At the same time, the others came back. They came back really happy because they had succeeded in their mission. But, they stopped when they saw that the Sanctuary was wrecked. They went looking for us because they became worried thinking maybe Genomax broke in and killed us.
They saw me snoozing on the couch and thought I was dead. They ran toward me. Brennan picked me up and shook me, but I was a heavy sleeper so I didn't even stir. They thought I was dead, since I was covered in wounds and injuries. They heard Shalimar scream, so with Brennan carrying me, they ran towards the scream. Shalimar found Sam on the lab chair, also covered wounds and injuries. They tried to wake Sam up, but Sam was too exhausted, so she didn't stir, too.
Jesse carried Sam and they went in search for Adam. They panicked. They found Adam asleep at his computer, but thought he was dead, too.
"No…." Emma whispered. "We shouldn't have left them here!"
They didn't notice Sam open her eyes sleepily and say, "Shouldn't leave who here?"
Everyone jumped at Sam's voice and assured themselves that they didn't hear Sam say anything. Sam was asleep again when they saw her, so they still thought everyone was dead.
Then, I lifted my hand to my mouth and yawned. Jesse froze when he saw me move. I fell back asleep again. "Um, guys?" said Jesse. "I don't think they're dead. They're asleep!"
"Huh?!" Everyone watched us carefully. Emma checked our pulses and beamed.
"Nope, they're not dead!" Emma confirmed. "But, what happened here?"
"Hmm," Brennan said thoughtfully. "You don't think the trouble-makers did this, do you? If they did, then I feel very sorry for Adam. Look at him, he's exhausted. They're all exhausted."
"We'll find out in the morning," said Shalimar yawning. "I'm pretty tired too."
Everyone agreed. Brennan carried me to my room and tucked me in. Jesse carried Sam and tucked her in. Shalimar and Emma carried Adam to his room and tucked him in. After they did that, they went to bed. Everyone fell asleep as soon as their heads touched their pillows.
I had very weird dreams that night. I dreamt that Adam ran away from Sanctuary and Emma fell in love with Mason Eckhart. I also dreamt that Shalimar hated Brennan really much and hired someone to murder Brennan. There was also a dream where Mason Eckhart had a daughter and Jesse worked for Genomex. What's also weird about that dream was that Jesse fell in love with Eckhart's daughter and they got married.
I woke up drenched in sweat from the nightmares. I didn't know that nightmares could be so terrifying and stupid. "Nightmares are supposed to have limits!" I said out loud.
I got out of bed and took a shower. It was already three in the morning and I couldn't go back to sleep. I crept into Jesse's room and sat beside his bed watching him sleep. I watched his chest rise and fall softly while he slept. I fell asleep while watching him.
In the morning, Jesse woke up. He yawned and rubbed his eyes, and thought he saw someone in the chair beside his bed. He looked closer and frowned in confusion.
"Alex?" he said sleepily. "What are you doing here?"
"Huh?" I said, rubbing my eyes. "Um, oh, I must have fell asleep when I was watching you."
"Watching me? Why?" Jesse asked confused.
"I couldn't go back to sleep after my weird dreams and I came in here."
I told Jesse about my dreams. Jesse's expressions on his face changed a lot throughout the stories. From surprised to shock, from shocked to astonished, from astonished to amused, from amused to disbelief and so on.
"Whoa, that would never happen in a million years!" Jesse said after I told him everything. He had laughed, chuckled and smiled throughout the stories.
"Yeah," I agreed.
When everyone was awake, Adam, Sam and I told them the whole story about his clone, me going evil, me nearly killing Sam and Adam, and Sam nearly killing me and the other Adam. And how everyone was so injured. They couldn't believe they never suspected there was another Adam in the Sanctuary all that time. They told us about their mission and about how when they came home, they thought we were all dead. Then Jesse made me tell everyone my weird dreams.
We all had a good time listening to our wild adventures. They were relieved when they learned we actually cared about people, or specifically Adam. They were proud of us, but we couldn't take the mushy stuff and only said 'yeah' and 'whatever.'
