Disclaimer: I only own Brenda and Tristian. Nothing else belongs to me.

Jack once again found himself running through a large maize and being chased by Brenda Harlow, with a large knife. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, but Brenda was just merely inches behind him.

"Ha Ha, I'm going to get you!" Brenda evilly shouted.

"Go away! Leave me alone!" Jack shouted.

Jack then heard a voice speak to him. It was the voice of his mother, Haley. She was guiding him out of the maize and into safety.

"Jack, it's going to be okay." Haley said.

"But she's getting closer!" A frightened Jack said.

"Don't worry. I'll hold her off." Came another voice. This voice belonged to Tristian.

Just then, Jack saw a bright light just up ahead from him.

"Mommy, there's a light. What should I do?" Jack asked.

"Run towards it, Jack and you'll be safe. The light cannot hurt you." Haley said.

"Will you stay with me?" Jack asked.

"I'll be right beside you."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

Jack then saw Brenda fall to the ground. She was struggling to get up, but Tristian was holding her down.

"Get off me! You ungrateful bastard!" Brenda angrily shouted.

"Go Jack! Run! I don't know how much longer I can hold her!" Tristian shouted.

Jack began to run towards the light, and as she had promised, Haley was right beside him. He wanted to look back, but was afraid if he did, then Brenda would get him. Within no time, he had reached the light and was safely standing outside the maize.

"Mommy, I made it! I'm out now!" Jack gleefully shouted as he hugged Haley.

"You sure did, sweetie." Haley said with a smile.

"What about Tristian? Is he going to be okay?" Jack asked worried.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Haley said, reassuring her son.

A few moments later, Tristian calmly and casually steps out of the maize. He is brushing dirt off his shirt and pants.

"That woman sure does put up one hell of a fight. Oh sorry, Jack. I forgot you were here. I need to watch my language." Tristian said.

Jack rushed over to Tristian and wrapped his little arms around his waist.

"You made it out of the maize too!" Jack gleefully shouted.

"Yep I sure did." Tristian said with a smile.

Haley and Tristian then turned to the maize and each waved a hand across it. They then looked at each other with looks of triumphs on their faces.

"There. She won't be getting out of there." Tristian said.

"Why can't she get out?" Jack asked.

"Tristian and I placed a force field around the entire maize." Haley said.

"What's a force field?" Jack asked, clearly confused.

"It's an invisible shield that surrounds the entire area. Nobody goes in and nobody goes out."Haley said.

"That means she'll be in there forever. And she'll never bother you in your dreams again." Tristian said.

"I like the sound of that."Jack said with a smile.

A loud sound came out of nowhere. What he saw next, frightening Jack. Brenda was standing right in front of him, pounding her fists on the invisible force field. She appeared to be even angrier than before.

"Mommy!" Jack shouted as he rushed over to Haley and hid behind her.

"It's okay sweetie. She can't get out." Haley said as she comforted her son.

Tristian then walked over to where his mother was and began to shout at her.

"Go away, hag! You're not getting out! So you might as well give up!"

"I'm your mother! How could you do this to me?!"

"You stopped being my mother, the second you murdered me!" Tristian shouted.

"Patrick's the one who murdered you! It wasn't me! Please let me out!" Brenda begged.

"No! You drove him to murder me! He would have never done that, if you hadn't of forced him too!"

"Please Tristian! Please let me out of here!"

"Sorry, not going to happen." Tristian said.

"I'll find a way out of here! You just watch! I will!" Brenda said she began to run throughout the maize.

"Don't tire yourself out! We wouldn't want that to happen!" Tristian shouted sarcastically.

Both Tristian and Haley turned to Jack and smiled. He smiled back at them.

"Well, Jack. I guess this is it." Tristian said.

"You're leaving me?" Jack asked, sadly.

"We have to sweetie, but if you ever need us, just think of us and we'll be there." Haley said.

"Yeah, we'll be there in a flash." Tristian said.

"You promise?" Jack asked.

"We promise." Haley and Tristian said in unison

"Okay." Jack said as he smiled.

Haley and Tristian then vanished, but a few moments later, they returned.

"You missed us, already?" Tristian asked with a smile.

"I was just seeing if it would really work and yeah I was missing you."

Jack then woke up and happily ran out of his room. It was only 5:30, Saturday morning, but Jack was too excited to go back to sleep. He rushed into another room and jumped on a bed, where his sleeping father, lay.

"Daddy, wake up!"

Hotch quickly sat up and was now fully awake.

"Something wrong, buddy?" He asked, worried.

"You remember that nightmare I had once? The one where I was being chased by Miss Harlow." Jack said.

"Yeah I remember? Why, did you have it again?" Hotch asked.

"Yeah, but I finally got away and guess who helped me!"

"Who?" Hotch asked.

"Mommy and Tristian helped me! And guess what else! Miss Harlow will never bother me in my dreams again! You know why?"

"Why?" Hotch asked.

"Because mommy and Tristian put a force field around the maize. Miss Harlow will be trapped in there forever!" Jack excitedly said.

"That's great buddy!" Hotch said as he smiled at his son. He then looked at the clock and noticed it said 5:35 am.

"Well since we're both up. How about we go get some breakfast? Anything you'd like to eat?"

Jack thought for a few moments before answering.

"Can we have chocolate chip waffles with marshmallows and chocolate sauce?"

"Sure buddy, let's go." Hotch said as he carried his son out of the room and into the kitchen.

About forty minutes later, as the sun is finally starting to rise, Jack and Hotch are sitting at their kitchen table, eating waffles. Hotch has already started on his third waffle and Jack is just now finishing his first one.

"Daddy, can I have another one, please?" Jack asked.

"Sure buddy." Hotch said as he placed a waffle onto his son's plate.

"Thank you." Jack said.

"You're welcome." Hotch said.

The next few moments were silent. The sounds that could be heard were the birds chirping outside and the sound of the radio playing on the counter.

"When do you go back to work, daddy?" Jack asked.

"Monday, why? Have you changed your mind about me going back? Because if you have, then I won't go back." Hotch said.

"No, I still want you to go back. Aunt Jessica's still going to take care of me, right?" Jack asked a bit worried.

"She said she would." Hotch said.

"Okay, good."

"You want to go to the park, later today? I hear the weather's supposed to be nice." Hotch said.

"Can we?!" an excited Jack asked.

"Sure, buddy. We'll go after lunch, okay?"

"Okay, can we get ice cream too?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, we'll definitely need to get ice cream." Hotch said with a smile.

A few hours later, Jack and Hotch are sitting on a park bench at the park, enjoying ice cream cones. Hotch is eating mint chocolate chip and Jack is eating chocolate chip cookie dough. They watch as the other children have fun, playing on the playground equipment. Jack then turned and smiled. In the distance, standing next to a tree, were Haley and Tristian. They were both smiling and waving at him. Jack could now say that he was finally happy with how his life was now. He had his father, and everyone else who mattered to him, in his life. And he also had his mother and Tristian whenever he needed them. He no longer felt isolated as he had at the Harlow residence.

Well, that's the end of the story. I know the story wasn't that great, but I'd like to thank you all for taking your time to read it and review for it. I really appreciate that. Please tell me what you thought. Thank you.
