Hannibal was in his office waiting for his next client. It was a fellow physiatrist, but this one work at a mental institute in Virginia. He was coming to visit to talk about something important.

He had gotten the call the other day, so Hannibal cleared his schedule to make time for his friend.

Hannibal looked at the time. Noon at the dot. So he got up and opened the door, he gave Dr. John Chamberlin a smile. "Come in my friend." He greeted. John came over, and the two shook hands before both walking into Hannibal's large office.

"I still can't ever get over how large your office is." John said, looking around. He chuckled at seeing the second floor for Hannibal's books.

"Yes, well I didn't want my clients to fell closed in." Hannibal said, leading the chubby man over to a seat. "A glass of wine?" He offered his friend. John shook his head. "No thank you. I am not staying long. I just needed to talk to you about a client I had." John said.

Hannibal nodded pouring himself a glass of pink wine, after getting John a glass of water.

Hannibal sat behind his desk looking at Chamberlin, who was digging threw his briefcase.

"I had a patient released back to her home here in Maryland, but I was worried for her." John said, pulling out a file. He handed the file to Hannibal. Hannibal took it and opened the file, reading it over.

'Name: Anna Rosemary Invers.

Age: 17

Reason For Admition: Suicide, depression, slight memory loss due to trauma, and anxiety

Notes: Anna is a well behaved, shy young girl. She came to Milestone Institute at fifteen after witnessing mother's death. Anna attempted suicide at her home in Maryland. Was revived at hospital before being handed over to the Institute. Anna adjusted well. Kept to herself, took her anti depressions, and anti anxieties. She has expressed that she dreams of what happened but things was added to her dreams. Memories coming back.

Allergies: Penicillin, and shell fish.'

Hannibal red over the file, now looking at the picture of this Anna.

She was a pretty girl. Dark hair the color of chocolate, skin pale like sand at a beach he would visit, her lips were a lively dark pink. But it was her eyes he really focused on. They was a pretty mix of green and brown. But despite that they was filled with a haunting look. A look that said she has been threw so much.

"Her mother was sick with type four blood cancer. She had been sick for a while and the family knew she wasn't going to survive it. Anna was going to get some help but when she walked away from the boat house that her mother was staying in, the boat house exploded. It was a gas leak. Anna was deeply affect." John said sadly.

"She blamed herself. She was angry and depressed. She started cutting. And then one night she purposely cut to deeply. Luckily her mothers live in nurse was there to help with the funeral and coping. She helped save Anna's life when Anna's older sister found her in the tub." John continued.

Hannibal took a sip of his wine glass, nodding.

"And why are you showing me this?" He asked. "I actually had a request for you." He said. Hannibal clasped his hands together and sat straighter. "And what is that?" He asked. "I need you to take on Anna as a patient. Just for awhile. Make sure she is on her meds, she may someone to talk to. Her father is actually in a relationship with the mothers nurse." He told the other doctor.

"Her father is the author Steven Invers. He recently published a book, and is throwing a party with a few people. I got in contact with Anna's father to see if you can join if you take on as her doctor. That way she can meet you. Her father wants her to agree to bring your patient." John said.

Hannibal felt drawn to the picture once more. He looked into the haunting eyes of the troubled girl. He turned the girls file over to look over the police file in the folder. Reading the report of the fire.

He saw that the nurse was a familiar person. In fact this case seemed familiar

He looked over and nodded.

"I'll go. I'll take her in as a patient." Hannibal agreed. John looked happy and nodded. "Good. I'm glad. She is a really troubled girl. I think she will do fine, but I just want someone close to her to help her." John told Hannibal.

John stood, so did Hannibal. The two shook hands. John wrote down the address and left.

Anna walked with Alex to the boat house. Alex was laughing her ass off. "Did you see her face? Her precious dream kitchen was being destroyed." Alex laughed out. Anna giggled. "I was swinging that hammer with my eyes closed." She told her sister, which made her sister laugh harder.

"It's our board, and our home before hers. We should have it up." Anna said. Alex nodded agreeing with the girl. "Do you remember how awful moms handwriting was? And when she tried to write soccer practice, but we thought it said dentist oppoint?" Anna asked.

Anna chuckled. "And we ran away to the boat house to hide." Alex continued. The two laughed at the kind memory, as they took their clothes off to reveal their swimsuits.

"She took everything that mom brought in and hid it upstairs." Alex said. "Exactly. That's why we need to get the things and bring them back down." Anna said.

Anna looked at her sister nervously. She needed to tell Alex about her dreams. She had to tell someone. "Hey Alex.. I need to tell you something." Anna said nervously playing with her fingers.

Alex turned and leaned against door way that they was about to open to jump into the water. "What's up?" She asked.

"I don't want you to think I'm crazy..." Anna said, still playing with her fingers. Anna looked at her sister and smiled leaning against the wood like her sister. "I saw mom last night." She said.

Alex chuckled. "Good joke An's." She said. Anna frowned and went to sit against the wall of the boat house. Alex saw how Anna reacted and stopped her chuckling. She walked over and sat beside Anna.

"Did you really see mom Anna?" She asked her sister. She nodded. Anna then explained that she keeps dreaming about the night their mother died. But things was missing, and slowly coming back. She then told her sister about her nightmare last night, and seeing their mother in her room before Alex came into the room.

