Apocalypse
chapter 17


E.L.T. was that going to be the definition of our lives being over with or
not? I decided right then that I wasn't going out that easily. "Adrien we have
to contact those good aliens and see if there's anything we can do to
survive. I  don't know if you can make contact with them or not but I want you to at
least  try to." I told him. "I will attempt it, but I will need your mental
help to  boost my own abilities." He replied. We sat sown on the floor facing
each other  and I closed my eyes I then felt his hands being placed on the sides
of my head.  "Concentrate on my thoughts." He told me. I thought as hard as I
could on his  mind and for an instant it seemed like our minds were as one.
Meanwhile in the  rest of the house the other kids were oblivious to what
Adrien and I were doing  until the house began to shutter. "Oh shit it's an earth
quake!" AJ yelled as he  crawled under the kitchen table dragging his brother
behind him them forcing him  underneath his own body to protect him. The house
shook like crazy just for the  amount of time it took for Adrien to get his
message across. Some of the boys  were running through the house scared to death
that they were about to die from  the shaking when they ran past the room we
were in and stopped to look in and  see the two of us in a glowing white aura.
"What the hell are you guys doing?!"  Gavin yelled. That snapped the two of
us out of the connection and the house  stopped shaking. I fell backwards now
bracing myself up on one arm feeling like  I just ran a nonstop marathon. I was
drained badly of energy. I looked to Adrien  and he was sprawled out on his
back almost unconscious. "Did you get through?" I  asked him. "Yes." He replied
before passing out. "What the fuck was that all  about? Were you two having
cyber sex or some shit?" Gavin asked. "No we were  trying to contact the good
aliens. We have a serious problem to talk about." I  told him and the others
with him. As badly as I needed to tell them I just  didn't have the energy and
strength to at the moment. "Joe please help him to  bed I think he needs to
rest for a while if he feels as weak as I do." I asked  as I used the remainder
of my strength to crawl to the bed in the next room.  Once I was on the bed I
instantly passed out from the strain. Josiah had carried  Adrien to his bed and
laid him down to rest.




I awoke some  time later to feel surprisingly rested. I got out of bed and
walked through the  house to let everyone know we needed to have a meeting asap.
Everyone gathered  in the common room and waited for what I had to say. "Ok
everybody I was looking  through that alien information thing and I found
something in there that is big  big trouble for us and everyone else on Earth. The
monsters plan on killing  every human that they can't catch for food. The file
I found was called E.L.T.  earth life termination. Now Adrien and I were
trying to make contact with the  good aliens earlier when you guys came in and saw
us before we passed out. I'm  not sure if he got throughto them or not but he
said he did." I stated as Adrien  walked in the room rubbing his eyes. "I did
make contact. I only got a brief  message but basically what they told me was
wait, under ground, safety,  avoidance. The message they gave me tells me we
need to find some where deep  under ground to wait so we will be safe. I
believe they want us to hide and wait  until they are ready to initialize their
plans to help." Adrien explained. "Ok  so we need a place under ground to live
right? How about the bunker I found the  hybrid in?" Gavin said. "I am sorry my
friend but I never wish to return to that  place willingly." Adrien told him.
"Yeah Gavin I mean didn't you say that place  was fucked any ways?" AJ said. I
looked at Adam and gave him the evil eye for  cussing in front of the little
guys then told Gavin, "He's right Gavin the  monsters know that the bunker is
there. Plus you said it was destroyed. I don't  think that is a good place for
us to go cus the monsters already know it's  there." "Well what the hell do
you suggest we do?" Gavin said getting rude.  "Well we could go back to the
mine and stay there." I suggested. "All of us  crammed in a tiny room together,
no I don't think so. My vote is to go to the  bunker." Gavin said. "Ok I guess
we all need to decide right now where we are  going. We don't know when the
monsters plan to carry out the E.L.T. so we need  to do it now. Who wants to go
to the mine?" I asked. Almost everyone raised  their hand. "Now who wants to
go to the bunker with me?" Gavin asked. Only  Alicia and Phillip raised their
hands. "You don't want to go to the bunker? You  should know it better than any
one." Gavin said to Adrien. "No I do not. I do  not wish to go back to that
prison for any thing in the world." Adrien replied.  "Ok I guess it's decided
then. We need to start getting ready to leave asap.  Just pack your clothes and
food and stuff like that. Sorry guys the toys and  stuff have to stay here."
