Chapter 11

Noah emptied his flask long before he reached his front door. God, what he wouldn't do just to be done with this. But…his mother, no he just had to face whatever was coming to him. No matter what Van Kleiss said or did Noah would obey. He just had too.

Noah opened the door to his dark home and hurried in. Best to get this over with. No lights were on as Noah walked through his home. He knew every inch by heart and was unafraid of falling. He could not believe it. Letting out a big sigh, Noah relaxed his shoulders. He was alone and so grateful for the silence that surrounded him. Closing his bedroom door, he leaned against the frame and sighed again.

"Noah my boy…there you are." Frightened, he gasped, head snapping up to look right into the face of a smiling Van Kleiss. Van Kleiss was laid out on Noah's bed as if it was his own. Noah suddenly found himself more uncomfortable then he had been a moment before.

"Surprised to see me my pet?" Van Kleiss smiled.

"I did what you wanted…."Noah mumbled, looking away. "Just leave me alone."

"Alone? My dear boy." Van Kleiss got off the bed and approached Noah. Fingering the necklace he had placed around Noah's pale neck. "You are never alone."

Noah's breath hitched as Van Kleiss pushed him back against the door. "Tell me Noah…"Van Kleiss began to trace the lines of Noah's throat as he spoke. "Did you give her my little gift?"

"Yes…"

Van Kleiss leaned into Noah, his face very close to Noah's. Noah could feel his hot and moist breath on his cheek.

"Good." Van Kleiss released him and Noah felt his legs give out, sliding with his back against the door to the floor. He could do nothing but watch as a portal opened behind Van Kleiss.

"Time to be going, but don't worry. I'll be back. Right after I prepare a special homecoming for my guests."

Numb, Noah could only watch Van Kleiss leave. The guilt of what he had done washing over him like a tidal wave.

And he was drowning.

"Rex get up!"

"Ah! I'm up! I'm up!" Rex struggled getting out of bed and glaring at a stone faced Agent 6. So he had slept in a bit. Emily had been having nightmares and he couldn't sleep is she couldn't. Not when they were this close.

Agent 6 raised an eye brow. "Up late?"

"Meh… kinda, Em, was having bad dreams all night, kinda didn't get any sleep." Rex rubbed his eyes sleepy.

"She's suppose to be sedated." 6 stated.

"Yeah well that didn't stop the dreams." Rex huffed getting dressed, 6 turned and faced the door.

"Rex? How long have you been seeing her dreams?"

"Since a few days after she got here, and it's more like sharing 6. She sees my dreams too."

"Rex, why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I could see her 6." Rex mumbled, pulling a shirt over his head. "You know as a kid. And I don't think that this is something to be shared. It felt…private."

6 vaguely wondered if the word intimate had been on Rex's mind. "Besides..." Rex continued "I'm not really sure she is aware of it, she hasn't said anything."

"What did you see?"

"Last night? I saw a forest, then a field, and Em was running, she was little. Maybe 8 years old. Then I saw large golden eyes and a lot of fire coming right at me. Then there was this castle, not like Van Kleiss but white and beautiful, way up in the clouds. I…I think the castle was flying 6."

6 just raised an eyebrow and decided to bring this up with doc Holiday later. In the mean time. "Duty first Rex, for a warm up I want 20 laps around the petting zoo. Then we have dual practice."

"But breakfast?" Rex whined.

Out of nowhere 6 produced and tossed Rex an orange. "20 laps." Rex gave a big thumbs up and rushed towards the Petting zoo bits of orange peel easily marking his trail. 6 began to follow but hesitated. Gently and silently he pushed Emily's door opened. She appeared to still be under heavy sleeping medication and was still. 6 listened, focusing on her room, the steady in and out of her breath came to his well trained ears along with her strong and steady heart beat.

He closed the door.

Slowly Emily began to flutter into consciousness. She had been sleeping all day again she could already tell. Though the clock on her table showing 6:15pm was a good indication. It was the same routine. At 6:30pm Dr. Holiday would bring food, help Emily get washed up. Let her visit with Rex for a bit then more meds and the dark sleep again. Emily was getting sick of it. She wanted to be awake and out helping Rex and 6 again. She at least wanted to take a real bath unaided and maybe walk around the halls a bit. Seeing nothing better to do she wound the music box Noah gave her. The melody it produced seems so familiar. Like there were words to it. She had already asked 6, Doc Holiday and Bobo if they knew the song. None did, but the melody was in her head nevertheless. She even began to hum along to the magical song, She must have played the music box at least 100 times in the past week. She hoped Noah would come visit soon.

"Knock knock!" Dr. Holiday called carrying in a tray of dinner. Emily blinked, her meds must be getting to her she had completely zoned out.

"Emily are you okay?" She opened her mouth to answer but Dr. Holiday but a thermometer in her mouth. "Temperature is normal. Pupils normal. Looks like you are well on your way to recovery."

"So no knock out meds tonight?" Emily asked hopeful.

"Well let's see how you do tonight without them. Keep healing like this and you can be back fighting EVOs in another week."

"Yes!" Emily grinned. "So can I go hang out with Rex tonight?"

"As soon as he and 6 get back from their mission you can." Dr. Holiday couldn't help but smile. Ever since Emily had come into their lives the team had been different but in a good way. Bobo was less rude, although that was only around Emily. Rex had a new friend, a real friend who was here and could pal around with him. And 6, Dr. Holiday shook her head slightly, she just couldn't get over how 6 had been opening up. Especially to her and that special night when Emily came back hurt. It has been emotional for all of them but 6. He had been her rock that night.

Dr. Holiday found herself blushing as Emily drew her from her thoughts. "Dr. Holiday? Do you think I could watch TV in Rex's room till he gets back?"

"You should eat your dinner and think you can handle getting cleaned up alone tonight?" Dr. Holiday asked.

Emily nodded taking a big bite of meatloaf, it must be Friday she thought. They only had meatloaf on Friday.

"Then go ahead and watch some TV I'm sure everyone will be back soon." Dr. Holiday smiled and left Emily to eat and get cleaned up.

Innocently enough with fork in mouth, Emily wound up her music box again.

She just had to remember this song.

She… Just had too.
