In Too Deep?

Rescue Mission; part 1

Sam's (Dad's) POV

"Ok, so we're leaving at 9:45pm. So we'll need to have everything packed up and ready to go before then. And don't forget to put on your vests! Or to take your immunity potion, who knows what they'll try?" I say, making sure that everyone understood how important this was. If we're going to rescue some random kid who saved us, I guess, we are going to do it safely. I've tried to talk my children out of this, but all I got was a deadly glare and the silent treatment for a whole day, before I gave up.

So here we are, 'gearing' up for a rescue mission. I just hope my kids don't get hurt.... I don't know if I could live through that, I mean I lost my wife and son already, I'm not going to lose my girls too, even if it means I die protecting them.... And if I do die, I don't know why, but I trust Alexander to keep them safe...

Hearing a chorus of 'yeses' and 'kay's,' from Ashtyn, Waverley, Alex, and River, before everyone started clearing out and going to different parts of the house, leaving me alone with Alexander, hmm, probably a good thing too, I need to talk to him.

"Alex, can I talk to you for a minute?" I ask, gripping his shoulder quickly, halting him, before he walked out of the kitchen. Looking confused, he looked at me from over his shoulder as he reluctantly agreed, "umm, sure?" Before turning to face me fully, giving me his undivided attention.

"I just, well, I just want to know before we go blazing in there, that if something happens to me, you'll take care of them for me..." I say seriously, while calculating his expressions.

"I-I, y-yeah, I'll take care of them, but nothing's going to happen to you..." He stutters out, obviously not expecting that, I guess he was expecting the 'hurt her, I'll hurt you' talk, since Waverley and him are dating...

"Good..." I state before walking away, leaving him standing there alone, and shocked. Now, I need to make a few preparations........

Alex's POV

What the hell just happened???

Why is Sam acting like this? Does he know something we don't? Should I tell anyone what just happened? Would they even believe me? No, probably not, Sam would never do that, but if that's the case, does that make me delusional then?

-No that totally just happened....

Ok, so not delusional, but then what just happened? I'm so confused right now😑.... Maybe I should talk to Ash about this? I would talk to Wave, but she's got enough on her plate without this on top of it... Plus, Ash is pretty mature when she needs to be, but I guess that comes hand in hand with her past...

-You talk to Ash, I'll talk to Storm...... But I'll make sure she doesn't tell Waverley, she's stressed enough as it is.

Good thinking! Now where did Ash go?

-Outside, back door...

Damn, how do you know that? WAIT!?! I D-O-N-T want to know! Just, go talk to your girlfriend!!!

-hehe, ok dork....

Hey! Why you little-....... You know what? I'm maturer than this... I won't fall for this, no, nope, not happening! Growling, I stomp towards the back door in search of a certain sister (Ash). Finding her leaning against the house, I slowly walk over towards her, and leaned beside her in silence, before explaining what just took place in the kitchen.

Waverley's POV

Locking the door to my room, I quietly walk over to my white desk, and pulled out one of my many sketch books, shading pencils, a kneaded eraser, and a sharpener, before I went to work drawing. I used to draw all the time, just to clear my mind, so I'm trying it now to see if it still has it's calming effect on me.

Ten minutes later, I've drawn some sort of room, it had a window looking over something in the middle of the room, maybe a table? And on the other side of the window was two soldier like people, but I don't really have a good feeling about them, and some other guy who' space is a blur, being held back by them, what's happening? And a menacing looking nurse/doctor in a white lab coat with dark stains on it?, hovering over the page, almost as if she was leaning over something, why the hell did I draw this? It's creepy as heck....

-Waverley, I think this is a vision...

Huh? What do you mean? I thought I could only get those when I fell asleep?! So not only are they haunting my dreams, but now my head too! Storm, I'm scared....

-Well, my theory is that since you're emotionally connected to Sebastian, more so than most of the others, that you can see what happens to him when he's in danger. And since you've not been sleeping, it's pushed its way into your subconscious, to basically, force you to understand what's happening to him, and what you can do to help him.

But why? We already know where he is, why would it show me this? "Unless....."

-He's in trouble....

"Now...." I whisper finishing part of her unspoken terror filled realization. Widening my eyes, I jump up, and run downstairs screaming my head off, "DAD!!!!" Hearing his, and everyone else's, heavy footsteps thunder towards the stairs, closing in on me at a fast pace, before reaching me, wide eyed, they start firing question after question at me, "are you ok," "what's wrong," "did you see a spider, omg where is it, kill it KILL IT," and "why the hell did you scream?" The last one being the bluntest one in my opinion...

"SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!" I scream, scrunching my eyes closed, as they start to criticize/argue with each other for their, quote, "stupid" questions. Instant silence met my ears, taking a deep breath, I slowly open my eyes to see them staring at me in shock. Hmm, I guess I know why they're shocked, I never scream like this unless if it's important.

"We need to leave now, like right now!" I say slightly calmer than earlier, exercising the last of my patience. "Why? What's going on?" Dad asks, confused, asking the question on everyone's mind. "Sebastian, he's in trouble.... We need to leave NOW! Come on!" I state, running to get my bags that I prepared earlier, as if I somehow knew I would need them sooner rather than later.

"How do you know? Waverley, you need to tell us what's going on!" Dad commanded, grabbing my arm, preventing me from going out the front door. "Storm, she told me, she's my, um, contact? She just knows these things and her and I are good friends..." I stutter out, avoiding telling him that she's a voice in my head.

"Why is this the first I've heard of her then?" dad questioned, damn, we don't have time for this! We need to save Seb now! "Umm, Dad, I love you and all, but we haven't really been on the best of terms for a long while. So why would I let you know who she is? Like seriously, I've never even told you who Zane was... And he was a huge part of my life........." I say awkwardly, before shaking off his hand taking total advantage of his shocked state, and running out to the car, a black jeep, and throwing my bags in the back. Going to the driver's seat, I quickly buckle up and started the engine, honking, I scream, "COME ON MORONS!!!!" with my head sticking out the window.

~~~Time Skip~~~
Alex's POV

We've been in the jeep for about ten minutes and we're already halfway there, out of a 1 hour trip. How we haven't been arrested yet, is beyond me.... But whatever Storm told Waverley, it must be really bad to get her in this state. She keeps nervously glancing at  the clock, before pressing down harder, if that's possible, on the gas pedal. Whatever's happening, it concerning to say the least, I just hope we live to rescue Sebastian...

-Trust her Alex....Storm says she had another vision, but this time it was bad... Something about an evil looking nurse hovering over a table of sorts, with, um, with blood stains on her coat. And since most of her visions are usually seen through his eyes, you can see why she's concerned...

Crap! No wonder she's in a hurry! Now I feel like a total douche...

-Yeah? Well you should! Judging her like that, Mr. Know-it-All.
