Twists of Fate

Chapter 6

I heard the door open again and as soon as it did, there was bang of something falling to the ground. I turned around and saw two men standing in the doorway. They looked at me and the expression on their faces was like they just have seen a ghost.

The blonde one was the first to speak. "A-Allison? What are you doing here?"

Then the dark one collected himself and came forward to hug me. "Its been a long time since I last saw you. Its nice you're here." I tried to pull away, but he was strong.

Obviously noticing I was uncomfortable, he broke the embrace and Killian was standing in front of me after a few seconds, shielding me from the two strangers, who were doctors due to their clothes.

I put my hand on his shoulder to let him know I was okay and that there's no reasons to protect me. The men weren't going to hurt me. Maybe they are right and I do know them, but I forgot them.

The only thing that didn't make sense was that the blonde doctor called me Allison. I was always called Emma, so why would he know me under the name Allison?

Now I get it. They probably know someone who looks a little like me.

Killian didn't stop standing in front of me, so I went to stand next to him. He wasn't too happy about that though.

"I've got this. You don't need to worry." I gave him a small smile and he smiled back.

"Alright. I trust you." I stared into his eyes for a little while longer before I broke the eye contact and looked at the strangers.

"Do I know you?"

"Yes. Are you saying you don't remember us?" the blonde one said. He was obviously sad about this, due to the look on his face, which was really broken

"No. I'm sorry. But I can't remember knowing you. Both of you."

"But you do. We worked together for 3 years and then later again for a while." the black guy said. "I'm Foreman." he waited for a while before continuing to speak. "You really don't remember me?"

"No. I don't. I'm sorry. Also I find it hard to believe that we worked together. I was never a doctor. I'm Sheriff of a small town and before that I was a bail-bonds person."

They both looked very confused now.

"That sounds so not like you." The blond sighed. "I think we just thought you were someone we know. You look exactly like her. Sorry." he picked up the file, that he dropped earlier. "I'm Robert Chase by the way."

I shook his hand and so did Killian after I threw him a glance that said 'be nice.' But he was still looking at Chase like he wanted to kill him.

"Emma Swan and this is Killian Jones. We're friends of Ashley."

"Thats actually why we're here. We work for Dr House and are supposed to do some tests to find out what's wrong with you, Ashley."

"Will you be able to fix me?" Ashley said in a desperate tone. That didn't help me since I'm already worried enough and seeing someone else thinking the same as myself, makes it more likely to happen. Now I'm even more afraid. If that's possible.

"That depends on what you have, Miss. But we hardly have dying patients. House is a genius. He can figure almost everything out." Chase said.

I sighed in relief. The doctor earlier said the same, so there's a big possibility of Ashley being totally okay in a few days or weeks. I hope it doesn't take months because I don't know how long I can live with my worry.

Then the door opened again. Two guys entered the room. One of them was a doctor and the other one was carrying a cane.

They looked at me with a similar expression as Foreman and Chase earlier.

"What is the Australiens ex smarter half doing here?" The man with the cane said, looking at me and then Chase.

Chase looked at him like he wanted to kill the guy and clenched his fists.

"House!" The other guy that just entered the room said angrily to the man with the cane.

"What? It's the truth. Cameron is far smarter than Chase. If she wouldn't have quit, I would have fired Chase."

Wow. He's really mean.

"Just stop it, House." Chase said angrily and turned back to Ashley. "Plus the fact that this isn't Cameron. Her name is Emma Swan and she's a friend of our patient."

"Umm...sure." He said sarcastically. "So. What are you doing here?"

"Visiting my friend. Aren't you supposed to find out what's wrong with her, instead of arguing with your team?"

That guy was really annoying me. Normally I wouldn't snap at anyone, but I just couldn't help it. He's awful. He's nerving other people, instead of fixing my friend. Why is he a doctor anyway? He doesn't look like one?

"HOUSE!" Another person entered the room. It was a woman this time. She looked at House angrily.

"You're supposed to be at the clinic and do your clinic hours, instead of hanging out with Wilson." she looked around for a little, seeming confused now. "Are you actually seeing a patient?"

"No. I just like hanging out with the kangaroo and the car thief."

"Okay. Forget what I said." she looked at Ashley then. "I'm sorry. Its just House is acting impossible most of the time."

Then her eyes darted to me and Killian. "Dr. Cameron? Its nice to see you again. What brings you here?"

"I'm not Cameron or Allison or anyone you all think I am. My names Emma Swan. I'm a friend of Ashley."
