I was walking through the halls of the temple. Or at least I think it was the temple. And for some strange reason I couldn't remember how I had ended up here. All I know was I was walking down a hall. But the halls seemed strange, yet I knew them. And then I turned to the left and saw a staircase leading up. Curious, I walked up the steps into the darkness ahead. And with each step a loud thump echoed. When I reached the top of the steps were a door was at, I was surprised to find that the thumping did not stop. Someone else was coming up the steps.

It just got louder and louder, yet I could not see anyone. I was starting to get scared, I threw open the door in front of me and slammed it behind me. Darkness was what the room was filled with. And I started to back up, but I bumped into what felt like glass. Confused I moved to the side but the same result. Glass was in my way.

Suddenly blinding light filled the room only for it to become pitch black again. Then once again the light flashed on…and then off. Then it started to flicker, like strobe lights or something. I was able to see where I was now. And it made my heart skip a beat. I banged on the glass trying to break out, but it seemed to hold against my powerful blows. Suddenly the wooden door flew open and the lights flashed more, faster, brighter and darker. A figure moved into the door way. It had glowing red eyes, it looked like their eyes had once been lifeless, and then were filled with blood.

They drew closer and I felt myself freeze in place. I couldn't move! I wanted to scream but I couldn't even manage that. I then started to feel sick as the figure drew closer. It reached for a lever of some sorts, and then a wicked grin spread over its face. It then pulled it down, and green light blinded my vision and I screamed.

"Celty! Celty wake up!"

I snapped my eyes open from the terrible nightmare I just had. Finitevus was sitting up and he had a worried look. I panted and sighed finding it was just a dream… but that sick feeling continued inside of me until I felt horrible…

"Oh god…" I managed to say as I leaped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. Whatever I had eaten today came up all at once as I threw up. I coughed and then gasped for breath. I leaned against the wall and slid down to the floor. Although I felt better now, I still felt sick. And inside I was scared. That dream was vivid. Almost like it was real. But it wasn't. I knew that.

"Celty?" Finitevus called from the bedroom. I could tell he was worried by the tone of his voice. So fighting down my sick feelings I walked over and opened the door to the bathroom a bit. I gave a small smile and said "I'm fine Fin, just ate something that upset my stomach."

Finitevus narrowed his eyes and then started to get out of bed but I quickly added "I'm fine…really. I just… I'm going to take a shower." Before he could say anything else I closed the door and sighed. I pressed my head against and then sighed again. Some way to wake up…

I turned away from the door and quickly turned on the shower. Maybe I had just been through a lot lately… Without another thought, I got undressed and stepped into the shower…

….

When I stepped out of the bathroom, I didn't feel sick anymore. I was wrapped up in a blue robe and I was brushing my hair. Finitevus was up and by his bed side table. He wrapped his cape around him and then put on his glasses. I leaned on the door way and said "It's still pretty early… and you said yourself that you were tired."

"That was last night. I have rested and I have work to get done. If anything you should be resting with your 'wake up call'." Finitevus countered and I sighed and said "I'm better now, okay? I just ate something that upset my stomach."

"You didn't eat anything last night as far as I know." Finitevus pointed out and then paused and looked like he was going to ask something, but then he shook his head and said "I got to get to work…" He then opened a warp ring and stepped through. It closed behind him and then I rolled my eyes and quickly got dressed. Once I was dressed I warped up to the main room.

Rosy and Angel were coloring pictures on paper down on the floor. They giggled and whispered to each other. Rosy caught eye of me and then leaned over and whispered to Angel. Angel gasped at what she said and then asked "You really think so?" Rosy nodded and then both girls stared at me for a moment.

