Dreams and Nightmares

CHAPTER 5: The Secret
The past 3 and a half weeks had been pretty normal except for the occasional moodyness that Shalimar and Emma shared. Naturally the guys didnt think anything of it, they just thought they were on their period. It was night-time and everything was pretty quiet. Okay no mischief here so were going to go to the other end of town at 2:00.
The Hannigan House
In the house's second story 3rd bedroom you can see a sleeping little boy about 7 covered with a bunch of blankets. Apart from his face you can only see a tangled mess of dark golden curls. All the sudden he is awoken from his peaceful slumber by a sharp and small tug on his blue harry potter pajama sleeve. He looks up and see's a frowning 4 year old face. "Alyssa." He says sleepfully as she tugs on his shirt again. Stepping back he can see that her pink hello kitty pajama's aren't wet or anything. "What do you want?" He asks. "I cant seep." She says rubbing her eyes with her tiny fist. "Okay come on in." He lifts her into bed.
Half an hour later he understands why she couldn't sleep as he is awakened again by his parents big fight. He heard screams and shouts from both of them and when he looked at the door he saw his sister sitting there. Alexander got up and walked behind his sister. "Come on Lyss we'll watch from the stairs." Alyssa and Alex walked to the stairs and had been sitting their for 15 minutes when they were shocked. Their Dad pushed their Mom gently towards the door. "Leave now... I'm not letting you touch those precious angels ever." "But they have powers." She protested and the kids were shocked when they heard their dad.
"So what... What if they lose their powers are you going to kill them just like you did to Amanda and Andrew." They both gasped. Amanda had been their older sister and Andrew had been their baby brother. "They're my kids and I'll do whatever I want with them." She yelled as she shot electrical sparks out of her hands. The two zaps hit their father and both kids gasped. Alexander dragged his sister towards her bedroom door. All the sudden their mother looked up. "Kids wait.. I was just protecting us from your daddy."
Alexander ran into Alyssa's room and locked her door. He went through the doorway that lead to the playroom and locked the playroom door that faced the hall. Then he ran into his room and locked his door that faced the hall. "Alyssa. Grab your dufflebag and put whatever you can find that will fit into there." He said as he grabbed his. "Meet me in the playroom in about 5 minutes." All the sudden pounding was heard outside and Alyssa screamed.
She grabbed her dufflebag and shoved shirts, pants, underwear, socks and a hoodie into it. She zipped it up and grabbed her small backpack. Within minutes her brother was in her room completely packed as he watched her put a few loved toys into her backpack. She grabbed her teddybear and her brother handed over her favourite pair of dora the explorer sneakers. She quickly put them on as Alexander shoved some snacks into the backpacks.
"Were gonna trick Mommy okay." Alexander shoved her towards his room. He locked her room and unlocked the playroom door. He dove into his room and locked his door. Unlocking the other door he ran into the hall and locked the playroom door from the outside. They ran into their parents room and locked the door. They grabbed his special envelope and they opened the window. "Alyssa I'll climb down first then you drop me the bags and then you jump down and Ill catch you." He said not losing his cool as he climbed down.
She passed him everything and went falling into his arms. They grabbed the bags and ran for the nearest way to the main road and they made sure they didn't pass the playroom window. They ran off into the night and opened the envelope. They saw the one true place they could go to be safe.
SANCTUARY AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING
Brennan walked outside to get some fresh air when he noticed to bodies were right by the water fountain. He ran over and soon noticed that it was a little boy and girl that were only being warmed by one small thin blanket. He tried to grab the boy but he woke up with his sister and they both started screaming. Lexa and Adam came running out and the kids screamed louder because Lexa was wearing a green expoliation mask. "A MONSTER!" They screamed.
All the sudden Emma and Jesse ran out. Now they had been in the shower when they had heard the commotion so they were only in towels. "AHHHH A NAKED LADY." Screamed Alex. "AHHHH A NAKED MAN." Screamed Alyssa. They were so close to fainting when they heard a loud bang.
"I TRY TO GET ONE HOUR OF SLEEP AND I CAN'T BECAUSE SOMEONE'S SCREAMING." Shalimar says and both kids stare at her.
"Its her." They murmer before they faint.
