Anna walked into Daniel's office and saw him looking at a photo then pasting it to the wall, "Halloo."
"Hi," He looked up quickly and stepped toward her, "How'd everything check out?"
She shrugged, "Ah you know, my brain is holding some sort of knowledge or something, no big deal."
"What?" Daniel's expression became grave.
"My brain apparently looks like Jack's brain when he had the Ancients Knowledge." She explained
"Is there anything they can do?"
"Nope, the only thing we can do is translate these walls." She tried to pass by him to get started, but he stopped her.
"Anna." His hands landed on her shoulders and he stared at her intently, "How are you feeling about all this?"
She lowered her head and sighed, "I don't know…I just feel like…I'm just confused."
"Is that all?" He smiled reassuringly.
"No, but I'd rather not discuss this further here." She looked up at him.
He eyed her cautiously, "Alright, but we'll talk later?"
She smiled and stepped past him, "Thank you for caring."
"That didn't answer my question?" He protested and looked at her.
She stopped in front of the first set of pictures, "We'll talk, I promise."
"Anna!"
"Daniel please!" She turned to him and raised her hands to the pictures, "What do you want me to tell you? That I'm scared out of my mind because these pictures, these walls might not hold the answer. That, that scan of my brain makes me think that I'm going to die."
She stepped to him, "What? What do you want me to tell you?"
He turned and shut the door, so that the rest of the world wouldn't here them. Then slowly her turned back to her, "I know you're scared and it's not fair that you have to go through all of this."
"Then let me work, let me take my mind off of being scared and let me figure things out." She pleaded.
"No I can't let you do it this time."
"Daniel you can't-"
He interrupted still keeping calm, "I can, and I am. I don't usually use my professional standing, ever, but for you I'll make an exception."
"Daniel!"
"Anna please understand!" He continued, "I want to help you, and I want you to help me do that, but you need to think straight. Now you've just been told some news that might alter that."
"Daniel?"
"You need to help them first." He told her.
"What?" She looked at him strangely.
"We need your help." Anna turned around and stared at her parents. They looked at her calmly.
"You're not my parents." She looked back seeing that Daniel was gone.
Her father shook his head, "No, no we're not. We're sorry to have deceived you so long. I am Rogir and this is Amielle."
Anna stared at them for a long time, "What do you want from me?"
Amielle stepped forward and smiled, "There has been an unfortunate mistake in our part. We were waiting for one of the natives on Gelsolmen, but since being in your mind we have discovered the people there are long gone."
"But I touched the device…" Anna stared at her.
"Yes we thought you were the Key, so, we concluded that it was alright for you to face your conflict." Amielle explained.
"Conflict?" Anna looked confused.
Rogir sighed, "There is so much to explain little one, but no time to reveal all to you."
"Right…right." Anna nodded, "Just tell me what to do?"
"The answer is somewhere far from here." They both looked at each other with concern.
Anna looked from both of them, "You…you don't know how where to go do you?"
"We've been here too long, we are beginning to forget…" Rogir explained, "And though your resistance to the demons power, much of our history was erased during that time."
"So, are you telling me that an entire people is in my mind?" They nodded, "Why did you wait tell now to talk to me?"
"It is something to do with this machine you are in."
The MRI...everything had been a dream a figment of her imagination. Anna ran her hand through her hair.
"Please you must help us, or we'll all die." They pleaded with her, "As will you."
A humming noise, bright lights, claustrophobia all add up to MRI machine.
"Get me out!" She shouted to the doctors.
"Is something wrong?" They asked her stupidly.
"Yes! Get me out!" Anna was starting to squirm.
"You heard her, get her out, that's an order." Oh thank God for Uncle Jack.
