Chapter 6: Twisted

Virginia couldn't see anything except darkness. Am I dead? she thought to herself, Where's everyone? What's happening?

" Virginia," said a familar voice.

" Daddy!" cried Virginia.

The voice belonged to none other than Werner Maxwell, her father.

" You can't forget who you are," said Werner.

" Daddy," she said, " I can't see you...what's going on? Where's everyone?"

" Beatrice's orignal plan was to take possession of Kaityln so she'd have a permant place on Fligia. She knew Clive would let her live, since the end of her life would mean the end of his daughter's. Even if Clive had ended Beatrice's life, she wouldn't of cared because Kaityln would've died and caused him a life's worth of pain."

" I know that," said Virginia, " But.....Why am I here? You're dead. Am I-"

" No," said Werner, cutting her off, " Since you stopped Beatrice's plans, she had decided to punish you her own way. Through your dreams, to twist memories around until it drives you insane and kills you."

" I'll know the difference!" said Virginia, confiently, " But where's Jet? And Gallows? And Clive? And poor Kaityln....are they alright?"

" They are sucked into their own memories. Remember Virginia, you can fight it. Don't lose sight of who you are."

" Daddy......I'm scared...what if...-"

" Listen! There can be no doubt in your mind about this! The power of defeating Beatrice lies in Jet. He doesn't know it yet. You used his power before to get Beatrice out of Kaityln's body."

" Wait....what?"

" When he was dying, he touched your face right?"

" Yeah..." said Virginia, feeling herself blush.

" He transferred his powers to you. As the Filgia Sample, he has raw power that the planet once had. When you equipped 6 Guardians, they just drew the power out of you."

Virginia understood now. She remembered when Jet had first discovered he was an android, a clone. He had used his blue, raw, energy to defeat Leehalt. Things started to make sense again.

" Daddy, Thank you," she said, but then she opened her eyes.

Virginia was in a field of white flowers, and her father and mother, Ekatrina were there.

Happiness surged within her. All prior knowledge of Werner's conversation with her went out the window. Her parents were alive. And that's all that mattered.

" Mommy! Daddy!" cried Virginia, running towards them.

" Ginny!" said Ekatrina, and she embraced her and Werner.

Everything was perfect. The way things were meant to be. She didn't realize how she was playing right into Beatrice's hands.

" Never leave me again," said Virginia, and began to sob.

" Never," said Werner.

Then, a storm came. A twister, rather. The delicate white flowers were swept up in the whirlwind. Along with Virginia, screaming and crying.

Ekatrina and Werner were far away, now; just watching.

" Noooo!" screamed Virginia, who's cries were drowned out by the wind. " Mommy, Daddy! Why! Just when it was perfect.....WHY???"

" Virginia!" came a voice, Jet's voice, " Wake up! Come on! Don't do this to me! Dammnit.....Please wake up, Virginia. I-I don't know what I'd do if I lost you....."

Soon as Jet's voice pierced through the wind, she remembered all of it. The conversation, the plan. She realized that her own ignorance of her parents death were almost her downfall. She didn't even stop to think. Because if they were still alive, she would never be alone.

I'm not alone, realized Virginia, I have my friends. Clive, Gallows.....and Jet. I'll never truly be alone.

" It's not true!" screamed Virginia, as the winds raged around her, " It isn't! This isn't my memory and I know it! You can't fool me, Beatrice!"

With those words, the storm subsided and she landed on her feet with ease. Then, the atmosphere changed drastically.

It was the Baskar Colony, but it was deserted. She braced herself for another false memory and walked through the village.

Luna: Okay!! Done!! Yay! Next Chapter Remembrance.
