Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
And finally, you think you're alright
And then it eats you up alive
You better get used to it-Our Lady Peace
Brennan looked up at Emma as she stood on the stage. He recognized the stance that she had taken as she stood there, left foot slightly turned in, her hand resting on her slim hips, it was the patented Emma nervous pose. He caught her eyes and smiled reassuringly. He didn't like Puck, but it was obvious that Emma needed to prove something to him. Emma smiled back, thanks Bren, she thought to herself. Brennan had always been there for her, had always been the rock in her abnormally shaky life. Through all their fights, and they had some big ones, he was there.
"Now Ms. Delauro," said Puck "Please Relax."
Emma rolled her shoulders back and breathed in deeply.
"Now, Lexie, my assistant is going to handcuff her arms behind her back," Puck said.
"Why do I really not like this?" asked Shalimar.
Brennan looked up at Emma again; her pale face now held a green tint and she looked like she might faint.
"Be ready in case something happens," he whispered.
Shalimar looked at him, her eyes flashed Feral gold and Brennan knew that on the other side of her Jesse sat ready.
"Please, step into this box," said Puck.
A very large man came out carrying a wooden box. Emma felt a shiver run up her spine when he accidentally bumped into her. Something is very wrong here, she thought as Puck helped her into the box. Emma felt her heart stop when the box closed and enveloped her in pure darkness.
That Night…
Emma walked around in a daze. She gasped when she saw Brennan's limp body lying on the ground. She ran to him, and held his hand.
"You knew," he whispered.
"No!" she replied "I didn't know."
"You knew what he was and you did nothing," he said.
Emma watched in horror as his eyes rolled back into his head.
Emma woke up gasping for air. What was going on? She didn't understand any of this. These dreams she was having did not fit into the realm of her powers. Adam, she thought, I have to tell Adam. If these dreams were to become more than dreams, there has to be something they could do to stop it. She pulled on her slippers and her robe and closed her door as quietly as the heavy chestnut door would allow.
"Hi," whispered Emma as she walked into the lab.
"More dreams?" asked Adam.
She nodded and pulled her robe tighter around her. Adam looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I can't really explain it," she exclaimed twisting her com-link with her thumb "I think something's coming."
"To Sanctuary?" asked Adam looking at her funny.
Emma could feel his disbelief.
"Forget, I should have known you would think I was crazy," she whispered walking out of the lab.
"Wait Em!" yelled Adam rushing out of the lab "What's going on?"
Emma turned around pushing her bright red hair from her tired eyes.
"Tonight, Puck pulled me up onstage to do a trick with him. One of his assistance bumped into me." She said.
"So?" asked Adam "Not to offend you but it really doesn't seem like a four alarm crisis to me."
"I saw something," she said……
