[b]Chapter 3: Danger[/b]
Suddenly Alex rushed into the tent. "What's wrong baby?" Alex asked as Liz switched Isabel so that she would rest on Alex's shoulder instead of her own. Max and Michael bent down so that they were able to see inside the tent and figure out what was going on. Liz sat next to Isabel still patting her leg to calm her down, while Maria nervously bit at her nails behind Max and Michael.
Isabel's heavy breathing slowly settled to a normal pace as she spoke, "I had a nightmare." She said softly and slowly. "What was it about Izzy?" Alex asked as he still gently rocked her back and forth. "It was about a man, he's… he was coming after me." Isabel stated. Everyone stared at her baffled at her statement. "What do you mean he was coming after you?" Alex questioned her again. "I mean he wanted me, and he would do anything in his power to get me, even if it meant killing other people. Innocent people." Isabel said. "Izzy, I just think it was a really bad dream." Alex said.
"It was so real. I felt it Alex." Isabel said. "Isabel, I don't think that it could have been real." Max says slowly. "I mean come on think about it; people have bad dreams all the time. And a lot of the time, they can feel real, very real." Max states. "It doesn't mean anything Isabel." Max says. "I know that this is more than just a dream, I can't explain it, but I can just tell." Isabel says as everyone drops their heads to look at the ground.
"You don't believe me do you?" Isabel asked as she shifted out of Alex's arms. "Any of you?" Isabel asked when no one answered her question. "It's not that we don't believe you Isabel, it's just… listen to what you're saying sweetie." Alex said trying not to hurt her feelings anymore than he already had by not believing her.
"I am listening to what I am saying, and what I am saying makes perfect sense." Isabel says a little angrily. "I believe you." Everyone turns around to face Maria. "You do?" Isabel asked with some hope in her voice. "I mean think about you guys, if anyone knows something about what goes on in dreams, it's Isabel." Maria reminds them. "Maria is right." Alex says. "Thanks you guys." Isabel says slowly.
"Well, what exactly happened in the dream, Isabel?" Michael finally spoke up. "Well, it wasn't really me seeing what was happening. It was more like… I felt it." Isabel said. "I know it doesn't really make sense, but it's the truth." Isabel says. "So you didn't see what this person that was after you looked like?" Alex asked. "No, not exactly, but I could feel what he felt." Isabel said.
"What do you mean you could feel what he felt?" Liz asked confused. "I could feel how much he wanted me." Isabel says. "What do you mean he wanted you?" Alex asks. "I don't know." Isabel confesses. "I think we need to sleep on this." Max says trying to finalize the conversation. "Do you even believe me Max?" Isabel asked.
Max takes a moment and looks his sister over, "No, I don't believe you." He says straight forward. Isabel's eyes went wide and then there was an awkward silence. Max realized how harsh his words were, and then felt bad about what he had said. "I'm sorry Iz. It's just that do you know what you're saying means? It means that this isn't over. This whole war between us and our enemies. And I don't know if I'm ready to accept that just yet." Max admits.
"We always knew that our enemies would be back one day. We knew that it was only a matter of time. And maybe Isabel's dream is warning us that our enemies are back." Liz offers in her theory. Max turns to Isabel. "I'm sorry for being so hard on you Iz; it's just that I was hoping that all of this stuff was all over with." Max says apologetically. "We all did." Liz says sadly.
"I'm still not a hundred percent positive that this is real." Isabel admits. "I don't want you guys to hate me if this ends up being nothing." She finishes. "Hate you? Come on Isabel." Maria says smiling. "You're following your instincts Isabel; you're doing what you have to do. No one is mad about that. And most definitely no one is going to hate you if what you're thinking is wrong. We'll just be glad that you were wrong." Alex says as he squeezes Isabel's hand softly.
"I think we should all go to bed, and finish talking about what to do about this in the morning… agree?" Max asks everyone. "Yes." was all that everyone said. "I love you Iz, and if you're having trouble sleeping come into my dreams. I'll make it better for you." Alex whispers into her ear as she nods smiling.
The boys all went back into their own tent while the girls stayed in the tent that they were in. Just when Isabel was starting to have another bad dream she felt herself being pulled into a different dream. Alex's...
[i]"I'm glad to see that you came." Alex says smiling. Isabel can't help but smile at her boyfriend. "Alex, something isn't right and I just know it." Isabel blurts out. Alex walks closer to Isabel and brings her in for a hug. "It'll be okay Izzy." Alex says trying to reassure her. "Alex I don't think it will be." Isabel says. "Why not?" Alex asks. "You think just because of one bad dream you had that nothing will ever be okay anymore?" Alex asks. "Well when you put it that way it seems like I'm crazy." Isabel says.
