Chapter 8



"Stop!" I yelled to her, thinking there was no way she would actually listen

to me and stop charging for us. But she stopped and stared. I cleared my throat. "I-I'm

Sydney Bristow, and I don't think you're crazy." She stared at me and pointed, "Y-you, you're

the one." She gasped. I looked at her and suddenly she pulled up her shirt, revealing a scar

identical to the one on my own stomach. Without hesitation, I mocked her and showed her

my scar as well. She ran over and threw her arms around me and started to cry. "I knew

you'd come save me, only you can save us all, you're the chosen one." Vaughn was looking

very confused at this point. "okay, slow down and please inform me about what you know,

because I'm very confused." I told her.

"It's the prophecy," she explained. "Rambadli-he-he wanted you to fulfill his

dreams for him. As you know, Rambsldi prophecized many things, but his key to power

and success was endless life. Sloane planned to find Rambaldi's prophecy and bring it back

to reality. It was his goal-his dream. But, unfortunately for Sloane, it took him longer to find

the 47 artifacts and assemle The Telling, than he thought it would take him-30 years. Sloane

feared that it would be too late. He was correct. So, he decided since you were the chosen

one for the prophecy that he hand it over to you. Do you understand?"

Syd and Vaughn were jus staring open-mouthed, and wide-eyed at her.

"I know it's a lot to take ina t one time, but I've only just begun to explain Rambaldi's

full prophecy."

"W-why did he also choose you and that other girl to help him?" I asked her quietly.

"I promise, I will explain it all to you eventually, but right now, we need to find El Dire

and Sloane and stop him-before it's too late."

"Okay, but how do we get there?" I asked nervously.

Vaughn was still just standing there, taking it all in.

"Okay, Sydney, this may be hard but I need you to try and do this for me."

"What?" I asked her, suddenly frightened.

"You have been having visions, right?"

"Yes, how did you----"



"I will explain everything when we have the time. But, I must tell you, your

scar, my scar, and Laurie's scar connects us to Sloane. We can see what he's thinking

and planning. He is trying to get into our minds, and control us, so that we see things, but

each of us seperately see different things. When we are all put together, we can see everything.

So, first, we need to find Laurie, the third girl, and then we have a chance at getting to Slaone.

But we need to hurry."

"Do you know where she is?" Vaughn asked her at once, breaking his silence.

"Yes, I can get you to her."

"How do you know so much more?" he asked her again.

"Again, I will explain it all later."

"One more thing," I interrupted,"I can't control when I get into Sloane's mind, it

just happends, sometimes when I'm asleep."

"Okay, I'll tell you how to control it better along the way." she simply replied,

in a quieter tone.

I had no idea how she was going to get out of this mental facility, because everyone

thought that she was nuts. I was also totally confused and frightened. Vaughn came

over to me, grabbed my hand, and we headed for the door.
