Chapter 12

Normal POV

Years ago…

Two voices were heard loudly from the 9 years old twins who were sitting in the living room. It was an argument between their parents. The younger one a little scare looked nervously at the kitchens door where her parents were currently fusing. The older one hugs her and comforts her.

"Don't worry Fate-chan mom and dad are just not agreeing to where we should go today. It's nothing bad."

"Will they stop arguing after choosing where to go? I don't want dad to leave again and stay at a hotel like last time."

"Dad won't go anywhere he promised us he won't do it again, remember?" Fate nodded. "So stop worrying it will be fine."

"Okay, Alicia."

As Alicia comfort a little more her sister, they parents came out the kitchen to stand in front of them. Their father spoke first.

"Alicia, Fate you will decide where we should go since your mother and I can't come to an agreement." He glared at his wife for a moment before looking at his to angels with a smile. "Would you girls want to go to today's baseball game or to the mall?"

Alicia was the first to answer. "I want to go to the mall."

A smile came from her mother happy to see her oldest daughter on her side. Fate on the other hand thought long and hard while to looking at her parents. It's been a while since they have done something they father wanted to do with them. It should be fair that this time, dad gets his way.

"I…I want to go to the baseball game."

"That's my baby girl." He looked at his wife. "See I'm not the only one that wants to see tonight's game."

"Fine, than go to your stupid game but I'm not going. I rather call Lindy and invite her to come with me and Alicia to the mall."

"Suit yourself." He looks at his younger daughter happily. "Come on sweetheart. Lets' get ready or will be late for the game."

He went upstairs with Fate to put on their baseball fan outfit while Alicia and his wife headed towards the entrance door. The mother calling her best friend, Lindy on her cell phone to invite her to go to the mall with them.

OoO

It was past 11pm when the game finally ended. Fate was sleeping, carried by her father her head resting on his shoulder. Although she isn't a baseball fan like her father, she still had a great time watching her dad's favorite team win the game. Her father explained throughout the entire game the rules so she could understand what's going on. Once she understood she started to cheer on with her dad and even had the chance to catch a ball hit towards them. Fate's father couldn't be prouder at her daughter when he saw her holding the ball that was hit by his favorite player. Now he was walking in the street, his daughter in his arm walking towards his car that was unfortunately parked far from the baseball stadium. He finally reached his car that was on a deserted street and did his best to open it and put his daughter in the car without waking her up. As he tried to buckle Fate he felt something pressed on the back of his head.

"Give me your money and your car keys." A man with his face mask was holding a gun to his head. "Don't make me repeat myself." He said a little panic when he saw the other man move a little too quickly.

"Okay relax I'll give you what you want just don't shoot." As he reach for his pocket while slowly stepping away from the car, his back still facing the robber, Fate was starting to wake up. At first she didn't understand scene that was going on in front of her so she blink her eyes a few time and looked again. When she finally realized the situation she couldn't help but jump out of the car and call for her dad.

"What the fuck."

The robber wasn't aware that the man he was robbing had a child in the car and in the panic pointed his gun towards Fate. Fate's father seen this ran towards his daughter and embrace her to protect her with his own body. *BANG* A gun shot was heard and a few seconds later a scream of pain. Fate saw her father fall to the floor barely conscious. Blood was on her and her father she looked at it for a few second before falling on the floor unconscious.

"Shit…this is bad." The robber gave up and runaway when seeing some light turn on in the apartments surrounding them.

"F-Fate…" The bleeding father crawled a little to reach his unconscious daughter and check if she got hurt or worst, dead. Panicking, he looked for any trace of a gun wound on her but didn't find anything. "Thank God…" He looked at himself and saw blood everywhere on his upper body. He couldn't really tell where he got hit as his entire upper body hurt. He reached for his phone and dial 911.

"Hello 911, what's your emergency?"

"Help….I've…been shot…"

Two unconscious body where now laying on the ground in front of an open car.

OoO

Nanoha had tears on her cheek. She had thought many time that Fate might have had a bad memory of her past there for didn't want to talk about it but she never thought it would be this bad.

"I was at Precia's house waiting on them with her and Alicia when she got the phone call from the hospital…." Lindy looked at some of the pictures on the shelf across the living room. "We rushed there and found out that Precia's husband passed away just a few minutes before we got to the hospital as for Fate she was still unconscious but unharmed….Precia didn't take the news. She practically lost her mind and was force out of the hospital. I stayed with Fate that night at the hospital till she woke up." Lindy unable to hold on anymore started to cry. Chrono sat close to her and rub her back.

Nanoha felt bad for bring back some painful memory. Yet she still was curious to know why Lindy said that Fate was abused when little. Chrono sensing the confusion Nanoha had when looking at her continued the story for his mother.

