Together they could not convince white to give holiday a whole week off because something could happen but she could have one day off at a time until something did happen or until she was needed, which was not much different from normal she just was not aloud to spend her spare time finishing reports or monitoring rex.

Six and rex were given the same thing under the condition that they watch holiday and make sure she relaxed and didn't work, but rex would leave to go fight evos so it was mostly holiday and six.

Holiday could have stayed with her parents and Beverly but decided that would also be stressful, they would ask questions that she didn't want to answer and probably bother six as well so instead she requested to take Beverly on a trip. They planned for three days because that's the longest they've gone with out something important happening even though she was supposed to get a week off.

They rented a motel room on the coast of California, the beaches would be fun for Beverly and maybe help holiday relax. She kind of wanted to take samples from some mutated redwood trees but six caught doing this and stopped her. " you said we were just going for a walk." He raised an eyebrow at her.

She sighed. " I know but these evos are not dangerous enough for providence to deal with, and even normal red woods are fascinating. They.. " she trailed off six didn't have to say anything else, she put her stuff back in her bag and they started walking again, it was still early morning. Beverly was with them but she was distracted by the huge trees and over all old, mythical feel to the place. " it's so pretty here. " she smiled at holiday who smiled back. " stay closer to us ok." The trails were clearly marked but that didn't mean much when the trees, or who knows what else could grab you. But for the most part it was unevent full.

They stopped for coffee at a little shop. Rex had managed to join them so he and Beverly sat at a different table They wanted to be outside and smell the ocean sent in the air. And talk with out the adults watching them, mostly because they were talking about them.

Inside holiday and six were quiet, she sat opposite of him at a small two person table in the little shop. It was mostly empty. She drank her coffee while trying to think of something to say.

It was six who broke the silence. " you didn't sleep walk last night, but you were shaking. And you kicked me." Holiday was embarrassed " sorry. I'm still having the same dream." He put his hand on here she let go of the cup and held his hand instead. " I tried ignoring it, that didn't work. So I tried analyzing it. But I don't understand it. Most of the things in it shouldn't bother me. But I wake up feeling sick, and not like my self." Six could relate he had done a lot and seen a lot in his life, he could not remember how many people he killed or monsters he fought. But holiday was different she was a better person than him, a good person. She should not have images haunting her when she closed her eyes or hear a victims last words, or be scared that she might not be good. Because holiday was good, one of the best people six knew despite their line of work. " is there anything I can do?' He squeezed her hand tighter and she did the same in response. She was scared to let go. " just being here is helping. " she smiled.

She changed the topic, six listened to every thing she said but only responded if he had to. Eventually the two teens came back in. " can we go to the beach now?" Beverly asked, both were smiling and happy, they were young enough to still push the weight of the world off there shoulders.

They agree and drive to the beach in a car they rented for the next three days, the sun was higher in the sky now so there were more people on the beach and less fog than there would be in the morning it was bright, sunny and welcoming. There were no nightmares here just the sun, and the sound of the ocean, no one thinking about the talk rocky cliffs on either side or what darkness might be hiding just below the water.

Holiday took the opertunety to show rex the tide pools, he had seen them before when he snuck away but this was more of a lesson than a ' let's look at some fish' type thing.

Then rex and Beverly went to play in the water and climb on the rocks while holiday sat on the beach with six. The ocean has a relaxing but energizing effect on most people and holiday was not an exception to that rule. She was smiling for the first time since the dreams started.

It didn't last long, she thought for sure she heard someone calling her name, a voice she didn't know which then laughed. She refused to react no one else seemed to hear it. Six noticed that she had stopped smiling and held her hand again.

She looked at him, smiled again but only for a second. She leaned on him and he put his arm around her. She felt tired suddenly. Didn't she just drink coffee? More voices no it was the wind.

Both a two teens made there way back to six and holiday. They were laughing covered in water with sand stuck to there legs and feet. " we're hungry." Rex said. " can we get something to eat and come back?" Beverly smiled. " or go to the mall here, I want to get something to remember this trip by. " rex turned to her " yeah, maybe I should try that too. Them maybe I don't forget next time I black out."

It was not very scientific but she was not going to say no. She looked at six. " tired of sitting here yet?" He stood up then helped her up. They all brushed the sand off themselves before getting in the car, rex and Beverly put clothes on over their swim suits, After they were dry enough to and got in the car.

Six drove holiday stared out the window. Neither of them talked but rex and Beverly were happily chatting in the back seat. They never hung out so they had a lot to catch up on.

The trip to the mall consisted of rex being unable to pick one thing so he bought a lot, Beverly buying a was shell necklace and holiday buying some clothes. Six didn't like shopping so he just followed them around and worried the security guards.

It was late when they got back to the motel but the kids were not tired and the pool was not closed so they took a room key and left the room to swim. Holiday had not heard anymore voices and convinced herself it was the wind. She went in the bath room to take her hair down and get ready for bed but when she looked in the mirror it was not her face looking back.

She screamed, there was a sound of glass braking sixpushed the door open. " what... why did you scream." Holiday was staring at her now normal reflection. In the broken mirror "I must be losing my mind. " that thought terrified her, what else would she have if not her mind. She was shaking. Six pulled her close to him not sure what else to do or really even sure what was going on. " what happened." He didn't like asking twice. " the mirror i.. I didn't see my reflection, it was something else. Six, I'm scared what if something is wrong with me, what if I can't go back to work or I hurt someone. " he didn't have the answers so he kept holding her, he took her hair down. " you should sleep. " she didn't want to sleep anymore, she was afraid of the feeling she got from the dream. But she was tired so she did as she was told. The others came back just after this, six was laying in bed with holiday so she would fall asleep. They didn't ask what happened to the mirror. Because holiday did not allow rex to share a bed with Beverly, rex had been sleeping in a chair. The room only had two beds, but the chair was big enough to sleep in.

athors note: rex sleeping in a chair is based off when i go to cons my friend once shared a room with us, he was the only boy and all of us girls claimed the beds so he slept in a chair. also the next few chapters will take a whike to publish becausr im rewriting them. im changing the stoey to be more hurt/comfort. dont worry things wont be this peaceful for much longer, unfortunetly im not sure how to keep including holix in the rest of the story but ill think of something.
