Chapter 1
"She's awake" she hears a voice say. Slowly she opens
her eyes to find a blonde haired woman wearing a white doctors coat beside the
bed.
"Where am I?" she asks groggily
The woman doctor begins to talk slow "You are in
Liberation Headquarters. I am Dr. Park. Do you know your name?"
She frowns thoughtfully then answers "No I can't remember
my name"
"Just what I thought." Dr Park muses she turns away
from the bed. "She has amnesia" she says to some one
"Is she going to be OK?" as man asks his voice filled
with concern
Slowly she sits up in the bed and looks around. Her eyes fall
upon the man who had spoken. He's tall with brown hair streaked with blond. His
eyes she notices are a beautiful blue grey. She is struck with a sense of
familiarity "Have we met?" she asks curiously
"No we haven't. My name is Liam Kincaid" he says
walking closer to the bed
"How did I get here?" she asks
"I brought you here" Liam answers
"Why?" she demands
Liam pulls up a chair next to the bed "I found you outside
my apartment building. You begged me not to take you to the hospital"
"Did I say why?" she asks with a frown
"No you didn't"
"Oh" she remarks.
Just then the door opens and in walks a tall blonde haired
woman with blue eyes "Hello" she greets "I'm glad to your
awake" she says "I'm Renee Palmer. I work with Liam."
"Hi" she greets shyly
"So what are we going to call you?" Renee asks
"Dunno" she shrugs with a frown "Got any
suggestions?" she asks
"How about Laura" suggests Renee
"Hmm?" she says thoughtfully then scrunches her nose
in disgust "Nah too common"
Liam's eyes brighten then he says "Katherine"
"Katherine" she breathes thoughtfully. She then
smiles "Kat"
"Good then Kat it is" Renee says smiling. She looks
at Liam "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Liam nods "We'll come back later" Liam says with a
smile
Kat smiles back "OK" she says
Liam follows Renee out of the room "What?"
"Liam who is she?" Renee asks
"I don't know" Liam replies turning he looks through
the glass partition at the woman sitting on the exam table "There's
something about her" he says
"What do you mean Liam?" asks Renee
"I don't know" he shrugs "There is just
something familiar about her" he answers
"That's the reason you brought her here? Because she's
familiar to you?" Renee demands.
The door opens and Dr. Park joins them "I've looked over
the tests." she tells them
"What did you find?" asks Liam concerned
Dr Park pulls up the tests on the computer "This is her
EKG" she points to the first. "Her heart rate isn't beating
normal" she traces the line
"Her heart beats slower than normal normal" Liam
finishes
"Yes it is Liam."
At that moment they hear a loud crash turning they look into
the lab to find Kat on the ground holding her head. "Ahh" she screams
painfully
"Kat" Liam calls hurrying into the lab. Going to her
side he asks "What's wrong?" touching her shoulder.
"Pain" she whimpers clutching her head
"Kat let me give you something for the pain" Dr Park
says
"NO" she groans "I'll be fine just give me a
minute" she looks at Liam and smiles shyly "Thank you"
He nods and helps her stand leading her to a chair he crouches
before her "Are you OK?"
"Yes I am."
"What happened?" asks Dr. Park
Kat tears her gaze from Liam and looks up at Dr. Park "I
don't remember. My head just started pounding. I don't know why"
"I've looked over the tests I ran." Dr Park begins
"I found some strange results"
"Like what?" Kat asks
"Your heart isn't beating as normal" Dr Park answers
Kat frowns "How so?"
Dr. Park looks at the young woman her eyes concerned says
amazed "also your heart seems to beat slower then the average human."
"Oh" she remarks "I wish I knew why" Kat
sighs
"We'll find out" Liam promises
Kat looks at him struck again by a sense of familiarity.
