Here's Chapter 4! Enjoy!

The next morning around 2 am, Riley started screaming in her sleep, causing Blue to howl and wake Lucas. Lucas tried to shake Riley awake, but it didn't work.

"RILEY!" Lucas shouted. Soon, Riley bolted up and started breathing real heavily. She looked around the room and slowly sunk back down into the covers. Then, she started crying silently. "Shhhh, Riles. It was just a dream. It was only a dream. Just listen to the rythm of my heartbeat." Riley laid her head on Lucas's chest and listened to the beating of his heart. Blue was now whimpering as he tried to climb up in the bed. Riley giggled as she leaned over and picked him up and put him in her lap. Then, she regained her position and slowly fell back to sleep. Lucas laid her back against the pillow and placed Blue beside her. Then, he crawled back under the covers and fell back to sleep.

-Alex and Walker-

About 3 am, the sound of someone screaming caused Walker to stir. Finally, he realized that the screams were coming from Alex. She was thrashing around.

"No! Leave me alone! Leave her alone, too! No, please! Walker, help!" she screamed as she continued thrashing around. Walker grabbed her and pulled her close to his chest.

"ALEX!" Walker shouted as he gently shook her. She stopped thrashing around and slowly opened her eyes.

"Walker! Oh my god! Is that really you?" Alex asked her hands frantically fidgeted with Walker's face. Walker gently grasped her hands and brought them to his lips.

"Yes, Alex, it's really me," Walker said as he pulled Alex even closer to him. Then, he started stroking her hair and said, "It was only a dream, Alex. Do you want to talk about it?"

"In the morning," Alex said as she yawned. They both laid back down and went back to sleep.

*Noon at C.D's*

"Hi, Alex," Riley greeted with a hug. She and Lucas had just sat down when Alex and Walker had come in.

"Hi, Riley," Alex said. "Did you get any sleep last night?"

"Not much. How about you?" Riley asked as she recalled her nightmare. Just then, a group of boys about Riley's age came in and sat down at a table.

"I didn't get very much sleep, either," Alex confessed. Riley sat back down beside Lucas while Alex and Walker joined them.

"So, Lucas, how would you and Riley like to come out to my ranch this Saturday for a barbeque?" Walker asked.

"Yes! We'd love to," they said in unison. Walker and Alex laughed at them.

"Good, Lucas, I'll show you how to get to my ranch later on today," Walker said. He excused himself so he could go to the bathroom. Riley did the same. On her way back, one of the boys stopped her.

"Where are you going, cutie?" he said.
"Why don't you join us?" another one said.
"Come on now! A pretty thing like you should be with me," said one as he forcefully puller her to him. Lucas noticed this and came to her rescue.

"The lady is with me, and I say to leave her alone, or else," said Lucas. Alex finally recognized who the boy was that had pulled Riley to him. It was the son of Victor Larue.

"What are you gonna do about, boy?" asked one of the boys who got up from his chair and walked over to Lucas.

"You don't want to find out," Lucas said just as Walker came back from the bathroom.

"What's going on here?" he asked Lucas.

"This boy," he said as he motioned to Larue's son, "was hassling Riley along with his other two friends. Walker looked at the boy and soon realized that it was the son of Victor Larue.

"You best keep your hands off of this girl, Mr. Larue, or you're going to find yourself in juvenile hall," Walker said.

"I can't go to juvie just because I asked the girl to sit with me," said Larue's son. Walker just glared at the boy who slowly walked back to his chair and sat down. Walker, Riley, and Lucas walked over to where Alex was sitting. She looked deep in thought.

"What's wrong, Alex?" asked Walker. Alex jumped at the call of her name, but she soon calmed down.

"I don't want anything to happen to Riley just because she is the daughter of Topanga Matthews," Alex said as she tried to tell Walker with her eyes what her nightmare was about. "You know that Topanga was supposed to convict Larue while he was in New York, but then she went into labor. So, then, the case got dumped into another lawyer's lap, and Larue was found not guilty."

"What would Larue's son want with me?" Riley asked. All of the sudden, a man in a black hoodie came and sat with the group of boys. Alex's face went white when she got a good look at the man. It was who she thought she would never see again: Victor Larue.

The next chapter will possibly have Riley being nearly kidnapped and Alex is kidnapped. What do you think of the story so far? I know, two updates in one day. How do I do it? It's because I've been told I have a very vivid imagination, so I take a lot of advice. Well, Adios!
