My Love For You Is Real
(Part 1)
Greg led them to last spot where he had seen Pheobe. He turned to Kathryn and sighed.
"I'm sorry Kathryn, I was a fool." Kathryn looked up at him and smiled.
"What are you talking about Greg?"
"I am talking about thinking that I could ever replace your sister with anyone. She is a part of me and she will always be a part of me.
Chakotay stood next to Kathryn. "Greg once you meet a Janeway you are always with her. It was that way with Kathryn and I, and I think it will be the same for you." Actually," His words were cut short by something that caught his eye. He turned to see an animal running toward the forest. He dismissed it for a moment, until he heard the animal howl.
He immediately turned to Kathryn. "Kathryn do you remember where that cabin was in your dream that you had last night?"
"Chakotay that was 40 years ago, I'm sure that it was destroyed years ago."
"Do you remember where it is Kathryn?" She was about to answer him when he ran back to the house.
Greg and Kathryn followed him. Greg was puzzled by his behavior. "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Chakotay turned to Greg. "I have this feeling that something isn't right. I have to find that cabin."
"Well I am going with you, when do you want to leave?"
"As soon as possible."
"I should be able to be ready in ten minutes." He ran to the spare room to get his things."
Kathryn took Chakotay's hand. "I'm coming with you too Chakotay." He turned and smiled at Kathryn.
"Of course you are I can't do this alone."
Kathryn shoved a phaser in her side pocket and turned to Chakotay. "Whatever happens Chakotay, we will always be together."
Chakotay went over and gave her a small kiss on her lips. "Sounds like you have been listening 2 to many ancient legends." She smiled as he held her close. Greg appeared and they all left the house together.

Seven took her stick and banged it along the cage. Pheobe sat on the bed inside the cage and glared at her.
"Pheobe I know this is hard for you, but you are going to stay here until the day you die, so the least you can do is be friends with me."
Pheobe smiled. "I would rather die then ever be friends with you Seven."
Seven laughed. "That can be arranged if you wish."
Pheobe rolled her eyes at Seven. "Whatever Seven, I know you are afraid of me, it's not the other way around."
That got Seven's attention. "You must be suffering from dehydration; I could have sworn you said I was afraid of you. A Borg is afraid of nothing."
Pheobe chuckled. "Except for being alone. Drones hate to be alone. That's one of the reasons that you won't kill me."
Seven stomped her foot, and shook the cage, trying to get a response out of Pheobe. Pheobe remained still and quiet. Pheobe was never Starfleet but she could have been.
The three of them had been hiking for hours. Chakotay had decided that it was time to take a break, so they all sat down for a second and ate some of the food that they had brought.
Chakotay looked at the trees around him, while he chewed on some crackers. Kathryn stared at him, thinking about the first time that she had laid eyes on him. He had aged a bit, but he was still her Chakotay.
Greg interrupted her thoughts. "Kathryn what exactly are we looking for other than an old cabin?"
Kathryn looked at Greg, took his hand and spoke. "Hope Greg, we are looking for Hope." Greg was puzzled.
Chakotay turned to Kathryn and smiled. "Ready to get going you two?"