"Thank you"
"Your welcome" he smiles back. His global goes off
"Excuse me" he stands
"Lets work on your memory shall we" says Dr. Park
"Sure" Kat agrees
Liam returns "Renee Da'an wants us to come up to the
mothership" he says
"Oh OK" Renee agrees standing "Kat we'll see you
later"
"OK" she nods as her eyes lock with Liam's for a
moment
"See you later" Liam says with a smile
Kat watches as they leave and then returns her attention to Dr
Park and her questions. Finally it is determined that the missing memories are
her personal memories and that she remembers events of the past ten years. That
evening Liam returns and the two new friends spend time talking.
"How is it I don't remember the past 10 years of my
personal life yet I know what has happened the past 10 years?" she asks
Liam
"I'm not sure we'll find out"
One day Liam takes her out to the work station "Kat this
is our resident computer expert Augur. Augur this is Kat" Liam introduces
her to a man with a shaved head and a small braid dressed in outlandish
clothes.
"Hi" Augur says distractedly
"Hello" Kat states
"Augur whats wrong?" Liam asks
"I am trying to figure out if this weapon is real" he
says frustrated
"Can I have a look?" Kat asks shyly
Augur looks at her surprised "Uh sure" he moves out
of the way
Kat takes his place at the computer looking over the picture on
the screen. After a few minutes she looks at Augur "Its real. Its also at
a pretty good price."
Augur and Liam look at her surprised and then look at the
computer screen. "How did you know that?" Liam asks
Augur looks at the woman before her "How?"
She shrugs "I don't know it just came to me." she
smiles at Liam "Can you show me more of this place?" she asks
Liam nods "Sure" he finishes giving her the tour.
Every once in a while they would stop when Kat finds something she can do.
They stop after a while and sit down on the couch
"Liam?" she asks
"Yes?"
"Have you found out who I am yet?" Kat questions
"We're still looking. You haven't been listed as a missing
person in any database. We're still looking." Liam says
"Oh" she says sadly
"Hey don't worry we'll find out who you are" Liam
says touching her shoulder "I promise"
At his words she sniffles "Thank you" suddenly she
whimpers in pain as she clutches her head. "Hurts" she cries
painfully
Liam wraps his arm around her shoulders "Its OK" he
says rocking her
"Stop" she whimpers at the pounding in her head at
the unrecognizable pictures running around in her head.
"Shh" he soothes
Kat looks at him after the pounding stops "what is wrong
with me?"
"Don't know Kat" he says "But we'll find
out"
Chapter 2
At the end of the week it is decided that it is time for Kat to
leave. "Where is she supposed to go?" asks Renee
"We can't just let her out on her own" protests Dr
Park "She can't go through her episodes by herself she needs someone there
in case she remembers anything about herself"
Liam and Kat's eyes meet and Liam offers "She can stay
with me. I have an extra room."
"Are you sure?" Kat asks uncertainly
"I'm sure" Liam says
"Thanks" she smiles
"OK then I want to see you at the end of next week."
Dr Park says "If you remember anything let me know"
"OK" Kat says
Liam stands "Come on lets go get your things
together" the two stand and walk away together
An hour later they reach Liam's apartment. "Home sweet
home" he says holding the door open for her. Kat enters and takes a look
around. She grins at the decorations the old 1950's style posters framed. The
large T.V monitor.
"Cool" she says
"Thanks. I'll show you to your room" he tells her.
Kat nods and follows him. He leads her up the loft stairs "That's my
room" he says gesturing to the first door at the top of the stairs.
"The bathroom connects to our rooms." he opens the third door
"Here's your room" Kat looks around the room curiously she sees that
the room is decorated like the downstairs. "If you want to change anything
go ahead."
"No I like it" she grins "Thanks for letting me stay
here"
"It's not a problem. Wanna know a secret?"
"Sure" she says
"I could use the company" he tells her with a smile.
"Are you hungry?"
"A little" Kat admits
"Let's go down to the club and get some food. I'm rarely
here so the fridge is practically empty." They head back downstairs and
then to the main floor.
"Hey Augur" Liam greets leading Kat to the bar.
"We need food. Got stuff to make sandwiches?"
Augur replies "Sure check the fridge"
"Thanks" Liam says jumping the bar. "We have
mayo, ham, mustard, chicken, and white or wheat bread."
