AN: Okey here's the next chapter… unfortunaly there is a LOT of talking, which I don't normally do, but it's because there need to be a lot explaining to be done! Anyho plz enjoy reading ^^ :D
When she finally woke up she didn't see much at first, she was lying on a bed in a strange room. The room was quite small, there were only a bed, a bedside table and some chairs. The room was light blue and the bed was dressed with white sheets, the chairs appeared to be of a light wood with metal legs. The lights were out so the only light source came from the covered window that resulted in a very dim looking room. She thought there were windows anyway…
She tried to remember what had happened, but everything was a big black nothing, her memories mixed together and all she could remember was the strange feeling. It was still nagging her, that strange feeling that wouldn't leave her alone. She wasn't feeling anything now but she could still remember the weariness the feeling brought.
Her head hurt and her chest felt constricted, something was wrong and it physically hurt. It felt as if something was squishing her lungs and heart and tried to choke her but not fully kill her. It was mostly annoying.
The room was quite, she didn't hear a single sound even from the outside.
She was wearing a pair of white loose pants with a loose t-shirt, no marks, no brands, nothing to disclose about where she was. She was guessing a hospital, but why was she there? She hadn't hurt herself and she wasn't sick… well not that she knew…
Suddenly a door opened and two men walked inside, the first one was a middle aged man, about 35-40 she guessed, but he was pretty handsome, with a clean face but with defined lines, he looked strict and stoic with dark eyes and dark blonde hair. He wore a pair of jeans with a dark red and green shirt. The other one was younger, perhaps 20-25 years old, he had a worried expression but beneath that he was glad. He had a gentle face which shined with a youth which made it difficult to figure out the proximity of his age. He wore a pair of slim pants with a chain and a white dress-shirt with rolled up sleeves. His brown hair was messy and you could almost see small golden streaks here and there.
They stood on one side of the bed and looked down at her, studying her, they looked worried but it was hidden behind a mask of indifference.
"Hello?" she asked the two men. She was weary of them, they were unsure on how to handle her which usually meant that something very bad had happened or was going to happen.
"Hi, what do you remember, before you fainted?" Asked the older one of them.
"Ehm, I remember being in class, walking up the stairs to the roof, stepping out… and… a shadow…I believe" She answered after some thinking, she was quite unsure about anything actually. "Sorry but that's all I can remember"
The two men stared at her, their gazes were questioning as if they didn't believe her or couldn't understand that her words were the truth. Well if they really believed that she was lying it was their own loss, she couldn't help that these two idiots didn't believe the worlds simplest story. She squirmed under their stares and started to get annoyed by the passive conversation. She just didn't understand what was wrong? Why was she here? Why didn't they believe her?
"Could you stop staring at me and just tell me what is going on?" She demanded. She was growing tired of the silent treatment.
"S…sorry we were just surprised that's all. "Apologized the younger one. She noticed he was nervous, and a little but disappointed as well.
"This might seem as a strange question, but do you remember me? Us? Anyone of us?" Asked the older one, they were apprehensive and looked with caution at her.
She stared at them in disbelief, were they kidding?
"No, sorry I don't know you guys, what is going on? What's wrong with me?" She asked in skepticism, she couldn't believe that they would hold information from her, why were they doing this?
The two men stared at each other and seemed to hesitate. They were unsure about how to handle her, how to break the news. The two squirmed slightly but the older one soon decided to tell her.
"We are in an underground facility which is completely operated by an inter-dimensional organization called the HPO, Humanoid Protection Organization, I am Commander Viggo Købbe Køler, I am a Ranger from Denmark but I am stationed here. This is my bonded Shift, Tracker Matthew Køler from France" Explained the older man. "We are members of the HPO and have been for several years, we're telling you this because you are part of this organization as well."
"Okay very funny, where's the camera, seriously?" she laughed but when she looked at the two men they were serious, they weren't smiling… this wasn't a joke.
"We are serious, please just listen" said the lad called Matthew. "You are a very important member, you are a High Captain Commander of the HPO and the Prime of Sweden, you're the strongest Ranger of Northern Europe and you never back down from a fight of any kind. You are always at the frontline to protect everyone and everything you hold dear."
The bonded pair looked intently on her and searches for a glimpse of recognition, something to tell them that the girl, no the woman, they think they know, knew, still lingers in her consciousness. But there was only confusion, she looked scared. She didn't understand anything, why would this people say these things, there was no way she was a military commander, or a… prime or was it ranger?
"Do you remember anything of this?" asked Matthew almost desperately.
"No, of course not! This is insane! You're crazy if you think I would believe this!" she expressed. She sat up in the hospital bed and clenched her hands in the covers, her hands started to sweat and she was slightly shaking. Her dreams tried to make themselves known, they flashed, sparked and flickered in the back of her head. Her fantasies couldn't be true, because then her nightmares would be true as well, then the hollowness and desperate feelings would be hers and the visions then? Would they be true also? No, nothing of this was true, nothing was right, this was just a very bad and evil practical joke. Yes a well-planned, coincidental… witticism. Yeah Right!
The younger one looked stricken, he stared almost hopelessly into the ground but his bonded mate laid his arm around his shoulders and drew him close as his own face was passive.
"We understand that this can't be easy but you have been gone for almost year, we have missed and searched for you everywhere, we never stopped. You are an important part of our organization, you are an important role model to many younger ones and you are a friend to som. You've been through more shit then any of us would like to remember, just as all of us, but you've made your way through it all and always kept fighting. You've motivated some more than they like to admit and you told us yourself that if you ever forgot this or… wished to, we would remind you. "Viggo continued talking with a calm but firm voice, he looked intently on her as he had a comforting hold on his mate.
