Sweet Madness
A/N: Again, no tape, could be some innacurate (sp?) stuff... Set during/after ATY
Had this all really happened? She sat in a plane on her way back to LA thinking that. It was all she could think of. Vaughn, her mother... Vaughn... She still couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that he was gone. It just wasn't possible... but it was.
Then there was her mother. To say that their meeting had been intense would have been an understatement. Here was this woman she thought so highly of for so long, who could have done no wrong in her mind... This woman who turned out to be all the opposite.
She'd imagined so many things they'd talk about when they'd finally meet. But never did she think her mother would ask her to join her. And while the thought of getting to know her mother, perhaps finding the part of her she'd loved so much beneath this new visage, the true meaning of that proposition made it impossible to accept.
The woman had appeared untouched by her refusal, but she knew there would be more to it... This wasn't over. After the meeting, her mother had let her go and she was able to call for help, which was how she'd ended up on that plane back home.
"Where are you..." she still found herself whispering as the plane landed.

He woke with a start, not sure where he was. He looked around and realized he was in a bed. "A bed..." he thought to himself, confused. For a second he thought maybe he was back home, that he and Sydney had made it back safely and everything was fine. But then he finally caught a glimpse of the room around him. This definitely wasn't home...

I know, it's short, but it's just a prologue... :)
