Short I know and it's been a while too but school's just around the corner and I've moved to a new house so unpacking has been my main priority. Thanks for sticking by though and as always...WOWP is not mine and it never will be.


I woke up to no sounds. Dad and mom weren't explaining something to Max and Harper's usual humming wasn't heard either. I got out from under the warm covers and slipped my robe on slowly walking down to the substation. No one was in site so I went to check the lair. "Justin? Max? Harper?" Silence filled the air. I turned to leave when I ran into something soft but sturdy.

"Hey, Alex, what's the rush?" "Mason?" He smirked, pulling my body towards his. "Justin was right about you." He took a deep breath almost like he wanted to inhale as much as my shampoos scent. "You're so bitter sweet, Alex. Is that why you couldn't tell me you preferred your own brother over me? I don't mind sharing but you have to tell me these things." His fingers slowly wove into my hair.

This was strange…. Mason didn't know about Justin and things were never so slow with him. This was almost soothing…..I closed my eyes and laid my head on his chest. "No, no, no. You cannot avoid discussing your affair. I trusted you, Alex. How could you?" He had pulled me off of him, holding my wrists. His grip was hard and then I started to burn. "Mason, let go. You're hurting me!" "You're hurting me. Why couldn't you tell me? Why?" "Mason, it burns, stop!" I was crying, begging, and then I screamed and I was back in my room.

"Alex, you're okay. It was just a bad dream, you're okay." Justin's voice, so familiar, combined with his embrace reduced my crying to silent sobs. "Justin's what happened is everything okay" Oh, Harper. Even her nightgown was crazy enough to make me smile. "She's fine. You can go back to sleep and please, don't tell our parents about this when they come back." She nodded and left. "Justin, why'd you come up here?" "I heard you scream. Your door was locked but I had my wand." "I screamed out loud?" "Yes." He pulled me closer. "Can you stay with me?" "Of course I can." He made to get up but I stopped him. "No, just as my brother, stay with me." He hesitated but understood. That was the first time in two months that he was just my brother and I was just his sister.
