Chapter 2: forgoten memories

Somewhere on the outskirts of town, AC hornet:

"Hmm…2 hours and she still hasn't said a word since we left." I looked back to find her sleeping in the seat behind mine. Guess all that worrying wore her out.

I became an orphan when I was 12. My father died on a mission when I was 10. My mother fell into deep depression and died 2 years later. I was reluctant enough to find a AC garage where they allowed me to stay. Some of the veterans where even nice enough to give me clothes and enough food to survive. I liked watching the mechanics build and repair the ACs. That was how I met Katie.

Flashback:

I was in the hanger where the ravens stored there AC's. Watching the AC's leaving and entering when I saw the most beautiful girl I ever saw, carelessly walking about. Not looking where she was going, she walked right into the path of a AC. A ran as fast as I could, grabbed her and lunged right before the ac stepped on both of us. When we landed we landed hard, well, I landed hard. All I could remember was hitting the ground, my wrist hurting like hell, and some ravens commenting my bravery. Then this guy came up to her checking to see if she was all right and she just pointed at me and said "he saved my life". End flashback

Well to make a long story short. He asked where my parents were. I said I didn't have any. Then he asked if I wanted to stay with them and I accepted. I've been watching over her ever since. I turned around to find her awake. "We should be there soon." She leaned forward and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek. "Thanks" "for what?" "For every thing." I turned the cockpit seat around to find smoke coming from the distance. "We are here."
