That night I went upstairs to bed, I had tired myself out with playing tricks with John. I lay in bed and Grams, John and Monica came to hug me goodnight. I fell into a deep sleep. I opened my eyes and found myself standing on a beach, the waves crashing against the rocks, I had the sudden feeling that I was not alone, I get down on my hands and knees and started to make what I think is a sandcastle, but it starts to look like a spaceship when I am almost finished, I hear someone laugh behind me, it sounds familiar, I turn my head and see that its Emily. I look at her she is dressed in white and looks so angelic, and so much like my mother.

"Hi little brother, guess you weren't expecting to see me again?" she says coming and standing next to me. I laugh "You haven't changed Em" I say hugging her even though I know she is an apparition, I feel as if this real. She pulls away from me and looks down at the ship and smiles, "You are the one" she says looking at me. I don't understand what she means she looks behind me and lets go of my hand.
"It's time for me to go Will" she says. In the distance I can see the outlines of some people who call to Emily. I turn to her surprised and she nods and takes me further down the beach to that of my relatives, my aunt Sam, Melissa, my grandfathers and my grandmother, the Lone Gunmen they smile and each come over one by one and hug me.

"You will find them, you were never meant to be separated from them" says my aunt Sam, brushing my fringe back from my face. Each of my relatives tell me how proud I have made them, and that they would risk their lives again to keep my parents alive, if it meant me seeing them again. Emily turns to me one last time.
"Things are going to happen, Will, things beyond yours or even our control just remain positive and know that we will always be with you"
Frohike, Byers and Langly smile at me again and embrace me one last time. "If you need us little man, just call and we will be there" says Frohike I nod and they all begin to walk away into the mist that surrounds us and then I am alone on the beach.
I walk back to the sand sculpture I have made "So long sis" I whisper into the distance and begin to stare at it when I again feel a presence behind me. I turn and look up into a face that resembles my own , he wears a t-shirt and jeans and he smiles at me as if he has never seen me before, with his hand he reaches out and my hand of its own accord touches his, we hug and before I know it I say "Hi Dad"

My father's face begins to fade and I know I am waking up. I awake to the sun's rays streaming through the window, I yawn but smile knowing that there in my dream I had met my relatives. Grams comes in just as I jump out of bed, she is smiling and is dressed. "Morning sweetie, put on some clean travelling clothes, we are going on a trip" she says excitedly "Where to Grams?"

"To New Mexico" she says standing smiling at me and I know what she means. I run to her and hug her tightly. "Thank you, for helping me doing this" I say burying my face into her shoulder. "I would do anything to make you happy you know that, you are my grandson and I love you" she says and then pulls away from me. "Now go and get washed and dressed" she says laughing while she packs the rest of my things into my rucksack.

An hour later Walter is waiting for us outside in the car and he takes our things and puts them in the back compartment of the car. "Are you coming too" I ask. He nods and then drives us to the airport. When we go into the departure lounge I can't help but look around, I have this strange feeling inside me, something is not right, someone is watching us. Walter notices this "You okay" he asks. I shake my head and whisper to him. "In the crowd over there, I can feel something but it feels…. Not human" I say

My grandmother looks down at me, and there is a fear in her eyes, I've seen once before. Walter puts his hand on his holster and indicates for me and my grandmother to go ahead and board the plane. We do as instructed, but by the time I am seated I feel myself go weak, whatever these things are they have found out where I am. Grams holds me tightly, but I pull away from her, she looks down at me "I'm going to go help Walter" I say unbuckling my seatbelt and running from her, by this time I am off the plane and back in the lounge, I see no trace of them, then I see Walter following him to the mens room. I run towards them, just as I am about to push the door open I find that its locked. I put my hand on the lock, use my powers to open it and at that moment I see Walter being pinned against the wall by another man. He looks familiar.

"William run!" shouts Walter as the man starts to walk towards me, he smirks and says " Ah how lucky we meet again, Abomination" he says with utter disgust and venom in his voice. That's when I remember who he is, Knowle Rhorer. I put out my hand and the room begins to vibrate as I feel the power inside surge through my veins, I open my eyes just as I am about to fire at him "The name is William Mulder" a blast of energy comes from me and he is thrown across the room he uses his power to throw me against Walter I get up again and concentrate harder. I psychically pull the sink from the wall and throw it against him, I let the energy blast from me again and it hits him full force. He begins to scream I go and help Walter up just as he stumbles forwards we watch as his body begins to writhe on the floor, I watch as I see his skin turn to a chorroding metal colour and melt away to nothing. Walter looks down at me in shock.

"Come on, we better get out of here" he says pulling me away from the scene. We board the plane and before we know it we are leaving Washington and heading for New Mexico. I explain to Grams what happened and she hugs me again to make sure I am okay and tells me to try and sleep while the air hostess covers me with a blanket. I close my eyes and let my breathing go steady.

I think the hardest part of going on a long journey is when you are wearing the same pair of blue sneakers all the time. Your feet begin to itch but you can't help but wonder at what strange force which is keeping them tied to your feet without falling off. It scares me to think that somebody else out there could be more powerful than me.