Alex saw how serious Anna was, and believed that she dreamt the whole thing up. Anna looked scared. "I cant tell dad. I don't want to go back. I cant go back." Anna said. Alex stopped Anna's ranting by saying her name.

"Anna. Calm down. It was just a dream. Ok? Just a dream. It was your first night back home, it would be normal." She explained. Alex put her hand on her knee. "You wont be going back. Not ever. I won't let them. You know the only reason I stay here is for you. Dad knows it too. If he even thinks of sending you back, you and I.. We're gone. I will always protect you. Ok?" Alex told her.

Anna pursed her lips and nodded.

"Thank you." She said, laying her head on her sister's shoulder. Alex smirked and held her pinkie up. Anna pulled her head up and made a look. "Do I have to?" She asked

Alex chuckled mischievously, and pulled Anna with her. She took her to the door way of the dock. She unlocked it and pushed the door open. She looked at Anna and once again held her pinkie out.

Anna smiled, rolling her eyes and locked her own pinkie with her sister's. The two grinned before jumping into the water with a excited scream.

Anna and Alex had a great time swimming and splashing each other in the water, just like old times. She was happy that Alex didn't think she was crazy.

Anna and Alex was laying on the deck together tanning. Anna squinted as the sun blinded her. She held a hand up to the sun. She opened and closed her hand. "Am I like... really pale?" Anna asked.

"Dude your like a ghost." Alex teased looking out at the water. Anna closed her eyes.

"But your future husband wont care." Alex said. It made Anna look over at her sister confused. Anna sat up to see a boat riding up to the dock. That was Matt's boat. She glared at her sister who stood up. "Don't you dare leave me Alex." She warned.

Alex grinned mischievously. "What are sisters for?" She taunted and dove inside the water, Anna called out at her sister. She got up and went to hurry up. They had brought their clothes down to the boating dock after swimming for a bit.

She put her dress on and saw she wouldn't be able to escape. She put her slip on shoes and put her hair into her side pony tail. She hasn't seen Matt since the night her mother died. She was at a party drinking with Alex. She and Matt was talking but soon was making out. He wanted to have sex with her.

But she pushed him off her, and she went home.

She looked at him as he smiled at her. She walked over to help him tie up the boat. He tossed her the rope, and she locked him in. She gave him a smile. She walked over to help him with the boxes.

"Its good to see you're back Anna." He said putting all the boxes onto the dock. She nodded. "Yep. I got back yesterday." she told him. "I wanted to visit you at the hospital, but I wasn't told where." He told her.

"You should've cut your wrists too, we could've been roommates." She joked, helping with the last box. He gave her a sad look. "You look well." He told her. She smiled. "So do you." She said. "Well thanks I try." He joked at her, making her giggle.

The two didn't talk anymore while they brought the things up to where the belong. Anna knew that the reason for the multiple boxes is for Rachel' s planned party for her dad.

Anna shuddered seeing the new Gas pipe that was in the boat house. She took a second to look at it, before rushing out. She helped carry boxes to the house.

Soon Anna and Matt was standing at the dock, Anna holding the last box. "Look Anna. About the night of the fire..." He started. "Matt! Good I caught you." Anna and Matt jumped at the new voice.

It was Rachel.

"I didn't see the roast." She said. He nodded. "I was to tell you that we was out and that there will be fresh roast tomorrow morning." He told the blonde woman. She nodded and handed Matt the money needed.

"Ok. Thank you. Tell your uncle I will be there tomorrow if he could put aside a nice looking one for me please?" She asked him. He looked at Anna before looking at Rachel and nodded. "Yeah I think he was going to any way Miss Rachel." He said being the gentleman that Anna always knew.

She smiled and nodded, now holding Anna in a motherly way. "Good. Oh Matt we are having a party for Anna coming up soon. I hope you can make time in your schedule to celebrate Anna being home. I was thinking she and I can start planning it after Steven's. Then we will get to you about it." She said, excitedly.

Matt gave her a boyish grin. "Yeah. That sounds great. I was just telling Anna that I missed her being here to help me even though I told her not to." He said. Rachel smiled at the two teens. "Oh she is the sweetest. We have missed her here so much." She gushed hugging the girl.

It made her cheeks flush. Anna gave Matt an annoyed look. He smiled seeing it.

"Any way. Anna I need you inside to help me put everything away. I ordered you some things as well." Rachel said to the young girl, who nodded. "Ok. I'll be right there. Let me carry this in." She said. Rachel nodded, going to make her way up back to the house.

Anna looked back at Matt. "Look.. Anna. That night...I never got to apologize to you for my actions at the Pit. I was nervous... I was drinking.. and that wasn't a good mix. I made you uncomfortable. That wasn't right. I'm sorry." He told her.

She smiled and put the box down to hug him. He hugged her back. "I forgive you Matt. We was both drinking that night. Though I wish I wasn't.. then I could've remembered what happened." Anna told him.

Matt opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Rachel called out. "Anna! Come on sweetie!" Rachel called. The two teens looked up at the blonde watching them.

They heard Alex climb up, and join them. "Alex you too sweety." Rachel called. Alex gathered her things rolling her eyes, but went up to Rachel. Anna picked up the box once more, and Matt got up on the boat.

He untied the rope to free his boat from the dock. She looked at him. "Anna... I really am happy you're back." He told her, looking down at her from the boat.

She smiled nodding. "It's good to be back. I plan on staying this time." She said, and went to walk away. Matt watching her, before driving the boat back to the mainland.