I told everyone getting some mad faces over the toys  remark. During the
commotion of every one packing their stuff I got Gavin to the  side to ask him to
reconsider his plans for departing from us. "Dude I sure wish  you'd go with
us. I got a bad feeling about the bunker the monsters have already  been there.
Like I said it's just my opinion but..." I tried to say. "I appreciate  your
point but I think it's best for me to go to the bunker. If Alicia and Phil  want
to join me that's their decision, but I'm going as soon as we're ready." He
said cutting me off. I shook his hand and told him it was good being his friend
 in case we don't see each other after today and I went to pack my stuff.




It took a little time but everyone got their stuff together  and we were
ready to leave for the mine and bunker. Everyone going to the mine  piled their
stuff in the truck and Gavin, Alicia, and Phillip were going to hike  to the
military complex where the bunker is since it's not very far away. I  stopped
Gavin before they left for the bunker and gave him a last few words.  "Dude you
know just incase things don't work out at the bunker you can still  join us at
the mine. Just follow main street until it dead ends then go straight  up into
the hills. If you go about a mile or 2 up into the hills you'll find the
mine entrance. If you do come there just make sure you announce yourselves
before you come in, we don't want to shoot you thinking you're a monster." I  said.
Gavin was glad for the last minute thought and then they were off for the
bunker and the rest of us piled into the truck like sardines in a can and left
for the mine. The trip there in the cramped conditions sucked but we managed
the  15 or so miles back to town. We parked the truck in the old barn where we
stashed the ATV and unloaded it there. "Cool a 4 wheeler can we ride on it?"
Zack said in excitement. "Keep your voice down little dude, and no we can't
just  ride it for the hell of it to have fun on. We need it to haul all this
stuff up  to the mine unless you want to carry it a few miles walking. Plus we
don't have  the spare gas to play on it." I replied quieting him down and
getting some long  faces about the walking part. It took us the better part of 3
hours for everyone  to load their stuff in the ATV and walk up the hills to the
mine entrance. "Ok  everyone stay here and stay quiet Chris, AJ, and I are
going inside to make sure  things are cool." I said before we walked in with guns
ready just incase. "You  see anything Adam?" I asked as we walked in the dark
mine shaft. He shook his  head no. "What about you, you hear or smell
anything?" I asked Chris. He also  shook no. we continued into our little safe room
and it was just as we had left,  aside form the layer of dust on everything.
"Ok everyone its ok you ca come in  now." AJ told them at the entrance. He held
up a lantern and showed them the way  to the safe room where they would be
staying. "Oh my god! Is this it?" Carry was  complaining about the small size of
the room. I backed the ATV in as usual and  we unloaded our belongings and
food into the room. An hour later we had our beds  laid out and our clothes were
tucked away along the walls to make room to walk.  We sat down for a brief
lunch of canned fruit and crackers with peanut butter.  When lunch is over AJ,
Adrien, Josiah, and I were going into the mine a bit  deeper to see what lies
inside it since we had never really explored it much  before.




"Ok everyone keep the noise down while we're gone.  Chris you keep your ears
peeled for noises outside or for us yelling for you.  We'll be back in a
little while." I told the group. The other three boys and I  set off then to go
deeper into the mine than we ever had before. About 200 feet  down into the main
shaft it split off into two directions, left and right. First  we went left
and it led to no where, just a lot of dead ends where the mining  was taking
place. We doubled back to take the right branch and it was a bit more
interesting. We found lots of mining equipment and storage compartments kind of  like
the safe room we were staying in by the entrance. A few of the rooms doors  were
either rusted or jammed shut or they were locked. We managed to get in a  few
and they had a bunch of mining stuff in them. We opened the last door to one
of the storage compartments and AJ spoke up. "Wait a sec there's something on
 the other side of that wall." "Yes I agree I see it to." Adrien said. "What
is  it?" I asked. "It looks like another room or something on the other side
of that  wall." AJ said. I walked over and inspected it and the wall seemed to
be solid  rock to me. I grabbed a sledge hammer and began to whack away at the
wall  getting no where. Josiah walked over and took the hammer from me let
loose that  super strength of his. He smacked the wall two good times opening up
a hole in  the wall. Adam took a flash light and stuck his head in the hole
and looked  around inside. "Wow it's a cave." He said. "Move so I can make the
hole bigger."  Joe said. A few more slid cracks to the stone wall and the hole
was now big  enough for us to step through and into the cave. Josiah and I
could hardly see  anything but AJ and Adrien were marveling at the size of it.
