“Demons”

SnLt. Lawliet

 

“It’s been awhile, although this is the first time we’ve meet like this.”

 

Opening his eyes, Lawliet found Guinan sitting across the room. He realized he’d been asleep and immediately recalled everything that happened with Doctor Pavilion and Counselor Davis. As he stood up, his senses told him that something was wrong.

 

“Guinan, how can you be here? I thought you left the station after the attack?” Lawliet asked.

 

Offering the vacant seat next to her, Lawliet cautiously walks across the bedroom and sits down. As he looked into her eyes, he knew the truth.

 

“Your not Guinan…I mean, you are Guinan. It’s just -“.

 

“This is the first time we’ve meet like this.” interrupted Guinan.

 

Knowing he was awake, Lawliet looked around…trying to make sense of what’s happening. He struggles for a moment and decides to keep the conversation going.

 

“What happened with Doctor Pavilion and Counselor Davis?” Lawliet asked.

 

“They let several hours ago, but I must say…I didn’t I’d ever see this side of you again. You’ve been alone for a long time.” Guinan noted.

 

The space around them shined with a radiant glow as the scenes that transpired earlier began replaying themselves. Lawliet froze as he realizes what’s happening.

 

“Guinan.” spoke Lawliet.

 

“Yes.” replied Guinan.

 

He didn’t even have to ask; he knew that she had just answered his question. Somehow, Lawliet was able to recall memories…in detail. He was listening and moving around as if it scene being played out on the holodeck.

 

“You should be fine for the moment, but I must warn you that time is running out…” warned Guinan, “…the Demons are retuning.”

 

In an instant, Lawliet was alone again.
