I woke up to almost taking Yang's head off again. Jeez, I'm glad she's got good reflexes.

"Sorry!" I panicked.

"It's ok Alex." Yang frowned, "They aren't getting any better are they?"

"No," I admitted, "But I'll live."

"I might not if you keep it up." She joked.

I laughed, "Maybe you should just let me sleep then."

We laughed then I started to smell pancakes.

"MMMMM." I licked my lips, "Food."

Yang ruffled my hair, "Easy there wolfy. Food will be ready soon."

I scratched the back of my head and smiled as she left me to get dressed. I was about to take my shirt off when a raspy male voice rang through my head.

"Find Grant!" it said.

I remembered what Axel had said so I just pretended I couldn't hear it and got dressed. Though I am a little surprised It didn't shock me as much. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

After breakfast, we all decided to go to the beach together, even Taiyang wanted to come, though he left earlier to get set up.

"C'mon Weiss!" Ruby groaned, "Just ride with me once."

"No." Weiss replied simply.

"Alex," Ruby said, "Can't you do something?"

"Why me?"

"She always wants to ride with you." She stated.

I turned to Weiss who blushed lightly at Ruby's comment, "No matter what we say is going to convince you, is it?" I asked.

She shook her head.

So, like and loyal teammate, I picked Weiss up by the waist and put her on the back of Ruby's bike.

"Fine," she grumbled, "Just this once."

Ruby smiled, "Thanks Alex!" she said as we all hopped on our bikes and rode off.

When we got to the beach Taiyang had set up an awesome home base for the day, complete with a BBQ, chairs and lots of water.

Today, it was easy to get Weiss in the water, probably because she didn't feel like being dropped into the drink through a portal again.

The day was filled with games, water wars and hotdogs. Yep, It was a really good day, I wish it was like this everyday. However, all good thing must come to an end. I did get Weiss on Ruby's bike again though which made her happy.

As we were riding down the road the voice from this morning returned and started to talk to me again.

"You need to find Grant." It said. "Just listen to me!"

I smacked the side of my head and whispered under my breath, "Shut up!"

It repeated the same words, getting louder and louder in my ears the more I ignored it. Half way down the road, the voice let out a loud, terrifying screech. It rang through my ears like I had a coach's whistle go off right in front of them.

Without thinking, I screamed in pain, clamping my hands over my ears, losing control of the bike. I crashed head first into a tree, losing consciousness.

I found myself back in limbo but right in front of the dark area. The dark figure was staring at me with his one green eye. For some reason I couldn't see the rest of him. It didn't really matter though, he wanted me to destroy everything.

"No," It said, "The monster is lying to you."

"I didn't say anything." I said

"No, but you thought it." The figure analyzed.

"You can read my mind!" I gasped, "That's so cool!"

"I know, right!" For a moment, it sounded human.

"How do you do that?" I asked curiously.

"Never mind that," it said, "You need to listen to me."

I crossed my arms, "What is it." I asked suspiciously.

"You need to find your brother."

"I don't have a brother."

"You do," it told me, "You just don't remember, neither does he. He was cast into this world the same as you, thirteen years ago."

"I don't-" I thought about it for a moment then remembered the dream I had right before my birthday, "Was that him?" I asked, finding that explaining my thoughts was pointless.

The creature nodded...I think.

"Then he's like twenty-something years old now!"

"He is, or was. When you got here, his clock turned backwards, he is now your age." it explained, "He has no memory of growing up for those extra five years."

"How do I know this isn't some dirty trick?"

"You don't."

"Real assuring."

"Sorry about your head." it said, "I had to get you to listen to me."

I felt my forehead, it was coated in red liquid that dripped down my face.

"You're waking up!" the creature said, it's eye widened. "Tell your friends where you're really from, they can help! Don't tell them about me unless you absolutely need to."

The vision faded.

"Alex!" a girl's voice echoed in my ears.

My head was in excruciating pain and my brain felt frazzled. All the sounds just went in one ear, and out the other. Is it too much to ask for a week without me getting hurt!? Is it?!!

I heard the faint sound of footsteps on a pickup truck. My aching head was placed on something warm, something familiar. Motorcycles echoed and I managed to open my eyes. My vision was a little blurry but I could see a whitish blue blob over me.

"Weiss?" I asked quietly, then blacked out again.
