A/N: I know I'm really late with this one, but I have fixed and worked, and re-fixed this really fast, so that I could get it up. I'm trying to balance English papers and other school work on top of dance and musical. I get myself into a lot of stuff, and now I'm making you all pay the price, very sorry indeed. I can't remember who reviewed last time, but thank you so much! I really appreciate when you review!

anyway, Allonsy!

Alice had been searching through months of video, from the day the note was found to the present hour, looking for any unusual signs or creatures. She found many interesting aliens and Unidentified flying objects, but nothing that look even a wink close to the Goblin. She was determined though, to find her way back home, to find her rightful parents, and find out why her life has turned into a mumbo-jumbo ball of timy wimy... Nonsense.

The computer flashed a video on screen, and before her was the image that plagued her every thought; the Goblin. The date, two days ago. This might have been shocking, if it hadn't been for the fact of what was displayed on screen, the Goblin staring right into the camera, smiling. His horrid face filled the screen, his eyes seeming to glare right into the soul of her being.

Alice closed the video quickly, and pushed back her chair. Her thoughts completely filled with everything that she had remember from all the years she had spent with Rose and the Doctor. She loved them very much, even if they weren't her real parents. No matter, it didn't change the fact that they had raised her into a adventurous, strong willed, (almost) independent woman. But it was important to her to find out who's child she was, why she had been sent from her birthplace to a world parallel to her own.

She stared for a long while before she decided to remove herself from her sitting arrangement and find a better place to try and lay down. She glanced around for Jack, discovering him in his favorite place, when not occupied by Alice, his chair. She detoured from her trip to the couch over to where he had situated himself. She threw herself down into a chair opposite of him, and stared right at his face. His face was trying to stay without emotion, each knowing the other was staring. Luck was never in his favor for this, though, and he finally broke a smile.

"It's not going to change, no matter how long you stare at it… Whoever said that obviously never started a staring contest with you. What brings you away from your computer over to my humble abode?"

"... I found the video." Alice's tone was almost comical, light-hearted, like she was joking. Jack just smiled, thinking she was just pulling his leg; until her face turned serious. Jack adjusted in his chair, almost too quickly, shock playing across his facial features. She wasn't joking around, she had found some very dire information, and he needed to rally his troops for a hunt.

"Well, where is he? We have to find him. We know that he's going to try and find us, well, you, as soon as he's picked up any sort of trail." Alice hated when Jack became so serious, he lost his fatherly charm, his inner peace. He became stern and eyes almost livid with the idea of a monster hunting down Alice.

"West Coast America. Washington. The video feed was from some small town named Forks... Or maybe it was Spoons... Somewhere out West in America, that's all I can give you. I have the quadrants of the video feed, take them in the vehicle." She was lost in thought, trying to remember just where it had slithered into this universe, but not finding the answer she was looking for. She wondered over to grab her laptop, to taking a portable drive with her with the feed on it. She was still lost in thought, thinking about where she had seen the area before, but not ringing a bell. Shrugging, she just showed him the feed, paused, with the hideous face filling the night-vision-green screen. The face told a thousand words, but the main feeling from it posed as the predator stalking its prey casually. The mission would be dangerous and more than likely, deadly.

Alice was hoping she could sit this mission out, she did not really favor seeing the monster of the late hour. He had changed her life, and she wished, begged, that she could have prevented this from all happening. This is when she realized, If that happened, she would have never met Jack. He was her soul protector, her savior, her life. She felt a bond with him that she didn't with any other being she had ever met.

"We're going, we have to find him. We have every right, because we know he's looking for you." Jack rose from his seat and dialed his phone, calling everyone to base to prepare for the mission. Gwen, Toph, and Owen. He needed his able bodied crew behind him for this one. It was going to be a long night, and a much longer day. "Do you want to come?"

"No... I.. I think I'll sit this one out." she left without another word and ascended the stairs to the loft with the couch. Jack watched her go, noticing the toll all this was leaving on her; she was tired, scared, and just never herself anymore. She seemed like a small lost child, which he guessed she was at the moment, trying to find her family. Searching, but never finding the answers to her unsolved dilemmas. He was going to help, he was going to find this creature and help her find her proper family. That thought hurt, giving her up, after all they had learned from one another. But he had to do this, and he must be off. Jack was hunting down a terror of the night, just so that his little girl could get some sleep tonight. He was going to end all the nightmares. What he didn't know was the great and terrible discoveries he would make, and how Alice's life was more intertwined in his footsteps through life, and multiply deaths, than he could have thought possible.

Please Read and Review!

And if anyone remembers the name of Jack's "Mother"/ actually his wife/girlfriend(Or whatever she was, it had something to do with fairy's, right?). It would be much appreciated.
