Chapter 38

SALEM PLACE
SHAWN-D: I'm sorry, did we what?
JAN: Did we have a child?
Shawn-D and Belle looked at each other, and then back at Jan.
BELLE: Why would you think something like that?
JAN: I've been going to see Dr. Evans on a daily baiss to try and get my memory back. To help me, she's been putting me under hypnosis. Last night, I remembered something.
SHAWN-D: Okay...
JAN: I remembered being in the hospital. And you, Shawn, you were there. But we were young. We were, like, seventeen or eighteen, or something. Still in high school, definitely. Anyway, I was getting an ultrasound from this Australian doctor. And, I didn't want to keep the baby, and you were trying to convince me that I should.
Shawn-D and Belle looked at each other again.
BELLE: Tell her.
SHAWN-D: Are you sure that's wise?
JAN: Tell me what?
SHAWN-D: Jan...what you remembered is true. But, we didn't exactly have the baby.
JAN: What do you mean?
SHAWN-D: See, the thing about the baby is...
Before Shawn-D could say anything, Jan went into a weird, trance like state.
BELLE: Are you okay?
JAN: Oh god! Oh god, no!
She was getting a memory. Click here to see what she remembered. After the memory was finished, she snapped out of it. But she was shaking.
SHAWN-D: Jan? Are you okay?
Jan shook her head.
JAN: No...

TOWN LINE
Roman and Bart stood on one side of the town line. Hope stood on the other. Both were looking at the line that separated them.
ROMAN: Wait a minute. I just thought of something.
Roman saw a nearby rock. He picked it up and threw it at the line. It got deflected, but had caused a short burst of light that showed the diameter of the force field.
ROMAN: When I tried to put my hand over the town line, it caused that same light. And look up there.
Roman pointed up. There was a slight area that was blurred.
ROMAN: I've seen that before. I've seen this all before. But where?
HOPE: When Roman threw that rock, it caused the force field to go weak.
Hope looked up to where Roman had been pointing.
HOPE: And that. That's a weak spot in the force field. Where have I seen this before? It seems so familiar to me. It's almost like...
Roman looked up, as did Hope. They looked at each other, both showing equal amounts of recognition and shock on their faces.
ROMAN: The Island.
HOPE: Melaswen. We're on Melaswen!

The End...for now

Great cliffhanger André DiMera!

[Kpatch]

Great story. When does the next one start.

[mae00]

We need a King AND Queen of cliffhangers!

Great start. Can't wait to see what happens.

[billiereed]

I finally am getting to read this & I love it already. Wow, you have quite the imagination! How you keep so many plotlines going at the same time, I don't know, but it's awesome. Takes a lot of talent too. Great work. I will continue reading ASAP.

[André DiMera]

Thank you so much, billiereed! This was one of my favorite stories to write! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

[billiereed]

Catching up on this story. It's so good. Jade's a little menace as always lol

[André DiMera]

Thanks, billiereed! Yeah, Jade’s pretty terrible here, huh? At the time, I was writing her as a mini-Jan Spears. I can’t wait for you to see how she develops!

[billiereed]

On page 10 now. The Last Blast is so fun. I love when we got to see that event on the show so it's so exciting reading a fic about it. Love this story!!!

[André DiMera]

So glad you’re enjoying, billiereed! I loved the Last Blast on TV, and it’s become a recurring fixture of my stories (so long as I’ve got high school aged characters), and thankfully not all of them are as bad for Claire as this one.

[billiereed]

I just finished reading this. Hot da*n Andre! That was a killer ending. Reminds me of the book and TV series Under the Dome by Stephen King and I love that universe! Really good stuff. Off to read the next fic in the series. I am eager to start it. Wonderful job. My hat's off to you!!
