Anxious:Tuesday Morning Clinic

Maia sat looking around, she was not sure when she would 'see' Tara. I am going to see her, she's going to be here. Maia's heart raced with anticipation, they were going to get her out, Tara and Dr. Wilson to. She would not be alone anymore. Maia hugged her knees to keep warm, her curly hair falling into her eyes. She remembered crying waiting for Diana to come get her from the hospital room when the doctors had left her alone for hours in quarantine. They will send you back to quarantine Maia. You won't get to stay at school The voice was back, Maia clenched her teeth and covered her ears. They won't save you Maia. Tara is going to be trapped here along with you. Maia turned her head away from the voice and hugged herself tighter. You won't see her when she's trapped here, you'll still be alone. Does Tara know that? Does she know you'll never leave here now? Maia shook her head and fought back tears.

Phoebe was really not enjoying this travelling through screams. It tore at her that Maia was being tormented by all of this. She ran towards the screams, trying to ignore the headache she was going to have later.

"Your here." Maia seemed to melt. Maia moved slowly from behind the bed. "I'm here Tara, Phoebe. I'm here." The darkness seemed to ease up a bit or maybe Maia had been there so long her eyes had adjusted, she saw movements coming towards her.

((A little Godmoding is going to have to happen here guys as far as positions of the players etc.. is everyone cool with that? saying where a player is etc..? Officially *smiles* ))

((Works for me, hun))

"We're here," Tara repeats, hearing movement beside her and hoping that it was Phoebe and not something else. "Keep talking, Maia. I'm almost there."

((good by me, it's your head))

The light in the corner moved closer to Maia casting an greyish glow around the room. "I'm right here Tara." A small figure stepped out from behind the bed, her hair was a mess of curls, she wore a dress that didnt reach her knees and a thin sweater. The room was so cold you could see your breath. An eight year old Maia stood looking up at Tara as she approached. Maia's eyes seemed to huge for her face, she had an almost elfish appearance, everything on her was tiny except for her eyes. She seemed almost a child of five and not eight.

"Maia!" Tara cries out in relief. Intellectually she knew she would find an eight year old Maia, but the reality is startling. She kneels down in front of the child and holds out her arms, offering a hug.

Maia is frozen staring at Tara. "Tara? Its really you." Maia takes a step forward, the light to her left moves as well. Maia stops and looks at it with fear over her shoulder and then runs into Tara's arms. Her little arms clasp around Tara's neck. "You found me" Maia starts to cry. The light that Maia is so scared of, hovers closer growing brighter, the long fluid arms are visiable just in the center of the light.

Phoebe is a little shocked at Maia's appearance, but for right now, she's just happy she can see her clearly. "Maia?" She sees the light thing out of the corner of her eye and she turns to face it, putting herself between Tara and Maia and the light.

Noticing Phoebe's movement, Tara turns her head to look. "Allison?" she asks, hoping rather than believing it was her new friend.

[ooc: Allison, here's your cue. Jump on in!]

Maia reaches for Phoebe's hand and stands up. "Thats it. Thats what took me." The light seemed almost like liquid hovering, it got smaller and directed itself into Phoebe's vision now. Maia looked up at Phoebe "Don't look at it." Maia trembled. "That's what took me." Maia tugged at Phoebe's hand. Shawn screamed Maia's name. Maia let go of Phoebe's hand and turned towards Shawn her face stricken at the sight of Shawn in pain.

Phoebe grabbed for Maia again and held her close. "It's not real, love."

"This has already happened," Tara reminds her. "Years and years ago. You don't belong here now."

Maia looked around the room then back at Phoebe and Tara. "How did that thing get in here with me. Was it here then as well?" Maia looked around, the voice that had been tormenting her was silent. No more screaming of witches not saving her, laughing telling her she would be trapped. "It, it said your going to be trapped with me." Maia's eyes blured with tears looking around at the room that never seemed to end. "How do I get out?" Maia's voice cracked.

"You're going to follow us home," Tara replies, squeezing Maia with one arm. "We're in a chain."

((unfortunately, husband has just come and declared that it is bedtime. He's right. As much as I'd love to stay and play, I gotta go sleep. Can we have Tara lead the chain out, and anything dramatic happen afterwards?))

Maia held fast to Tara. "Its that easy?"

(( you can lead them out. I don't mind and yes dramatic can happen afterwards. Thank you again for everything you do. ))

Tara laughs. "We've planned for the worst, honey, but we're hoping for the best." She looks behind her, searching out the silver cord that attaches her spirit to her body through the astral plane. Taking Maia's hand, and nodding at Phoebe to take the other, she squares her shoulders. "We're just going to walk right out of here."

"Maia it's Allison, can you hear me?" Allison asks, it's very strange being in someone else's head but she knew that Maia needed all of the help she could get.

Maia backed away. "Yes. Who are you?" Maia was not sure if Phoebe and Tara heard it as well. Maia's heart pounded, was this voice the one that had been hurting her, the light that took her?

"I'm a friend honey, Tara thought I might be able to help...you see I see things too, I have dreams and visions and the dead speak to me. Don't be afraid, I want to get you out of here."

Maia looked up at Tara. "You see like me? Did they take you to?" Maia held fast to Tara's hand watching to see if Tara trusted what she was hearing the voice say.

((are you just a light or does Maia see your figure like she sees Tara and Phoebe?))

(I think my figure but Im not sure)

"No...I just started seeing when I was about 17. I was at a friends house and we were playing with a spirit board. A man was there but he really wasnt and he told me something would happen to my friend when she went to California..." Allison explained. "This thing can't hurt you sweetie, not if you don't give it the power to."

Maia stepped towards Allison, still holding Tara's head. Maia peered closely into Allison's eyes and saw she could trust her. "Your going to help us?" Maia looked relieved. "Thank you."

"yes honey, I'm going to help. But first...whatever this thing holding you is...it can be beaten, don't give it power by fearing it, okay?" Allison suggests.

Paige follows them, looking around "what do we do?"
