Chapter 3:

Looking at Alan he sent blood chilling words into the teens mind. "You can't save everyone" and with that the Hood pulled the trigger. All Alan could do was scream. "Now Scott you looked pretty ridiculous in that blow up protection suit Brains designed!" Gorden stated. This started making everyone laugh. But it was cut short when they heard a blood curdling scream.

"What was that?!" Vergil asked.

"Alan!" Scott yelled, as he ran down the hallway.

He could see the bullet heading straight towards his family, and just before it hit them a loud noise startled him. "Alan!" Scott shouted at him, slamming the bedroom door open.

Suddenly his family, the bullet and finally the hood vanished. "Until next time Alan." were the Hood's fading words. "Alan Wake up!" Scott shook his brother. Suddenly Alan sat up gasping for air. "Alan what's wrong?" Virgil asked in concern. One by one he looked at his brothers making sure they were still alive. "Where's Dad?" Alan asked frantically trying to get up. "Take it easy Sprout!" Scott exclaimed pinning him down. "Dads in his office." John stated quietly. With that Alan finally calmed down. "What's wrong Alan." Gordon asked as he and his brothers sat on his bed. Alan noticed that it was more of a statement then a question. Sighing, he had to come up with an excuse, and fast. "Were waiting…" Scott stated. "Umm it was just a bad dream." Alan stated more than a little embarrassed. "There's no"just" about it." "You Haven't had one of those in months." Scott said quietly. "Yeah, I Guess." What do you mean "you guess?" "I don't know I just guess i thought they had stopped." Alan said quietly. "Alan, Alan, look at me." Slowly Alan lifted his head. "Alan its nothing to be ashamed about." Alan just nodded, he knew it was though. He knew it was a weakness. He knew that if he had any weaknesses his family would baby him. But most of all he knew that the Hood would use that weakness against him.

"You want to talk about it?" John asked. "No, not really." "Alright, just let us know if you have any more." "K." Was all he replied. "Alan." "Yes Scott?" "You know you can talk to us about anything right?" John questioned. "Yeah, thanks." "Any time Sprout." With that they headed out. Alan knew they would say that. They had said that a few times now, but he knew it wasn't true.

He had tried to talk to them, but they were always busy. International Rescue, Tracy Enterprise,. Virgil: His Paintings and music. Gordon: his swimming and training, John: Writing, star gazing, monitoring. Scott: Business trips, "Birds" upkeep, paperwork. These were just a few of the thing.

The brothers talked quietly outside his room. "How come he is still having nightmares when we aren't?" Gordon questioned. "I don't know, but all of this is a lot for a fifteen year old to handle.

John noted. "Yeah but still, he has been through a lot already." Virgal commented. "I can't help but wonder if there is something we don't know about."

"What do you mean Virg?" Scott asked.

"Did any of you guys notice how he opened up to us about the nightmares?" "Yeah, so what?" Gordon stated. "Have any of you noticed how it always takes forever for him to open up to us anymore?

So why would this be any different?" "Good point!" John exclaimed. "We should probably keep an eye on Allie." "Definitely the brothers aggread
