Megan was trying her hardest to wake up, but it just wasn't working. She squinted hard to see what was going on and she caught a glimpse of a strange entity. It was hovering right outside the barrier. "What's going on?" She asked and it replied. "I can't tell you that."
"Why not?" Megan asked.
"Simply because it's not up to me."
"What do you mean?"
"You have to choose."
"Choose what?"
The entity popped up behind her.
"Whether this is a dream"
It disapeared in a puff of smoke and reapeared in front of her.
"Or a nightmare."
And with that, the entity was gone for good.

Back on Enterprise, Doctor Phlox was taking blood samples and scanning in an attempt to confirm Megan was in fact, Malcolm's daughter, when a console started beeping. She was in a coma. Not a normal coma either. He had never seen these circumstances before. She hadn't really sustained much damage, and there was no real "reason" for the coma, it was just there... Was it a side effect froml living on Tellvera, or was she really hurt? He would have to find out, but in the mean time, Malcolm had to know. But how was he supposed to tell him his daughter was in a coma, and might never wake up?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Malcolm sat in his quarters. He felt guilty. He really should've been there for them. Both of them. He shouldn't have let Lillian leave. He should have found a way... A way to keep her there... But in truth he doubted there was anything he could have done. Even if there had been something, would he have done it? That's what kept him guilting himself. Not to mention the fact that his daughter was currently in sickbay. Was that his fault too? Did he do something to cause it? Yes. Of course he did. He did something to cause her life, ultimatly it all boils down to the fact that it was his fault. Everything.
"Lt. Reed we need you in sickbay." It was Phlox. "Be right there." He replied and left.

Megan slammed up against the barrier again on the off chance it would give way. That entity said she had to choose... What good would that do? It was obvious. She was stuck in her own mind. It was definatly a nightmare. But the darkness was brightening again. She was lapsing into another dream-like thingy. What it was called hse didn't know or particularly care. All she knew was she was seeing a girl about her own age crying. She walked over and tilted her had slightly. The girl turned around. She was a klingon.
"Hello, who are you?" The girl asked, voice shaking. "My name is Megan Wi--" She stopped herself remembering her most recent discovery "Megan Reed." Saying that felt weird. Slightly bitter, but more satisfactory than anything. The girl smiled and stood up.
"I'm Miral. Miral Paris." She said and bit her lower lip. "What is this place?" She asked and Megan shook her head. "I thought it was my dream, but something tells me you're not a dream-person."
Miral laughed. "Dream person. That's a good one. It's like something my dad would say." She frowned. "Mom and dad... They had a fight... I can hear them... In my head." She said frowning. Megan tilted her head again. This was strange. She really wasn't like a dream person, but the way she was dressed was like nothing she had ever seen. Suddenly, the vision faded as quickly as it had appeared, leaving Megan in the barrier in the dark once more.

A/N: Really sorry it took so long. Yet again writers block. no I'm not making this a crossover (unless you guys want it to be and if you do I have other plans first it'll have to wait) and if you're wondering what the nightmare/dream thing is I'm not telling and the whole Miral thing occured as sort of a priminition, but not a big one, Megan won't mention it. Anyway, please review.
