With thoughts of the mysterious package, The Library, River Song, etc... still on her mind a tired Jaime went to bed. She slept and dreamed...and then she found herself in the hospital her mum was stuck in. Only she wasn't in the bed anymore. It was empty but slept in.
Two nurses stood next to the bed and one was talking to a group of Officials. There were four of them around the bed and she couldn't hear what they were saying so she moved closer. "...what do you mean you 'lost her'? You can't lose somebody in a mental hospital." What happened? Did she escape? Jaime wondered. "Well she did." The nurse said. "One minute she was there, the next she wasn't. We looked all over the place, and yes, this is a secure unit." One of the Officials groaned in frustration. "We've been searching for this woman and her daughter for years. And you go and lose her." She was confused. Who were these people who wanted her? Or even her mum? Whoever they were scared her very much. "And how did Alexia MacInarah manage to end up in this place?" The first Official asked. "She was found on Roald Dahl Plass screaming about her daughter disappearing right in front of her eyes apparently. She was diagnosed with paranoid Schizophrenia. And it normally gets worse when she talks to her dead Daughter."
Jaime scowled angrily at the scene. How could they treat her mum like a deranged mentalist? Why were they so adamant that she wasn't alive? "Her daughter isn't dead," the third Official spoke up. "There was a mistake at the hospital." He almost sounded conspiratorial. "We were hoping she would tell us where she hid the child." "But I didn't hide anywhere!" Jaime mumbled and let out a fearful gasp when two of the officials looked her way. Could they see her? Surely they couldn't HEAR her?
"Hello!" One of them said, confirming her fear. "I didn't see you there." "What can you see?" One of the Officials who couldn't see her, asked. "It's the girl." The one who could see her replied. "She's projecting." They knew what she was doing? Who were they? "Hello! Jaime, isn't it?" He crouched in front of her while the others hurried the nurses away. "My god, you have grown haven't you! I can remember when you were just three years old." This man knew her. All four of them knew her, yet she could sense they were not nice. She couldn't trust them...at all. "Now I know you're asleep but you can tell us where you're hiding can't you. After all, you're a very special girl. You can change this world for the better." No, they were definitely bad. They knew what she could do and they wanted to use her. With a frightened whimper Jaime backed away from them, wanting to wake up. "Oh no, no you don't." He caught her arm and it hurt her. Why was that happening? "Or we can just make you come with us!" The other one who could see her also grabbed her arm and the pain she got was so bad that she screamed.
In a different Universe, in her bed, on the TARDIS, Jaime was screaming as if she was having a nightmare. Yet it sounded like she was in pain. The first person to get to her was the Doctor. He noticed she was barely moving and there was a noisy rattle in her room as things were shaking. It wasn't unusual for something like that to happen so he went to Jaime to comfort her. "It's okay Jaime, calm down...it's only a bad dream, that's all." "She sounds like she's in pain." The Doctor looked around to see that he'd been joined by Rose. "Is somebody hurting her?" "Probably. She's just having a bad dream." He told her as the Time Lord continued to soothe her until John came running into the room in a panic. "What's going on?" He shouted. "What the hell is going on?" "I don't know!" The Doctor replied. It was then that Rose noticed something odd. "Doctors...is that supposed to happen?" She pointed at Jaime. They saw that the teenager was turning translucent, slowly fading. "Oh no, no...that's not good." He took his Sonic out and scanned her. "It's impossible! Seriously not possible." "What?" "It's like something is literally dragging her out of this Universe." "She's projecting isn't she?" John asked and the Doctor nodded grimly. "Can you do something?" Rose worried. "Just you watch!" The Doctor replied, changed a setting and pointed it at a sleeping screaming Jaime.
About a minute later he grunted. "Something wrong?" Rose was heard to ask. "Whoever or whatever is doing this has some crazy power. It's too much for a Sonic to handle. I'm losing her!" Eyes wide John stepped forward. "What setting are you using?" "229-B." John changed the setting on his own Sonic and pointed it at Jaime. Within minutes she was back in full form but Rose could swear she could see two ghosts around the teenager. "Can you two see that?" She asked the two Doctors. "See what?" John muttered, his full concentration on Jaime. "I'm not sure but..." The lights in the room flickered weirdly and then the screams of two men echoed around the room. The Doctor and John glanced at each other, feeling the atmosphere in the room change. As for Jaime she finally woke up, sat up and practically sobbed out a bunch of 'No's'. "It's okay, you're awake now!" John soothed, now sat with the sobbing teen. She could feel a scary presence in the room and when she looked around she spotted Rose...and screamed in fright. "What?" The Doctors looked at Rose and saw that her eyes were glowing. "They will never touch you again!" Bad Wolf said through Rose and the glow faded. The Doctor caught her before she could fall and they sat on the bed. "Woah! What was that?" Rose mumbled, shaking her head. "Bad Wolf." The Doctor replied and looked at Jaime who was snuggled as close as she could be to John. Rose didn't realise Jaime was awake now. When had that happened?
"What happened?" The Time Lord asked her but John scowled at him. "Give her some time Spaceman!" John snapped, letting his inner Donna get the better of him. "She just went through two shocks in the space of a few seconds and I don't know why she reacted to Rose's weird Bad Wolf moment." "Alright, I was only asking." But he did explain why Jaime reacted so badly to Bad Wolf.
It was nearly an hour later before she finally did calm down and even though she was tired she was fighting to stay awake. "Mam's not in hospital anymore!" She mumbled, thankful for John's close comfort. "Sorry?" That sounded like the Doctor, or was it John? "Mam's gone, she's not there anymore." Jaime repeated. "Oh! Well maybe she escaped." Only Jaime shook her head and winced when she did so. Her head was aching really badly. "They said she just disappeared and she's not anywhere." "Who? Who's 'they'? And how did she randomly disappear?" The Doctor sounded incredulous. "The nurses. They said it to the bad men." "What bad men, sweetheart?" It was John and he sounded worried. All three of them had heard her say similar words when she was regressed. "They said they knew me." "They knew you?" The Doctor sounded astounded. "No. I doubt they do." "Ever since I was three," she mumbled...then her eyes widened and she panicked. "They even knew what I can do!" "Do they? Who do you think they might be?" The Doctor asked all too normally and she frowned at him with suspicion. John shook his head and Rose punched the Time Lord. Yelping he wondered what he'd done. "No...why would they know me if I don't know them. How would they even know what I can do. They said I was special and I could change the world for the better." "Nah, doubt they were telling the truth."
Jaime shook her head. "There were four of them and only two could see me. When they touched me they felt like me...different...and they wanted to drag me from my 'hiding place'...and it hurt." She sobbed again. "They hurt me really badly and I didn't even know who they were." She started crying again and John hugged her protectively. "It kinda explains the ghosts," Rose said. "If they're like Jaime does that mean they could be in our Universe?" "I hope not!" John growled and Rose could see a mini version of the Oncoming Storm in his eyes. "Probably not. Whatever Bad Wolf did to them they'll either be stuck in the Void or trapped on the astral plane. That's what most ghosts are. Just people trapped. "Or Cybermen!" Rose muttered and shivered so much that the Doctor hugged her. Jaime was terrified of going back to sleep so she got out of bed and they had an early breakfast.
