DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything.

I just want to say, i know Victor is out of character. Let's just picture it as after the elixer was gone, and there is no reason to be mean anymore!

*Nina's POV*

I felt someone in the room with me. I could tell it wasn't the person keeping me in this prison. I hated being in this state. Everyday, I would come here and lay down, and then I wouldn't remember anything. I would wake up in my bed. I had no idea what was going on around me. I was so confused.

I felt memories come to me, but they just weren't registering. They were there, but not showing up. I felt like the perfect example of "It's on the tip of my tongue".

After a few memories were rejected, I felt the most powerful shock if you will run through my mind.

SIBUNA

Everything flashed back in my head. It was like I had a TV running inside me. Everything came back. My whole life, and everything that had happened.

Amber, Patricia, Mick, Mara, Jerome, Alfie, Trudy, Victor, Gran, America, school, Anubis, England, Sarah, the elixir, the Cup of Ankh, Rufus, the cellar, the attic… Fabian.

My eyes shot open, I sat up and gasped for air that had never been taken away. I looked around, and finally caught a glimpse of Fabian. The guy that I loved. He was standing there with his jaw on the floor.

He grabbed my face in his hands. "Nina! Nina! Nina! Nina!"

I looked into his eyes as he mirrored me. I was back. I wasn't a robot anymore. I wasn't a science experiment. I was Nina. I was with the guy I loved. "Fabian." A tear ran down my cheek. It was a mixture of emotions. Fear, excitement, relief, love.

Fabian wiped it away with his thumb. "It's okay, I'm here. You're safe."

I smiled at him, but our moment was rudely interrupted by the cocking of a gun. Fabian and I looked towards the door to see my captor. He had a gun pointed at Fabian and I. His face held a look of disgust.

Fabian gasped. "Jason."

Jason Winkler took a step towards us, and we both scooted back. I ripped the wires off my head and held onto Fabian for dear life.

"What the hell is going on here? Hmm?" He held his eyes open wide in a questioning manner.

"You know what's going on, Jason. You're caught." Fabian stepped towards him, but quickly came back to my side.

I clung to his arm. I knew what Jason was capable of. He was being paid by some unknown organization to do a study on the brain drain. I just happened to be the lucky victim. He knew that he could control me with a snap of his finger. He could do two things. One was drain all my memories of the day, or two, shoot me. Thankfully he hadn't picked door number two.

Fabian and Jason were arguing back and forth about what was going to happen once he was found out. And Jason was threatening to shoot. While the two of them battled it out, I slipped off the table and grabbed the computer monitor with both hands. I cradled it in my arms and without missing a beat, threw it at Jason.

He fell back with an oomph. Fabian punched him in the face and grabbed my hand. We ran from the room, and straight outside. It was pouring down rain. The worst I had ever seen. The lighting looked like it could hit us at any moment, and the thunder was like a thousand drums being played all at once. Fabian never let go of my hand.

We ran through the woods, dodging trees and thorn bushes. The ground was soft and lumpy which made it hard to run. My hair was plastered to my face at weird angles, and my skirt had a rip in it from a pricker bush. Fabian's shirt was sticking to him and his shorts were riding up. We didn't stop, though. We knew he'd be coming. His stomach might hurt, and his face might be throbbing, but he'd still be coming after us. There was no way he was letting the secret out.

We ran until we couldn't run anymore. Literally, we couldn't. We came to a cliff. It was a straight drop. I didn't realize I was falling until I was in the air. I started to scream, but Fabian grabbed my arm. I was holding on by a thread, and I was scared for my life. Tears ran down my face, and my life flashed before my eyes. "FABIAN!"

"Nina, it's going to be okay. I'm going to pull you up!" He started pulling me up, and I managed to lift my other arm up for him. Eventually, he pulled me up and into his arms. In the midst of the rescue, Jason snuck up behind us.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" He had the gun at his side. Like Fabian and I, his hair was matted down, and his clothes were sopping.

I felt like I was on the American show Lost. The episode when the creepy dude, Ethan, comes looking for Claire, and they're all hiding in trees. The rain is coming down, and it's a face off between them. Then Charlie comes and kills him. I was really hoping Fabian and I weren't going to be Ethan.

Fabian held his hand out. "Please, Jason, don't do this."

"Too late." Jason smirked.

Fabian held me tight and we both tightened up.

We heard the gun go off. I held my hands out and immediately looked down at my stomach and chest. Nothing. If he hadn't shot me, then… I tuned towards Fabian. My eyes were as wide as the moon. He looked just as shocked as I did. He was unharmed as well. Then we looked forward to see Jason laying on the ground, and Victor with a smoking gun.

OH MY! Bet you didn't see that coming! Chapter 11 coming soon!

Exams are this week, so yeah...enough said.

Thank you soooo much for over 100 reviews! This is great! So please keep it up!
