John Doe's POV
So at least now I have a name to latch onto, it may not be my 'real name' but at least I can tell them something. as we approached the Daller house, Dorn opening the door, holding it open trying to be a gentleman. "After you..." as we walked in, we saw two people sitting on the couch. one crying, and one facepalming, as they watched what appeared to be a Soap Opera. the man cried. "I can't believe he left her for Brittany again!" the woman facepalms in repliance. "Drew, why do we even watch this show? It's so stupid! I mean we know it's gonna be the same thing everytime, nobody ever stays married, vows don't mean in this show-....
Um. Dorn. who are your friends?" she said, looking towards me specifically. then, two boys about Becky's age came down. one a bit nerdy, with incredibly poofy hair. the other with one hair that never laid down. "Uh. hi...people." Becky walked over to him. quickly shaking his hand. "Howdy, Becky Hazard, world renowned child Doctor, I have 12 PHDs and-" I quickly entered the conversation. "*AHEM*...I need a place to stay, would it be alright if I stayed here?" Becky nods with me. "Me too!" Melissa sighs. "Dorn...we're not letting random strangers into our home. this is a bad-" just then, the TV stopped working. Drew screamed. "Nooo!!!...Now we won't get to see if Harry goes through with the marriage or not!" Becky walked behind the TV. "Not a problem, I can fix it!" she jumps behind. rewiring several things, as the TV quickly comes back on. Drew's jaw drops. "H-h-h-h-how did you do that?..."
Becky smiles. "I might've stretched about the Doctor thing...a Doctor's just what I always wanted to be. helping people and-...cause it's what my Dad does. But I'm..pretty nifty at fixing things!" Drew kneels down next to her, and he puts his hand on her face. breathing down her neck. "Can you fix my blender? and my toaster? and-" Becky smiled back. "I can try!" Drew then ran into the kitchen. "Great! Okie you can stay!" one of the two children walked over. "So these guys are gonna be staying with this?..these...random people? I'm ok with her but...who's the fat guy?" I scoffed a bit, before looking at my weight."O-oh um...John...John Doe." suddenly, I saw the nerdy one walk outside. as he waved goodbye. "Oh! sorry guys! I promised Maddi I'd see her around this time. haha, we were gonna watch some stuff. jam to some tunes, and y'know...talk." the other one groaned. "Uuugh...right now? Can't you just stay here? I'm telling you Rodger, something's not right about that girl...she seems...off."
'Rodger' replies with much frustration. "Hey!!..You don't know Maddi like I do! she's my best friend! and she's been through a lot!" Dorn walked over to him. "I thought I was your best friend..." to which the two of them scream. "Shut it Dorn!" Rodger then goes out the door, slamming it quickly. the orange haired one runs upstairs quickly. and frustrated. as Becky pulled on my shirt. "We need to get you to bed sleepyhead! don't want you to fall...You are my patient after all.." I looked at Becky's face, she was wearing an eyepatch now. I know she wanted to hide whatever it was that happened before, but I got the feeling it wasn't something she should be hiding. but I decided not to ask her anymore, and obeyed my 'Doctor's' orders, and walked upstairs.