"Wow this is  awesome!" AJ marveled. "What I can't see a damned thing." I said.
"This cave  it's great. We're the first people to ever be in here think about
it, isn't it  cool!?" AJ said happy. We checked the place out and it was a
pretty good sized  naturally formed cave. It had several chambers and the best
thing about it was  it had a hot spring of crystal clear water feeding into a
pool in one of the  chambers. "Wow that's warm!" Josiah said sticking his
fingers in the water. The  water seemed to run from the hot spring and collect into
a large pool that maybe  5 or so of us could fit in and then it drained out
as it over flowed and ran  into a crack or hole in the wall and drained off
into the rocks. It was a great  natural hot tub for us. "You know what guys I
think this place might make a  great place for us to call home." I said thinking
about it. "You are right it  would make an excellent location to block us form
the monsters scanners. And  there is a lot more room in here than there is in
that tiny store room." Adrien  said making some good points. "What do you two
think?" I asked the other two.  Adam looked at his cousin and smiled. "Looks
like this place would be cool t  live in." Josiah said them. Adrien then took
out the alien information device  and scanned the cave making a 3d map of it
and all it's chambers. There was 2  big chambers with a lot of smaller ones
running off of them or connected to them  in some way. "Wow we can make one of
these a sleeping room and the other like  the common room at the orphanage." I
suggested looking at the 3d hologram. "Only  one problem, that big ass wall
that's running half way in the middle of the  sleeping room." AJ pointed out. He
made a valid point, but I believe we could  take care of that. "Adrien does
that thing say if the cave would hole up if we  knocked that wall down so we can
have one big sleeping room?" I asked. He ran  some sort of information into
the device and told us, "Yes I believe it is  structurally sound enough for
your idea." "Ok mister muscles how about you get  that hammer and knock this wall
down." I told Josiah. He smiled and trotted off  to fetch the hammer. The
little guy made short work of that wall taking it out  with little effort. Now we
had one big room for us to sleep in. "Ok guys how  about we call it a day and
go back and let the others know what we found. I  think we could use a little
cleaning up to." I proposed. We agreed and left the  cave for now and went
back to tell everyone else what we  found.




"What was that banging noise? Did you guys hear it?"  Chris asked as soon as
we walked in the room. "Oh, yeah that was us. Guess what  we found?!" I said
in an excited tone. Everyone shrugged their shoulders so I  told them. "We
found a cave, a natural one that was next to the mine. We broke a  hole through a
wall and made an entrance to it. It's great we're going down  there tomorrow
to clean it up a little, and I do mean all of us. It's going to  be our home
while we're here."  We were then bombarded with a hundred  questions all at once
and I tried my best to answer them one at a time. I told  them about the size
of it, about how many chambers there were, about the hot  spring and all the
other little things. Every one was psyched to say the least  about seeing the
cave, but bumbed out about the work that was needed to be done.  Those of us
that went to the cave were now filthy, hungry, and tired after our  day of
exploring so we decided to clean up. I stripped down to my boxers and  waited on
the others to do the same. Once the four of us were only in our under  wear I
asked Carry if it was ok if we went all the way naked, and she didn't  mind. I
wasn't sure if the other guys were ok with it or not but I didn't care  so I
stripped naked and began to wipe my dirty body off with a wet towel before  I
grabbed some munchies. While I was cleaning off I was reading the thoughts of
he twins and needless to say they had dirty things on their minds. Most of
every  one in the room also had some sort of FUN thoughts running through their
minds.  When I was cleaned off I just sat down on my sleeping spot naked and
got some  cheesey crackers and a warm pepsi, I know gross warm, and grubbed that
down for  dinner. When everyone saw me eating of course they got hungry to
and all sorts  of foods were broken out for dinner. Some canned peaches,
spaghetti o's, and  soups were opened up and some ate that, and other like me just
ate something  quick and simple like the cheesey crackers. I laid down once my
tummy was  satisfied and tried to get some rest. Before I knew it I felt my eye
lids  getting heavy and I knew dream land wouldn't be far behind. I didn't
try to  fight the oncoming sleep so I closed my eyes and nity nite I  went.




