Chapter 5
I don't own the thunder birds i just using them, but Amanda, Lucy, and Daivd are mine.
"Nnn.. What happened? Where am I?"
"Shh… Everything will be okay. You are very dehydrated, and need to rest." The quiet, soothing voice of a young woman filled the darkness of the room not far from where Amanda laid.
"Okay. Wake me up in time for dinner Mom."
"Okay." The woman's soft voice spoke again as Amanda drifted off to sleep once again.
Next Day
"Ah, awake are you, don't worry your safe. Are you feeling any better?" The young woman asked as Amanda forced herself into a sitting position; she had a very startled and confused look on her young face. The woman could only smile before offering Amanda a brief explanation. "I found you out side my front door; you were in pretty bad shape. I have some questions I would like to ask, if that is okay with you." The young woman asked then paused and waited for an answer.
"Okay."
"First off my name is Lucy, now what is your name and where did you come from? How old are you?"
"My name is Amanda, I don't know what my last name is. I don't know where I come from. I don't remember much of anything before the last two years. I was hurt and punished for things unclear to me, the man who hurt me said he was my father, but that just feels wrong." Amanda paused for a moment to think about her last statement before she took a deep breath and continued. "I think I am 15 or 16, I'm not sure though." Amanda said to Lucy.
"You must be hungry and in need of a nice hot shower, I'll make lunch and get you some clean clothes." Amanda nodded her head and went to the bathroom, as Lucy went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two of them.
Once in the quiet kitchen Lucy turned on the T.V., and put the news on.
"This is the 12:00 news and I'm Paula Frank. We are now going to Frank Black live in London where a major earthquake has just hit. Now to you Frank." Said the red haired newswoman.
"Thank you…" The T.V. was turned off as Amanda walked in to the kitchen.
"So, Amanda where do you want to go, how can I help you? Do you want me to help you find out how you really are?" Lucy asked as she put a turkey sandwich on the table.
Amanda smiled and sat down at the table. "Don't get me wrong Miss Lucy, but I don't really know you that well and I just want to do one thing." Amanda said
Lucy raised a delicate eyebrow and nodded her head. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want too. I just want to help you, my sister lost her memory too, but now she has it back. I think your family would like to see you again. So what do you say? Do you want to get a blood test to find out who you are, or do you just want to forget them and never figure out who you really are." Lucy said with worry written on her face.
"You would help me just out of the goodness of your heart. For someone you don't even know. Like I said before, the one that had me said that he was my father, but I heard him talking to his workers about some guy and called him my father. I want to meet him, but I don't remember his name. They kept telling me that I should blame the Thunderbirds for all that they put me through. I don't now who the Thunder Birds are, but I want to find out. I want to meet my father" Amanda told Lucy with sorrow laced in her voice.
After about 4 minutes of just silence and eating Lucy looked at the clock, it read 12:45 pm.
"Amanda would you mind helping me with my horses, I would very much appreciate it. Then I will get the truck ready and drive you to the hospital for a check up. What do you say?" asked Lucy.
Amanda nodded her head in answer, and followed Lucy to the barn to help with the feeding, watering, grooming, and cleaning of the stalls.
Later that day
"Alright now we have the chores done lets go shower, change and get to the hospital to see if we can get find out who you really are." Lucy says as she handed Amanda a new pair of clothes.
After showering and getting everything together, Lucy and Amanda went to the old truck, and left the Ranch, the turned onto a dirt road and headed toward the city.
"Miss Lucy, how far do you live from the city?"
"About an Hour and a half."
Amanda nodded her head, as they continued to make their way down main Highway. When Amanda saw one of The Hoods black cars she gave a startled gasp.
"Oh Shit!" Amanda said as she ducked under the window of the truck.
"What's wrong Amanda" Lucy asked, concern filling her features as she stole a glance at the young girl next to her.
"The man that had me is in that car." Amanda said in a small-terrified voice.
"Just stay down and don't worry they are speeding up and turning down the exit ramp to the forest trail. So just calm down okay." Lucy reassured Amanda.
Amanda did calm down and sat up in the seat. Amanda and Lucy made small talk on the way to the hospital to make the time fly.
The City
"Scott why are we hear again?" Gordon asked as he followed his brother down the busy city street.
"Because dad wanted to us to get the new engines for Tracy one and Tracy two. You are really a bird brain." Scott told his younger brother.
Scott and Gordon were just crossing the street when a truck slammed on its breaks.
"OH SHIT!" yelled both Gordon, Scott and the two people in the truck.
The two people jumped out of the car and ran to see if they were all right.
"Oh my god I am so sorry I didn't mean to do that." Said a young woman with blond hair and brown eyes.
"Its okay we are not hurt in any way, just scared out of our wits." Scott said to the young woman.
"Let me make it up to you and buy you a late lunch. It's the least I can do." The young woman said.
Scott looked at his brother who just shrugged his shoulders and said okay.
