Hey everybody, sorry I haven't updated in awhile; ive been having writers block and I was without the internet for awhile. Anyways heres a new chapter for you, hope you enjoy

"Mama where are you?!

"I can't see, It's too dark, I'm scared," Joel cries. He struggles against the chains that bound his hands above his head; dirt covered him from head to toe. The only light in the room was a candle on a steal table, the kind that you would see in a morgue where surgeons would perform an autopsy, and next to it were surgical tools and a gold rosary; other than that, all that was in the room was an old wooden staircase that went up to a locked door, and the floor was entirely made of sand.

"Mama, please help me," Joel screams.

"Do not be afraid little demon," a voice says in the darkness; a hand appears over Joel's head and pets him as if they were soothing an animal.

"This is all a bad dream. Now, sleep; sleep like Daddy over there," the voice tells him and points to the far end of the basement; Joel looks and see's Adrian laying on the ground, back facing them and not moving. Joel looks back to the hand but, this time he could see the bearer of that hand; It was a man he had never met and he could see cold amber eyes looking at him and a frown that frightened him further back to the wall.

"Sleep NOW!" the man pulls out a knife and raises it to strike.

Sydney's POV

"NO!" I screamed.

I woke up gasping and cold sweat covered my brow. 'Why was I having these dreams' I pondered. This past week I've been having these dreams that Jarrod kidnaps Adrian and Joel; takes them away to kill them. I am truly scared he will come and finish what he started five years ago.

I pray he doesn't succeed.

I flinch as I feel a hand on my shoulder. "My love, What's the matter?" he asks soothingly.

I shake my head, "Nothing love, just a bad dream; I need to check on Joel."

I got up and made my way to Joel's room.

His room was like any ordinary five year-old room; toy's scattered on the floor, clothes partly out of the dresser; and the boy himself sprawled over the bed, his tiny legs stretching out from under the blankets, his arm over his face and the other hanging off the bed. I smiled to myself as I went over to his bed and fix him so he was comfortable. As soon as he was tucked in, I just sat on his bed and looked at him. All I could think about was how I can protect my son if the worse should happen. What would I do? How would I do it?

I was clueless…helpless.

I kissed Joel on his forehead and said I loved him, and left.

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't see Dimitri and Rose until she spoke.

"Good evening your highness," she said with a bow, as did Dimitri. They both knew it bothered me when they treated me like a princess but they do it to be funny, so I chuckled.

"Hey guy's, enjoying your time together?" I asked. Rose had come down from Pennsylvania to visit Dimitri. Did I mention that they were married now? Well, Dimitri proposed to her when we went to pick her up at the airport and they were so excited that immediately, they went to the nearest church and made it official.

"Yes we are, we just came back from a nice stroll in the garden," Rose said.

"That's nice," I said grimly, still troubled from the dream.

"Are you alright?" Dimitri asked.

"You look troubled," said Rose.

I don't know how but they always know when something was wrong; I guess it's all part of being a guardian. I couldn't find my voice, the horrors of the dream were coming back and frightened me speechless.

"Sydney, you can tell us we're all friends," soothes Dimitri.

I nod and I tell them about the nightmares.

"Its alright Syd, it was just a dream," say's Rose.

"It felt so real," I protest.

"If, God forbid, something should happen I won't let that bastard harm Joel, or Adrian, or you," Dimitri said, voice filled with determination. I always admired him for his strength and courage; I could see why Rose loved him so much.

"Thank you," I said, and gave them both a hug.

"I have a favor to ask of you both," I said.

Adrian's POV

When Sydney left to check on Joel, I was left to wonder what she has been dreaming of that made her so scared. All I knew was that for the last few days she has been having nightmares; Every time I ask her about them she just shrugs it off as nothing. I knew that it was something terrible if she won't talk to me about it. I just hope that it will pass.

However, I do notice something strange about her aura when she is having those dreams lately; normally it's a purple and gold color, passionate and intelligent, but I see a hint of blue in her. Blue is the color I see in those who hold magic in them; I only see blue in Moroi, and in a few witches that I have met in my life. Sydney certainly isn't Moroi, and there's no way she's a witch.

Right?

Of course I had little time to think on it; Sydney had come back.

I met her with a smile and held my arms out to her; she crawled into bed and made herself comfortable in my arms.

"How is he?" I asked.

"He is perfect, and beautiful," she say's. I chuckle and turn her to face me.

"Well of course, look at his mother," I tell her and kiss her brow.

"Look at his father," she retorts.

I smile and kiss her again, this time deeper; I roll her onto her back and me on top never breaking the kiss.

Nothing more was said until the dawn.

Sydney's POV

I lay there in silence, Adrian already asleep, I thought about the favor I asked of Rose and Dimitri.

"I have a favor to ask of you both," I say.

"Anything," they both said.

I took a deep breath.

"If anything should happen to me and Adrian, will you promise to care for Joel, look after him, protect him?" I ask, tears stinging my eyes.

Rose embraces me, "It won't come to that, I promise you," she say's.

"You have our word," Dimitri promises.

"Thank you, thank you both so much," I said.

The memory itself haunted me, but I was able to sleep knowing that Rose and Dimitri would be there for Joel.

Jarrod's POV

"Sir, Everything is ready," Said Donna Stanton.

"Good, now all we need is that whore, the Demon, and their little runt," I spat.

Now is the time we end this; I have waited for this day to come for the last five years, and now I will make them suffer as I had.

I have been humiliated in front of the Alchemist's. I have been branded as a failure when Sydney chose to marry that monster. I was accused of 'allowing' them to be together; I will never forget the day they judged me.

"Jarrod Sage, do you know why you're here?" the judge asked me.

"I am here before the court today to be tried as a failure to the alchemist's." I claim.

"Yes, and a traitor; you have allowed Sydney to be with those demons. We almost had her, she was becoming one of us," the judge said angrily.

"Do you deny these accusations Jarrod?"

"Yes, by the time I learned of her relations I did everything in my power to try and stop it; then we were ambushed by the royal guards. There was nothing I could do, we were outnumbered."

"TRIED AND FAILED!" The judge shouted.

"Please, your honor, just give me another chance," I plead.

"No, I will not let you fail us a second time. I Judge Jameson, and the rest of the counsel, sentence you to five years in rehab," he declared.

Five years.

For five years I suffered in that horrific place. But now I will have my revenge.

When I catch them, they will never again see the light of day.

Oh boy! Sydrian and Jr. better watch out. Please R&R and the more reviews I get, the faster you will get a new chapter!. Xoxo.
