A large group of people sat around a bed that had all sorts of medical equipment around it.  They all looked at the bed's occupant with sorrow.  Doctor Tauros checked all the monitors near the bed while also scribbling down a few things on a note pad.  He then turned to his son, who had taken the seat near the bed and was holding his wife's hand.

"Leon, her health is stable but something in that bullet, I don't know exactly what it was but it seems to keep her in a coma like state.  I don't know when she will wake up." Everyone looked tearfully at the almost lifeless form in the bed.  Bevin clamped a strong grip on each Mark and Fawna's shoulder.  The two younger ones looked up at him, he gave a reassuring smile even though itself was filled with sadness.

Leena was about ready to cry, she had mysteriously lost her husband and now her sister-in-law.  She ran from the room, Naomi went after her to see if she was okay.  Eventually everyone began to leave except for Doc and Leon.  Bevin walked to the room where he knew his aunt was before she rushed out.  He'd figured there was some type of clue there.  He opened the door, and spotted a girl sitting at the table.

He narrowed his eyes, "Who are you!?!"

She merely looked at him with a ghostly look to her eyes, like she was much older than she let on, "I am here to help.  I don't want to hurt you."

Bevin's senses were telling him to believe her, but thanks to the stubbornness he received from his mother he refused to believe it.  "I can't trust you until you tell me who you are and what you want."

"Alright….."  she hopped down from the table and walked slowly over to him and held out a hand, "My name is Amara.  And I want to help you find your father and cure Ashley."  She brushed a hand through her greenish hair and stared at him.  He was a bit taken back by how he felt her violet eyes pierce into his soul.  He stepped back and the door opened again.

"What's going on?" Mark asked as he walked into the room he noticed Amara standing in the middle of the room.  "Who's that?" Amara looked up and smiled at Mark, Bevin was a bit shocked that she could smile.  She walked over to Mark and held her hand out.

"Mark the last time I saw you were just a baby."  Mark raised an eyebrow at her.

"But you look the same age as me!"

"Looks can be deceiving," She giggled softly and she walked over to Ashley's computer and tried to reboot it.  "Great, there's a lock on it.  With my puny skills with computer's it will take forever to get it open."  She looked at the two young men.  "Bit Cloud is an unique person, something was done to him as a child when he and Ashley survived the fire that killed your grandparents.  Obviously Ashley finally decoded the information I stole from the hospital records before getting destroyed."

"Wouldn't you know what was the data about since you gave it to my mom," Mark asked.  Things were starting to get even more interesting.  Amara shook her head.

"I am sorry I only retrieved the data never had the skills Ashley had to decode it all," Amara said sadly.  Mark patted her on the back for comfort.  Bevin raised an eyebrow.

*****

Bit groaned as he felt like his head was dropped on by a ton of lead.  He opened his eyes, but his vision was blurry his head felt extremely dizzy.  He noticed three people were standing around him; he was also chained to a table face up.  Almost like he was in a hospital room.  He began to hear the voices around him speaking more and more clearer.

"Is it possible it still works?  After at least 25 years?"

"There's a chance that it could work we spent a lot of money on that project."

"Too bad we couldn't experiment on that Ashley girl, at least the shock managed to erase some of the memories from the incident."

"But she got most of them back by now."

"Not all of them though.  And that's VERY good on our part."

"How did she find out about the project on Cloud we did after the fire?"

"That's a mystery, thankfully we were able to poison her.  Don't know exactly when she'll wake up but it will be a while."

"Uh sir?"

"What is it now!?!"

"What about Lila Tauros' children and grandchildren.  If I'm not mistaken Bit has a son that is one of her grand children."

"Oh yeah.  That could ruin everything!!  We need to make some adjustments to the plan.  How many descendents are there anyway?"

"Let me check……..five sir."

"Five!!!  Damn, they sure can make a big family!!"

"Well we'll have it taken care of shortly."

"Good start the procedure." Bit felt his mind to start to sway and then immense pain shot up his spine and everyone went black.
