AN: As Alex lies in a hospital bed, unconscious, she had another vision of David's childhood, while William and David deal with the fallout of their cover being blown.

Chapter Ten: Everything is on The Table

"They know!" Dumbledore hissed at David and William while they were in his room.

"Oh, the three nosy friends?" David said casually. Dumbledore sighed, and sat in his chair.

"I think that Dumbledore is concerned that what we are doing might cause a panic in this school." William said.

"Well, Nightmare being at this school is going to come out eventually." David said. "How to proceed without doing that is pretty much moot at this point."

"Yeah, well this was going to happen eventually." William said. "Now what are we going to do?"

"I don't know." David said. "We need to find out how much do they know."

"They know who you are, and the fact that you are a demon." Dumbledore said. "Forget denying, you two need to do some damage control."

"So we can intimidate into silence, right?" David asked. "I need to go see Alex."

"How is she doing?" Dumbledore asked.

"She's fine." William said. "She stayed overnight in the hospital wing just to be on the safe side."

"Good, go and see her, but be careful, we don't know how much word has spread about this little demon situation." Dumbledore said.

David nodded, and walked out the door. William gave Dumbledore a friendly farewell, and followed his friend.


"I can't believe that there is a demon at this school!" Ron whispered to his friends. He, Harry, and Hermione were sitting in the Gryffandor Common Room, and they had chairs facing each other.

"Why would Dumbledore invite a potentially dangerous demon out here without warning students about him first?" Harry asked.

"Maybe David and William are out here for a secret mission that only they know about." Ron suggested, shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, it makes sense that Dumbledore would invite someone of that nature out here because something big is about to happen." Hermione answered.

"Well, what are we going to do about this?" Harry asked.

"Well, let's go and follow William, and see if he can or will reveal something about all of this." Harry suggested.


Ron, Harry, and Hermione saw William and his dog, Shadow, walking from the hospital wing. William stopped, and turned around, trying to see if anyone was following them. He knew that someone was there, and he ignored them, until a certain point.

"Ron, Harry, and Hermione. I know that you are following me. If you don't stop, I am going right to Dumbledore." William said sternly. The three of them sighed, and stepped out from behind the wall.

"Sorry. We just don't like being kept in the dark about things that are going on here." Harry said.

"This isn't your business, little ones." William said. "I know of the accolades that you three have here, but trust me, this is something that you don't want any part of what is coming."

"Just what is coming?" Harry asked. William just gave the three students a silent nod, and walked away. Shadow gave them a warning glare, and followed William around the corner.


Alex was in David's old apartment, and she knew that this was a dream. Why was she having these certain dreams, she didn't know. She had an idea of who was behind this, but she quickly brushed that feeling off when she heard someone at the front door.

"Maria?" A young Louis called out. "Raymond? Where are you guys?"

Louis made his way to the bedroom, and heard some crying from under the bed. Louis smiled, and leaned over, looking at the black haired little child.

"Hey, David, what's going on?" Louis said smiling. David crawled into Louis's arms, and Louis held him gently.

"Mommy and Daddy are gone." David said, crying.

"I know." Louis said, rubbing his head. "I know. But you are coming with me, alright?"

David wiped some tears from his eyes, and hugged Louis tightly. Louis smiled sweetly as he looked out towards the hallway. Louis sighed as he knew that he had a lot of explaining to do with this little boy.


This was getting old.

Alex now sat in her hospital bed, as the night was in the sky. Only thing visible was the moon and the stars. She kept having these dreams about David's past, but why was she having them was a mystery to her. She knew that she had to find out what was happening before it was too late.


Justin was walking through an empty hall on his way back to the Gryffandor common room when he noticed William and Shadow walking towards him.

"Hey, how is Alex?" William asked him.

"She's fine." Justin answered him. "She will be back in school within the next day."

"That's good to hear." William said. "What are you going to do about Malfoy, if I may be so courteous to ask."

"I am going to get him back, don't you worry about that." Justin said. Justin looked William right in the face before speaking to him again.

"William, if there is something that I needed to know, you would tell me and Alex, right?" Justin asked, concern on his face.

"Of course I would." William said with a comforting smile. Justin smiled back, and walked away. William looked down at Shadow, and saw that he was looking around for something.

"What's wrong?" William asked him.

"It's Nightmare." He said in a frightened tone. "He's in the building."
