Amber's POV
—————————————————————
"Well! Didn't know you're own father could "abandon" You?! Huh?!" That voice has came back, it's been in my mind since my father ignored me for the first time! I have tried to tell him about this and I can't he always makes up excuses like "I have a lot of work to do!" Or "we can talk after dinner, I have to talk to the boys about something " or even " No. Lynn. I can't talk right now I'm busy." I just run to Uncle Henry struges or Robert or mom and tell them about the voices and I just train with Uncle Henry until my fists bleed and or I'm about to pass out because of exhaustion but at least i can talk to mom and uncle Henry about this stuff ya know?! I am as of right now talking to Uncle Henry about dad and everything In my best friends room and he says "you know?, there was a test I gave your father when I was training him..." he says looking me in the eye, I feel another pair of eyes on me as Uncle Henry
Earlier that morning at 3:00 Am before the reception:
I woke up again after having another nightmare I walk with my bear that my dad had gotten me when I was born I still have tears in my eyes as I go down stairs and sit In front of father's office door almost crying my self to sleep as I hear:

Him talking to his cabinet members as my father slams his hand on his table in his office as Sitress my best friend comes to see what's wrong I give her a look that says 'I'm okay go home I'll tell you later.' She nods softly and hugs me one last time and goes home
I go to the living area and wait for the men to leave. They leave and I walk to fathers office and he has his door open ( Incase I have a nightmare or one of us can't sleep so we have him to talk to) I walk in to the door frame and he looks up
Lincoln's POV
As the men leave I keep the door open and I sit back at my desk and sigh and continue working and I look up and I see my daughter Amber she looks very very tired, I get up and walk to her, she looks as I hug her she hugs back and starts to break down crying. I feel so bad for not being there when I should've been. She looks up at me the same day she did when she was born and I smile softly and ask " Amber Lynn?" She nods in response "what's wrong?" Then I say "nightmare?" She reply's "mhm.." "want to stay with me here tonight?" I say and she nods softly yawning I pick her up and close the door and put her on the sofa in my office. I grab my jacket and put it over her and she's falling asleep as I move a bit of her hair and kiss her forehead softly she smiles softly in her sleep as I get back to work, but I continue to keep an eye on her just Incase she has another nightmare.
Amber's POV
—————————————————————-
I start to have another Dream and someone is singing but I'm in complete darkness?!  I walk to the voice it's Jessy?! And Sitress?!  I join in as we hold hands and we start to glow?! 
I've been locked in the locker
I was picked last in soccer
And they say that it's all fun
But their fun, it ain't fun, man, I'm done
And I know we're all different
Our beliefs and religions
But I don't see the difference
In me, you
Your, tu
Or moi, vous
So if you've had enough, then
Come to the land of the lost and lonely
Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family
Of freaks like you and me
I know a place where the bruised and broken
Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy
Just freaks like you and me
We are the freaks
I've been kicked down in the dirt
I pretend that it don't hurt
And I know that they're just words
But sticks, stones, they break bones
But just know
We could all be disciples
And we'll write our own Bible
We'll put freaks in the title
It's me, you
Your, tu
And moi, vous
So if you've had enough, then
Come to the land of the lost and lonely
Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family
Of freaks like you and me
I know a place where the bruised and broken
Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy
Just freaks like you and me
We are the freaks
Come to the land of the lost and lonely
Don't be afraid, we'll be one big family
Of freaks like you and me
I know a place where the bruised and broken
Live like the kings and the queens of tragedy
Just freaks like you and me
Come home
Where you can be you, I can be me
We'll never leave, 'cause we are the freaks
Come home
Where you can be you, I can be me
We'll never leave, 'cause we are the freaks
We are the freaks
End Song
As the song ends it turns into a nightmare about dad getting killed by John Wilks Booth?! WHAT?! HOW?!  I shoot up and silently scream "Papa! no!"
Lincoln's POV
   I  look over to Amber and see that she's glowing?! What?! What on earth?! She's glowing gold how?! Then I remembered something, ROBERT! He's coming today! I forgot it's a surprise for the boys and amber.... I see her tossing and turning I get up and walk up to her then I realize this has been the longest time we have been around each other She's now crying she shoots up and silently screams "daddy! No!" I hug her tightly, she hugs back I can tell she doesn't want to let me go, she opens her eyes and looks at me with tears in her eyes " you're alright, I'm right here I promise.... You're safe.... Shh you're okay, you're okay" I say soothing  her trying to calm her down her breathing slows down and I kiss her forehead, she buries her face in my chest still crying a bit. I rub her back. She's calming down and We both fall asleep
Lincoln's Dream
I  can't see it's pitch black but it's not the dream where i get killed it's different  I hear some people singing?  I turn around and see Amber, Mary and Robert facing me and Mary starts

A: Amber Lynn
R: Robert
M: Mary Todd  Lincoln
Two: both Robert and amber
All three:  (amber, Robert and Mary)
AL: Abraham Lincoln
M:So you found a place where the grass is greener
And you jumped the fence to the other side
Is it good?
Are they giving you a world We could never provide?
Well I hope you're proud of your big decision
Yeah, I hope it's all that you want and more
Now you're free from the agonizing life you were living before
And you say what you need to say
So that you get to walk away
It would kill you to have to stay trapped
When you've got something new
Well I'm sorry we've it rough
And I'm sorry we 're enough
Thank God they rescued you (referring to Lincoln's cabinet members)
So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
So you did what you had to do
Good for you
Good for you
R: Does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry?
Do you even care that you might be wrong?
Was it fun?
Well I hope you had a blast while you dragged us along~
A: And you say what you need to say
And you play who you need to play
And if somebody's in your way
Crush them and leave them behind
Two: Well I guess if I'm not of use
Go ahead, you can cut me loose
Go ahead now, I won't mind
M: I'll shut my mouth and I'll let you go
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
M&A: I'll just sit back while you run the show
Is that good for you?
Would that be good for you, you, you?
AL: All I need is some time to think
But the boat is about to sink
Can't erase what I wrote and link
Tell me how could you change the story?
All the words that I can't take back
Like a train coming off the track
'Cause the rails and my bones all crack
I've got to find a way to
Stop it, stop it! Just let me off!
All Three: So you got what you always wanted
So you got your dream come true
Good for you
Good for you, you, you
Got a taste of a life so perfect
Now you say that you're someone new
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
Good for you
So you got what you always wanted
End Dream