She was shaking as he continued, scenes were flashing yet again before her eyes, a training area were young boys and girls were sparring, a green-blue sky with a small sun and two radiating moons, a cold laughter, a boy with black hair lifting her up from a ledge, a girl with orange-brown hair in two long pigtails dressed in a white and blue uniform, a large fighting arena, a battlefield, a jungle, the images continued but none of them continued for long so she could remember and gain an understanding of them. None of them would fit the great puzzle her memory had become, the pieces were scattered and the few she had gained were incomprehensible and didn't fit together. Would the puzzle always be unsolved? It was the most atrocious jigsaw puzzle she ever had the desire of trying to solve.
"What… what is a Ranger?" she asked after a couple of small stories. "and what is a Prime?"
"You do not remember that either?" asked Viggo.
"No, I've had strange feelings of strength and in some scenes, dreams, I've recalled strong smells or sounds that are too loud, they seem… more than normal anyway." She tried to explain "I think they have some kind of connection to these… things"
"They are NOT things" sneered Matthew who had been quiet until now.
"A Ranger is a person, a human, which body's density is higher than normal, which gives us possibility for great strength, speed and agility. Not so we can lift a car or anything like that, but easily punch through a wall. It also means that it is more difficult to harm us, we don't bruise easily or gets cut as simply as a normal human." Explained the Ranger "It also gives us heightened senses, smell, sound, feel, taste and sight are increased depending on how high the density is."
"This also gives us a disadvantage, since our cells density are increased we can't fight of diseases easily and often get sick, the sickness' hits us harder as well." Continued the Danish Ranger. " We can also zone out by focusing on one senses too much, if we haven't focused and calmed our senses in a while it can happen any given moment and another person would have to help us out of it"
"The last and most strange thing that we can do is feel others presences, it's like a sixth sense, it's kind of like when humans feel someone watching them and they feel an itching on the back." Explained Viggo "No one has been able explained it, but the scientist believe it's because of the density of the brain or something alike."
"Everyone has their own presence so there aren't many who could surprise a Ranger" whispered Matthew
She knew the feelings the Ranger explained and a familiarity was spreading in her heart, this was right, this was the truth, but was she really one of these Rangers? She hadn't felt stronger than everyone else or faster, and her senses were normal, everything she heard, heard everyone else. Well except her mother and father, they never hear their telephones ring…
"What about these Prime, you said I was a Ranger and a Prime?" she questioned, she needed more info, she needed to find out if this really was possible, if she really was part of this and if her dreams actually were true.
"Primes are extra strong Rangers, they are relatively rare and only every 1000 Ranger are a Prime, there are specific lines that separates Rangers and Primes. A Prime has much higher density then a human and also quite more than a Ranger, they say that when a Prime reaches a density over 50% they die, since then the brain can't function." Described the Ranger. "Another difference is that since a Prime has over 35% density their brains can conjure a new 'power', some has some sort of telepathy, some gain empathy and some can control temperature."
She couldn't believe this, if she was a Prime, than she had one of these special powers, and how high density would she have… is she close to the limit, could the percentage increase, would she die. Other thoughts soon came into mind when she realized that the explanation of the Rangers and Primes told her of other things. This was an organization, right, well, what did they do?
"Wait, you guys have said you were looking for me for a year! How come I don't remember anything? Why was I gone? How did I disappear?" She asked
"About a year ago you were on a mission, top secret, you were working alone, since you asked to be alone ever since… anyway, on that mission you were drugged and taken down by one of our enemies, they blocked your memories of being a Ranger and placed you back with your family, they managed to infiltrate the entire area but it took time, you were hidden for almost a half a year." Explained Viggo "They took away one year to continue your normal life when you abandoned it"
"…what?" she asked confusedly. She didn't get anything, well… She had been on a mission, alone, when she was defeated and… taken to their hide-out…she guessed. There they had somehow, erased her life of being a…Ranger… and everything that connected to that life. Wait a minute, he said they had put her back with her family… didn't she live with her mother and father? He also said that she had abandoned her normal life… What The Hell!
"I can see the wheels turning in your head" Snickered Matthew.
"You said they put me back with my family, what do you mean by back? Did, did I abandon them?" she said, her voice was slowly betraying her.
"No… for about one and a half year ago you were still living with your family, living a double life, but you, we, have many enemies and one of them managed to track down your location, they decided to attack when you were with your family to hurt you the most. You defended them of course with all your might, there were many enemies and it took quite long for you to disable them all." He started to explain. "When you did and others from the organization had come to help, take the attackers into custody, aiding anyone who could've been hurt and explaining to everyone that saw the attack to cover it up, your family barely looked into your eyes… you told us afterwards, after some careful supporting, that you had expected them to be angry, furious and scared but, you told us that what you saw in their eyes were the worst thing you ever thought of, disgust. You said you saw their hatred and decided to move, to leave them for their own safety, so that they never had to look at their disgusting child ever again."
"But we never thought of you that way, we care about you" Corrected Matthew.
She stared down into the sheets of the bed, memory flashes of harsh and tormented eyes filled her mind, her hands clenched in the sheets so hard that they were white from strain, her hair hung in front of her bowed head as she wept silently, knowing that the life she thought she had lived, were all a lie. That her family would never hug her, would never tell her how proud they are over her, would never tease her, would never sit with her on those endless nights silently watching TV series. She still couldn't remember her old life and the happy times with her friends, with her family, with anyone she had remembered were over.
She had nothing, only a fake life with nothing to contribute and a forgotten life without anything to comfort her.
no
