"Flash news: an accident took place on highway 5, the conductor of a van passed out and his vehicle crashed. But the police was shocked to find that in the van were five men armed with military weapons. The police did not share anymore details, apart from saying that a tragic event has just been narrowly avoided…"
Henry changed the station and Emily said "Wow, we could have crossed those people!" Henry grumbled "The world these days… Fortunately they had this accident." Next to him, Elizabeth stroked his arm.
Behind, Dorian was hiding a smile. Although no one knew he was the one who did it, he still felt happy. Didn't every kid wish to become heroes? That's why, Dorian felt a little proud. As for any innocent victim from the accident? Well, there would have been more deaths if he hadn't acted. Sacrifice the few to save the many.
It didn't take much longer for the family to reach Henry's parents' house. It was a big house on the coast, right in front of the beach. And it looked like they were lucky today, as the weather was good, there was no clouds in sight.
As the family got out of the car, a golden retriever came running at them. It jumped on Henry who began laughing. At the door, two elderly people were standing, smiling at them.
As Dorian pocketed his earphones, the golden retriever, Carl, came to his feet and began circling around him. Dorian smiled and lowered himself to pet it when it suddenly said "You grew up kid."
Dorian froze in shock before acting like nothing happened and proceeded to pet Carl. However, inside his head, was only mayhem, and chaos. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F?! Why the hell was the dog talking?!
Gaby walked next to Dorian and patted Carl "Who's a good boy: Who's a good boy!" Carl played along and acted all excited. Dorian didn't even think about him mishearing, all his attributes were at 30, how could he possibly mishear?
He pretended to let it go and walked toward his grandparents house, along with his family, but countless thoughts sped around in his head.
Still, on the outside he smiled at his grandma and kissed her before hugging his grandfather, and got in the house with everyone. As they began talking, Dorian tried to think about what was happening.
But as he thought about the different possibilities, he realized he didn't know enough. The most probable possibilities though were either this dog somehow entered Dreamland and got strong enough to gain intelligence, or the dog was in fact a shapeshifter, or one of his grandparents was a Dreamer, and Carl is a familiar.
As they arrived in the house they all went to sit in the living room as Dorian's grandma, Pauline, went to grab some drinks.
Dorian's grandfather, Benjamin, said "I heard there was an accident on the fifth, you were there?" Henry shook his head and said "We missed them fortunately."
Benjamin nodded and said "It's weird still, he just passed out like that, just like magic… I guess we were lucky."
Dorian instantly understood his grandfather was a Dreamer. Now the question remained, was his grandmother one too?
Dorian felt his heart rate intensify as panic slowly crept on him, before he calmed himself. Why should he worry? True, his grandfather being a dreamer was weird, but did that mean it was bad? It might actually be a good thing.
Dorian took back control and asked with a smile "What have you been doing lately papy?" Benjamin laughed and said "Oh, nothing special, we mostly spent our days here…"
The family began chitchatting, as if everything was fine. After some time though, and some coffee, Pauline said "Why don't we go take a swim? The weather is just right."
At those words Gaby laughed and said "Just what I was thinking about Mamie! Emily, come with me!" She took Emy's hand and dragged her away, to take their swimsuits.
Dorian, Emily and Gabrielle always have spare clothes here due to the time they spend here, and that included swimsuits. Dorian got up and said "I'll change myself too."
Dorian smiled and walked away, going for his room. As he left he tried to hear what they were talking about, something that shouldn't be difficult at all, but found out all he heard were blurred words!
Obviously, they were masking their conversations. His grandfather was doing so at least. Downstairs, Elizabeth smiled to Henry and asked "Should we go to?"
Henry took her hand and said "Yes, I'll join you in a second." She nodded and walked away too. As she did, the atmosphere turned more serious, and Henry asked "You have something to tell me?"
Suddenly, Carl, who was sitting on the ground next to him, said "It's about Dorian." Henry raised an eyebrow and asked "What is it?" Carl said "He entered Dreamland."
Henry looked at Carl shocked and said "That's impossible! He.. he is…" Pauline sighed and said "You don't know because you never entered, but we felt him before even seeing your car. We have a special sense towards danger, and he is screaming danger. He can hide it from most people, but only to those who are about as strong as him."
Henry fell against the back oh his seat, looking dejected, and empty. Pauline smiled and said "It's alright, there's no need to worry."
Henry shook his head and said "You told me how it is there, I know its dangerous." Benjamin shook his head and said "Don't worry, we will talk to him. As long as he doesn't go in, then he is fine. No one would dare hurt him here, so its alright. But still, I need to ask you, did you notice any change in his behavior? If so, when?"
Henry opened his eyes wide, that's why he was so weird this morning? With a sigh, he said "Yes, actually. It all happened this morning. Yesterday, he was the same as usual, and looked bored. But this morning, he appeared all happy and joyful. He said he found a new passion… Oh god…"
Benjamin and Pauline looked at him shocked though. Pauline asked "Are you sure? Are you sure the change happened during the night?"
Henry nodded, and seeing his parents face he asked "Is there something wrong?" Benjamin suddenly laughed and said "There's no problem, you don't have to worry! Now stop thinking about it, he will be perfectly fine! Go change yourself, the beach will change your mind."
Henry nodded halfheartedly and headed for his old room. But on the way he did his best to hide his internal conflict, he didn't want to worry his wife for nothing.
A few minutes later, Dorian got out of his room, still clothed. However, he had a swim short under his jeans. In the living room, everyone was already waiting.
Gaby was almost jumping on the spot, already changed in her bikini as she hurried him "What took you so long! Let's go!"
Everyone smiled at her enthusiasm, even Henry who was feeling a little down. As they reached the hot sand, Dorian took his shoes off, and observed his grandparents carefully, as well as Carl.
Once they set their beach towels, Gaby started streaming and said "Hello to you guys and gals, today I'm at my grandparents' house, and you know what that means! Wow, you are coming fast! So, my brother started working out, but he never shows his body, but now he doesn't have anymore choice, so let's see if he worked hard enough! Grandpa, what do you think?"
Benjamin smiled and said "I have faith in my grandson." Gaby grinned and said "We shall see! Dorian, show me your body!"
Hearing her, even Dorian felt embarrassed. He understood she was on live, and needed to be energetic, but was there really a need for all of this? Dorian looked around for some help, but saw no one was ready to.
Emily and his mother were gloating at him, his father looked as serious as ever, and his grandparents were grinning just like Gaby.
With no choices left, Dorian sighed and took his shirt off.
"Damn bro!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
