Author's Note:

Oh uh….hi? Yeah work has been keeping me busy and I've been doing nothing but sleeping and eating every time I'm off work cause I'm a lazy bum….

Uh…new chapter yay! I don't even know if you guys are still reading this series but here ya go, a new chapter with more to come in the future! ( I hope)

*runs off*

(Remember, rated T for language and blood and stuff)

He was mad, no…..furious….or pissed? He didn't care, he was going to find that freaking monster if it was the last thing he would ever do.

How dare he invade the dreams of a child? How dare he threaten the most important person in Liam's life, how was the child going to sleep at night now? Knowing that at any moment a complete and utter stranger can invade his dreams to reek terror on his young mind…..

"Alvin…..Alvin," A paw comes to rest on his arm, startling him for a moment he turns to face her, Brittany's gaze flickers over his face, eyebrows pulled together in concern as she squeezes his arm.

He lays a paw over hers, reassuring her that he was fine, when had it become like this? When they automatically seeked each other out to comfort and to hold, he didn't care when it happened, but he was thankful to have her there beside him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Ok so maybe he wasn't really thankful at the moment…"I uh….dunno," The munk grins sheepishly, rubbing at the back of his neck as the chipette crosses her arms over her chest and narrows her eyes, piercing him with a set of cool blue daggers, he fidgets.

"I was just going to find the demon who's doing this…." He supplies weakly, now that he was confronted about it he felt silly, they had no leads and no freaking idea as to who or what was doing this…..but he was pretty damn sure it's the same person who brought Hell to earth.

"Nice plan, now how about we go back inside and think of a better one? One that doesn't have us chasing a shadow through the night hmm?" Alvin glances around, finally realizing that they were indeed outside, wow time sure flies when you're pissed.

Brittany rolls her eyes as she watches him finally realize where they were, "Oh…" Shaking her head she grabs his paw and drags him back inside to where their siblings were waiting, all awake and semi-drowsy, not too pleased to have been woken up so suddenly but their concern for the son of their friends' out weighed the drowsy grumpiness.

Simon was rubbing at his nose, pushing his glasses up against his forehead as he tries to get a firm grip on what he was told, "How is that possible? I've never heard of this happening before…a demon invading dreams? That's only possible in stories…..a creature powerful enough to shift plans like that shouldn't exist,"

The rodents all prickle with unease at his observation, "Maybe it's a trick? I mean we've been knocked out for quiet some time, maybe there's some new technology that's been invited that allows this to happen?" Jeanette says weakly, she didn't want to believe it either…that they'd be facing a foe who is that strong….one who's abilities can be limitless when it comes to a battle.

Fear ripples through the kitchen as the six ponder silently, "We shouldn't be doing this, this is what he wants, he wants us scared," Brittany moves away from her family to rummage around in the kitchen, searching for something.

"We're not going to dwell on whether or not he's the final boss or whatever, we're going to start from the bottom and move upwards, we'll kick his ass just like we always do, we'll kill the bad guy and save the day," As she speaks she places sheets of paper down on the table, dumping a few assorted pens and pencils onto the tabletop as well.

Alvin snickers at her comment and eyes the crafts on the table, "And what exactly are we doing here o mighty leader?"

Brittany meets his dancing eyes, "Making a plan,"

Brittany hated meeting like this, when both of them were lost to their thoughts, but she needed his comforting presence at her side.

Alvin lifts his gaze to meet hers as she sinks down onto the lawn beside him, the cool green blades of grass brushing against her legs, soothing the slight tension that has been slowly building and building within the chipette.

"I'm not sure what to do, for the first time…I don't know what we should be doing…..should we track him down? Sit around and wait for something to happen? Train?" The last option comes out weak, her voice trailing off as she plucks the new shoots of grass from the earth, she strains to ignore the angry and troubled souls calling out from Hell…..they were dulled slightly thanks to her sisters but…..they were still there.

Alvin lets her talk, watching her quietly with glowing eyes, "I want to find him," He states simply, his gaze not once parting from her face as she turns to lock eyes with him, "I want to find him and kill him,"

She feels the slight prickle of fear at the back of her mind, the same fear she gets when facing a powerful demon, she hasn't felt that in awhile, "Alvin, you can't do that, not right now…..we can find him maybe but kill him…? Like you said he's powerful, I don't think-"

He cuts her off, "I'm powerful too, we're powerful Brittany, we can stop him, we've stopped countless demons before and like you said, we'll do it again," As he speaks he sees doubt flicker within her cobalt gaze, her soul is restless and he itches to soothe her, he reaches out for her fidgeting paws and squeezes them firmly.

"We'll win, we always do,"

Despite his firm belief and his strong words she still feels doubt, fear, deep inside her, it festers and swells at the core of her soul and she wishes nothing more then for the blissfully unaware days of the past, where she was merely training to fight strong demons, not confronting them around every curve that life has thrown her way.

Something about this…..about what was going to happen, had her scared to death, she wasn't sure what it was but she could feel it, and it made her ill.

"Britt," His gruff voice draws her out of her troubled thoughts and she's startled as his lips press firmly to hers, her body warms immensely at the familiar yet foreign sensation as she sinks against him, losing herself to the warmth of his lips as his paws tangle in her hair, holding her in place as she seems to melt.

Worries forgotten the two part to lock gazes, slight blushes adorn their cheeks and Alvin lets out a deep chuckle, "Can you believe that's only been our second kiss?" Shock flickers over her face as he rubs a thumb against her warm cheek, "What really? We only…."

He laughs again as she shakes her head and leans in again, he welcomes her as they embrace again, shutting out the world and their worries as they just enjoy being in each other's arms.

Brittany wakes up to the comforting presence of her boyfriend at her back, his slow even breathing almost lures her back to sleep, but something draws her attention away from the blissful pull of slumber.

She sits up, ignoring the quiet grunt from the half-demon beside her as his arm loosens its hold around her waist, she stares off into the forest, fur prickling as something moves within the shadows, she swallows softly.

Whatever it is….it doesn't contain a wavelength….there isn't a soul in it. Brittany tenses as something brushes against her mind, against the barriers around her soul, whatever is lurking out there is reaching out to her.

And it makes her sick.

We'll get to butt kicking soon I promise! Gotta let the plot build and let me enjoy my OTP! And sorry for so many skips Dx I really need to stop doing that...

Thank you again for reading everyone, I'll be updating again soon!