"I'll take white, ham, mayo and mustard" she answers
after a moment. She looks around the club frowning as she senses something odd.
Suddenly a hand touches her shoulder she jumps surprised she turns around to find
a tall pale man dressed in slacks and t shirt.
"Care to dance?" he asks leaning on the counter with
a grin
Kat senses something off about him. "No thanks." she
says politely "I'm just sitting here" she turns her attention back to
Liam
"Oh come on." he says
Kat looks at the mirrored shelves behind Liam and notices the
guy has no reflection. Her senses go off screaming "Vampire" she
turns back to him "Leave" she growls low so Liam can't hear
"You gonna make me?" he smirks
She smiles coldly "I don't think you want to challenge
that. You see we have company" she looks around
Liam notices the man beside Kat "Kat is he bothering
you?" he asks putting the plate before her
Kat looks at the man her eyes speaking volumes "No I think
he's leaving"
"Later then" he says walking away
Kat turns back to Liam "Thanks for making me this
sandwich." she takes a bite out of it.
"You're welcome" Liam grins back
"Hey you two" Renee says joining them "Having
fun?" she asks
"Kat's all ready been hit on" Augur tells Renee
"Oh really was he cute?" Renee inquires
Kat shrugs "He wasn't my type"
"And what is your type?" asks Augur
Kat frowns then she says softly "A guy like my Dad... I
think"
"Do you remember your Dad?" Liam asks
Kat shakes her head "I remember feelings. I don't remember
him." she looks at them thoughtfully "I remember how much he loved
me"
Liam looks at her then asks "Do you remember your
mom?"
Kat shrugs "No. I wish I could remember more"
"I have posted some queries on line. Someone should know
who you are" Augur tells her.
She smiles "Thank you" she finishes her sandwich
listening to the others talking around her. Every so often she catches Liam's
eye.
After about an hour Liam notices she looks tired. "Kat you
look tired why don't you go on up to bed"
She nods " 'kay. Night" she says
Liam, Renee and Augur watch as she leaves. "She is very
interesting" says Augur
"Seems like Liam thinks so too" Renee remarks
Liam his eyes still on the door nods "She intrigues
me" he admits
She reaches the apartment leaning against the door she sighs
wearily. "Who am I?" she whispers "What am I?" Pushing away
from the door she trudges to her room. She strips down to her panties and shirt
then crawls into the bed. She quickly falls asleep.
After about an hour Liam heads upstairs to bed. As he is
walking to his room he hears the sound of whimpering coming from Kat's room.
Concerned he stands there momentarily as he listens to her quiet down then
heads into his room. He strips down to his boxers and crawls into bed.
Kat tosses and turns her mind churning with memories both good
and bad.
("Daddy" she calls excitedly running towards the
tall dark haired man.
"Hey little one" he greets picking her up he hugs and kisses her. "How's my girl?" he asks
"Fine Daddy. Mommy's in the kitchen making hot chocolate
for us" she grins
Suddenly the dream turns to a nightmare. She awakens screaming
"Mommy. No Mommy"
The bedroom door opens and her father hurries in. "Shh
little one" he says his voice broken. "Da's here" he pulls her
onto his lap. He rocks her as she sobs. "Its OK baby"
"Want Mommy" she cries clinging to him "Want
Mommy"
"She's gone baby" he says "Mommy's gone" he
sobs
"Not gone Daddy." she protests. "Not gone"
she whimpers insistently)
Liam awakens to hear Kat calling out "Daddy! Mommy!"
in her sleep. He jumps out of bed and rushes into the room. "Kat" he
calls sitting on the edge of the bed. "Kat wake up it's a dream" he
says softly
Kat sits up crying "Daddy! Mommy!"
"Kat" Liam says touching her shoulder "It was a
dream"
She looks at him her eyes wide with tears "Liam?"
