Chapter Five

Isabel was having a wonderful dream tonight and for that she was grateful. It was better than the nightmares that had taken hold of her mind lately. After Alex dead and at the hands of Tess of all people, she had thought her mind would not handle it. But tonight the dream was sweet in some ways. Alex and Isabel where dancing slowly which was in contrary to the fast song playing, the two where holding into each other like they never wanted to late go.

"You are so beautiful" Isabel said softly hearing the beat of Alex's heart. "Aren't I the one who should say that" Alex said softly in her hair as she snuggled against him. She tilted her head to look into his eyes and smiled jouyously, this seemed real, one dream she never wanted to end.

Then her smile dissappeared as she thought about how this was a dream. This wasn't real, Tess had taken that away from her. Instead of being with Alex in real life she had to passify herself with dreams. Alex stopped dancing as if sensing her distress and looked down at her raising her face to match him.

"What's wrong Isabel?" He asked in a concerned voice, "Why are you so sad?"

"Because this isn't real" Isabel said trying not to cry which is something she felt like doing for the last week and so. It hurt to much to think about the way she felt so helpless, she took a step backward trying not to see the pain that had flashed in Alex's eyes. He must think she was abondaning him again, that she was trying to get away from him.

"Isabel?" Alex said in a questioning voice he looked confused as hell, "I thought we were having a good time, you were happy a few moments ago, what changed?"

"You are not real" Isabel said looking around at the romantic scenary, the pale red roses, the champagne, the stars, the table set beside the lake and then at Alex, "This is a dream, you are dead."

Alex nodded his head as if in understanding, "Isabel, this is your dream, I can't believe it"

"Believe what?" She asked slightly confused, not knowing what he was talking about. She knew that this was a dream, her dream or not didn't matter.

"That I am the man of you dreams" Alex said with a small smile holding Isabel's palm into his, "That was always my dream, you know"

Isabel smiled at that, she knew, how many times had she dreamwalked into Alex's mind and found him dreaming about her. It was rather freak to be honest but she felt so special knowing that someone loved her like that. And when she was finally getting ready to risk her heart, to allow herself to be happy, he was taken away from her.

"Isabel" Alex called out to her, breaking her thoughts, "I am not here to see you distressed. I come here so you can came to grips with my death and Tess's betrayed."

"She killed you" Isabel said calmly breaking away from him and went to take a seat. She was way to calm, before whenever Tess came into her mind, Alex would as well and she would breakdown, crying her eyes out. "I have come to grips with it, its all grippy"

"Yes she did" Alex said walking over to Isabel before kneeing in front of her, "You are so angry at her, in so much pain and that is not what I wish for you, my love"

"So what, I should forgive and forget?" Isabel asked with a harsh laugh a tear sliped

Alex laid one hand on Isabel's lap and another on her cheeck to wipe away the tear, "I love you Izzy, but the hatred you feel will destroy you if you are not careful."

"I don't want to talk about Tess anymore" Isabel said in an experated voice

"Then let's dance" Alex got up and pulled Isabel strongly towards him, holding her as tightly as before, the music was slow at that point, "We were suppose to be together, weren't we?"

Isabel stoped moving, looked up, smiled and nodded her head, "Yes, we were"