I woke up again the next day to the sound of my watch  beeping from the alarm
set in it. I sat up and let my body wake up before I  turned the lantern on
low. When I did I saw Adrien still sitting working with  the monsters device.
"You get anything done?" I asked rubbing my eyes. "Yes I  got a lot done look
for your self." He said and tossed me the device. I turned  it on and the
hologram he created for the cave came on online in front of me. It  looked like he
put a whole lot of thought into it. "Dam Adrien you did all this  last night?
Wow looks like you put almost everything in there." I said. He had  plans for
an intruder system, plans for running wires and putting lights up in  the
cave, a way to have electricity in the cave with solar power, and all kinds  of
other neat stuff. "Wow is al I can say. How do you plan we do all of this?' I
asked him. "Well the plans seem more complex than they actually are. Almost
everything we need can be found in either the wal mart or in other buildings in
the town." he replied. "Ok then it seems like you get to be the handy man /
engineer." I said laughing. "Let's get everyone up and motivated so we can get
 to work." I told him. We had everyone awake a short time later and we ate a
quick breakfast. Everyone went outside for their morning pee break and off to
 the cave we went in a large group. Everyone seemed in awe of the discovery
we  had found and liked the fact that the caverns were a bit warmer than the
room we  slept in near the mine entrance. "Wow it's nice in here. Is it always
going to  be this temperature all the time?" Carry asked. "Pretty much, as long
as we keep  the entrance sealed form the rest of the mine." I explained. We
got to work  right away clearing the dangerous rock spike from the floor and
ceiling and  carried the big rock spears out and put them in the mine near the
shaft that  dead ended so they weren't in the way. It took about half the day,
but we got  almost all of the spikes out of the way and the cavern seemed to
be much more  roomy than it was before. We went according to the plans Adrien
had made with  the hologram and designated each room accordingly. one cavern
would be our  kitchen and food storage, one would be a sleeping chamber for
Carry since she  was the only girl and the chamber was so small, the chamber all
the way at the  end of the complex would be our potty room. One chamber would
be our utility  room so to speak. It would have all of the equipment Adrien
planned on building  stored and running in it. And he made two chambers next to
each other separated  by a thin wall a sleeping area for the rest of us. We
would have to take this  wall out and then it would be one big room. The final
big chamber was going to  be our new common area. A chamber where we could have
fun and do what ever came  to mind. Adrien had designed a virtual underground
bunker from a cave. As I  stood and looked around the cave I could see how
everything was going to fall  into place. "This is going to be a good home." I
said to myself. There were a  few small chambers left over that he didn't figure
into his plans. I figured  they could be used as storage, or even for
"private recreational" areas if you  get my meaning.




Days of clearing the caverns and lots of  sore muscles later we were finally
ready to make the move in. We carried  everything from the storage room by the
entrance to the cave only leaving a few  emergency supplies in the safe room
by the entrance. We left some lights, a  first aide kit, and some bottled
water in there just incase. We now had one big  chamber for the boys to all sleep
in we made the whole floor into a temporary be  until we got some things from
town and wal mart to make us a bed. Once we had  our beds set up I asked every
one to come to the common chamber so we could talk  and eat. We all were
tired and aching from the work we have put into our new  home. Most of the boys
were chatting about nothing important, but Adrien had  some hard core things to
talk about. "I have made a list of supplies I will need  to set up everything
the early warning system and power and lighting system. We  will have to
scavenge a lot of wiring from where ever we can. We will also need  some car
batteries to store the power." He explained. "Why do we need batteries  for?" Josiah
asked. "They will be a back up system incase the main system for  power goes
out. I am going to use the monster's information device's power  supply to
operate everything we need." Adrien said. "Is that little thing got  enough balls
to run all of the stuff you are talking about?" I asked him.  "Enough and
then some. This little device is actually a kind of nuclear  generator, but it's
totally safe to us." Adrien said. I couldn't doubt the  hybrid, he was smart
damn smart for being a kid. I couldn't get over all the  plans he has made to
make this place livable for us. "Damn Adrien when have you  had time to make
all these plans and lists?" I asked. "I have been doing it at  night while
everyone slept." He replied. "That explains why you look's so much  more tired than
the rest of us. You have to sleep Adrien. Humans have to sleep  to keep
going. Don't you feel your body and mind feeling out of sorts a bit?" I  asked. "As
a matter of fact I do. I was wondering why I am having a hard time
focusing." He answered. "Come on lets get you cleaned up then you need to sack  out for
a while. If you really want to be human you have to rest." I told him  before
I led him to the hot spring in the cave. I sat the lantern down on the
ground next to the hot spring and told Adrien to undress. As he stripped down I
did as well. When we were naked I stepped in the warm water and sat down in it.