"Yeah it's me" he answers. She throws her arms around
his neck. Surprised Liam wraps his arms around her. "shh it's OK" he
whispers rocking her. He strokes her back soothingly "It was a dream"
Kat hugs him tighter burrowing closer to him. "Tell me about it" he
requests
"No" she whimpers
"Please?" Liam asks
She shakes her head no "Liam just hold me" she cries
Liam kisses her temple lightly "I will" He moves
closer on the bed holding her close he pulls the blankets up. "Its
OK" he whispers
Kat loosens her grip on his neck her cries calming. After a
while Liam moves to get off the bed. "No" she whimpers grabbing his
hand. She looks up at him her eyes fearful "Stay with me Liam" she
begs
Liam looks at her uncertainly "I don't know"
"Please Liam?" she begs.
After a second Liam nods and gets under the covers. He pulls
Kat to his side with her head on his chest while she grips his hand. "Go
to sleep"
"Thank you Liam" she whispers. The two fall asleep
moments apart.
Somewhere in CA
"KATIE" a man calls as he awakens. He sits up in the
bed holding his head. Slowly he gets out of bed and walks out to the living room
to the kitchen
"I thought you had stopped having those dreams Angel"
a voice says from the couch.
Angel looks over at the couch to see his long time friend Spike
watching him concerned. "I had. This is the first one I've had in a long
time."
Spike stares at him "Katie's dead Angelus"
"I don't believe that" Angel says "I won't"
"Soulboy Spike's right. Katie's been missing for 10
years" a voice enters the conversation. They look over to see a tall dark
haired woman exit one of the bedrooms.
"She isn't Faith" Angel retorts
Faith shakes her head. She joins Spike on the couch taking his
hand. "She is Angel."
"No she isn't" Angel says he goes to the window and
looks out into the night "I can feel her" he glances back at the two
"I know she's alive. I just have to find her." He picks up a picture
of a blonde haired teen smiling as she holds a baby with dark hair and eyes on
her lap. The baby is laughing as she opens presents. He smiles sadly as he
looks at it "She's alive." He tells them his voice filled with
certainty.
Chapter 3
Back in DC
The next morning Liam awakens to find Kat curled up at his
side. He smiles and carefully gets off the bed. Quickly he showers and writes
her a note then leaves the apartment.
Kat awakens a few hours later to find Liam gone. Shrugging she
heads to the kitchen where she finds his note
//"Kat, I'll be back mid afternoon. We'll go get food
then. Here's some money. There is a cafe just across the street go eat some
breakfast. ~Liam"//
She puts the note down then goes and takes a shower. After
dressing she heads out to breakfast.
Taelon Mothership
Liam enters Da'an's chambers his thoughts still on Kat and what
he felt as he held her the night before. "hello Da'an" he greets
"Major Kincaid it is good to see you" Da'an says from
his seat
"What can I do for you
Da'an?" Liam asks
Da'an looks at Liam concerned "Is something bothering you
Major?" he asks
Liam paces the room "Da'an there's this woman I met. She has
amnesia. I want to help her discover who she is but a part of me doesn't want
to for I fear I might lose her." "Why do you fear that?" Da'an
asks
Liam shrugs "I don't really know"
"What do you feel for her?" Da'an asks
Liam sighs "I'm not really sure."
"You care for her" Da'an states
Liam nods "I do. There's something different about
her."
"She interests you"
"That she does"
That afternoon
Kat finds Liam, Renee and Augur waiting for her at the restuarant
across the street from the apartment. "Hi" she smiles sitting beside
Liam
"Hi" Liam says
"So what have you been up to?" Augur asks Kat
"Oh doing some research mostly" Kat replies
"On what?" Renee questions
Kat shrugs "I wanted to see if my memories of events were
accurate"
"And?" Augur inquires
Kat sighs "It seems that somehow I know things that have
happened yet I have no memory of where I've been and who I am."
