A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, I'm so grateful and I love all of you who did; well sorta, you know what I mean

Note: What if Shal had a sister

Recap: "I'll never leave you" he stated as he looked down and noticed that Shal had fallen asleep.

Chapter 15: Dana

It had been a few weeks since the whole incident with Shal almost dying and everyone was thankful she didn't. Adam had told Brennan to go put a new mutant into the Underground before he went to a convention about genetics. So the only one's left in Sanctuary were Emma, who was in den and Jesse, was above the den on the computer, and Shalimar was alone in her room asleep.

Shalimar's Dream…

Shalimar was walking along a path that was surrounded by flowers. Brennan was there they were holding hands walking to an unknown place. Shalimar turned around and kissed the man she loved, but when the kiss was over Brennan slowly, but surely disappeared. Shalimar started to panic; she didn't know where he went or what happened to him, but then she heard a soft little voice singing.

Let me show you the way
It's a game that we play
Oh everyday so easy
Let me show you the way
Oh just say what you say
So easily

Shalimar followed the voice until she turned a corner to see a little girl that looked exactly like her but with brown hair. "Dana" Shalimar gasped one word that made a chill go down her spine. The little girl outstretched her hand, in order for Shalimar to take it. Shalimar took her hand and the little girl led Shalimar to her hiding place.

End of Shal's Dream…

Shalimar woke up in a cold sweat; it had been years since she had that dream/nightmare, no matter how it started it always ended the same. Shalimar stood up above her bed and she decided that she needed to have a shower. She felt weak, too weak to stand in front of a water faucet and wash but she felt so dirty that she had to. She turned on the water and made it warm, so warm that someone would mistake it for hot, the only reason she made it so warm was because she felt so cold. She got into the shower and could feel the water beating on her skin; it was helping. She scrubbed her skin with body soap and she started to feel clean. She turned off the water and walked out of the shower and started to dry herself. After she finished she chose to wear blue jeans and a t-shirt that she got from a Green Day concert. She could feel Dana try and pull her back into the dream she had before she woke up. Before she knew it, Shal couldn't take it and gave up and fell on top of her bed and permitted Dana to drag her in to another dream.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Jesse had decided to take a break and go watch some TV with Emma. Emma had fallen asleep on Jesse's lap about a few minutes after Jesse joined her. It had been about an hour since Emma fell asleep and soon she shot out of Jess's lap and gasped.

"Shal's in trouble" she whispered and ran to Shalimar's room before Jesse could ask why or how.

Jesse ran after Emma towards Shal's room and stopped running a few steps before he was in. He entered Shal's room to see Emma trying to wake her up.

"What the hell happened?" he asked in exclamation.

"I don't know, but help me get her to the lab" she ordered while Jesse picked Shal up and carried her to the lab.

Shalimar was gently placed on the med bed; before Jess checked her vitals and Emma called Brennan.

"Brennan, are you done with that new mutant?" Emma asked, worry in her voice.

"Yeah I just dropped him off, why?" Brennan asked confused.

"Because something is wrong with Shal" she explained, not wanting to tell him.

"I'm on my way" Brennan announced, worry developing in his voice.

It to 45 minutes for Brennan to return to Sanctuary and he immediately ran to Shalimar's side. Emma tried to reach Adam but he was ultimately unreachable. Shalimar had been out for at the most an hour, and she hadn't said a word or moved, unfortunately. Suddenly between Shalimar's eye and her hair a cut formed and started to bleed; that's when it dawned on Jesse.

"Oh my god, I know where she is" it dawned on Jesse.

"Well…" Emma nagged on.

"She's in like a dreamscape type thing, but no one's controlling it" Jesse explained.

"Don't worry Dana, I'll save you" Shalimar whispered in her sleep.

While Brennan and Emma turned their attention back to Shalimar, Jesse processed what she just said.

"Oh no" Jesse realized.

"Who's Dana?" asked an impatient Brennan.

"Dana, is Shalimar's twin sister" Jesse said, and faced a very confused Brennan and Emma.

Jesse led Brennan and Emma outside and told them the story, well everything he knew, well almost everything about Dana.

"Ok, Shalimar has a sister that could probably get her out of this dreamscape, well where is she?" Brennan asked, still confused.

"She's dead" Jesse flatly stated before he walked back to Shalimar.

Shalimar shot up and gasped as she started to cry profusely. She just leaned into Jesse mid-section, since he was the only one she told about Dana.

"I watched… I watched her die" Shalimar sobbed.

"Shh" Jesse soothed.

20 Minutes Later…

Shalimar had finally finished sobbing and was able to walk to her room without Brennan helping her stand up and walk alone. She walked into her bathroom and ran the cold water. She threw some water on her face and walked out to see Brennan with a 'want to know' look on his face.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a sister?" Brennan asked.

"Brennan, don't" Shalimar pleaded, she really didn't want to talk about her past right now.

Unknowns to Shal or Brennan, Emma and Jesse decided to sneak up and eavesdrop.

"Why shouldn't I, you never even considered to tell me that you had a sister or that she died" Brennan exclaimed so the whole Sanctuary could hear.

"Stop it" she exclaimed, as she turned away from Brennan so he couldn't see her cry.

"Why?" he yelled again.

Shalimar just shook her head and Brennan could see she was crying.

"Tell me damn-it, what exactly happened to her that you saw, that was so traumatizing that you couldn't even tell me; the man who loves you to death" Brennan softened his voice when he reached the last 7 words.

"You want to know, you really want to know?" Shalimar yelled whipping around to face Brennan, not afraid to show her tears.

Brennan just nodded in an of course answer. Shalimar ran to her desk opened a drawer and pulled out a picture and pushed it into Brennan's face, while not letting her slim fingers let go of the frame.

"That was my sister who died…" she started to cry some more.

"You don't really want to know what happened" she yelled.

"Yes I do, why won't you just tell me for god sakes" he yelled back.

"I don't want to tell you because I killed her" she whispered so even Brennan couldn't hear.

"What was that?" Brennan asked as he kept persisting.

"What do you want from me" she yelled after shaking her head and pushing her hands through her hair.

"I just want to know what the hell happened" Brennan persisted a little bit more.

"I killed her" she screamed, before running out of the room with the picture in hand.

A/N: Duh, Duh, Duh. Haha another cliff-hanger. Hey I didn't say there was going to be no more cliff-hangers. And there might be two or three more chapters; I've changed my mind, since I got this angle who knows what's going to happen or how many chapters. REVIEW, DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T REVIEW!
