When I woke I was lying on something very uncomfortable and my mother was hovering over me.

"Hey." She soothingly said as she brushed my hair behind my ear.

"What happened?" I asked her while I tried to sit up, but she pushed back down when my head started to hurt.

"Just lie down now, you passed out in class. Nurse, nurse could I get an ice pack or something?" She motioned to the woman standing behind her. She turned back around and looked at me with concern written all over her face.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just got a little dizzy that's all." I neglected to tell about how I felt before passing out because she was worried enough.

"Just the same, I want to get you checked out by Ed." Now there was something she was keeping from me, it was ringing in my head.

"Why can't we just go to see Dr. Reynolds?" I pried.

"I would just feel better if Ed saw you and besides I have to go back to the lab anyways." She said just a little too quickly. I was going to protest again but the nurse came back with the ice pack.

I sat on the edge of one of the lab tables while my mom and Ed were in the other room checking on the results. Ed got a little carried away; he even took some of my blood. But he recovered by saying that he could get better results with some blood. Yeah, right! There was something major going on but like usual nobody wanted to tell me anything. I jumped off the table, went over by my mom's desk and pretended to forage for a piece of gum. Her desk was closer to the next room so a budged the doors open a bit a tried to listen.

"Ed, those tests better come back negative." My mother said as she started to pace.

"Don't worry, Sloan. They will, and this will be just like the last time." He stated leaning back in his chair to look at her.

"Oh, don't remind me. The minute she started to get those headaches, I freaked. Tom tried everything but eventually they ended. I just keep thinking he could of come and tried to take her at anytime if she started to change. And that's what keeps me up at night; Ed. That's the thought I revert to anytime she does this, that she can be controlled just like Tom can. I can't lose them Ed, I just can't." She slumped down in the corner and started to cry. What was she talking about? Who could control dad?

"Sloan, Sloan calm down. She won't be a dominant just cause her father is. There is a chance." Ed looked up as the door creaked and saw me. Too confused to do anything else, I ran. I ran down the stairs, past Walter who was on his way up to the lab, past Frank, the security guard who was confused on why I running out the door, past my mom's car, down the street, past the bank and into the park. I ran to the fountain and collapsed, confused and scared, not knowing exactly where to go. All I knew was I couldn't go back to them for some reason, the trust was gone; they had lied to me all these years. My father was a dominant and so was I. Somehow, somewhere inside myself I had always known, and this just proved it. I wiped away the tears and turned to lean against the wall of the fountain. I closed my eyes and rested my head against the edge. I tried to take a few breaths, trying not to hyperventilate, calming down a bit to open my eyes again I was startled to see someone standing in front of me.

"Hard to know someone you love lied to you, isn't Anna?" Mr. Lewison said gently as he stared at me.
