I looked around my quarters, it wasn't much of a room yet.
A bed, a table, a mirror and a waldrobe, I'd have to give it my touch it looked too much like a mans room.

I dumped my bags down by the door and walked over to sit on the bed, I sank.
The springs were so old they hardly held the mattress up.
"Well this will have to be mended" I told myself, making a mental note of what was to be done.

There was a small window opposite the bed, a round window that over looked the vast sea.
I walked over to it and stared out, was this to be my fate? I grinned to myself I knew my little adventure had only just begun.

After unpacking my bags and adding a few of my own touches it was beginning to look more like home, the flowers again, same in the medical bay.
Sheets for the old bed, clean of course.
My perfume and powder sat on the table which I had made into a dressing table by putting the mirror on it.

"Now thats better" I said to myself and slumped down onto the bed which I still had to fix.
I stared up at the ceiling, the wooden rafters that ran along it.
The smell of fresh wood hit my nose, it was a lovely smell though after I while I was sure that I wouldn't smell it again, once you were used to a smell you stopped smelling it.

I had changed and now I wore a long brown skirt and baggy long sleeved green shirt.
My hair was tied back with a ribbon so that it was kept out of my eyes.

(For some reason my original post was deleted, I think this is the same with other peoples posts so i shall repost it!)

I approached Madam Van Tassels door and raised my hand to knock. I hesitated then knocked softly on the wooden door. I slowly opened it and leant my head around, Aurora turned to face me

"Hello Dr. Van Tassel, I'm Peterson the chief engineer on board. I just wondered if you could help me?" I spoke softly and hoped she would agree...

I picked my head up and looked at pete, I smiled and stood up brushing my clothes down.
"Pete" I smiled, "well....I'll do my best to help what'd you need?" I asked with a grin.

"Thank you Doctor, I came into room quite timidly, which was unusual for me. She offered a seat and we sat down. "Well I don't know if your the right kind of doctor to be asking...but its worth a go." I started to talk more seriouly

"I've been having problems with my head, I mean, I keep getting visions and horrible dreams that seem real. Its like one minute I'm good old Pete then with a flick I can snap into another person. It's..its..." I struggled with what I wanted to say, "the visions are becoming more frequent and are often violent. I can't seem to control my mind anymore." I paused, this was a very touchy subject for me. I looked up at the doctor, "can you tell me please, have you come across this before? I'm I losing my mind!?"

I hoped I had not come on to strongly about my problems.

I crossed my arms and listened to his words.
I could see how uneasy he was about this subject, a sensative subject.
"Oh not at all, its a very common uccurance I've had many people come to me a port town with the same kind of problem, although not as violent as you describe" I reassured him,

"I cant really say 'what' it is until I study it a bit more, but I can give you a rough idea of what you have been experiencing." I looked at him to make sure he was following, I could see him shift himself more into the chair.

"Now, first what are these dreams like? I mean what exactly do you see? do you see yourself or is it someone else?" I asked trying to get a better idea of what was going on inside his head.

This wasn't really my specialist subject but I could do as much as I was capable of, I was in no way qualified to treat him for these but I could try and help him stop them.

I breathed in deeply and thought about it. She was very understanding which made me feel more confident talking about it.

"I see myself, but its not from my view its like I'm watching myself. Like I'm looking down towards me and watching me do things that I can't stop.
Sometimes I see myself on the ship, I wake and draw my sword. Then I hack every single crew member into bloody mess. I shout to myself trying to stop me, but it seems so real." I tilted my head down and rubbed my eye brow, "Theres more...thats just the recent dreams."

Deep down I didn't want to reveal my other dreams they were more horrific.

I cringed at the thought of being sliced down with a sword, but after all they were only visions.
"Perhaps...by chance these are just figures of your imagination, often people dream up things, that aren't true or ever will be true but they are impliments of a bad past"
I thought for a bit, that made no sence.

"Erm when someone has had a bad past, things they associate with everyday sometimes end up in dreams and they impliment that bad past into thier dreams, making up these horrific fantasises" I nodded that sounded a bit better, easier to understand.

"But, other times these visions are real, like they are seeing into the future..." I paused and gulped finishing my sentance, "often the visions come true, but I hope in your case that is not true." I sighed again and straightened up from my chair.

"On the other hand this could just be some very depictive dream, but I doubt that as in most dreams you cannot see yourself at all, for that matter in most visions you cant see yourself either, just everyone else....I shall have to do some reading, but I can give you a sedative to help you sleep and try and stop the visions."

That was all I could suggest, I was fresh out of idea's, I hadn't come across anything like this before.
I hoped in the bottom of my heart it was just a dream and not anything too serious.

"Thank you so much doctor, it's being a huge weight on my mind." What the Aurora Van T said made complete sense, it was my past that is effecting me now. All the things I've done in the past are starting to haunt me.

I rose from my chair and she passed me the medcine, "I think it is just a horrific fantasy," I said reasuringly but knew deep down there was more to it. I tried to take everything Aurora had said, it was excellent advice and it is quite vauable to me.

I briefly thought back to when Korg had taken over my mind, he showed me his apocalypse on my home land. That had upset me, but from what Aurora was telling me it may be a vision into the future - but whos to say is will come true?

"Yes!" I exclaimed, "Thats it! You've just made me realise..." I stopped because I didn't want to reveal too much, only the Captain knows where I really come from. But she had made me realise that my home land won't be in danger, and even it was, there is a high chance that it won't happen because its just a stupid vision into the future!

"I think you've probally saved me from instanity, because my previous visions were much much worse and you have lifted a huge burden from my mind. I think now that I know these visions are false I won't have any more."

"Dont be too sure Pete, as I have not got that much knowledge on visions so I cant be too sure" I told him trying not to give him faulse hopes.

"But I am glad to have helped a little, I want the crew to be in tip top shape" I gave a slight smile and stood up.

"Can I ask you something, as friends....you seem to know Adrian a lot better then anyone else on this ship" perhaps I was over stepping my place but I needed to know a few things first.

"Is he always so....sucluded? I mean I get the feeling he's a great man but he hides it all away"

"Not always," I said stroking my beard, "he was once a stronger man, but now revenge seems to have changed his ways. Not by much, but he won't rest until he has destroyed the monster that sunk our old ship the 'Wild Wind'"

We sat for a while in silence and I thought about Adrians personal problems with his daugther and wife. "Thinking about it," I said, "he has been through quite a lot. But still to this day he is a strong Captain, and for some reason which I haven't figured; people instantly listen and respect him."

I looked at the medcine in my hands and stood up from the chair. "Thanks Doctor Van T, it was nice talking to you. I hope your setteling well, and if theres any problems you can bring them to me and I'll sort them out." I smiled, "cos' I know them engines can get quite noisey some times!"

I opened the door, Aurora smiled back, "see you soon!" I waved and headed back down the corridoor.
