Chap13
(Author's note: This part deals with the dream sequence from the beginning)
Back at the restaurant the others are sitting around arranging things for the nights rush of people when in comes Zan barrelling through the door carrying an unconscious Maria. Immediately they all surround him worried for their friend.
Michael: What happened to her?
Zan: She's was attacked but she is okay now, she just fell asleep in my arms. I can't believe the two scumbags who attacked her before down the alley attacked her again!
Ava: Scumbags?... Attacked down an alley?... What are you talking about Zan?
Zan: We'll discuss that later but for now I want to settle her in our bed. She's exhausted.
With that Zan went upstairs holding an unconscious Maria in his arms. After he has made sure she is settled in he returns downstairs to tell the others about Maria's run in with the two thugs down the alley. When he is finished the other sit there in shock they had no idea Maria had been through this and as a result feel disgusted with themselves for the way they treated their friends.
Ava: I can't believe that happened to her...
Alex: But, it did and there's nothing we can do about it now. But what we can do, is do something about the problem now.
Kyle: Which is?
Alex: These two thugs... just because they failed this time doesn't mean there won't be a next time.
Kyle: What do you mean?
Liz: What Alex means is that they could be back. They came after her twice Kyle, once to warn her and the second to kill her. That tells us that they're determined to kill her but why is the question.
Michael: I thought we already knew the answer to that question, they want her baby dead.
Zan: Yes but why? There babies what can they do?
Max: Zan has a point why kill two innocent babies? Why not go after us, we are after all the Royals.
Isabel: Max is right there has gotta be some other explanation.
Zan: Forget about the explanation! That's not our concern right now. Our concern right now is protecting my wife! She's and the children are all that matter.
Michael: Zan's right we should be protecting Maria. So I propose we take it in turns whoever goes out anywhere should be on high alert looking out for any suspicious activity. These guys could be anywhere.
With that being said Zan went back upstairs to check on Maria. He sat by her bedside and held her hand his expression was anything but happy he was sad. Max having followed him upstairs went to confront him.
Max: You know she's gonna be okay, she's just asleep you know?
Zan: I know but I can't help but think about what might have happened if I hadn't shown up.
Max: I know but we can't worry about that now are only concern should be her and the babies safety. You know that better than anyone else.
Zan: I know but...
Max: Besides she's trying to sleep why don't we let her I'm pretty sure she can sense you in here and she probably wants you to leave so she can actually rest without someone hovering over her.
With that being said Zan and Max left the room they began to walk downstairs.
Max: You know your not so bad once you get to know you, I'm glad we made peace with each other
Zan: Gee thanks man
Max: No I didn't mean it that way...
Zan: I know bro, I know...
After hearing that Max stands there surprised not sure that Zan even said what he just said. But, then turned and started back down the stairs to tell the others.
Meanwhile back in the room Maria is tossing and turning uncomfortably. She is dreaming again which is odd considering that she hadn't had a dream/vision since Zan arrived. But now that same frightening dream that she's had for five years has returned and with a vengence. This time the images are coming faster and faster, almost as if to warn her about something terrible that is about to happen.
