A/N so long since I updated this but I have nothing else written and I really want to get back to this coz its one of my faves! RECAP - Danny and Alice are planning a little holiday to Cumbria as Alice and Danny's mum had a little altercation and danny chose Alice.

(X)

Alice was lost in a dream.

It was dark all around her, moonlight illuminating everything and nothing….no not moonlight there was light all around….but darkness too! Everything was contradictions! She walked ahead onto the balcony from the house she stood in, no not house, cabin! Ahead there were trees….trees and rain….rain was falling everywhere yet she was dry! On the balcony! Why wasn't she wet? Water! There was water too, she could hear it all around! She spun in a circle seeking out the noise, after finishing a full turn she spotted the river straight ahead. She reminded herself she was safe in a house….but fear still permeated her core. Suddenly there was a high pitched scream, it surrounded her, she wasn't able to figure out what direction it came from. As she looked behind her she was soon waist deep in water.

She looked down and her eyes widened. She blinked and saw the water was higher and she was holding onto a boy who was nearly being swept away, the current yanking and pulling him. Her grip on his wrist unyielding.

"ALICE!" was roared from behind her and she looked. Water splashed in her face and her vision was blurred. When it cleared she saw Danny on a bank rain water pouring down his face. Lightning flashed and the child she held screamed in terror. She turned, spotted his face and saw it was Peter.

"Don't let me go Alice!" he begged. "Please!" even though he was wet she could see his tears, they were clear and glistening while the water that surrounded them was black and evil.

She heaved and pulled trying to get him closer to her. "I have you Peter!" the grip on his wrist tight she ignored the water trying to drag her under her whole focus on saving her friend.

It suddenly got darker and there was zero light in the area. The current began to become stronger. She looked around then above her slowly. A rock formation had blocked out all the light. Lightning flashed and she saw Danny on his knees on the river bank screaming for her, a child with him. The rock formation started descending slowly, fear filled her and she began to panic.

"No not again!" she screamed into the wind. She lost her footing and felt her head submerge into the water. It had her in its grip refusing to relinquish either her or Peter, she was swept away, Peter ripped from her hold. NO not again! She couldn't lose him again, not like this! Alice screamed while submerged and felt water fill her mouth, down her oesophagus and flood her lungs…..

Alice was jerked awake coated in a cold sweat. Danny was by her side sound asleep. She turned over and wrapped her arms around him burying her face in his chest trying to chase the dream away. She was on edge because of Peter's anniversary and the incident with Danny's mum, that was it nothing else. She didn't feel guilty that she was tearing Danny away from the only family he had.

When she still couldn't settle even with Danny close she decided to go shower. As she got up she saw his phone flash. She looked and saw his mother had rang him fifteen times. She was splitting up his family she thought putting the phone down, she should feel triumphant but she only felt sick. He loved his mother, she knew he did, this couldn't be easy for him, she looked at him while he lay in bed, if it was her…..well it isn't you, an angry voice screamed in her head. You have no mum and his mum is glad, remember what she said, gloating that she was dead! You aren't doing this to Danny, he won't be alone he'll have you! It'll be HER who'll be alone!

Alice exhaled and walked towards the bathroom, turned the shower on and stepped under the hot spray hoping it would clear her mind. After a full fifteen minutes she stepped out, wrapped a towel around her hair and pulled on her dressing gown she felt no better. She felt tightly coiled, ready to spring. She needed to run. She walked back into her room and saw Danny was still sleeping, a frown creased across his forehead. She rubbed her face guiltily as she realised that even asleep he looked worried.

Why did she have to love him? When she didn't this had all been straight forward. If she didn't love him than the thrill of victory would have filled her by now, all she felt now was guilt that she was hurting the person who mean so much to her. She exhaled and headed to her wardrobe. Pulled on some jogging bottoms and a vest top. She checked the clock as she pulled a brush through her hair and saw it was four am. She twisted her hair and clipped it up went to Danny and kissed him gently.

"Mmmm?" he murmured groggily.

"Can't sleep I'm going for a run."

"I'll come…" he sat trying to sit up.

"Keep the bed warm for me, I'll be home soon." kissed him again. "Love you."

"Love you too." he replied before she left the room. He heard her grab some keys then the front door close. Danny had resolved to stay awake until she returned but lack of sleep recently caught up with him and he nodded off.

"Danny." someone whispered close to his ear. He was lain on his back unable to move, he wanted more sleep and shook his head irritably.

He heard a low seductive laugh.

"Danny!" the voice repeated.

He opened one eye and saw Alice straddling his hips were eyes alight with fun, smile sultry. "Now isn't this the way to be woken?"

He smiled and felt his hands move to cup her hips. "Mmm hmmm."

She leant down and he could smell her breath clean and minty. "It occurred to me as I ran that there are plenty of different ways to exercise and we haven't got this far yet."

He moved his head to kiss her.

