon after he was showered and dressed in his favourite jeans and a blue shirt sporting soon pointless righting and his brown jacket he slipped on a pair of boots and walked down to the dining room

"Good morning Mr. Kennedy" smiled George the 40 year old balding hotel owner who was surprisingly active in the hotel but Leon supposed it was a small establishment and he had to admit seeing the top gun in the trenches give the hotel a nice felling "once again you're the first up" Leon smiled at him

"And today I am going for that full English breakfast you promised me the first day I got here"

"Glad to here it if you want to take a seat I will be out with you shortly" Leon sit on a table by the window the in a matter of minutes he retuned with a large diner plate full of food Leon looked at the plate 'bacon mushrooms fried bread 2 eggs beans hash brown and a couple and black disks

"What's this he said cutting up the closet disk" George smiled

"O that its black pudding" Leon pushed a portion of the disk into his mouth

"Not bad" George waited until Leon had finished the first piece before adding

"Its boiled pigs blood" the colour drained from his face

"Your kidding right" George just smiled and swung his head from side to side "your evil" George just walked away, Leon just ignored the final piece of black pudding the worked this way through the rest of the breakfast finally he stood up said goodbye to George and walked out off the hotel into the cold street 'well' he thought to himself 'if bad things happen in threes then that's two down'