"After Fate's father funeral, aunt Precia started blaming Fate for her husband death since the police couldn't find the murderer. She always says that if Fate had not chosen to go to the game he wouldn't have gone and would still be alive… At first she just verbally abuses her. Then she refused to feed her or do anything for her. Fate had sometime come to our place to sleep since she sometime wasn't allowed to come home. We would give her money so she could get some food. Since Alicia was able to snick her in the house whenever she could, she refuses to live with us." He tried to restrain the tears threatening to come out. "We tried to warn her to stop, that it wasn't Fate's fault and that we will alert the authorities if she continued. After a few months we thought she listened to us because she took Fate back. Everything started to go back to normal; well that's what we thought." Tears finally escaped from his eyes. Chrono was no longer able to hold in his tears. "But then…then one day, Fate started to show up at school with bruises all over her body. That's when the physical abuse started. She… always beg Alicia and I to not tell my mother or the other adults why she had these bruises for fear that they arrest aunt Precia… For at least… a year… I didn't say anything." Chrono tried to calm down his wife was now sitting next to him, holding his hand. "I also… didn't want aunt Precia to be taken away… so I kept it a secret until one day Fate ends up in the hospital. That's when Alicia and I realized the mistake we've made for not telling and so we told my mother and the doctor everything….I didn't want my sister to keep on suffering and accusing herself for the death of her father." He looked at his mother now crying even more. "Precia was arrested and put to jail….Years after…she…she…killed herself a few weeks after Fate went to visit her to announce she was engaged. Till this day we don't know why aunt Precia did that."

Nanoha gasps before putting her hand in front of her mouth. She felt really bad, to know that the woman she loved had suffered so much for years not to mention had lost both her parents in a tragic way.

"I'm so sorry….I didn't know. I shouldn't have asked."

"You didn't do anything wrong, you didn't know." Lindy looked at Nanoha and tried to smile a little. "Just please bring Fate back to us and take care of her. She deserves to be happy. And I believe that you can make her happy. I could tell over all the phone calls just how happy she was when she started dating you."

"I'll find her. I'll do whatever it takes to bring her back to us. I promise."

OoO

Jail POV

Sitting on the only chair in the room, I look at the sleeping beauty laying in front of me. I couldn't help but caress her cheek as she seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Then again I was sure she was in a coma since she hasn't woken up since yesterday when my cousin bit her up. As I looked at her, memories of the past came back to me. A smile came to my face.

"Precia, you should see your daughter now. She's still as beautiful as a goddess." I laughed a little while removing some bangs from Fate's face. "If you had accepted our engagement like she wanted you to I… you would have been out of jail by now and not dead…." I took Fate's hand in mine. "I must admit that if I wasn't so greedy and just be content with having one goddess I would have you at my mercy long ago." I then stood up and walk towards the table not far from the bed and took the syringe that was on a plate. "I lost you once but I won't lose you a second time, my love." I walk back to where my sleeping beauty was and carefully sting her with the syringe right on the veins of her neck, pouring all the liquid that was in it. "I'll make you mine and I'll make sure of it."

OoO

Normal POV

It was 7:30am and Nanoha just drop off her daughter and Einhart to school. She was now rushing towards the hospital. After last night dinner with her lover's family Nanoha didn't feel good. She cried all night long in her room, calling Fate's name over and over again. She couldn't even imagine just how much Fate suffered and all this time she hides it. Well not completely cause Nanoha could sometime see it through her sad eyes. And now she felt like she had to hurry up and find Fate before something really bad happens. She entered the parking lot of the hospital and parks it not far to an entrance. She got out of the car quickly and got in the hospital. Once in there she rushed towards the room where Yuuko was taken care off. Signum was in front of the room door talking with Shamal when Nanoha arrived.

"Morning' is Hayate here already? Can we start questioning this guy?"

"Morning to you Nanoha. Hayate isn't here yet but she won't take long. She ordered me not to let you in until she arrived." Signum said while standing like a body guard in front of the door.

"But…we don't have time to lose Fate…"

"I know Nanoha, I know but we are professional and we must do are job in that way. What you did yesterday could have put you off this case if it wasn't for Hayate's miracles."

"I…" Nanoha looked down. "I'm sorry about that. I've let my emotions take the best of me."

"Don't worry about it. But now you must wait for Hayate" Signum looked behind Nanoha as two silhouette approach them from a far. "And it looks like you won't have to wait long."

Nanoha turn around to see Hayate and Vita walking towards them. "Goodmorning Hayate-chan, Vita-chan." She turned back to Signum. "Now let me in."

Signum sight and shake head before stepping away from the door to let Nanoha in followed by Hayate and Vita. A hand rested on her shoulder and she turned to see who it was.

"You can't always control your emotions when you're in love." Shamal told her with a smile. Signum froze for a second with a flustered face making Shamal giggle a little. "Cute. I was hoping you had that reaction."