It had a natural bubbling effect like a hot tub and it felt great on a sore
body. The water level came up to about my nipples so it was just right to
relax  in. "Come on in it feels great." I told him. He stepped carefully in and
sat  down next to me and the closed his eyes. I could tell the water was working
its  magic on his sore body. He sat back laying against the rocks behind us
and let  his body soak. "How about a back rub? You look like you could use
one." I asked  him. I had him move over so that he was sitting in front of me with
his back to  me and I began to rub his shoulders. "Dam man you fell so tense.
I can feel  knots in your muscles like crazy." I told him as I worked my
hands on his neck  area. Apparently my hands were working well on his aching body
since he sighed.  I worked his muscles for a while and I could tell he was
getting tired of  sitting upright. I leaned back against the rocks again then
pulled him back so  that he was resting against my chest with his back. "Thank
you Derrik I do feel  better now." He said right before yawning. "Well my friend
we are alone and as  much as I'd like to show you what your dick is really
for, I think we're both  just too tired to really enjoy it. Let's get out and go
get some rest now." I  said giving his limp cock a quick squeeze. "Perhaps
you're right." he yawned  again. We got out of the warm water and dried off in
the dimly lit cool air of  the cave. I figured that the issue of everyone
seeing each other naked would  come up sooner of later so I said what the hell and
we walked naked back to the  common chamber so every one could see. As we
walked in all eyes were on us.  "What? You guys act like you never seen a naked
alien before." I said laughing  at them. "Come on guys we all knew this was
going to come up sooner or later and  like Carry already told me a long time ago
she doesn't really care if any one  sees her naked so there shouldn't be a big
deal with any one being naked when  ever they want." I said. "Actually he's
right I don't really care if any of you  see me. Most of you already have lots
of times, and besides I know I'm not that  great looking so..." Carry said
trailing off. "Basically guys what we're both  saying is clothes are optional. Right
now in my opinion Adrien and I just took a  hot bath and the cool air feels
great so that's why we're naked. If you guys  want to bathe and do the same
it's up to you. Right now our alien friend and I  are going to get some rest.
He's been awake for days now and he needs some sleep  so keep the noise down
please." I said to the rest of the boys. I saw the twins  look at each other and
smile right before their shirts seemed to fly off. The  shorts and undies soon
followed and they took off for the hot spring. Carry  shook her head and said,
"Typical. They would be the first ones." "I don't think  every one can fit at
once in there so why don't half of you go now then the rest  go when they're
done." I suggested. Chris, Josiah, and Nathan jumped up and  stripped down
then and went to the warm pool.




Adrien and I  lay down on the big bed we had made earlier and got as
comfortable as we could  laying on the hard ground with only a few sleeping bags
between us and the rock  floor. I lay there just thinking and relaxing and before I
knew it I heard the  soft sounds of the hybrid breathing as he drifted off to
a much needed rest. I  scooted up behind him and nestled against his back
spooning with him and pulled  a blanket up over us. I closed my eyes then too and
I drifted off to dream land  with him. While I was sleeping in such close
proximity the weirdest thing  happened. I began to dream, but that wasn't the
weird part. I was dreaming but  it was the most vivid life like dream I had ever
had. It felt like I was in a  movie or something. I knew I was dreaming, but
it felt so real at the same time.  The dream its self was of me walking along a
warm white sand beach some where. I  could actually feel the warmth of the
sun of my face as I walked. It truly  looked like paradise to me. I almost
didn't want to wake up. I could hear the  birds singing and the crash of the ocean
breaking on the beach. I kept walking  and loving the feeling of the sun on me
and just the smell of the sea in the  air. All of the sudden I hear out of no
where, "I know you loved this place. I  thought I would allow you to enjoy it
once more." I looked around and couldn't  see any one. The voice sounded
familiar, but being in a dream I couldn't place  it. Just as sudden as I came into
the paradise in the dream it was gone and I  was opening my eyes. "Dammit!" I
thought to myself as I woke up and rubbed my  eyes. I checked my watch and I
had been asleep for nearly 3 hours. I sat up and  stretched and noticed Adrien
was still sleeping. It was a good thing because he  definitely needed the
rest. He has been working harder than any of the rest of  us have been for the
last few days. I looked around the room and noticed a few  of the boys were in
the room playing some board game and it seemed the naked  trend had caught on.
