Dom sighed as he looked around the room; just being here made him miss Brea even more. He was waiting for the rest of the group to finish getting their stuff packed and Rebekah and Kel to snag food from the kitchens. A quiet knock roused him from the walk down memory lane and he sighed.

"Come in." He called out and a very sleepy, grumpy, and downright agitated Julianna walked in. "What do you want?"

"I...I just came to talk to you." Julianna murmured and leaned against the door fidgetting slightly.

"Well, talk." Dom demanded, staring down at Julianna, he felt this was her fault, because if she hadn't forced Brea to go back into the fort, she would be here and he wouldn't be about ready to risk his career and everything else to go find the woman he loved.

"I have to confess to something...it's hard to say." Julianna was staring at the ground; thats when Dom noticed that she was very nervous about something and she didn't look like she had been to sleep in days. "It's about Brea." That got Dom's attention, but then an awkward silence fell.

"Are you going to tell me or what? I can't wait all day." He snapped, glaring at Julianna.

"In...in the fort...when Brea and I went back in." Julianna paused, her bottom lip quivering, Dom was going to hate her. "She fell through a hole in the catwalk...and...and begged for my help. I didn't assist her. I...I let her fall and she hit her head. That was when I dragged her body in the woods and left her for dead."

Dom couldn't believe what he was hearing. He could actually feel the anger boiling up inside of him and he could only imagine what his face looked like. Closing his eyes, he balled his shaking hands up into fists and took a few deep breaths to try and calm himself down. It didn't work.

"Why?" He demanded, straining for his voice to be calm.

"I...I don't know. Can I plead temporary insanity?" Julianna asked with a watery chuckle. Bad move.

"You think this is funny?" Dom practically shouted at the top of his lungs. "You tried to kill her! I know you well to know that you would have given anything to see her dead!"

"Dom! That's not true..." Julianna argued weakly, but she knew in her heart it was very very true.

"That's a lie and you know it!" He shouted back and growled, tugging at his hair in frustration. "She was pregnant! We were going to get married and you screwed that up!" Dom grabbed his saddlebags and walked past her, yanking open the door. "All I'm saying, is you better pray to the Gods that we find her. Or I will go to the king about this. Traitor." With that said, he slammed the door shut and walked towards the stables.Leaving Julianna to her thoughts and tears.

Lord Alexander of Augustana, which was a fief situated on the outer edges of the Tortallan realm sighed as he inspected the young soldier. He was only half-listening to what the man was saying as he would rather be asleep at the moment. It was about the girl he had found four days past in the woods that seperated them from Tortall.

"She is suffering from memory loss?" Alexander asked, since that was the only part he had really heard. "How? Does Roberto know?"

"Yes sir, he thinks that it has to do with the bump on the back of her head." Gabriel started and then coughed. "He thinks it could have been from a fall or something of that sort."

"So that means that she can not remember anything?" Alexander asked once more, just to clarify that he understood everything.

"That is correct, sir."

"Does Roberto have any idea how long it will take her to recover from this."

"Well, he said that it could be anywhere from a few months to years even."

"Hmm..." Alexander tapped his chin in thought and was suddenly struck with a brilliant plan. "Tell the girl nothing of what has happened; inform her that her name is Hadley and she will live with us. Just until her memory comes back, that is."

"Yes sir."

"Lets just hope that Roberto hasn't already told her. Now go, I have to inform Isabelle and the children about this."

"Good day, sir." Gabriel bowed and then turned on his heel, starting out of the room, before heading for the Healers wing. Hopefully the girl would be awake by now.

----

"He wants us to do what?!" Demanded Roberto in a harsh whisper as they were standing in the girls room. What would make Alexander do such a thing? This girl belonged with her family, not at all here.

"It's Lord Alexander's orders." Gabriel replied and cast a glance at the girl, who was asleep, curled up in a ball on the bed.

"Did you at least tell him that she was pregnant?"

"Well, I did, but I doubt he was listening. I do not agree with his orders either, because this sounds all wr-" A moan from their right drew both mens attention.

"Hadley! Your awake! It's good to know you are alright." Roberto plastered a big smile across his face and sat down on a stool beside the bed.

"Hadley? Is...is that my name?" She asked, forcing herself to sit up, putting a hand to her stomach. It didn't sound like her name, but this man must know...right?

"Of course it is." Gabriel replied, coming forward as well.

"What happened to me?" Hadley asked, putting a hand to her head as it gave a painful throb. As she was to concerned with the pounding headache, she gave no notice to the anxious looks that were cast between the two men.

"We are not sure at the moment. Gabriel found you in the woods and you were unconcious." Replied the healer, passing her a cup of tea. "Drink this, it will take care of your headache."

"Thank you." Hadley murmured quietly and sipped it gently. "What are your names?"

"I'm am Roberto and this is Gabriel." He told her smiling and folding his hands in his lap. "It seems that whatever happened to you in the forest has caused some sort of memory loss, but do not fear. We have hopes that you will soon recover all of your memories."

"So...so I will be okay?" She asked, feeling her headache eased.

"Yes, you will be fine." Roberto assured her, patting her hand.

"Good." Hadley passed the teacup back to Roberto and laid back down on the bed. "I think I'm going to go back to sleep."

"Alright Hadley." Roberto replied and pulled the blanket around her, then tugged Gabriel from the room as she started to fall asleep. "I told you. I do not want to do this. Its just not right...not one single bit. That girl does not belong here. We should be figuring out where she came from, not lying to her."

"I understand Roberto, but this is not easy for me either. Obviously, the girl left behind a person she loved, who she was going to have children with." Gabriel replied and shook his head. "When she wakes up, we will tell her the truth and ask her to play along. You and me can search for wherever this girl came from."

"I'm putting my trust in you Gabriel, to get this girl home." Roberto retorted, before turning and walking into another patients room. Great, this was working out perfectly.