She backed off. "I'm on top which means I'm in control, your at my mercy!" her smile widening further. She finally did as he wanted and kissed him softly and slowly. She felt Danny trying to deepen it and halted him. She wanted his unconditional surrender!

His hands began to creep under her top, her hands too were exploring his chest revelling in the feel of all the angles and planes. Danny soon discovered that Alice was curvy in all the right places and gripped her sides.

She smiled against his lips. "Patience is a virtue." she whispered.

He growled in reply.

She grabbed his hands…..he knew her plan and lifted his knee, pushing her sideways so she was now on her back and he above her. Her mouth agape.

"My turn. I'm in control." he whispered then moved their joined hands so they were above her head. He kissed her deeply, completely unlike her own slow leisurely kiss from before. It was all heat and tension and he was about to go further when a thought occurred to him.

"Alice are you on the pill?"

"Huh?" she asked blinking.

"Pill?" he repeated.

"No."

"Do you have anything else?"

Alice closed her eyes and suppressed a groan. "No."

He dropped his head and rolled so he lay on his back, eyes covered with his hand almost in physical pain. He then turned his head and he and Alice looked at each other.

"Only us would start then realise!" she groaned.

"We can't catch a break!" he agreed. "I have them at my house, if we were there!" he exhaled loudly.

She rolled onto her side and hugged him. "I'm sorry Danny, protection didn't really cross my mind when I climbed on you."

He nodded.

"Which is kinda weird because usually I say condoms and the pill."

He grinned and rubbed her nose with his. "Wonder what that means, awww does Alice want my babies?"

Her eyes widened in pure fear.

"Don't worry, there is far too much in the air at the moment and we have only been together five minutes. I plan on having you to myself for a while. Still I am gutted that only one night can result in a child, you should get something like three chances! And then the fourth you get caught!"

Alice loved the way he looked at things, he was so cute!

"Anyway we better get up." he advised. "Otherwise we just might get caught!"

Alice nodded and they rose from bed.

Danny retuned to his house while Alice packed her stuff for their little get away. He found his mum hadn't left yet, she was drinking coffee in his living room her face although nonchalant was angry, he could tell.

"Daniel?"

"Mum I didn't come to argue I just need some clean clothes."

"You're at hers aren't you?" she hissed.

"Yes, we are going away for a while. I need your key for this place. I'm moving into Alice's."

"Danny we need to talk about this, she is using you!" Jill told him.

"Alice loves me mum and if you did you'd be happy for me!"

Jill studied her son. "You're different Daniel, she's changed you."

"Yeah, I'm a better person now! She makes me happy, I smile more, laugh more. You should thank her!"

"Thank her for what? Peter?"

"That isn't just who she is mum! She tried to leave the cave mum, Peter held onto her."

Jill shook her head. "No!" she gasped.

"Peter brought the wall down on himself. He almost killed her!"

"LIES!" Jill screamed rage filled.

"It's the truth mum, she has nightmares and can barely sleep at night. She has to run just to exhaust herself enough and it still doesn't work. Please mum, just talk to her. I know you'll see if you do that!"

Jill stared at Danny eyes black. "She has filled you full of lies about Peter, he wouldn't…."

"Peter wasn't perfect mum, that is just how you chose to remember him. Alice told me everything and I believe it. Peter was bull headed and stubborn and I wish he was here but he isn't. She is and I love her!"

"How could you believe her Danny?" she said voice full of pain. "He's your brother." tears began to fall.

He shook his head knowing his mum was in no mood to listen. "I'm going to grab some stuff."

She stood up sharply. "I won't lose you to her Danny, I won't!" she repeated wildly.

He packed all he needed went to his mum, who was sat on the sofa looking moody, he kissed her cheek. "I love you mum but you need to accept me and Alice. I can't see myself with anyone else. This could go all the way, marriage, kids."

Her eyes darkened at the final word. All she wanted was grandchildren but not children that would have anything to do with Alice!

"Daniel!" she warned.

He shook his head sadly and left. Jill meanwhile sat back calmly and picked up her laptop from under the sofa. When she opened the lid a webpage flashed on. She had surfed the net last night and found just what she needed. She pulled out her mobile phone and dialled a number.

"Hello." after a man picked up. "I saw an advert on the internet. Can you do what you implied?"

There was silence and Jill began to smile as the man spoke. "Yeah we can meet up, public place. How much do you charge?"

She studied her nails as the man again went into the details.

"Well there is this girl and I need her out of the way permanently, if you know what I mean. I know she runs."

The man again started to speak.

"We'll discuss the details later, ring this number, I'll be waiting." then she disconnected and sat back waiting for a call. She wasn't losing another son, not because of her! The number had been hard to find, she'd had to go around about way then she stumbled on it, on a less than reputable website about guns. It didn't matter, Alice was gonna be out of the way for good!

A/N looks like jill will go to any lengths to make sure that danny nd Alice say apart, Alice is safe because danice are going away...you'd think that wouldn't you! Keep reading for the next couple of chappies!
