I'll go a head and warn ya before and after the sex scene(s) so you can read them if you want or not I don't think you'll miss much is you skip it:) enjoy.


It was the morning after their anniversary and they were going to take today slow. The shop wouldn't be opened since it was Sunday, and they were fine with just staying in bed all day.

Peaking from the covers to see it was morning, Alec snuggled into Dennis who lazily pulled her closer with one arm.

He let out a tired sigh and placed light kisses on her exposed neck.

(Warning)*wink wink*

She giggled when it started to tickle but the urge to laugh became the urge to kiss. She threw a leg over him and pushed herself up to straddle him.

...

Holding his face in her hands, he sat up to wrap and arm around her and roll her on her back.

"And now Mrs. Rafkin." He declared." I shall ravish you!"

She let out a laugh and wrapped her legs around his waist.

He started to kiss a trail from her neck and down to her stomach and back up to kiss her lips.

She started breathing heavily and arched into him as he pushed into her. They both groaned.

Arching against him she slid her hands down to his ass, leaving red marks all down his back and back up to run her hands threw his hair as they kissed.

"Let's just...stay here all day." She panted.

He chuckled, sitting up and taking her with him.

"Whatever you say." He replied.

*(This is the beginning so this is all ill show for now. Sex scene end. Sorry it wasn't the best)*

...

But Dennis knew the mail was coming in today and didnt want to miss it so when Alec fell back asleep, he tiptoed out to check.

Walking back into the house he now had what he had been waiting for. Something Alec couldn't see.

...

Alec was standing in front of the glass house. She looked down to see she was wearing the same Hello Kitty hoodie she wore to this place four years ago. The same hoodie she still had in her closet and still wore.

She took a step forward and was now in a hall inside. By there being no sunlight, she could tell she was in the basement.

She started gliding forward against her will and came up to a containment cube. There before her was Dennis, on the floor. Alec slammed a hand onto the wall and was forced back.

In shock she looked at her hand and back to see the words on the wall glowing.

Dennis opened his eyes and no matter how much she yelled or banged on the door he didn't respond to her as he stood up and started looking around for a way out.

Alec stopped her attempts and turned around, sucking In a deep breath and screaming.

"Why can't you see me!?"

Now sobbing she looked up and found herself in a containment cube. In front of her, on the wall was the symbol she new very well, the symbol for The Broken Heart.

With a gasp, she shot up and jumped out of the bed. She hurriedly put her clothes on.

...

"Woah ." He said walking in to see his wife frantically getting dressed." What happened to staying in bed all day?"

"I gotta go do something real quick." She said." Gotta go check something at the shop."

Dennis awkwardly stood there after she kissed him and watched her run out.

...

"Where are you?!" She shouted, going through boxes of books she kept in a closet in her office at the book store, until she found them. The two copies of the Arcanum. Cyrus' copy and Dahlia's.

Dahlia had told her these were the only copies and Alec had to check to make sure they were still there.

She jumped when her phone went off.

" Hey, honey." She answered." Yea just had to check with the book orders I forgot I already sent them in yesterday...yea I gotta go to the store and buy Daisy some more food."

Looking around the windows to see no one coming, Alec slid them into her satchel and left.

...

When Dennis hung up he looked over to the lazy dog.

"But we just bought you a bag of food three days ago." He said, confused

The dog just let out a yawn in reply.

...

Alec felt stupid. It was just a dream, or that's what she told herself. No one was trying to rebuild the Ocularis or the machine. But here she was driving to the ruins of the old glass house.

Since they have been married, neither has felt the presence of a strong enough energy or touched anyone. They refrain from hugging or accidentally bumping into any one if they can help it.

Why would, after all this time, one little nightmare make a difference?

Finally giving up, she stopped halfway and started driving back.

...

"And now that makes twelve thousand." Dennis said aloud to himself as he went over the letter again and ripped it up to throw in the trash.

He heard the door open and went into the living room to see Alec heading straight for the back door to the garage.

"Hey where are you goin'?" He asked, walking back to the stove to stir dinner.

"Just putting something up." She replied, walking into the kitchen." Mmm smells great."

"Good thing you showed up. Can you stir this for me? I gotta go pee." He said.

"Sure." She said taking over.

...

Instead of going to the bathroom, Dennis snuck into the garage and looked around till he found her satchel behind some boxes.

She has been real secretive today and left in such a rush. She didnt have a bag of dog food with her either.

He opened it up to see the the two copies of the Arcanum.

"Son of bitch." He hissed quietly, grabbing the satchel and stomping back into the kitchen just time to find Alec staring at three pieces of a paper.

...

"W-why would...?" She was speechless.

"You weren't supposed to see that." He said.

"You weren't supposed to see that either." She pointed to the satchel.

"Why do you have these?"

" It's not like I could just leave them there." She replied." I...went back and took them and hid them."

"Where?"

"In the closet in the office."

"How long have you had them?"

"The whole time...since the house." She looked away.

"I thought we agreed to leave all that behind us."

" Then can you explain this?" She held up the pieces of paper." Is this some kind of joke?"

"No it's not a joke." He let of the satchel, allowing it to drop to the ground." It's called being prepared."

...

"And you don't think me going back and getting those books wasn't trying to prevent us from ever needing this?" She asked, tears forming in her eyes."twelve thousand dollars on life insurance?"

"It's for it'll anything happens to-"

Don't say it!" She interrupted." Don't you dare say that."

...

He stepped forward and pulled her to him.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." He whispered."I just..."

"What would make you feel the need to take out life insurance on yourself?" She asked.

He couldn't tell her that he had dreams of the house or visions of familiar and new ghosts, locked away in a containment cube beside one he was trapped in.

"I had a dream." She started." This morning. I was back in that house and I saw you in one of those cells and...and...I was put in one."

She finished talking with a sob and for the first time in all four years of their marriage, she cried.

"Alec, look at me." He said gently" Look at me."

She leaned her head back and looked at him, with pleading eyes.

He leaned down and kissed her.

"Everything will be ok." He whispered against her lips.

After getting her to bed, Dennis sat in the living room with a beer, just sitting there, thinking about the books.

The obvious solution was to destroy them.

He stood and went to the garage and heard a knock on the door.

He put down his beer and went to go answer it.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" He asked.

And everything went black.


I hope this was a good first chapter. Iv been so busy with nephews, learning how to crochet, getting ready for New Years, feeding my Matthew Lillard obsession with his movies. I mean...what?..*laughs nervously* anywho...please review or alert if you liked this. Didn't like it? Review any way and tell me the flaws you found so I can possibly make it better. And I hope to God autocorrect didn't screw up this chapter. :) anyway. Thanks again for reading.
