AN: Things have calmed down, but Nightmare isn't going away, and neither is David.

Chapter Seven

After things had calmed down, everyone was wondering how to deal with this character, character being Nightmare. Louis and Villo had been called, and they were on the scene just as Alex came out of her little dream. David knew that this thing between him and Nightmare wasn't over, and he knew that he was going to strike again, but how and where was the million dollar question that he didn't have the answer to. He couldn't let him get near the people he loved or his friends.

"David, who is this Nightmare character?" Villo asked, walking up to him.

"Yeah, who is he?" Louis asked.

"Okay." David said as he began his long explanation. "This guy real name Arthur Banks."

"How do you know that?" Jerry asked.

"I looked it up." David said. "Anyways, this guy as a curse placed on him. The curse gives him a special power, invading people's dreams, and kill people, but it has a catch. He can only live in those people's dreams. My grandfather put a curse on him, and now he is basically trapped in whatever state he is in, unless someone can kill him or bring him out of that state."

"And how do you do that?" Jerry asked.

"Just you leave that to me." David said. "I will take care of him...for good."

The mood in the Russo residence seemed to calm down after a while. Villo and Louis were actually back on somewhat good terms. They were actually talking to them in the living room. Lynn was talking to Justin and Max, and Alex was lying in her room, sleep. David disappeared, and his whereabouts were unknown at that time. Alex slowly woke up, and sat up in her bed. She looked around. She was alone, or at least she thought so. As soon as she threw back the covers, and had her feet touch the floor, a voice growled through the room.

"Stay in bed. Alex." the voice growled. Alex looked around the room, and Saw David sitting in the corner of the room, looking towards the window.

"I thought that you left." Alex said, looking towards him. "Why are you still here?"

"Because," David said, getting up, and walking towards her, "while you were out, we all agreed that I should stand guard over you, because Nightmare is going to attack again, when and where, I don't know."

"So, you are like my bodyguard, huh?" Alex said. "Why?"

"Because I am the only one who can kill Nightmare." David said. After he spoke, there was a long silence. After a minute had passed, Alex spoke up.

"David, I'm sorry if I hurt you. It was a stupid thing that I did, and you deserved better." Alex said, tears forming in her eyes. David went over to her, and hugged her gently.

"Shhh, it's all right, I'm here." David said, patting her back as she cried into his shoulder. She felt calm as he hugged her close. Little did they know, however, a mad Nightmare was plotting his revenge. Nightmare knew the exact way to get rid of David Falcone, for good.

Make Alex Russo kill him.
