Chapter Two:
Where am I," Emma wondered. Looking around, she noticed she was in Jesse's room. "How'd I get in here?" Her eyes fell upon his bed, where Jesse sat crying.
"Jesse? What's the matter?" Jesse didn't seem to hear her so she approached his bed and sat on it. He was holding a picture, staring longingly at it. She could feel that he was in pain; his heart was aching for someone he loved.
"Emma I can't believe your gone," sniffed Jesse. "Why couldn't Adam help you? I never even got to tell you how I feel…" Jesse's voice was cut off by his sobs.
"Jess, I'm right here." Emma gently put her arm on his shoulder. "Jess wake up. Please." She started to become overwhelmed by his sadness and grief as well as his love that he felt for her.
Suddenly Emma felt herself being pulled away from Jesse. "Wake up," she pleaded with him one last time.
Back in Emma's bedroom
Emma shot up in bed. "Jesse! Wake up!" She was breathing hard, and the emotions she had felt while in the dream were still present, and just as strong. Not quite knowing what just happened, or how she even ended up in his dream, she knew she had to check on him. She got up and walked down the hall toward Jesse's room.
"Jess," Emma eased the door open and entered. Sadness was radiating around Jesse, Emma knew that if he didn't wake soon he could be in serious trouble. Gently she shook him. "Jesse, wake up. You're having a bad dream."
Jesse lay in his bed still tossing and turning as if he didn't hear Emma call for him, or the shaking.
"Emma…" Jesse's voice trailed off.
"Jesse, wake up!" Emma bent down and kissed him on the lips. Then she grabbed a glass of water that was next to his bed and poured the cold liquid onto his face.
Jesse shot up in his bed. "Emma! You're alive," he shouted in surprise as he grabbed her and held her tight.
"Jess, it was just a dream I'm fine."
"Please don't die Emma. I don't know what I'd do without you." Emma's face began to turn pink.
"Jesse, I'm fine. I just had a little headache, but I'm better now. Lie back down and get some real sleep."
Emma got up to leave, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back down on his bed. "Please don't leave. What if I'm dreaming and when I wake up you won't be here?"
Before Emma could stop herself, she closed her eyes and kissed him. He kissed her back, softly at first but the kiss began to get more intense. Finally they broke apart and Emma said with a smile, "That was real Jesse and so am I."
"Please stay," Jesse pleaded with fear in his voice.
"Okay, move over." She slid under the covers with him. Jesse wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. Feeling much happier with Emma in his arms, he drifted off to sleep once more.
"Good night Jess," Emma said as she yawned and drifted off into her own sleep as well.

She was at one of the clubs that they usually go to, but she had no idea as to why she was there. Everybody seemed to walk right through her, not even noticing she was there. Something dark flashed behind her and she turned around. "The G.S.A.," she gasped. *Why on earth am I dreaming about them?* Two agents were lurking in the shadows, when she spotted a flash of white as well. "Eckhart?"
Slowly she approached him, but he took no notice. "These two members of Mutant X will be ours shortly. Since we've been watching them for one week, we will soon know how to get the jump on them. Look they don't even pay attention to their surroundings, only each other. This is perfect, my plan will be perfect."
Emma's eyes fell on Brennan and Shalimar, who were standing in line waiting to get in. Brennan stood behind Shalimar, with his arms around her waist. Shalimar leaned back and said something to Brennan, making them both laugh.
Emma began to feel intense hatred for the entire team of Mutant X, most of which was for Adam. She understood now that Eckhart was planning on killing the other two in order to send Adam a message. Eckhart would finally be rid of the accursed Mutant X once and for all. Adam will wish he was dead, and after Eckhart finished off Mutant X, he would grant Adam's wish.
The hatred became too much for Emma, and she was ripped out of Eckhart's dream.
In Jesse's room
Emma woke up with a start. "Oh my God, Eckhart's going to kill Brennan and Shalimar. Jesse get up we have to see if Brennan and Shalimar are back yet, they could be in danger if they're not."
Jesse slowly opened his eyes, "Emma? It's 4:30 in the morning they're back by now and sleeping. Wait, did you just say something about Eckhart?"
Emma looked into his baby blues and said, "I somehow went into Eckhart's dream and heard about his plan to kill Brennan and Shalimar. He didn't say how he would do it, but he's been watching them for about a week. I guess he's going to set a trap for them at the club or something."
"You're telling me you can go into people's dreams?" Jesse began to blush bright red and started to look anywhere except at the beautiful brunette who was inches away from him.
Emma noticed this and thinking quickly she said, "I think it only happens when the emotions are strong enough to pull me in. Hatred seemed to be pouring out of Eckhart and it pulled me into his dream. This is the second time it happened so I'm not positive, but that would be my guess."
"The second time? What was the first time?"
"Yours. You were crying and saying that I was dead. Your emotions were so strong I was pulled into your dream. I was overwhelmed and was ripped out of your dream. When I woke up I came in here to wake you."
Quietly Jesse sat there taking in everything she said. "So should we go look for them?"
"If we don't, they could be in trouble."
They got out of Jesse's bed and opened the door. The hallway of Sanctuary was dark and quiet.
"Let's try Brennan's room first. I'm not really looking forward to accidentally waking up Shalimar."
Emma nodded and she quietly knocked on Brennan's door. "Brennan," she whispered, "please tell me that you're in there."
Easing the door open, Emma and Jesse walked into Brennan's room. They both exchanged looks of horror when he wasn't in his bed. "Maybe Shalimar asked Brennan to spend the night too," Jesse said with a grin.
Emma gently hit his shoulder and smiled. "Well let's hope so."
When they reached Shalimar's room Jesse said, "I'll go in first, that way she can get mad at me instead." He twisted her door knob and entered her room.
They both entered silently and they're eyes fell on Shalimar's bed. It too was empty.
