Thank you all for the reviews as I always got more inspiration to write! Here comes the second chapter for today!


Dear diary,

Four days has passed by since the last time I wrote. It feels like I´m living in a dream. I can´t believe what I´ve heard today. I´m actually an alien. Yeah, yeah laugh... Or maybe not an alien, but they says that I´m not from earth and that the planet I come from was destroyed by, what they called, wraiths. They said that they found me alone when I was six years old after my father alarmed that they needed help from Atlantis. They came too late and both of my parents were killed together with all others of "my people". Now the wraiths are after me for some reason. Well, I´ve already met one of these monsters so I guess that´s proof enough.

John has showed me around at some places here at the island. Of course Atlantis is not at Earth… So dear dairy, I´m also at another planet and apparently I arrived through something called "Stargate". It looks like a big ring with a beautiful shimmering blue color inside. Like shimmering water. They said that I have been here before, but I can´t remember a thing. I really can´t.

But there´s something more that bothers me that I have not told anyone. I discovered this yesterday and this time I really got myself in troubles.


Mia opened the door to the balcony and took out the packet from her pocket and then she enjoyed every whiff she took.

The view was beautiful as the light from the island shimmered against the sea in the dark. She closed her eyes and breathed the fresh air through her nostrils.

"Ok, focus Mia. You can do it. You can remember." She whispered to herself and tried to think back at the earliest memory in her life. When she saw herself being slapped by her adoptive father she immediately opened her eyes and shook the head.

"Ok, no memories about adoptive parents. Lets do this."

She closed her eyes hard this time and tried to go back even further back in time."

"You can´t flee. Both of you would not be able to flee. "a scary voice said and then she saw a wraith right forward her with long blond hair and grey-green skin.

Mia screamed and opened her eyes. Half Atlantic probably woke up.

"Crap." She said as she saw John coming out at the balcony.

"Are you ok? What happened?"

"Nothing. Just wanted to take some fresh air and I think I felled asleep out here." Mia answered and hoped that he wouldn´t look at the ashtray.

But when the colonel started to sniffle she knew she was screwed.

"Is there a fire somewhere?"

"N…No I can´t smell anything." Mia said and then pretending to yawn and started to walk back in. "God I´m tired, time for bed."

"Oh no young lady don´t even think about it." He said and took a grip on her shirt and dragged her back. "Where´s the cigarettes?"

"It was the last one."

He looked at her like he was saying "Nice try" and she handled the cigarettes to him. She saw the cigarettes disappear in the dark and then in the water when he threw them out of the balcony.

"Wh…What the hell?!"

"I´m going to make some rules RIGHT NOW."

"You have no right telling me what I can or what I can´t do." Mia whispered angry.

John laughed sarcastic.

"You´re 15 and only a child, so yes I can. Rule number one; No smoking. Rule number two; no drinking and rule number three; NO SNEAKING OUT. Do you understand?" he said and stared angrily at her.

Something just burst in her.

"You don´t know anything about me and what I´ve been through. My life is a whole mess and I´ve never EVER felt the feeling that I have belonged somewhere. But maybe that´s not surprising as I ever was from the planet I lived in. I´m all alone and I have nobody as my best friend got killed last month and all at my birth planet is dead and…"

John caught her in a hug and she collapsed with tears in his arms.

"And…And I can´t remember anything." She sobbed.

"Schh. You will remember. Just give it some time. I will help you" He comforted.

At a moment she wanted to tell him her secret but she didn´t. She could not find the courage.
