I followed him, but kept my attention on the vampire. There was no way I was going to be turning my back to her any time soon.

He lead the girls towards the rooms holding the patients, noting the tension. "Do I have to sit you two in corners if you misbehave?" he joked. "alright, here's the deal. According to the paper, most of the victims mentions some kind of nightmares. Does that sound familiar," he looked at Maya askingly, wanting to see if the connection ran true.

"Actually, part of me is enjoying this," she grinned, but mentally kept track of where the slayer Maya was. While part of her found it amusing, the other part of her knew if the slayer decided she was a threat... Never would she stand to be so close a vampire without staking it so she could only imagine the thoughts going through Maya's head.

I thought about what he said... and although it had felt to me as though I had snapped directly from the alley to the apartment, I also had a vague memory of other flashes, other images from my past... Had I been dreaming? I frowned, nodding slowly,
"Possibly..." I replied, "I think I dreamt about memories... things from my past.... only... some of them... maybe some were memories that I dont have anymore...? The last thing I remember before waking up wasn't a dream though... it was real. It was the last thing I can remember happening before..." I shrugged, looking around, "All this shit." I shook my head, not quite able to make it add up. "It was happening, and then I woke up in that apartment... but somehow I can also remember dreams before that... ugh... my brain cant handle this..."

Memories she didn't have anymore? Could that be... Don't go there, Jackson. Any chance she might remember her real family is pretty much non-existent. Take what you can. "Any specifics?" He asked outloud. "same with you, Annie. And I'm glad someone find some amusement in all this," he added as they approached one of the rooms. "You two stay out here. Try and figure out something from the dreams. Uh, on second thoughts..." he added. Leaving Maya out here with Rogue was probably not smart right now. "Which one of you wants to come in?"

I thought about the dreams... or what I remembered... the seafront, the blood soaked room, the club I remembered but had never been to, and the girl... who now I thought about it I knew was a slayer, though I had no idea how I knew that.... and I realised that none of these were memories, past present or future, that I wanted to share with these strangers.
"It's all a bit fuzzy." I lied, "Nothing quite adds up." I couldn't meet his eyes. "I'll come in if you like." I didn't like the idea of standing alone out here with my thoughts. Plus the idea of the vampire in there with vulnerable people wasn't pleasant.

"Alright," he said, walking into the room. The person within seemed freaked. Scratch that, they were down right terrified. Can't blame them. "It's okay, we're not going to hurt you."
"Do you know me?" the person asked pitifully. "I just... I don't know. I don't remember anything..."
"that's why we're here," he said. "We're trying to figure out what happened and fix it," he squatted next to the bed, trying to be as reassuring as possible. "Do you remember anything at all that might be pertinent? Drams, meeting someone...? Anything?"

"No." The patient insisted, shaking his head, "I was just walking along with Marian, we had been to the theatre for our anniversary..." He got this dreamy, distance look in his eyes as he spoke of her, but it was full of deep set grief too... "These men appeared out of nowhere... they had guns... I told them they could take everything, but one of them was jumpy... he... he... oh god he shot her... he shot her and they ran away and she was bleeding in my arms and I was screaming and screaming for help... and then I just woke up, in our apartment, yesterday, and I find out that Marian has been DEAD for ten years... I... I dont remember her funeral... I dont remember anything... I dont... how...?" He was pretty much imploding before our eyes, but Doc and I exchanged a significant look... the him of the present was dreaming about his past, and that was the last thing he remembered... just like me.

"We don't know yet," Doc said, his mine whirling. Bad memories, traumatic esperiances... Was the the key? He needed more info, more keywords if they were going to find this creep. "But I promise you, I will figure this out."

I observed Doc as he talked to the patient. He seemed... disturbed by what he had said, and genuinely concerned.
Hes a good guy. Some part of me said, while others told it to shut up, you dont know that. You dont KNOW anything, thats kinda the point, just go with it and dont for gods sake let your guard down!
Then I had a thought,
"I dont suppose...." I said slowly, "Did you see any guys in long dark cloaks, gross faces...?" The guy looked at me blankly, clearly thinking I was bonkers. He shook his head, and I grimaced... Hey, it was worth a shot.

Long dark cloaks? Gross faces? Hello clue.
Doc nodded to the patient, gesturing at Maya to follow him out of the room. This could be something. "Is that the last thing you remember?" he asked quietly. The guy had spoken about the last thing he remembered, a tragic incident of losing someone precious to him. "did they take someone from you?" A clue, something to grasp onto. He'd have to check with Annie.

I fought to keep my face stoney... did he know something? How could he? Why was he asking me about... but of I knew the logical explanation was that this was a connection with the patient...
"Yes." I replied, quietly, but my voice held strong. They killed him and I ran away and left him to save myself. That part I didn't say outloud. If it was truly 7 years later then how come it still hurt so much?

"I think we have it," he said as they exited the room. "I'll have to run the key words by Mal, but I do believe I may have something. Anne," he looked at the Slayer trapped in a vampire body, a slight gleam in his eye. "The last thing you remember, did you loose someone or something important to you?"

"I..." she stopped. "A potential. Caddie was ordered to retrieve a potential and it took us a few months to find her. She was a pain, didn't listen to anything either Caddie or I would say. I was training her as we traveled back to the council's location. There was a complication and Henry took her. He doesn't have a good reputation on keeping people alive and I... I didn't handle it well." One of them knocked her out, she wasn't sure which. She didn't even know if her young friend was alive."

"Hello connection," Doc said with a grin. "Ladies, gather 'round. I think we may just have cracked this sucker wide open. And completely by accident," he nodded, running through the facts. "Our demon attacks while you sleep. He then drags you back to one of your worse moments that you can remember. Not sure how he zero's in on particular points, but now," he looked at them both. "We have leads. Back to the Planet Library, girls. Time for the Walking Google Search to do his thing."