"So you remember things like the Taelons coming yet you
don't remember what you were doing at the time" Renee says
"Yeah. I don't get it." Kat mutters "I mean how
can I not now what I've been doing all these years yet I can remember what's
been going on around me?" she looks up as a waiter walks over to them. She
frowns
"What?" Liam asks seeing the look on her face
"I remember darkness" Kat says softly
"Darkness how?" Renee asks
"I'm not sure. I mostly remember being more comfortable at
night." she sighs "That's it."
An hour later
"Thanks for lunch" Kat says as she and Liam return to
the apartment
Liam nods sitting beside her on the couch. "Kat what do
you remember about your nightmares?"
"Nothing really." Kat shrugs "Mostly my father
holding me saying everything would be fine."
"You don't remember what he looked like?"
"No" she leans against the cushions "What about
your family?"
"Nothing much to say" Liam shrugs
"Where are they?"
"Uh my mother's dead. My father he's another story. My
mother's parents are still alive. They live in Ireland."
Hearing him say that Kat smiles at the memory "My father
was born in Ireland"
"You remember?"
Kat nods "When I was scared he'd say 'Don't worry little
miracle Da's here' when he'd say it he'd have a slight accent" she sighs
looking at him thoughtfully "Something tells me your different" Kat
says
Liam starts "How so?"
"I'm not sure I just feel it." she raises her hand
touching his face lightly "I see it in your eyes" she pulls back
quickly as though her hand is burned "Who are you Liam Kincaid?" she
says softly
"Just Liam Kincaid" he replies with a small smile
"I wish I knew who I am" Kat sighs a tear falling
down her cheek
Liam wipes the tear away "We'll find out who you are. I
promise"
Kat looks at him wiping away her tears on her sleeve she gives
him a faint smile then hugs him "Thank you" she says softly resting
her cheek on his shoulder
Liam presses his lips lightly to her hair "Your
welcome."
Kat pulls back their faces inches apart. "Liam" she
whispers
"Kat" he echoes. Slowly the two move closer when they
are startled out of the moment by Liam's global going off. "I better get
this" he says
Kat nods "Yeah" she starts walking into the kitchen
Liam shakes his head "Kincaid" he says flipping on
his Global
"We need you on the mothership Major Kincaid." the
man states
"I'll be right up Sandoval" Liam answers turning off
his Global he heads into the kitchen where he finds Kat having a drink of water
"I've got to go. They need me up on the mothership"
Kat nods her back to him. When she hears him start to walk out
of the kitchen she says "Liam?"
"Yeah?" Liam replies
Kat turns around walking over to him she presses her lips to
his. She pulls back chewing on her lower lip "You better go don't want to
be late"
Liam nods silently "I'll see you later" he walks out
of the apartment
Kat lifts her fingers to her lips 'That was incredible' she
smiles faintly. Shaking off her thoughts she heads back into her bedroom.
Later that Afternoon
Liam enters the apartment to find Kat sitting at the computer
"Hey"
"Hi" Kat greets glancing up
"What are you doing?"
"I'm not sure really." she says frustrated "I
know I'm looking for something but..."
"You don't know what" Liam finishes
Kat nods "Its like I know but I can't grasp it"
"I understand. I feel the same way about things"
"Like what?"
Liam shrugs "Different things"
Kat shakes her head "You are a strange man Liam
Kincade"
"I'm just a guy" he smiles
"Something about you tells me you aren't just a guy"
Kat chuckles then suddenly she doubles over gasping for breath
"Kat?" Liam asks going to her side
LA
"Bloody hell Angelus its a good thing you aren't
human" Spike says wincing at the sight of wound on his sires side.
"Damn Angel he nailed you good" Faith whistles
looking up from patching up her friend
Angel shrugs "Just finish it"
DC: Liam's place
"Kat you OK?"
Kat nods "I'm fine."
"What was that?" Liam asks
"I'm not sure" Kat sighs "pain but not
mine"
"Who's?"
Kat shrugs "Something is wrong Liam. Something big"
"How so?"
"I don't know."
Liam leans close "Hey it'll be OK"
Kat sighs running her fingers through her hair. "I hope
so"
"Hey it will be" Liam assures taking her face between
his hands
Kat smiles slightly "Thank you" unconciously she nuzzles
his hand with her cheek then turns into his hand pressing her lips to his palm.
