Chapter 43

Dwayne's P.O.V

I moved a little to the end of the cell where the direction of the 3rd Cell was located. I still couldn't see her.

"Are you okay?" I asked, no one answered. I don't know if she heard me or what. So I ask again.

"Are you okay?" This time I made my voice louder, I heard the clicking sound of chains.

"Y-yes..." She answered in her soft voice.

"What did they do to you?" I asked again, she didn't answer this time so I changed the question.

"How old are you Amara?" Her name sounded foreign in my head but it was like something inside me was telling me it was familiar.

"I don't know..." Her words came out to be a whisper. I suddenly felt a sting in my chest.

"Well never mind that, I don't remember my age." I tried to cheer her, and it seems like it was working she giggle and it sounded nice in my ears.

"So tell me what is your favorite color?" I just started spouting random questions, I don't know how to handle a child.

"Well, I wanted to see the sky, and based on what Vicky said it was color blue." Her words were full of enthusiasm. I feel a little bit sad by her words. So she hasn't gone outside.

Is she locked up in this dark place ever since?

"Oh the sky, is really pretty. It also changes color depending on the time of the day." I said, I can imagine her leaning forward so she could come closer and hear me.

"Really? Like what?" She asks.

I started explaining to her how the sky looked during dawn, sunrise, and sunset. I also told her about the outside world. Like how there is lakes, mountains, forest, and flowers. I also explained to her some other things that she could see outside.

"That sounded nice." Her voice sounded sad at the moment.

Our conversation stops when the guards came back. I stood up on my feet when they open her cell. The sound of chains hitting the floor echoes.

"It's your turn little bitch, now get on your feet and move." I heard another loud slap then they started moving.

"Hey move faster!" I saw a flicker of light and saw her face, her eyes went wide when she saw me staring at her he quickly looked away.

"I told you she's different," Afreo mumbled while staring at the same person. She had silver-white hair and a pair of golden and red eyes...

She was the same child I saw before in the vision of the Lady.

***Vision end***

"Sorry to interrupt your slumber but we have to move." I blink twice and found myself still inside the underground dungeon. I look at Eliot who woke me up and found them getting ready.

What did I just experience? It was already dark when I woke up. They all went outside and I followed trying to register everything in my head.

"Yusef saw a boat that we could use." He explained when we reach the exit the boat was already waiting for us. Yusef was already on board. It was a speed boat that can fit us all.

"Where are we going?" I ask once we are on the boat. They all turn to look at me.

"Until how far did you see?" Clint ask. They all focus on me and waited for my answer.

I explained to them what I saw, regarding the children the meds, the cell, and the little girl. I even explain to them the first time I saw her. Even my encounter with the lady in the woods. They all remained silent the whole time I was telling them what happened.

"So you also saw her," Clint mumbled.

"What do you mean by that? You know her?" I ask, a little surprised they all nodded their heads.

"We also saw her before, she said the same thing to us," Eliot explained.

"But based on what u know so far, once you saw that place things might start coming back to you again. " Clint said, I can hear the warning in his tone.

I look ahead of us; we are heading north. I have no idea where we are going but it took us an hour before we started seeing some landscape. And another hour before we stop on a remote Island. I have no idea that there is an Island around here. I understand why you have to pass by the foggy area and if you have no idea where you were going you will end up dead. I saw some sharp stones just laying around the shallow grounds. Before reaching the coast.

It was still dark, but it wasn't an issue for us at all.

"Where did you last see her Eliot?" Clint asks as soon as we step on the Island. I can feel my heart beating fast right now, there is something in this place that is making my wolf uncomfortable.

"It was the pressure, the atmosphere in this Island is different from the outside," Yustef mumbled from my behind. I didn't even notice that he was done doing his part in hiding the boat.

"Let's get going, we have to find her." Clint utter, just who on earth would take her. Once I found out who he was I will rip him to pieces.

"We can't shift they will detect us once we did that," Yustef said, but it would be faster if we used our wolf because our senses would be much stronger.

"We don't want them getting caught up in us being here. " Yustef added then started moving.

I followed them from behind, we headed to the forest. Something about this place is somewhat familiar. We started climbing the mountain. It took us longer than I expected. We didn't encounter anyone during our hike.

"Are you sure this is the place?" Noah asks again when we reach the top.

"Yes, I saw the same white walls and structure," Eliot answered.

We all stood outside the burned building. I stop to scan the place then something flashed in my mind.

***Vision***

"Hurry up Aiden! We need to run faster!" I turned to follow the little kid in front of me it was Afreo. Someone was chasing after us.

"Amara is still inside!" Someone shouted, I glance at Mulac who is crying while being held by Calixto.

"I'll get her." I mumbled then stop to return to the building. But I was too late the guards had already caught upon us. They started carrying us back.

***Vision end***

"Dwayne let's go." I blink and look at Eliot, it was just the two of us left standing outside the burned building.

"They left already, we decided to check the premises just to make sure," Eliot explained. I nodded my head and started following him.

The structure of the building was still there. I scan the place it was dark. The place looks abandoned like no one ever came here.

When we turn to the right hallway, I stop mid-way when I notice the familiar room. I slowly walk inside it and found the empty room in my memory. I can't be wrong this is the exact empty room that I saw where they gave us the medicine.

"Something wrong?" Eliot ask, I turned to face him. His expression wasn't good. He looks like he somehow feels uncomfortable being in this room.

"Tell me Eliot you've been here right?" I said, he averted his eyes and nodded his head.

"Just what on earth is happening? What are those memories? Are they even real?" I mutter, I can feel my anger. I brush my hair using my hand because of frustrations.

"You will remember everything soon Dwayne. You just have to be patient." He uttered, I didn't answer him and made my way out. I even bumped into him.

I started walking down the familiar path, where the dungeon is located. I slowly opened the old door leading to the dungeon.

It was still intact, the path down the dungeon feel like years. That every step I'm taking the heaviness became unbearable.

I scan the place and it was exactly like how I remember. I slowly walk down the path and stop at the third cell. This is where I last saw her.

My body move on its own and entered the cell. Something started flashing back in my head.

***Vision***

"Aiden wake up! If you don't get up, we will get beaten!" I opened my eyes and saw the familiar face of Mulac. His small hands were shaking me.

I slowly stood up then glance in the direction of the third cell.

"She wasn't there," Afreo said, knowing who he was talking about. I glance at him.

We heard some footsteps and then the guards arrived but they weren't alone. There was a woman with them wearing the same lab coats that the Doctors from before were wearing. She smiled at us and it was giving me goosebumps.

"Hello kiddos, shall we begin?"

And the scene shifts.
