~~~Nightmare~~~
I open my eyes to see that I'm sitting in a poorly lit room. I try to move but realize that I'm chained to the wall. I hear footsteps approaching the door. I hear the jingle of keys and the click of the lock. The door opens to reveal a man who I had never seen before. 'what?' I thought to myself. I see he has someone in handcuffs with some kind of collar on. I can't see their face very well though. "Hello Cortney." How does he know my name? Who is he? "This is how we are going to do things. I will ask you questions and you will give me answers. If you don't then I will have no choice but to hurt Andy here." He says. I can now fully see the room because he had turned on a light. I gasped when I saw him. "No don't hurt him!" "I won't if you tell me what I need to know." He says. He proceedes to interrogate me and I reluctantly answer his questions. He then asks me a certain question that I had promised never to tell anyone. I refuse to tell him and he starts getting impatient each time I refuse. "I guess I have no other choice." He presses a button on a device he has in his hand with makes the collar Andy is wearing shock him. He lets out a scream of pain. I try to run to him but get stopped by the chains. "Andy!" I scream. This goes on for a while longer each time I refuse he hurts Andy but each time Andy tells me not to tell him. He finally gives up, punches Andy one last time and leaves the room locking the door. "Now you get to watch him suffer." He says coldly and leaves. "Andy!" Tears start streaming down my face. I watch as he lays there on the ground bruised and bloody. He looks at me and smiles telling me everything will be alright.
~~~End of Nightmare~~~
I feel someone gently shake my body. I open my eyes but I can barely see since it's still dark outside. When my eyes adjust I see Andy. I hug him tight. "Whoa what's wrong?" He asks quietly. "I had an awful dream." I say. "Come on we have to go." Andy says. "Where are we going?" I ask. "To my uncle's house." He says. I nod and put on my shoes and grab my hoodie but I don't put it on.
We get to the town pretty easily. I keep thinking about the nightmare I had. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Andy broke a few parking meteors which scared me a bit so I jumped. "Andy! You scared me!" I say and hit his arm. "Ow! Sorry!" He apologized and rubbed his arm which made me giggle a little. We got a taxi that took us to our destination.
"I don't know if this is inappropriate to ask but, were you fighting the police?" The boy asked. "Yes that's very inappropriate!" His dad said immediately after. "No it's wasn't like that. We were just running." Lauren said to their cousin. "Why don't you guys go play some video games or something?" His dad said. We all went up to the boy's room. Him and Andy were playing video games while me and Lauren were laying on the bed. She was on Instagram and I was watching the boys play.
"So can you like, destroy a skyscraper?" "Uh, I don't know, probably not." "What about a jumbo jet?" "Why would I want to destroy a jumbo jet?" "Well if it's attacking you!" "With what, luggage? Jumbo jets don't have wepons." I listen as they talk back and forth. Their game ends and the boy stands up and grabs one of his trophies. "Come on. Here destroy this." He says as he places the trophy on the table where they had set their controllers. "I can't do it all the time." "You can't do it at all." Lauren says. Andy scoffs. "Go back to instastalking Jack." He retorted and Lauren rolls her eyes. "Oh my god." She says. "What, what is it?" Andy asks standing up. She hides the screen so he can't see it. "Nothing." She says. "Let me see." He says. She hesitantly shows him the screen. There's a picture of there house with graffiti all over it. Andy starts getting mad. "That's our house." Lauren tries to calm him down but it doesn't work. The table starts to shake and everything on it flies off the table. Something hit the statue and caused a huge dent in it. I duck my head a bit as something comes flying at me but it doesn't help because I just got hit in the head anyway. "Ow!" I say and put my hand on my head. Kate opens the door. "Are you guys ok?" She asks. "Yeah just these to going WWE on each other." Says gesturing to the two boys. "Alright I just came to check on you." They exchange a few words before Kate closes the door and goes back down stairs. "Are you ok Cortney?" Andy asks and sits next to me. "Yeah I'll be fine." I say to hopefully calm him down. It seams to work. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." He says and hugs me. "I know Andy. It's ok." I giggle slightly at him overreacting.
~~~time skip~~~
I lay in the dark for a while until I actually go to sleep.
Kate's P.O.V
I decided to sleep on the couch. I kept a knife with me just in case. I feel someone touch my shoulder. I wake up and point the knife at them only to see that it was just John and Marcos. I stand up and put the knife on the couch. "What are you guys doing here?" I whisper so that I don't wake anyone up. "We came to get you." "What's going on here? Kate who are these people?" My brother asks grabbing the knife. "It's ok. They're the ones who have been helping us."
Cortney's P.O.V
The rest of us wake up and hear people talking down stairs so we go down stairs. I almost trip on one of the steps and quickly hold onto Andy's shoulder for stability which causes him to look at me. "You ok?" He asks. "Ya sorry, I tripped." I say awkwardly. "It's ok. Just be careful, I don't want you to get hurt. Not after what happened yesterday..." He trails off. I smile to try to make him feel better.
We go down stairs and see a bunch of guys outside and one has a gun. I get kinda scared and I think Andy noticed because he grabbed my hand. We stand there and listen to threats being made on the other side of the door. "Come on out and no one has to get hurt." The man with the gun says. Andy let's go of my hand and stands in front of the door and breaks it causing bits of wood to go flying everywhere also knocking the guy backwards. He quickly got to his feet and grabbed his gun. Marcos shot light rays at the gun making it heat up and the man drop it. "Leave it." Marcos said to the man. We all run to the car and get in and quickly drive away. The other guys pile into a truck and speed after us. Since we're going so fast I get jerked around a lot. I bump Andy a few times so he wrapped his arms around me causing me to blush.
Sonya's P.O.V
I rush to Clarice after hearing that John and the others need help. "Clarice! John needs help. Can you make a portal?" I ask. She says that she can't so I'm forced to use my powers to give her a memory of me and John. "What happened?" She asked. "John is in trouble and needs your help." I say. "Why did you say so let's go." She says and runs out to the road.
John's P.O.V
I'm still driving while still being shot at. I see a portal appear not to far in front of us. I smile as we go through the portal.
Cortney's P.O.V
We go through a portal that takes us back to the MU headquarters. We all get out, Me, Lauren and Andy go inside. Andy grabs my arm and drags me to an empty room. "Andy what the hell?" "Tell me what's wrong." He says in a serious tone. "What?" "I know something is wrong. Please, tell me." He says but this time a little softer. I sigh. "Fine. I had a nightmare a couple nights ago when we left then I had another one last night. I just can't stop thinking about them." I say. "What were they about?" "The first one I was chained up and this guy I've never seen before hurts you and leaves you for me to watch you suffer and last night the same guy was going to kill me but you jumped in the way and-" I cut myself off as I feel tears well up in my eyes. "Hey hey, it's ok. Don't cry." He says and pulls me into a hug. "I'm sorry I just-" "shhh it's ok. It was just a bad dream. It wasn't real." He says in a soft tone. I can't help but sob a bit as I recall the horrible dream. He strokes my hair and rests his chin on the top of my head trying to comfort me. "It's ok. I'm here for you whenever you need it."
