Chapter 13

*Nichole*

I didn't dare to look, I was afraid. I didn't want to turn and see my parents, but I did at the same time. I was afraid, afraid enough to turn and look.

As I turned I looked at the two, they had let go of me, and now I didn't know what to do. They stared at me lovingly, and when I looked to the lady off to the right. I thought I was looking in an ageing mirror. She looked like the future me. As for the man, he too, looked like me, but I seemed to be both of them. If I were to combine them together, they would look like the future me.

"Hi honey." The lady said.

I didn't respond instead I stared, my eyes wide she sounded like me, but different, more mature. The sound of her voice seemed to soothe me, as if I'd heard it before. The only thing was, there was no way I could have.

The man had kind eyes, and his clothes seemed to be dirty as if he had been doing something hard out of kindness. I looked at him, and I seemed to remember him, but from where?

"My name is Toby, this is Kara." He said to me, even though I was lost in thought.

So that's why I knew them, they were my parents? That was the last thing I thought before I blacked out... into their loving arms.

"Okay, should've expected that." I heard voices say as I was coming to.

I felt a cold cloth to my head, a soft hand on the other side of the cloth was gently pressing the cloth to my forehead. I wanted to stay blacked out, where I wouldn't ever wake up, I could live asleep for the rest of my life, I'd very much like that. Only problem was, that ain't happening.

I opened my eyes enough to see a few blurry figures in front of me. I felt something soft under my head, I think I was laying on someone's legs, maybe Kara's? I saw Toby staring at me from a sitting position. He seemed to notice my eyes opening up because he said. "She's coming to."

I had no idea it was that obvious, but then I saw Kara looking at me from my other side. So who's legs were I laying on? That's when it hit me, I was on Chloe's legs. The only thing that seemed out of the ordinary was I didn't see Koda or Oneye by my side. Had they left? No, Koda would never leave me, but how about Oneye? I feared he'd left all on his own, but I couldn't do anything about it.

I suddenly sat up. "Where are they?" I practically screamed.

"Where is who?" Toby said surprised as she jerked back.

"Koda! Oneye! Where did they go?" I said as I turned to them.

"Oh... Koda well he is over there." Kara said as she pointed to Koda, who seemed to be sleeping, but they only thing was, that wasn't how he slept, not only that, but no matter what when he slept he would only sleep beside me.

"And Oneye?" I asked urgently.

"He... he..." Chloe started to say.

I was getting frustrated, where was he? I didn't know, I couldn't hear him at all, no other voices but ours, it scared me. I mean, it wasn't like I liked him or anything... did I?

Point was, he couldn't be lost, not now. I feared he left without me again. No, it couldn't be happening, I pushed for my answer.

"Where is he?" I said desperately.

"Hon, lets get you over here okay? We'll talk when you're settled in." Chloe said soothingly.

I didn't argue, Toby pulled me up and practically carried me to the couch, I had no idea he was that strong. I sat down as I watched them get things for me. Kara handed me a glass of water, and some bread was set on the table between the two couches. I drank the water and they started to talk.

"Well, honey, it's me, you remember me... yes?" Kara said quietly.

"Sorry, not too much, but I have little bits in there." I said as I stared into her eyes.

Her tongue seemed to be pushing at her teeth, and finally she replied. "That's fair." She shoved her hands into the pockets of her summer dress. As she stared at Toby, he started to talk.

"Well... how about us?" He asked referring to him and Chloe.

"Not much, same as I said before." I responded.

They sighed, and I felt that I had just let them down, but at the same time, they have let me down for 12 years. Afraid of what might happen, I tried to stop talking, but oh how could I? I kept talking.

"Where in the world did Oneye go? Are you ever going to tell me????" I asked.

"He... he left." They replied in sinc.
