Cleaned and refreshed, everyone sat around Alex by the edge of the lake. With the sun near the horizon, Lysander pulled out the memory device. "Come here, Alex, and sit on my lap. Rhea left something for you."

Alex, sleepy from the long walk and playing in the water, shuffled over and sat between Lysander's legs. "Ohh, what is it?"

Lysander showed her the curved device. "It's a fancy headband that will help return your memories."

"Really?" Will it hurt?"

"It may make you a little dizzy, but it won't hurt."

"Okay, daddy. I'd like to remember stuff again."

Lysander sighed. "I hope you feel the same way after this."

Alex frowned "What do you mean? Why wouldn't I like my memories back? I don't like not knowing things you ask me about."

"I know honey. I just worry too much. Now, hold still while I put this on you."

Lysander laid the inner curve of the device against Alex's forehead. When he pushed the green square, the device emitted a low whirring sound as three small sections of metal emerged from the band and pushed against Alex's skin. Alex laughed nervously.

"That's cold, daddy. How long..."

Alex fell silent as her eyes focused straight ahead. Lysander called to her. "Alex, are you okay."

Alex's mouth fell open and her pupils dilated as a high-pitched hum emitted from the band.

Lysander shifted Alex so he could see her face and called to her again with a sense of urgency. "Alex!"

The humming stopped and after a few seconds, Alex blinked her eyes and closed her mouth. "Lysander?" Looking around she saw the lake and tall grass. "Where are we?"

Lysander took hold of the device. Upon his touch, the three metal sections retracted back. He set the band on the ground.

"Alex, honey, look at me."

She turned to face Lysander. "Why are you calling me honey, Lysander? Why am I on your lap?" She started to ask another question, but her face turned a slight shade of green. She put her hand on her stomach.

"I don't feel so good."

"Uh, oh," said Lysander as he grabbed her under the arms and stood. Stepping away from the others, he sat her back down on her knees at the water's edge. He was able to pull her hair back a second before she vomited. When she finished, Lysander picked her up in his arms. Taking a bit of cloth, he wiped her mouth.

"Any better, sweetie?"

Her eyes, distant at first, slowly locked on Lysander's face. Beginning to whimper, she reached her arms around his neck. Rubbing her back, Lysander carried her back to the group.

"I think she's in for a rough night."

"Let's see if we can get her inside," said Melody.

Walking towards the building, they watched for any signs of pain. Seeing none by the time they reached the door, they entered. They were only a few steps in, when small, clear bars attached to the sides of the building glowed a faint blue. The light was enough for them to maneuver safely inside. Earlier, while the girls were bathing,