They were sitting on the ground but naked playing the game  and seemed to be
having fun. I stood up and stretched again and the boys noticed  me then. They
started laughing and pointing at me. At first I didn't have a clue  why but
then I looked down. Sure enough I had a steel hard on. "What? Like you  guys
don't wake up with one." I said to them quieting them down. "Don't wake  Adrien
up yet he needs the rest." I also told them. I walked out of the chamber  with
my cock pointing the way and checked out the rest of the cave. Carry was in
her chamber snoozing now and the rest of the boys were still playing in the hot
 spring. It seems that thing is going to be a popular place while we're
staying  in the cave. "You need to go out Lucky?" I said to the dog exciting him.
He got  up and started wagging his tail and whining. "He said yea he needs to
pee bad."  Donny told me. I grabbed a lantern and walked with the dog out to
the entrance  of the mine so we could relieve our bladders. Lucky ran over to
his normal spots  and began to piss away. I just stood there in the cool air
still naked and let  my own piss fly. I looked around at the trees around me and
noticed that the  leaves had already begun to change colors signaling the
onset of colder  temperatures. I let the few last drops of pee drip from my dick
as Lucky found a  spot and squatted down to drop a brown dog bomb on the
ground. Not to be gross  by watching a dog shit it made me think that we needed to
get our own potty  facility in the cave done. I figured that one of those porta
johns I saw at wal  mart for camping would work. We would just have to make
sure the "mess" got  taken outside after some one was done doing their
business. One thing was sure  tomorrow we will be taking a trip to town for a lot of
supplies to get this  place up and running as our home. I called for the dog
after he was done doing  his duty and we went back into the mine and to the
security of the cave.




The rest of the guys were all out of the hot spring now and  in the bed
chamber either playing board games or with the handheld video games.  A few how
ever were now asleep with Adrien. The temp inside the cave was comfy  compared to
the chilly breeze blowing outside. I scanned around the room and I  was
positive now that the clothes optional thing had caught on. All the boys  were
streaking and didn't seem to mind the others seeing them one bit. Seeing  all that
skin was starting to get to me and my dick started to bone up again. As  much
as I wanted to just grab one of those little hotties in there and fuck the
hell out of them I held back and thought of the grossest things I could to make
 my boner go away. "Naked old ladies EWWWW!" I thought to myself and it
seemed to  do the trick. I went back to being limp in no time. I sat down on the
bedding  where I was sleeping earlier and grabbed the alien device and looked
through the  files that were stored in it for a while. As I looked through the
ones Adrien  had put on it I could tell he was a whole lot smarter than any of
us ever  thought. He had detailed descriptions of the things he planned on
doing to the  cave to make it better for us to live in. He had plans for
artificial sunlight  for growing food, lighting so we could see, plans for intruder
alarms, and all  kinds of other things. As I was going through the files I also
found out some  other things about the monsters that invaded earth. They were
highly sensitive  to temperatures below 50 degrees F and temps above 80
degrees F. "Hmm no wonder  they invaded when they did. Late summer to early fall was
perfect for them to  carry out their plans to destroy all of us. The device
also said that most of  their operations would be suspended in areas that
didn't fall into the proper  temperature range for them to operate. I guess they
were cold blooded from what  this thing says about them. They sure do act cold
blooded when they kill every  living thing they see. Since winter would be here
soon I figured that we  wouldn't have much trouble from the monsters because
of the cold. At least that  might be one head ache we don't have to worry
about. I must have been going  through the files late into the night because when
I took a break form it I  noticed almost every one now was asleep. Only little
Justin was still awake  playing a PSP. "Having fun dude?" I asked quietly. He
smiled and nodded. "Ok but  don't stay up playing that thing too late." I
told him before I put the  information device down and laid back down next to
Adrien. I nodded back off to  sleep not to much longer after that and the weird
dreams started again.
