~~~~~~~~~Aiden's POV~~~~~~~~~

"W.. w-where am I..?"

The area around me like some sort of bunker, dusty and with moss around. There were no windows around, and the lights that were there barely lit up anything. That fact alone made me theorize that it could be underground, which only sent more chills down my spine.

There was only a faint green glow behind me, and when I turned around, I saw where the glow came from..

I was shocked to see all of the people I was told went missing, each one in a strange tank that was filled with water all the way to the top. They all had an oxygen mask on their faces, all with their eyes closed, as if they were in a deep slumber.

One freaked me out more than the rest..

Not too far from me, inside the same set of tanks, was me..

I was in the same unconscious state as everyone else, unmoving, but breathing normally thanks to the mask.

What was this..? Why am I here..?! Why were there two of me?!

I hadn't even realized I was reaching for the glass until I saw my hand against, or at least, it was supposed to be against it.. But to my surprise, it went straight through the glass, as if it didn't even exist.

Was this some sort of memory? I have heard of being able to enter people's minds to see their memories in person, but not only is that something that very few people have the power to do, you usually have to be in front of the person to do so.

Maybe it was my own? I wouldn't have the memory of being asleep though!

None of this made any sense!

A gasp escaped my lips as a sudden sound came from behind me, making me turn around.

Iv stood in front of a pair of doors, locking them before turning to face me. When she did, her eyes went wide, and so did my own.

"I.. Iv! You're okay!"

She didn't reply, only stared at me in pure shock, walking over to me.

Or.. walking through me..

I was right, wasn't I? This was only a memory, but I didn't know who's. Maybe it was mine, even though I never had a memory like this to begin with. Maybe it was Iv's, but I was nowhere near her to be able to enter her mind.

She stared at the me that was unconscious for a while, when I noticed her eyes had started to glow red, as well as the veins inside her arms. I knew what she was trying to do, she was trying to control the amount of power she used so she wouldn't hurt me.

Whenever she was using a large amount of power, her eyes would glow between red and orange; red for whenever she attacks, and orange when she heals.

Huh.. didn't the others say my eyes had turned red..?

I'll have to think about that later..

She managed to break the tank with one single punch, backing away as the water inside spilled all over the ground. Almost immediately, an alarm started going off, and with the other me in her arms, she began to run away.

"W-wait!!" I called out to Iv as I tried to run away, following her through the other pair of doors.

But as I went through..

...

...

...

My eyes shot open, and I was brought back to reality.

I was lying on the ground, that much I knew, I could feel the grass through my fingers. Victor, Noah, and Lola all surrounded me, staring down in worry.

They stared at me for a few seconds, until Lola forced on a small smile. "Hey.. you feeling okay..?"

"I... y-yeah, I'm fine..." It was exhausting to sit up, and I still had a bit of a headache. "Just tired..."

Noah raised an eyebrow. "What the hell happened..?"

"I don't know, I just got this awful headache all of a sudden, as if something was crushing me.."

Victor immediately pulled out his phone. "Yeah, that's not good. I'm calling the hospital."

"No!" I quickly stood up. "R-really, I'm fine, I don't need medical care."

"You just fainted out of nowhere, and now you're saying you had a headache that felt as if your head was being crushed! That's clearly not normal!"

"I saw Iv!!"

They all tensed up at my words, quiet for a few seconds, until Noah finally spoke. "You're being serious, right..?"

I nodded. "I think I saw her memory, but I'm not sure.."

Victor's glare was as serious as ever. "Aiden, we need you to tell us everything. No details left out."
