It was 2:30 in the morning and Maria still hadn't gone to sleep. She was so tired but she didn't want to have another nightmare. Max had came back to the apartment around midnight. Maria giggled to herself remember when she asked Max what took him so long? Maria looked at Michael who was sleeping next to her. She smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips. Maria couldn't help it anymore, she had to get some sleep. She closed her eye's and let her body fall into dreamland. Maria didn't see a hallway anymore, she just saw blood everywhere. It was all over the place. All over her all over the walls the floor. Maria tried to rub it off but more blood seemed to appear. Maria opened her eye's and gasped. She looked over at the clock it was 3:30. She was sleeping for an hour. Maria sighed and got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. She need some coffee to keep her awake. Maria grabbed some coffee and quietly got a mug. She poured some water in the mug and warmed it up the microwave. Maria was watching the mug in the microwave when someone behind her tapped her shoulder. Maria gasped and turned around. "Max, you scared me." Maria said in a whisper. "Sorry. I didn't mean to." Max said back to her. "Oh my gosh, did I wake you? I'm so sorry." Maria told Max. Max shook his head. "No, I was kinda awake anyway." Max explained to her. "Oh, I can't get to sleep either." Maria told him. "Why are you getting coffee then? Won't that keep you up?" Max asked her. Max looked down at Maria's hand and noticed that it was shaking. "Maria, are you okay?" "Ya, I just had a nightmare. No big deal. I just don't feel like going to sleep." Maria told him. Max gave Maria a look and then nodded his head. "Oh a nightmare. I thought Michael was keeping you up again." Max joked with a smirk on his face. Maria hit Max's shoulder playfully. "Very funny." Maria said as she turned to the microwave and took out the mug. "You know your one to talk, I'm not the one who came back at midnight." Maria said while putting the coffee mix in the hot water. "We were just talking." Max said with a smirk. Maria giggled and patted Max on the back. "Oh, is that what they call it these days?" Maria joked. Max laughed. "Night Max." Maria said before heading back to the bedroom. Max sighed and went back to couch. But then he got that feeling again. That bad feeling that he was talking about before. Max tried to ignore the feeling but it seemed to just get stronger. Max went to Michael bedroom and opened the door. "Michael, Maria get up!" Max yelled. "Max, whats wrong?" Maria asked him getting off the bed. The bad feeling got even stronger. Michael woke up. "Maxwell, whats the problem?" Michael asked him. Max just stood there, trying to shake the feeling away. "Something is going to happen. I can feel it. It's close." Max told them. Michael and Maria looked at each and then at Max. "Max, what are you talking about?" Michael asked finally getting out of his bed. Max looked at Maria and noticed her shaking hand again. Max grabbed Maria's hand. Flash blood, Maria screaming in pain, blood End of Flash Max gasped and fell to the floor. Michael rushed to Max's side. Maria just looked at Max concerned. "Max? Are you okay?" Michael asked him. Max nodded his head and kept looking at Maria. Max got up and walked to Maria. The bad feeling had gone away. "What?" Maria asked Max wondering why he kept looking at her. "I had a flash when I touched your had, Maria. And it wasn't a good one. I saw bad things in it." Max told her. Michael walked up to Max. "What do you mean bad things?" Michael asked him. "I just saw blood and Maria screaming." Max told him. Michael grabbed Maria and looked into her eye's. "Maria has anything happen to you?" Michael asked her. He couldn't have anything happen to Maria. Not when he just got her back. Maria shook her head no. "No, it was just a nightmare. There's on need to get all worried about it." Maria told Michael. "Are you sure?" Michael asked her. "Yes, I'm sure. Ya, they get really freaky sometimes and I don't feel like sleeping. But their just nightmares." Maria told him. Michael looked at Maria and nodded his head. He gave her a kiss on the lips and hugged her. "Sorry, I freaked out like that. It's just that feeling was so strong and then I touched you." Max said. "Maybe I should get some sleep." Max said as he left the room. 'Maybe I should tell them about the nightmares.' Maria thought to herself. 'They are getting pretty bad.' Maria shook her head. 'No, they're just nightmares, just dreams. They aren't real. There's no need to make a big deal out of them.' Maria told herself. "Come on, Maria. Let's get some sleep." Michael told her pulling her to the bed. Michael got under the covers and pulled Maria close to him. He wrapped his arms Maria in a protective way and drifted off to sleep. Maria closed her eye's and drifted off to sleep with Michael. But she didn't have a nightmare this time. She just sleep peacefully in Michael's protective arms. --- Max laid down the couch. He knew Maria wasn't telling them something. But he thought if it was something really that big, she would have told them already. Max sighed to himself. He needed to get some sleep. He was so tired, those feelings that something was going to happen have been getting stronger. He didn't know if they were alien related or not. All he knew was that they were bad. And they all needed to be watch out for anything. Max closed his eye's and drifted off to sleep. TBC
