Chapter 3

-=-=-=-=-=

Note: None of the events that are about to take place never happened, Syd's imagining them, and she thinks that they're real. At the * is when they really happen.

Syd's Viewpoint

Soon, after waiting for almost an hour, some people brought me food. I was hungry,

so I scarfed it down. Then, Vaughn came back in. I was sick of questioning him, so I went

over to him and raged, "Why are you married? Why didn't you wait for me, you knew I

loved you!"

"Syd,he said, " love Alice, and I thought you were missing."

"You keep saying that, missing, what do you mean?" I asked him impatiently.

"Syd, you were just---gone we didn't know where you went. And then you came back all

of a sudden, and now you're here."

"Does anyone know how I got here--" I began, but was suddenly interrupted by---

"Syd watch out!" Vaughn shouted. 2 men in guns came at me.

"Vaughn, I don't have a gun!" I shouted. I lunged at them and kicked one of the guys and

kicked the gun out of his hand. I then dove out of the way, before the bullet could hit me. I grabbed

the one guy, and then shot at him. I killed him. That's when Vaughn disappeared again,

and three men came out at me. I went for one. * "Agent Bristow, you need to relax. We're

here to help you. You're seeing things that are not real!"

Vaughn and Jack's Viewpoint

Note: The things that are happening here are real

Please let me hold you

The day is not done

Please let me help you

You know this can be won

This can't go on forever, it will go by

You'll heal one day and be able to fly

"I need to talk to my daughter," I said as a guard walked up to me.

"Agent Bristow, I'm sorry, but she has a bad case of Schizophrenia."

"I can talk to her, she needs to know what reality is, she needs to see the real world

from her mind. Let Vaughn and me talk to her, then we'll need to take her to a good psychiatrist."

"Okay...Agent Vaughn, and Agent Bristow for clearance."

I walked up to my daughter, the one that I knew and loved so much. Her hair was a tangled mess,

and her eyes were swollen, and distant. "Hello Sydney," I said, which came out as a crack.

"Daddy," she said and came over and hugged me. "Daddy, I"m sorry I left you for so

long, but it's ok, because I'm back now."

"Sydney, you weren't gone for 2 years, please try and understand this, it will be hard,

but please try. Sydney-you, you have a bad case of Schzophrenia, you can't seperate what's

going on inside of your mind, from reality any longer, and you need to listen to me. You-you are

ill, very ill, and..." Jack sat down and put his hands over his head.

"Dad..please, don't be upset." Syd said, tears forming in her eyes.

Vaughn came over to Syd, "Honey..I'm not married, I love you, please..you will get better, I

promise, even if it takes me forever, I will heal your broken wings..I will heal you, your heart, and

soul, and life will go on.

Life goes on day and night

But try I may and try I might

To wipe the tears falling from your cheek

And cleanse your soul when it gets weak

Together we'll get through this life

And someday soon, i'll make you my wife.

Together, the three of them held eachother, tears falling from their eyes.

Note: I know this is sad, but it will get better, I promise!