"I…I…"

"Say…I know this is not the time to ask but still I can't help but want to ask if you would like to have lunch…or dinner once you're on a break?"

"…"

"…Of course if don't want to…"

"Lunch…lunch would be great…Dinner too." Signum was at a lost. She never thought that she would be so…unbalanced by someone she barely new. Not to mention how exited she was to finally have some private time with Shamal that intrigue her since she saw her at Chrono's office. Never had she felt that way before and she determined to find out what were these feelings.

Shamal chuckled. "Well than I don't mind having both. Lunch and dinner it is. I will leave you to your work now. If you girls need me just ask a nurse to come find me." She then waved goodbye as she walked away from the blushing once stoic woman in from of the door.

"Are you coming in or are you planning to keep on daydreaming until your crush come back." Signum jump away from the smirking Vita. "I want ice cream everyday for two weeks if you want me to keep this a secret from Hayate."

Signum swallowed loudly and looked slightly pale imagining all the horrible teasing and embarrassment Hayate would do to her. "Deal. Now let's go in." And they both went in.

Zafira was already there in a corner watching on the now awake Yuuko who looked…lost. Hayate was sitting on a chair next to Nanoha who had a tape recorder and her, a notepad. As soon as Vita and Signum came in she started the questioning.

"Good morning Mr. Tamachi, I'm Commander Hayate Yagami and this is Capt. Nanoha Taka…"

"Is it my birthday? Aaawwesome having two hot babes dress as policewoman that's hot." Yuuko said a little in a daze.

"What did you say? Don't you dare…"

"Vita, please don't." Hayate stop her irritated wife. "Sir, do you know why you're here?"

"Yeah we're turning a porn video. I don't do man though I hope it doesn't bother you big guy."

Everyone hold they breathe most of them to try holding their laugh in while looking at Zafira pale face. 'Oh I'm going to enjoy teasing him with this…but right now I have more important things to do.' Hayate look at the man and saw just how serious he was when saying that to them. "Sir, you are in a hospital and under arrest for possession of a stolen gun and illegal drug. Also, you're suspected of possible kidnapping."

"Oh is that the scene we're playing? Okay I'm cool with that. I must admit I'm not famous for having a hu…"

Nanoha stood up and covered the man's mouth. "Listing you as…sir. We're not here to play. Now either you answer our question or I put you in a cell for a very very long time." Nanoha removed her hand from his mouth and hold the neck of his clothes.

The man trembled while looking into Nanoha's furious look. "You're for real. But I didn't do anything. I just woke up with this man watching me." He pointed to Zafira.

"What about the gun and the illegal drug found in your apartment? We arrested you yesterday thus the reason you're here."

"Look I admit I had a gun and drugs in my possession but I had no idea what happened yesterday. All I know is that I was taking some pills and the next thing I know I woke up here."

"What kind of pills?"

"I don't know…it was blue."

"Where did you get it?"

The man thought hard before answering. "I don't remember."

Nanoha tightened her grip. "Don't play with me. You regret it."

"I'm…I'm not. It's the honest truth. Lately I have hard time remembering stuff. I got fired because of that not to mention drop out of school…Oh I remember now. I bought the blue pills because the man that sold it to me told me it would make me better. I won't need to study hard to graduated…I think that's what he said. Was it?"

The man looked confused and Nanoha couldn't tell if he was just that stupid or if he was messing with her. She let go of the grip and looked at Hayate who sight before getting up.

"One more question Mr. Tamachi."

"Who me? Oh yeah that's my name I forgot sorry?"

Hayate was shocked. 'Something not right with this guy.' She took a picture of Fate out of her jacket's pocket."Do you know this woman? Her name is Fate T. Harlaown."

"Yeah I know her."

"YOU DO?" Everyone shouted in the room.

"Yeah she's my sister, right?" Everyone face palmed. "I saw her at that man's house…no wait she can't be my sister. I don't have a sister. Do I?"

"Wait what house?" Nanoha asked.

"Huh what…oh my dealers lab wait no…house it's in the…I don't remember? But his lab is in the ghetto near west of the city. Sorry but I don't remember the address thou."

Nanoha was about to say something but Hayate stop her. "Ok thank you for your corporation. We will now leave you. But Zafira will still keep an eye on you." She turns to Signum. "Signum, could you go get Dr. Shamal for me and let her know Mr. Tamachi condition." Signum just nod yes and left the room. She faced Nanoha. "Nanoha I know what you're thinking and I also think we should check on that lab he mentioned. You and Vita will go on and search for it with the help of Shari while I'll make some phone calls and send those blue pills to the lab. Their might be the cause to his random memory lost."

"Alright let's go Nanoha." Vita said while walking out the room.

"I'm right behind you."
