Looking out the window at the city I now love saddens me just a little as I look at the one man that truly meant something to me. My grandfather rescued me and raised me to be the best of the best. He raised me to fight for a world that all abnormals could be free. A world that my grandfather and so many others want desperately.
"Sarah you know what you have to do"
"Yes, grandfather"
"Remember, do not tell them about your home. Everything will be revealed soon enough"
"Yes grandfather. How is she?"
"She is doing alright now, a little shaken but Will made a bold move. Now go Sarah and remember stay hidden"
I soon look at my grandfather and I slowly walk away. Teleporting out of our home and onto the surface world. My goal to watch over a woman who is working to give that freedom to abnormals of all sorts. She rescued so many abnormals and integrated them back into society or kept them in her home to watch over them. I was to now look after her. To help fulfil her goal, to help fulfil a dream that I was raised to love and cherish in my heart. A freedom for all of those innocent ones. I was to stay in the shadows. Never to reveal myself unless absolutely necessary. So that is what I did, the shadows protecting me as I watched a woman who seemed so familiar. All of them seemed so familiar. Yet no matter how much I watch them the memories did not come to me. Nothing came to me except for the moment my grandfather wakes me up in the hospital. Him standing there while I lay on a bed. My memories fuzzy as hell, nothing even coming to mind and yet as my grandfather stares at me his hand rubbing my hair back and I just look at him.
"Hey Sarah, you were in an accident. How are you feeling?"
"Better" my voice sounding groggy as I stare into his eyes.
I am quickly pulled away from my thoughts when I see the woman I am suppose to protect. I am still hidden in the shadows when I hear her crying. Her cries echoing in my ear as I watch her. Her tears staining her pillow as she holds onto a picture. Two little girls smiling away holding onto each other. One older then the other. Her cries barely audible but her tears revealing more then everything.
"M-My girls, my beautiful angels" her sobs echoing in my ears as I watch her curled up in her bed. Her eyes puffy and red and soon she drifts off to sleep. Her hands still clinging to the picture. Soon I leave and I finally feel the sweet abyss of sleep taking over my body. My mind wandering to the sweet memories I have of the home I miss so much. The grandfather that taught me everything, the place that became a part of me that I hold so dear to me. Soon I get the transmission. The one I waited for the whole day. The one that must be kept secret for the sake of all of us.
"Good night my sweet princess, the love of my life" my eyes wandering over the simple text that courses over a device I had to smuggle out. A device that would simply mean my imprisonment if anyone ever found it.
"Good night my sweet prince" my voice echoing on deaf ears. Slowly I drift off to sleep dreaming of my life back home. Dreaming of the people I miss so dearly, dreaming of the one man that means more to me then the freedom of abnormals. And yet my dreams are more riddled with fuzzy memories and images. Things that I do not know anything about. Running through a field, myself and another girl giggling away as we run around and then I fall. My head hitting a rock as my cries of pain echo in the air. The other girl looking at me as the fear courses through my face and suddenly she lifts me up. Carrying me to a large house just above a hill. The sun shining brightly on it as it stands proud and strong. Both of us jumping as the other girl carrying me rushes into the house. Her voice echoing something and then I quickly wake up. My head blurry, my eyes straining and suddenly I feel my nose begin to bleed. I quickly wipe the blood away and I look at the time. They should be up Helen Magnus should be doing her duties already. I quickly put on a new set of clothes and I prepare myself. My grandfathers words echoing in my ears as I practice.
"Breath Sarah, always remember to breath. Move with the air, move like the water, use your powers. And of course breath" his voice soft and subtle. My mind imagining an invisible opponent and my body fighting that invisible opponent. Suddenly I am broke out of my train of thought and I hear the familiar ping of the messaging device.
"I will come for you soon my love, I miss you dearly. A video will play at the end. I love you my princess Sarah" a smile forms on my mouth as I see my birthday playing over on the messaging device. A hologram of my lover and I dancing away to the most romantic music I have ever heard and yet my eyes never leaving the man that I grew to love. The man that captured my heart and soul, the man that will forever love me. Everyone in the room watching in awe as we dance away. The love we have spreading over everyone as they watch happily. And soon the music ends and so do we. Him gently bowing as the cheers and applause fills the air. I slowly close the messaging device and I look at the shadows, my smile soon wiped clear from my face as I take one step in and disappear. Helen Magnus needs me to focus. Helen Magnus needs me to be there for her. I have to protect her, the future of my love and I depends on it.
