Over the years Entities would go through dimensions and take people to study. When ever they found something new they took it. Weather it be a human or animal, they're all the same to the Entities. The dimensions started to tire from this and the Ip...
I'm running towards an army of these. . . things made out of light. I glance around. All around me are other versions of me and Sean but Sean is on where to be seen. We fight the things for what feels like hours until I strike the last one in the area that seems to kill them. I look around trying to find Sean but nothing. Tim comes up to me smiling.
"We did it Pa! Now we can look for Da!"
I give him a half smile. What the hell's going on? I follow the others back to our camp. It looks like a war camp. Sam comes running up to me and hugs me.
"I can't believe ye killed the last one!"
There's a sudden pang of pain in my chest at the sound of his Irish accent. I smile slightly.
"Yeah, I did."
We walk into the tent and sit down to relax.
"Hey Pa." "Yeah Sam?" "Da made me promise ta tell you somethin' after the war if he wasn't back yet." "What is it?" "He. . . . . He was . . . . . . pregnant."
"What?!?!" Me and Tim say in sync. "He and I wanted ta keep it a secret till he was ready to tell ya."
"Why didn't he tell me himself?"
"He was worried."
"About what? That I'd freak out? That I'd put him relax only terms? That the same thing as last time would happen?!"
"YES! That's EXACTLY what he thought would happen. And even then I had to pry the answers from him when he was only about a month in!!" "Wait, you knew from when he was a month?" "YES! I swear to the mother of god that I wanted to tell you but I promised to keep it a secret so he wouldn't freak out around us any more than he already did!"
I put my face in my hands and let out an annoyed sigh.
"Why wouldn't he tell me this?" I whisper to myself.
Worry hits me like a water balloon when I realize that Tim had said 'Now we can look for Da!' Shit!
"Ok, for a minute act like I've only been here for a few hours and I know nothing of what happened before the fight we just went through and tell me what happened to Sean."
They stiffen as if I haven't said his name in days.
"Well, about 6 and a half days ago Da went out to hunt and when he didn't come back in an hour like he said we went to look for him. When we found him the Entities had him and were touching through him as he tried to scream but to no avail. You went full honey badger on the Entities that surrounded him and killed them but the last one opened a portal and took him." Tim says as if he's reading a story.
I feel guilty all of the sudden. Was I the reason he was taken? I head out of the tent to clear my thoughts. Tim comes out behind me. I look up at the tree tops and see a stack of smoke from a camp fire.
"Tim, do you see that smoke?" "Yeah but we don't have any lookouts in that area." "Let's check it out."
I grab a hand gun and Tim a shot gun and we head to the smoke. When we get close to the smoke it's already dark. I decide to call out to what ever is there.
"Is someone there?"
"Dad, what are you doing?" Tim whispers to me. "Trying to see if a human is out here." I whisper back.
We come to a clearing and on the other side is a make-shift basket made out of tree branches. Inside are two little babies. They look about half a month old. Where's the thing that takes care of them? We stand by the fire to see if there's any other sign of people out here. I go underneath a tree that looks like someone's climbed up and down it. I study it a moment before someone drops down on me. They throw my gun to the side and put a pocketknife to my throat. They seem to study my face before speaking.
"MARK?!?!"
I know that voice anywhere.
"Sean?!" I say looking up at him.
He looks at me a moment and then tears start to pour out of his eyes. He falls to the ground next to me and curls into a ball crying. I get up and pull him into my arms. I hug him tightly as he breaks down into a crying mess. I start to calm him as he clings to me.

My eyes shoot open and the first thing I see is Jack's green hair. We're in bed at home. Thank god that was a dream.
Jack's Dream~
I'm sitting in a lawn chair on our back porch. I look to be about 8 months but I'm only 4. I look into the woods behind our house and there stands a wolf with glowing red eyes. As I look at it the eyes change to one blue and one with green around the blue like Anti. It howls and charges towards me. I can't move. It gets to me and halts to a stop.
"I'll make you suffer."
It jumps on me and starts to shred me apart. I feel the blood coming out of my body. The wolf shreds my stomach open and I can hear it eating my babies as I slowly die. It starts to tear me limb from limb. It rips my throat out but I'm still breathing. It starts to eat me as my heartbeat slows. All I see is blood and fur. I close my eyes asking, begging for this to be over.
~<>~Back to reality~<>~
I shoot up from my nightmare with a ringing in my ears as I fall to the floor in pain. One of my eyes is going all like static as I yell out in pain. Mark gets out of bed and runs over to me as the ringing takes control. The ringing drowns out everything as I go still, trying to hear the voice within.