Three hours later we land in San Jose airport, I have slept the whole journey, we exit the plane and Walter goes and collects our luggage. It is very warm and I wipe my hand against my forehead as my Grams smiles down at me. Walter hails for a cab, this is it we are going to find my parents. The driver takes us to the middle of a dessert, and Walter thanks him in spanish and hands the driver a large amount of money for only an hours taxi ride, Grams looks at him surprised like he has a hidden talent she had never known about as the man helps us out with our luggage he shouts "Adios" as he drives off.

My Grams asks him why we are here but he suddenly walks down the side of a cave and then we hear the roar of an engine, I look up at Grams surprised and then Walter puts our things in the back and we get in. From what happened I guess Walter doesn't want the same thing to happen as in the airport we head down the motorway we must be the only car on the road, until we pull in at an old gas station, its abandoned and Walter gets out the car and paces the ground obviously waiting on someone. Half an hour later a jeep pulls up and I am surprised to see Monica and John get out the car and come to my side.

"What are you guys doing here?" I ask shocked. "Well you are our godson kiddo, and we are here to protect you as we promised and to help you and your parents to safety. We know what happened with Rhorer, they will know he is missing when he won't report back with you." said John. I look at him and remember Emily's words from my dream "Things are going to happen Will, things beyond yours or even our control" Before I know it I feel myself saying and believing "More will come" Monica motions for all of us to get in the car and I ask where we are going "To the reservation, some old friends of ours and of your parents, who contacted us on their wherabouts" says Monica and I nod she pats my head and she draws me close "Don't worry everything is going to be alright" I swallow hard knowing that I am not long from being with them.

Three hours later we pull off the motorway into what looks like a ravine, we get out of the car and abandon it, we walk the rest of the way up the side of the mountain and just over the next hill we see the reservation. My senses tell me this is a good place, my powers seem more active here the mind reading power switches itself on inside my head and I hear the thoughts of the indian members one thought in partiuclar stands out "He is here" I don't' know what is meant by that thought but I know it has something to do with our arrival.

We keep walking until we get to a house, Walter and John go to the door and knock, a man appears and they all smile and shake hands. "It's good to see you again Eric" says Walter, Eric comes forward and hugs Monica and as he pulls from her embrace he turns and stares at my Grams and smiles, Grams smiles back too as if she is remembering something comforting. "Hello, Eric you look so much your Grandfather" Eric nods sadly and they too embrace. At that I look up at him and he stares down at me he stoops down to my eye level and looks into my eyes, as if I am some spy and then he smiles "God he has her eyes and looks so much like Mulder" I smile at him and he shakes my hand then he says something that makes me freeze inside "Its about time you came, we've been expecting you" I don't understand what he meant by that but as I was told, the answers that I seek will come in time.

"Come inside, you all must be tired from your long journey." We sit down and make ourselves comfortable, but I don't feel at ease there is someone in this house, that knows something I don't. "Where's Gibson?, Eric" asks John. "Oh he is at the corral trying to train this young wild foal that we found orphaned, I'm telling you that boy has not rested since he found it" he says laughing. Eric turns and looks at me "Would you like to go and see the horses after you've had something to eat? Monica knows the way" I nod excitedly and he laughs "Just like your father" he murmurs and goes into the kitchen to help his wife and Walter.

After a late lunch, I change into shorts and a t-shirt and Monica and I head down to the corral, I like it here its peaceful, children play happily in the street unaware of the things out there that I have seen, my life has changed dramatically within the past week. Monica notices my silence and playfully nudges me "You're quiet, anything troubling you?" I shake my head and laugh, as we near the corral I hear laughter of older boys and the neighing of horses, some boys whistle at Monica and she glares at them "Hey don't bother trying your luck she is already taken" I hear a voice behind the fence say. The crowd of boys part and I see a guy of twenty with glasses on come toward us. He and Monica hug. "It's good to see you again Gibson" she says with a lot of emotion in her voice I sense that this Gibson guy and she must have had a very close relationship. "Is John and Walter here I sensed you guys would be coming" Monica looked down at me and back to Gibson. We look straight at each other. "Gibson I would like you to meet someone, this is William, my godson" Gibson smiles at me and as we are about to shake hands I feel the dream feeling come over me again as our hands connect I am thrown into a vision but this one is different Gibson's mind has connected with mine too, he sees all of my life flash by from when I was a baby to how I came to be with Grams again. I see his thoughts too and they are ones with him as a young boy too with my parents and from the time my dad escaped from prison. I pull myself out of the vision and as I do, so does Gibson he is breathing fast and looks pale as I do, then he stoops down to my eye level and says "It really is you" Monica is standing shocked in amazement, and all the boys seemed surprised too. Gibson motions for me and Monica to walk back to the house. We walk in silence and it dawns on me that it was his voice I heard in my mind, when I entered the reservation.

When we get there he says "Monica can William and I talk privately for a few minutes?" I turn to him surprised and she nods and goes inside leaving Gibson and I alone sitting on the top step. "How long have you known?" he asks. "I've always known as soon as I was old enough to remember I knew that being with my adpotive parents was not where I am supposed to be I want to be with my mom and dad" He nods "I understand how you feel, John and Monica became like my real parents after my mom and dad were killed, as did your parents to me, I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for them" he says smiling. "What are they like?" I ask. He tells me that they are the most loving, strongest couple he has ever known. "Why do you ask if you can remember so much about them?" he says. "Because if they loved me so much then why didn't they fight to keep me, all that time I could have been with them and everything would be alright, I would know who my family is and all these people that feel so much for me and yet I cannot understand why I was given away"
