Alex was sound asleep, in her room. She was sound asleep, and soon enough she was dreaming. Little did she know, she was about to get a visitor, or visitors, and they weren't going to be friendly...

Alex was standing in a black room, surrounded by nothing but darkness. She had this really bad feeling that something was going to happen. She didn't know what though. She walked through the area, trying to find the way out, until...

"Greetings. You must be Alex." A voice, chilling to the bone caught her attention. Alex slowly turned around, and came face to face with a hooded figure. Alex had no idea who it was, or what it was for that matter. She took a defensive step back, and continued to eye the figure.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Alex asked, fear obviously in her voice.

"This? Oh, this is my realm. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Nightmare. See, I have this power which is also a curse." Nightmare stated. "I can only exist in people's dreams. I have the power to turn dreams into nightmares, deadly nightmares."

"Why me?" Alex asked.

"Because, I want to really hurt David Falcone." Nightmare said, taking a step towards Alex. "If I were to kill someone that he loves, it would absolutely destroy him."

"You are wrong, David doesn't love me." Alex said. "Not after how bad I hurt him." Alex said tearing up.

"Foolish girl. Don't be so naive." Nightmare grinned. "He still loves you, and I'll provee it." Nightmare reached out, and grabbed Alex's wrist. Alex winced in pain as Nightmare's sharp nails, pierced her skin. Alex then knew that she was in trouble...

Justin walked to his sister's room. He had this really bad feeling that something was wrong, and he just wanted to check on her just to be sure. He opened the door, and saw that to his horror, Alex was laying in her bed, thrashing about. Justin ran to her side, trying to wake her up. He then saw that her wrists were bleeding.

"No." Justin whispered. "Alex, what is happening?" Justin, not knowing what to do, decided that he needed someone who had the power to help her. That someone will help her.

Will he?

Lynn was sound asleep in her room, until she heard her cell phone ring. Sleepily, she reached over, and answered.

"Hello." Lynn said sleepily.

"Lynn, something's wrong with Alex!" Justin screamed frantically.

"Whoa, calm down. What's wrong with her?" Lynn said, fully awake.

"She's having a nightmare, and her wrists are cut. Help her, please!" Justin screamed. Lynn jumped up, and pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt, and ran out her front door. Hoping to find her brother. As she rounded the corner, she ran into William.

"What's wrong?" William asked her.

"Something's wrong. Alex is in trouble, and I need to find David." Lynn said frantically.

"Wait, what is happening?" William said.

"It's Nightmare, it has to be." Lynn said. "I got to find David." Lynn began to walk past him, but William grabbed her.

"Look, we'll to the Russos together." William said calmly. "Use your powers to find him telepathically." Lynn nodded, and the both of them ran towards the Russo's residence, praying that David would arrive in time.

David was walking through the city, and then, someone entered his mind...

"David, Alex is in trouble, hurry to her house, now." Lynn thought.

"What's wrong?" David thought.

"Nightmare's attacking her! Please help!" Lynn said, crying.

"Alright, I'm on my way. Hang on!" David said.

David began to run towards Waverly Place, knowing that he can't let the girl he truly loved, die because of him.