"You aren't crazy Isabel. I believe whatever you think is happening, but just don't think that our life together is going to be ruined. I won't let that happen." Alex states. "Thank you for being here for me Alex. I love you." Isabel says snuggling her head into Alex's chest as she closer her eyes for a minute.
When Isabel reopened her eyes she found Alex and herself at the beach, dressed in summer clothes. "How did you-?" Isabel started. "Hey, you aren't the only one that can do cool things in dreams. Remember this is just a dream and I can wish us up to go wherever we want just by thinking about it." Alex says. "I like it here… with you." Isabel says as they start to walk along the beach hand in hand. "I can't make it last forever." Alex says sadly. "Just give me tonight. I want to spend this night with you." Isabel says as they continue to walk.
"I will." Alex promises. "I'm scared Alex." Isabel says quickly. "Don't be scared. I'm here. We're all here for you. And no one is going to get you Isabel, they'd have to get through Max, Michael, and then through me, which I wouldn't let happen." Alex tells her. "Thank you." Isabel said smiling.
"Now enough about the bad stuff. We'll worry about all that in the morning with the others. For now lets just enjoy our time together." Alex says. "Good idea." Isabel says as she smiles happily and leans her head against Alex as they continue to talk about their relationship and watch the sunrise together. Hoping that it wouldn't be the last time.[/i]
"Isabel, Isabel… Isabel, wake up!" Liz and Maria said while trying to shake Isabel awake. "Uh…" Isabel mumbled as she sat up to see her friends laughing hysterically. "What?" Isabel asked. "So did you uh… visit Alex in his dreams last night?" Maria asked giggling. "Yes, how did you know?" Isabel asked. "Lets just say it was hard to fall asleep last night, because all you kept saying was Alex I love you, and Alex I love you, and umm… Alex I love you." Maria said laughing. "I said that?" Isabel asked thinking back to her dream and not remembering it clearly.
"Yes, you did say that, and more than just once too." Liz said smiling and glad that her friend was able to have good dream after what happened in her first dream. "Sorry…" Isabel said smiling.
"So… what happened in your good dream?" Liz asked her friend. "Well, Alex put us on a beach. And there was the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen in my whole entire life." Isabel said laughing. "Hmm… on a beach with a sunrise? That's so romantic. I'd be lucky if Michael would even mention something about sunrises!" Maria said laughing.
"Michael is a really good guy, even if it doesn't seem like it some of the time, I can just tell." Liz said. "I didn't say he wasn't a good guy, I just said that he isn't romantic!" Maria said laughing as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail. Isabel waved her hand over herself changing her clothing so that she was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
"You have it too easy!" Liz said laughing. Isabel then waved her hand over Liz's pajamas and put her in jean capris and a tank top. "Well, maybe I have it pretty easy too!" Liz said as she smiled at her friend. "Me, me, my turn!" Maria says sarcastically as she was already dressed. "Well, laugh it up all you want. Next time you spill a stain on your clothes, guess whose not going to help you get it out?" Isabel said to her shorter friend.
When the girls were all ready they got out of the tent to find out that the guys were still sleeping. "Hmm… I think this causes for some fun." Maria says as she looks at her two best friends. "What do you have in mind?" Isabel asks Maria.
"What the heck?" Alex asked as he felt drops of water on his face. At the same time Max and Michael sat up. All three boys looked up to find what looked like rain pouring down on them. Of course with their luck they had bought a tent with small air holes at the top. "There's no way it's raining!" Max said startled. The three boys got out of the tent to find the girls laughing so hard they were almost on the floor. They all looked up to find a small rain cloud right above their tent that was pouring rain.
"A little noticeable?" Max asked Isabel. "No one is here for miles, besides… the look on the three of your guy's faces was priceless when you came running out of the tent!" Isabel said laughing as she raised her hand up and the small cloud slowly went back up high into the sky. "Now, while we get ready for breakfast why don't you guys go get dried off and dressed." Maria offered. "Fine." Michael mumbled as the boys went into the tent knowing that it wouldn't take long with the drying off part, they did have two alien boys with powers.
When the boys were fully dressed and dried off they sat at the small picnic table next to their campsite and ate their bowls of cereal. "You do know that you girls are going to pay for what you did to us right?" Alex asked them. "Hmm… I don't think that you'll be able to catch us off guard." Isabel said smiling.
They were all enjoying their morning, trying to forget about Isabel's dream when all of the sudden someone's cell phone started to ring. "Oh, I think that's me!" Liz said as she got up from the table and went into the tent. "Yeah… Mom we are doing fine." Liz said rolling her eyes as she came out of the tent and sat back down at the table.
"What? Mom, who? How many?" Liz asked quickly, a look of terror coming on her face. Everyone stopped eating and stared at Liz waiting to hear what was going on. Just then Liz dropped her cell phone on the table wide-eyed, and slowly turned her head to look at Isabel.
