Lost but Not Forgotten

"Jade?" Rowan asked leaning against the door frame.

Her youngest sister Jade was sitting in the living room reading one of her books and humming softly to her self like she loved to do. Nothing could ever bring down Jade's good mood. And this time Rowan prayed to Goddess she would be right.

"Yes Rowan?" Jade asked looking at her sister though the dark curtain made from her jet black hair

Why did she make this harder then it had to be? .Rowan thought quietly to herself. Then instantly regretted it incase Jade had heard. "We need to talk."

"Why?" Jade asked lying he book down slowly. She had only seen her sister like this a few times before. And this was the side of Rowan that scared her the most. Rowan had that look on her face when she told Jade they were running away, and when they had to bury the body of their great aunt. Something was terribly wrong.

Rowan took a steady breath and kept her mind completely clear from thought. Jade would surely try to get into her mind and search for information but this had to be heard. She crossed the room and sat down next to her youngest sister on the sofa.

"There's been an accident." Rowan started forcing herself to look into her sister's eyes.

"And people got hurt, Jade."

Jade's mind flowed with worry. Who got hurt? Was it one of our own? How can this news possibly affect Rowan so much...unless?

"Who got hurt?" Jade whispered her nails clawing into the sofa.

The next to words that came out of Rowan's were two different blows to Jade, the second more worse then the first. But it needed to be said.

"Mary-Lynette and...Mark."

Jade stopped. She completely stopped everything she had been doing. She stopped sitting, breathing in useless air and tears that threatened to flow down her face. And Jade completely dropped from the world.

"Jade?" Rowans voice was distant. Barely more then a hum over the darkness that inhabited Jade.

"Jade, please come back!" Rowans voice pleaded "They're both alive. Alive Jade! We need to go see them! Come on!"

Jade's body shook but she couldn't feel it. She couldn't feel anything right now. Then she actually listened. Alive! ALIVE! Mark isn't dead! He's Alive! Her true love and soul-mate is Alive! She needed to see him.

"Let's go." Jade said coldly. But the words felt hot on her tongue. Hot with anticipation to see him. To hold Mark in her arms and promise him, things would be alright. And they would be.

. . .

Jade didn't really remember the car ride much. She was busy focusing on him.

Mark? She thought urgently. But got only silence.

Mark please! Jade begged tears forming in her eyes.

Maybe he was too far? Yes! That made sense; she would just have to wait. Something

Jade was particularly not fond of.

"We're almost there." Krestal mumbled leaning back in her seat. She was the only one who seemed completely at ease even though the idea of Mary-Lynette or Mark injured sent shivers up her spine.

"Good." Rowan said as she made a swift turn down the empty road. Even though she was driving she couldn't really focus on how close they were.

Finally the three found the brightly lit brick building that was the Briar Creek hospital and Rowan took a sharp left into the parking lot. Without a word they ran into the lobby with nearly inhuman speed and were surprisingly met by Mr. Carter Mary-Lynette and Mark's father.

"Finally you girls made it." He glanced over them quickly then gestured for them to follow him.

The girls walked silently behind the older man until he came to a top in front of a simple white door with a small window. Mr. Carter grabbed the handle feebly and pushed it open with a click.

Not a single girl was prepared for what they saw.

. . .

Mary-Lynette and Mark we're lying down on crisp white hospital beds breathing quietly. Bandages were wrapped around Mary-Lynette's head and her left arm was in a blue cast.

Mark wasn't much better.

His head was wrapped up in bandages too but instead of just a broken arm, bandges were wrapped over his bare chest over and over.

"Oh, goddess." Rowan whispered putting her hand over her mouth.

Jade ran over to Mark and crouched down to look into his face, intertwining her hands in front of her to keep them from shaking. What happened?

"They were in a car accident." Mr. Carter "But thank god there both alive. But there's something else..."

Mark's eyelids fluttered and he was staring face to face with Jade.

"Mark." Jade breathed leaning in and pressing her lips gently against his.

The kiss was sweet but Marks lips were hard and irresponsive. Jade pulled back and stared into his brown eyes full of confusion.

"Um." He whispered hoarsely "That was nice but...Who are you?"

"Mark?" Jade whispered leaning back. .

"Yes, I'm Mark, but who are you?" Mark asked sitting up slightly. "Are you my girlfriend or something?"

Jade stood up and nearly crashed into Mary-Lynette's bed causing her to wake up herself.

"Oh." She blinked slightly and gave a tiny smile. "I didn't know we had visitors. Mark, are these your friends?"

"Maybe." Mark was still watching Jade who was going paler by the second. "I think she's my girlfriend." he turned to Jade "Are you my girlfriend?"

Jade gasped and stared between the two then at Rowan and Krestal who were just as shocked a she was.

"They don't remember you three." Mr. Carter said flatly. "They barely remember us in fact. Do you think you three can try to help them, you know, jog their memories?"

Rowan nodded while Jade and Krestal stood like ice as the father exited the room.

"We know you?" Mary-Lynette asked curiously.

Rowan nodded. "I'm Rowan. Over there is Krestal and that's jade." Rowan gestured to the Jade who was still in shock and clinging onto the small table in between the beds..

"Those are pretty names." Mary-Lynette smiled little wider. "Are you three sisters?"

"Yes." Rowan nodded "Do you remember anything special about us? Any of us?"

"Well." Mary-Lynette looked between the three girls. "You look familiar. Do you go to my school?"

Rowan smiled softly "No we don't actually. Do you know anyone named Ash?"

Mary-Lynette shook her had softly. "No I don't think so. Should I?"

Krestal turned to Mark swiftly "Do you know who she is?" She pointed to Jade who looked like she was hanging on to the table for dear life.

"Yes." Mark answered and Jade relaxed a little. "Her name is Jade. I think she's my girlfriend right?"

Jade's heart sank. He'd forgotten her. He didn't remember who she was at all.

"But. I feel like I know her." Mark whispered peering curiously at Jade. "I really know you. I just...know it."

Jade relaxed a little again.

"Okay so we know that you three are sisters and your names are Rowan, Jade and, Krestal but." Mary-Lynette looked at each of them with pure curiosity "How do you know us?"

Will Mary-Lynette remember her faithful Ash?

Will Mark remember Jade?