"Your different from the others." she closes her eyes
Liam feels his heart pick up at her nearness. "Your also
different." he whispers
Kat opens her eyes "Liam" she says softly
He leans forward his lips meeting hers in a gentle kiss. He
pulls back his eyes drawn to hers. "Wow" he says with a smile
Kat looks at him "Yeah" she agrees. After a moment
their lips meet again. Kat slides her arms around his neck deepening the kiss
Liam pulls back the two stare at each other dazed. Liam
caresses her cheek with his forefinger.
"Liam?"
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me" she says shyly
"Works for me" he grins leaning closer.
Kat sighs at the feeling of his lips on hers. Her arms wrapping
his neck.
Liam pulls her closer groaning at the feeling of her tongue
caressing his. He breaks the kiss allowing them both to breath.
Kat shifts so she's straddling his thighs "Liam" she
says softly as she leans down her lips meeting his.
Liam grasps her waist with one hand the other tangling in her
hair holding her close. He feels Kat pull back
Kat looks at Liam sensing his arousal she slowly unbuttons his
shirt.
"Kat?"
Kat leans down her lips inches from his "Please" she
presses her lips against his her hands sliding his shirt off his arms. "We
both want it. You want me. I want you."
Liam stands with Kat in his arms her legs around his waist. He
walks back towards his bedroom with Kat kissing him passionately. The two fall
on the bed a tangle of limbs as they kiss furiously. Hands fly as they strip
off each others clothes. Once they are both naked Liam pauses "Kat?"
Brown eyes meet grey as Kat smiles rubbing her thumb across his
lower lip. "I want you"
Later
Liam frowns hearing a purring sound coming from Kat. He
chuckles lifting his head he smiles at Kat. 'She's purring' he realizes
After a few moments Kat looks at Liam and smiles moving closer
she kisses him lightly.
"You were purring like a cat" he tells her with a
faint laugh
Kat looks at him "I was?"
Liam nods
Kat looks away feeling sheepish "I must have a
reason." she rests her head beside his
"I like it" he states smoothing her hair out of her
face "its cute" he brushes his lips across hers. A moment later he groans
hearing his Global beep. "Great what now?" he rolls over grabbing his
Global off the nightstand. "Kincaid" he says in greeting seeing Augur
he groans "Augur I'm busy here"
Augur smiles slightly seeing his friend in bed without a shirt
"I can see that" he notices Kat behind Liam
"Shut up Augur" Kat says annoyed "just tell Liam
what you want then go away"
"Sorry to disturb your afternoon of fun but Liam I have
something you might want to see."
Liam sighs "I'll be right there." he hangs up before
his friend can make another comment.
"Do you have to go?" Kat grumbles looking annoyed
Liam nods "I'll try and be back as soon as possible."
he kisses her and stands quickly getting dressed "How about we go out to
dinner" Liam suggests sitting on the bed pulling on his shoes
"Sure" Kat nods
Seeing the uncertain look on Kat's face Liam kisses her again
leaving her breathless "We have a lot to talk about"
Kat nods "You better go before we get carried away"
she smiles lightly pushing him away.
Liam smiles "I'll see you later" he promises heading
out of the apartment
Kat sighs curling up under the covers inhaling his scent she
smiles drifting off to sleep.
Augur's Place
"Augur this better be good" Liam says annoyed
entering the underground apartment.
"Sorry to disturb you" Augur grins
"Just tell me what you need. I told Kat we'd go out to
dinner"
"Dinner?" Renee asks entering the work area
"Yes. Now what's going on?"
"Liam have you told her?" Augur asks curiously
Liam looks at his hands shaking his head "I'm going to...
tonight"
"Wait your going to tell Kat... a stranger that you aren't
exactly human?" Renee demands
Liam nods "I trust her."
"Liam just be careful we don't know enough about her"
Renee warns
"Renee its none of your business if I tell her. Lets get
to work." he says annoyed
