~~ A "What if"~~
"What if" It wasn't Miles that showed up in the hangar with me…
I silently wondered why I was being brought into the hangar. I obviously wasn't anybody special, and definitely not the main character of the movies.
'Nope, not gonna happen.' I thought to myself, I was more than happy being a background character. Someone who is away from the danger. Being alive (for a second time) was very nice feeling with the majority of my memories from my past life locked up nice and tight.
Mikaela slammed into me, and we ended up bantering for a few minutes before she hauled herself up and dragged me with her into a different room.
Three familiar faces were standing around talking, the smaller one (who was still taller than me by a good head) turned towards the newcomers. Five familiar letters where printed on her bare collar bone.
I smiled at her, but it probably came out as more of a grimace. Her face lit up in malicious delight, and she pointed me out to the other two that were with her. The couple turned around, smiled at me, waved and went back to talking.
Memories from a different time and a different place, memories that I've worked so hard to repress, memories that he helped me repress, were beginning to resurface.
"Ochen' khorosho ... Zavershit' yego" The last words that I remember hearing kept echoing around my mind as my emotions were set to default mode.
Out of habit (mostly so I wouldn't get separated while we were shopping) I latched onto 'Kaela and attempted to hide behind her. This day… was not going to be fun.
"'Kaela, I don't feel good." I guess I must've really looked like shit because she looked really worried. Leaning over a bit, she whispered something to Lennox and she took me lead me out of the room.
"It's okay, Alice. You'll feel better soon. I'm just gonna take you home now, okay?"
I halfheartedly mumbled out an okay, and felt a faint hint of disappointment that was definitely not mine as I let my cousin manhandle me.
A short filler as to what could have been different if i went with my original route that I couldn't really flesh out. Theirs actually a couple reasons why i didn't do it this way: 1) I don't know how to fill out the major plot hole 2) I wouldn't be able to figure out how to continue from that point...
And yes, she had a (by my standards) Mary Sue past life, it might come into play later if I decide to let her have her memories back. Which would mean a lot of mental and emotional patching up on her part.
If anyone is interested in a small fact about me, Alice is actually taller than me by an inch or so.