I just stared back at them and then turned and walked away from the two. When I went near the kitchen, I saw my mother sitting at the table, around her were books stacked on books. She had documents around her and she was looking over a map. Beside her Dimitri was stating something that happened back in history. I shrugged but as I walked past my mother said "Celty… come here for a moment…"

Turned back around I walked over to the table and sat down next to my mother and asked "What?" She passed me a map of Mobius and said "Look familiar?" I looked over the map and nothing really stood out. I shrugged and said "It's Mobius. What about it?" My mother then took paper cut outs of the contents and then started to re arrange them. She cut off an edge of one and then stuck it to another until she was done.

"Now look at them." I looked over the pieces and I was surprised to find that they looked very similar to earth. I looked over at her and asked "Yes, I can see that these are similar to home…but what about it?"

"I think Mobius is earth." My mother said and I looked at her like she was crazy. Dimitri then spoke up and said "Hear her out Celty. I think she might be right." Turning back to my mother, she said "There is evidence that that this used to be earth. Old traces of the human race left behind. They have even found bones of what they call Overlanders, on from way back then."

"But that can't be possible. Mobius has been around for thousands of years, yet the date now is somewhere in the 3000. My mother nodded and said "Yes, it looks that way. But you have to remember, that they might have not started dating the days for a long time. Thus giving time to evolve and grow. I think that someway, earth was wiped clean of the human race, and then mobians emerged from the ashes of what we left behind. The Overlanders are just our decedents. Don't you see Celty? We never went to another world; we just went far, very far into the future. A time rift maybe? And then space counteracted it and turned us into Mobians to fit the time period we are in."

"Really now?"

I turned around to see Finitevus coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. He seemed intrigued to find out more about earth. He walked over and then sat down next to me and asked "And, what was your Era like Mrs. Alicade?" Mom was unsure for a moment, weather to tell him or not, but then she said "Not as advanced in technology as this world is now." That statement seemed to make Finitevus a little happier.

"How so?" he asked and then my mom said "Well Warp rings don't exists, we do have prosthetic limbs, like my daughter has, only it is not nearly as advanced. She would still have trouble moving around if she had our kind." I was a little embarrassed by my mother's statement and then Finitevus asked "What about wars?" he asked and then my mother said "We don't have a constant war such as this one. The one against the Eggman Empire as I have been told. Although we had to World Wars in which nearly the entire earth was dragged into. Either being conquered, or supplying other nations, or even just doing the main fighting."

"War…" Finitevus said with a scowl and then added "Useless. Lives are wasted like they can be easily replaced… Just another reason why this world is corrupted." Finitevus suddenly fixed his glare and then said "But of all aspects aside, how do you feel about knowing this?"

"I'm... well I feel a little better about knowing where I am…" My mother said quietly and then I shrugged and said "Not much of a difference… just more questions I got to ask to-" I suddenly stopped myself as I remembered no one knows about Eclipse. But no one seemed to catch the mistake in my sentence. That was relief.

"Well I have work to be done. I will see you all later." Finitevus said and then stood up from his seat. Grabbing his coffee he opened a warp ring but before he stepped through I called "Make sure to tell me how the soil taste!" He looked over his shoulder giving me a halfhearted glare before he stepped through, and then the ring closed behind him.

"Soil?" My mother asked confused and then I said "Oh, a joke between me and him that happened a long time ago…" I trailed off as my morning sickness started to come back. I sighed and leaned back in the chair.

"If you need me I'll be in my study." Dimitri called as he floated away. My mother gave a nod to him and then asked "You alright, Kate?" I huffed and then said "No, I feel sick. This morning when I woke up I threw up… I think I might have a cold or something…"

My mother was quiet for a moment and then her eyes widen a bit and she asked "How much do you love Dr. Finitevus, Kate?" That was kind of a stupid question. Anyone knows I would basically die for him…and I did too! I looked at her and said "Well…with all of my heart."

My mother stood up from her chair and then said "I'll be right back." She then used her own warp ring, which I'm guessing Finitevus gave to her, and she warped away to some unknown location. I shrugged and then stood up. But the sick feeling was coming back more now, and I groaned as I warped back into the bathroom.
