Fora nervously looked around. That encounter with...Dr. Cliste was a little nerve racking. "Apollo! He HAS to be him…he looks so much like him. Acts so much like him!" Fora said jolting up wreaking her sheets. "Whoa, Calm down." He said getting up and tucking her back in to the bed.
"It wasn't him; his name is Dr. Cam Cliste. He has no relationship with Thoth." He said. Fora misinterpreted what 'relationship' meant and shook her head quickly. "No duh, Thoth isn't gay Apollo." The sun god sighed. "You're tired Fora, you need to go to sleep. You have a MRI tomorrow and another blood test."
Fora looked at him, he gave a look back. "Do you want me to make you go to sleep?" He asked. She sighed and snuggled back into the covers. "You know, Thoth…was…." She never finished the sentence. Sleep over took her. Apollo smiled, and then frowned as a thought swept into his mind. "The flash backs are getting worse, aren't they…its wearing on you…" He said sweeping a bit of her hair from her face.
This wasn't a memory, was Fora's first thought, or a dream. The air around her was grey-ish smoke. It covered up the scenery that was probably once beautiful. "Confusion is the first key to being a part of the human race." A voice said. It had no tone but she somehow could tell it was a girl. The voice changed to an old man's, "But, you must never be a mortal. Their fatal flaws will be the end of you."
"What the hell?" Fora said out loud. There was a pounding on her back, more like a tapping. She turned, Matt was looking at her. His face happy and smiling. "Hey….Did you know you," He face turned different, a skeleton face, no skin or flesh of any type. "You killed me." The evil Matt attacked her with clawed hands and she screamed….
"FORA! WAKE UP!" Apollo was sleeping lightly when he suddenly heard screaming. Fora's eyes opened, she felt her body. No scar marks where there. She started to sob. Apollo held her, rubbing her back slowly. "Shh, it was only a dream….shhhh…" Fora looked at him with red ringed eyes.
"It...it…." Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes. Apollo looked at her. "Was it a dream or a memory?" He asked. Fora tensioned, gripping his shirt that was soaked on one side from her tears. "Neither…" She whispered to him.
"Neither…hm.." He mused as he engulfed her in a hug. She lay on his chest. "Do you mind telling me what happened?" She did. Although it was in choked and muted a little by the tears he got the point. "Why Matt? I wonder what is so special about him."
Fora shrugged, she always felt that Apollo was a very close brother than best friend. He helped her through, since Artemis wasn't very good at comforting and Hermes would…just not know what to do. He would probably be a little in shock since she was in the Huntresses so much. "I don't know…" She muttered. Apollo kissed her head, "Just go back to sleep, I've got you." He muttered into her ear. She nodded and closed her eyes.
For her, it was nice and she fell into the sleep quickly. This time it was dreamless. Apollo on the other hand staid up, wondering what was happening to his beloved friend. He felt like she was his second sister. Although Hermes would disagree a bit, she spent a little more time with both Artemis and Apollo since they helped her. Well, Artemis helped her. "What are we going to do with you Fora…"

The MRI was very confusing of what the doctors explained a lot of VERY long words. Finally one doctor explained it better. "Now, we are going to put you into this machine and it's going to use magnets to send radio waves through your body and send a picture back. We are going to check if you have, let's say, tumors or anything that can cause these…hallucinations. It will take at the most 30 minutes." Doctor Sawn said. She was next to the big machine. Fora held tightly to Apollo's hand. She had to be going crazy….she just had to….
"Now Fora, can you please lay down in here?" She asked. Fora looked at Apollo, who nodded, and went to the bed thing. Laying down the Doctor Swan adjusted the head holder. "That's good, now were going to send you in, in a few minutes. Just stay perfectly still, Okay?" Fora nodded and waited. "You okay Fora?" The immortal god asked over the intercom. "Yeah, I'm alright. A little cold though,"
"It's perfectly fine, just stay still." She did. The big magnet started and the noise was very loud. She waited, and waited, and waited….but something, of course, didn't go right.
So, chapter 11 for ya. Hope you like it! -Livi
