Dusty hugged her tightly.
Ramble surveyed them for a moment before adressing Alley. "What happened to you?" he asked, not meaning to sound as harsh as he did. He didn't mean why was she so timid... he meant why was she hysterical!
"Ramble! Just zip it okay!" she spat at her brother, before sighing and giving Alley a squeeze.

Alley looked at Ramble with a glare for even asking the question. She wasn't gonna tell him why she was hysterical he'd just have to figure that out himself. She buried her head into Dusty crying silently.

He held up his hands. "jeez! I'm sorry! Can't i do anything right?"
"You tell me! Just be nice to her okay!" she lay her head ontop of Alley's and sighed, gently stroking her hair. "Its okay Alley just ignore the mean little boy..."
Ramble rolled his eyes. "Thanks Bex... i love you to.."

Alley was trying to ignore him but it wasn't that easy. Exspecially when she was scared. She was glad however to be inside. Not to calming down and not freakin' out about Dusty's brother being there was the next step.

"OH just shuddup!" Dusty hissed at him, all she was trying to do was calm her friend down, but Ramble was making this obnoxiously hard for her.
Ramble sat back and surveyed them for a moment before getting up and walking up the stairs, leaving the two of them alone for a while. He didn't want to get to envovled.
"Its okay... he's gone now Al..." she whispered carefully to the frightened girl cuddled up next to her. She gently rubbed her back, trying to release the tension there.

Alley calmed a bit and fell into a fitfull sleep. A dream took her back to another night of horror and another birthday. A birthday when everything fell apart before her eyes again.
"Jackson leave her alone"
"Page, Looks like your in luck little puppet. YOu might mean somethin' to him after all."
"Jackson stop it!"
Alley lay shaking on the ground forced there by two of Jackson's men. She was bleeding badly from his beating. Before Page had showed up.
Page picked her up cuddling her. "Everything will be alright now Tru everything."
She buried her head into him, but it hadn't lasted long before they were engaged in a battle.
Page went down mortally wounded.
"Page!!!!!"
Jackson turned on her grabing her and throwing her to the ground. His men looking on in delight. She struggled against him as she felt his blade go deep into her chest. She gasped and struggled managing for a moment to get him off her.
"I don' think so you spec of dirt. worthless that's what you are. Save to satisfy anothers pleasure." He ripped off her shirt sticking his hand up her skirt. He wen down on her and she screamed but it was muffled as he stabbed her yet again.
She took out the one thing she had never wanted to use. She held it up as he came down on her again. he went into his chest pircing she figured his heart because he rolled off of her gasping for air and died moments later. Some of his men ran but others tired to go for her. She had killed them as well in a blind sort of well she never had put her finger on it.
runing to page she collapsed next to him. "dear god please don't take him form me. haven't you taken enough." She sobbed as his hand touched her check whipping hte tears away.
"little kitten do not worry. Do not grieve too long. You'll alway have me. He touched her heart and then handed his blood stained dagger to her. She took it and felt him take his last breath before she passed out herself.
Alley tossed as she dreamt. "Page Page please god no. no." she was eight she couldn't have stopped it but she still felt responsible for his death. "Page..." Tears filled her eyes and began to fall as she tossed.

"Alley!" Dusty squeeled, shaking her friend, trying desperatly to wake her up. "ALLEY STOP IT!" she cried as Ramble came running into the room, his arms full of blankets. Dusty began to cry, she didn't know what to do... she was confused and scared, she wanted to help Alley, but how could she if she couldn't help herself?

Alley woke suddenly breathing heavy. "Dusty Dusty don't cry. I'm sorry I'm sorry. i was...." She was crying harder now then when she was asleep. She hugged Dusty close. "I'm sorry." She looked over a Ramble still scared of him but she was at a lose she didn't know what to do. It seemed as neigther her or Dusty knew what to do. "I should just...."

Dusty sobbed, pulling Alley into a tight hug yet again. "No! I'm sorry... i want to help you out so badly that i just..." she sighed and looked at her brother. "Ramble... i think we need some... time okay?"
Ramble nodded and with a shrug, headed off towards the door and down the street.
Once she was sure he was gone Dusty smiled at Alley and stood up, wipping her tears away with her thumb. "Well... he's not gunna be buggin us for a while!" she said, trying to lighten the mood, but making herself noticably more uncomfortable.

Alley looked down. "I'm sorry. That's dream i..i have alot. I can't stop it." She sighed not knowing what to do at a totally lose for words and just about anything else. She whipped her tears away. And just looked at Dusty. She started getting the thoughts again the ones that made her doubt her worth and just about everything else. She pushed them away curling up. "I...I hate this. I hate showing weakness. I..." The fact she was raised Brooklyn was why she hated showing weakness. The was she was talking now wasn't her normal Brooklyn accent either. It was highsociety with a hint of spanish. That happened when she was scared and confused and just at random sometimes when she was serious.

Dusty took Alley's hand and sighed. "Its okay... just remember, your with people who love you now..." she cooed. She, as well, had dropped her accent by now and used the proper english she had been taught, the slight italian accent becoming more and more noticable as she spoke. "It's all over... and i'm gunna help you get through it okay?" she gave Alley a desperate sort of look as she crossed her legs on the couch and turned towards her.

Alley turned so she was facing Dusty and leaned over and just hugged her not letting go. The dream had shaken her up more the usual this time. And she was deathly afraid that something bad would happen to Dusty and she didn't want it too. She silently started crying.

Alley nodded a serious look in her eyes. She wanted help and she needed to be helped she knew that much. She was just well never one to ask. Who could she ask really. But now there was Dusty. Pages, her mother and father and greatgrandmothers words rang through her head. Everything will be alright.