END OF POV

Madison's POV
...Why is this happening to me? it was the same dream, the one I've had every week....Rodger was there, he looked..older. distraught. a broken pair of glasses, and a tattered green hoodie like my brother, he looked at me with confusion. and despair. as he tried to straighten the glasses he had left. I was there. in front of him, I could see it from 3rd person. I was standing there, menacingly, with a sadistic look on my face, as steam flooded the room. and I was...a monster...a demon...something...I didn't know what this was, what it meant. but I wanted it to go away. I had just walked up to Rodger, and he looked at me saddened. "Hi there...You've been busy...right Maddi?" I just stood there, looking at him emotionless. "All right. Well, here's a question for ya... do you wanna have a bad time? cause if you take another step forward...I'm gonna have to do something I really..don't want to have to do." after that, I walked forward. he screamed at me. "Why'd you do it Maddi?!..
So what if there's a demon inside of you?! Fight it! You're strong I know you are! Your whole childhood was a living infernum save for one psychopath!.... no.....you...you're not Maddi anymore are you?...I guess...the prophecy was right huh?... I won't become one of them Maddi. unless I have to. because becoming one of them means I get the power to kill you. and I don't want that power, I won't. I won't kill you." I smiled sadistically again. "Then see you soon...Neptune.." just then, I saw myself...stabbing my best friend in the chest. killing the person who means more to me than anything, I couldn't watch. but I couldn't look away. there was nothing that could make it end. as he died in my arms, I dropped him. as he looked into me with loving eyes, I stomped on his face. and when it was over...I lowered the blade down to his head with one intention. but as always, it ended there. it always ends there, I never get to see how I finish him. and I don't want to, I just want the nightmare to stop. but it never does, it never will....but this time, something different happened. as my vision went black, I saw words glowing red. the name 'Albert.' faintly written in my own mind, as a whispery voice spoke to me. "The man who will bring you one step closer to becoming whole..." finally, I woke up. it was the morning now, a Saturday morning... I got up, and walked downstairs. and Rodger was here. he smiled. "Morning Maddi!" I started to cry, running down to hug him. he blushed. "W-what's this about?!" I then jumped.
Now was a good a time as ever right?... I had to tell him. "Rodger..there's something I have to tell you...remember that night when you told me how you feel?" his face turned red. "........Y-yeah..." but before I could respond, Carl came down yawning. "Morning Maddi-...
Oh. hey uuuhh...Rodger. what are you doing here?" Rodger ran over to him. "I brought cupcakes!" Carl grabbed one quickly. "Cupcakes?!..Fine you can stay." he continued munching. "But only if you behave."Rodger nodded. "What were you gonna tell me Maddi?" I sighed. "Nevermind it can wait....hey uumm..how about we go over to your house...I don't really feel like..being here right now." I didn't tell Rodger why, and honestly...I didn't understand it myself. ever since Rodger found his real Dad buried in the backyard...this house has given me a weird feeling.. Rodger smiled. "Sure thing. though some people are staying there right now, some girl named Becky..and some fat guy." I don't know why, but I herd the name. 'Albert.' in my head when he mentioned him. "O-oh okie..c-c-come on then..l-let's go.." Rodger smiled, walking me out the door. but when he looked into my eyes he could see something was wrong. "Everything okay?" I sighed. "Everything's fine just...let's hurry okay?" Rodger nodded.


We arrived at his house, Carl stayed home to watch over ours. and walking in I saw a girl working on a toaster on the couch. "I think I've almost got it..." Toast then began spewing out of it. "It worked!" Drew jumped up. squealing as if his life long dream had come true. "The toaster worked!!!" I simply looked at them strangely. the girl walking over to me. "Oh, hi, I'm Becky Hazard Doc...well I wann be a Doctor, and you are?.." It was refreshing seeing a new friendly face, and I couldn't figure out why, but her face was especially friendly. "My name's Maddi...do I know you? there's something about you I can't quite figure it out.." she smiled. "Oh! you probably think I look like my Dad right? everybody says so. hah... he was a War Doctor, and you're in the military. so it's not far fetched to say you guys met." I shake my head no in response. "I..I don't think that's it..." suddenly, HE entered the room. a large towering and fat blue Volaticon, his clothes a tattered gray. he spoke with a heavy accent humans would call 'austraulian.' "Crikey! another one eh? what's your name?" something about this man, shocked me. I couldn't figure out what, he was so friendly. and yet.... "My name is Madison..leave me alone if you know what's good for you." I didn't know why I was so rude to him at the time, just a feeling of unease fell over me near him. just then, out of no where. Dorn entered the room. "Guys! I've really gotta pee where's your bathroom?" Melissa pointed to it facepalming. "There Dorn." He ran to it quickly. "Thans Mrs Daller I-....that's ok nevermind..." Melissa screamed. "Ugh! Get out Dorn!" Dorn quietly walked out the door. "Ok then, cya later Mrs. Daller." everyone laughed, but I didn't. I couldn't laugh, not with him near me. he was intoxicating...and yet he was so nice. what was it about him then that hit me so hard? I decided not to say anything, in the hopes he wouldn't be here too long... this was going to be a long day.

Though, I have a question.
How old is Albert exactly? At first I thought he was a grown man even in part 1, now I'm thinking he might be closer to their age? Cause it's kinda creepy bringing some random grown man in the house XD

Also, good job on Madison's P.O.V, it puts a lot in her character unlike what others see when you do third person, she hides in her mask of humor and cheerfulness along with a big ego, when under that mask, she's terrified and untrusting of others most of the time. 
Though, I would love something from Robert's P.O.V to delve deeper into what first made them not click. Because Robert was the person introducing Rodger to Madison in the first place because she was a new student and becoming friends with one more person that didn't label him as a freak would be a breath of fresh air for him.
Another thing is that I really want Madison and Rodger to show some tough love over this, especially since Rodger doesn't know of the Graadian incident, plus he's seen that Madison has changed to a more emotionally distant person after that, so, if you do plan on her revealing her dreams to someone, he would be the one to do it. Them actually having a fight would cause such tension that could lead to her erupting into her own feelings to him.

I just thought up some suggestions for you to do XD Even though it's a bit much XD