"My Name is Lucy and this is Amanda. We are just going to the hospital to get a blood test to see who her family is. She has lost her memory and wants to meet her family." Lucy told them
Scott and Gordon turned to see a young blonde girl that look a lot like their mother. Scott knew immediately that this was his missing little sister.
"Amanda is that you? Is that really you? Gordon its Amanda, can you believe it, it's our little sister, we finally found her!" Scott said in pure happiness as he moved to embrace her.
Amanda was looking at the two young men and got a searing headache. Like something was trying to force its way back into her mind.
Flashback
"Scott, I'm scared. There are monsters under my bed, and they are going to eat me when I fall a sleep. Can I sleep in here with you please." Asked a six-year-old Amanda.
"Who told you that there are monsters under you bed?" Scott asked as he tried to hide his smile from the frightened girl.
"Gordon, he said that when I fall a sleep they were going to eat me and I would never see any of you again. I'm scared Scott, I don't want to be eaten I want to see you and daddy tomorrow and forever and ever." Cried Amanda
Scott picked Amanda up and put her in bed with him and tucked her in. She curled up to him and fell asleep immediately, Scott soon followed but not after promising to hurt Gordon in the morning.
End FlashbackThe memory quickly faded only to be replaced by another one shortly after.
FlashbackAmanda was walking down the beach her home on the island and saw Thunder Bird 1 and 2 take off for anther mission. She was proud of her family, but sad at the same time. Something could go wrong at any given moment and she wouldn't even be able to help. Gordon had told her that if anything happened to him that she could have his medals, and that he loved her for all his life.
She too told him that if any thing were to happen to her that he could have her bracelets. Amanda had only been 9 at the time.
The guys returned and Amanda jumped them all at the door to the silos.
"Guys how'd it go was everything smooth, I want to hear everything."
"Whoa slow down Panda we need to take a break ok then we will tell you everything. Ok." Said her older brother Gordon. As he, Scott, Virgil, and her dad sat down in the living room.
"I'll get you guys some water, I bet you guys need it." Panda said as she went to the kitchen to fix them all a glass.
End FlashbackAmanda headache became too much for her and she collapsed. Scott caught her as she fell and pulled her to his chest and held her there. To him it almost felt like she would just disappear if he let her go. Him and his family have been looking for her for 2 years now and they finally found her, there was no way he was going to loose her again.
Lucy looked back and forth between Amanda and the young men. When Amanda fainted, she sprang into action.
"Put her in the truck and get into the back, I'm taking her to the hospital. Now do it!" Lucy told them with force.
With that Scott got into the front seat and put Amanda on his lap and held her in his arms. His mind was going a mile a minute.
'We found her! We finally found our baby sister and we are not going to lose sight of her again.' Scott thought.
When they got to the hospital they brought her into the emergency waiting room. The nurse at the counter saw them and called for the doctor to come quick. The Doctor and other nurse took her and put her on a bed and rolled her out of the waiting room.
"Gordon I want you to call dad and tell him we found Amanda, Here is my cell phone." Scott told his brother before following the nurses and his sister.
Gordon quickly walked outside and called home, the ringing making him nervous and shaky.
"Hello, Scott is that you?"
"Dad this is Gordon, I want to know if you are sitting down."
"Yes I am, what is it did something happen to Scott?" Their father asked.
"No dad Scott's just find, but I have better news. We found Amanda! We are at St. Paul's hospital and I think you should get down here. Dad I can't talk long I want to see if she's ok. So I'm going to go back in ok."
"Yes son go back in and I will be there soon with Virgil and John" Cried Jeff before hanging up the phone.
Tracy Island
Jeff Tracy sat back in his chair and cried, after a while he called Virgil over the intercom.
"Virgil, Fermat, Kyrano, David, and Brains will all of you come to my office now please." Jeff said with a wavering voice.
After he called them he turned to the controls and called John who was in the space station.
"Base to Thunder Bird 5 can you read me."
"I read you dad. What's wrong?" John asked as he saw tears run down his fathers face.
At that time everyone else came in to the office, to see Jeff with tears cascading down his face, but happiness was shining is his blue eyes.
"What's the problem dad? Is there something wrong with Scott and Gordon?" asked Virgil.
"I want everyone to sit and then I will tell you, ok."
Everyone took a seat were they could fine one. Jeff looks at everyone to see that they were ready for then good news.
"I have some very good news, your brother just told me that they have found Amanda. We need to get to the hospital to see if she is alright. I want Virgil and David to go up to Thunder bird 5 to get John and bring him here. I think he would love to see Amanda face to face. Now get a move on it." Jeff Tracy told them.
'They did it! Oh my God they found Amanda! Oh how I would have dreamed to have been there.' Virgil's mind raced, as he got ready to take Thunder Bird 3 to Thunder Bird 5.
'Way to go Scott, you found our little sister. I can't believe it, after all that looking it paid off. We are finally going to see her. Our little terror of a sister.' John thought to him self
David just cried that his loved one was found. He had such a crush on her that is was hard for him to just live with out her. When she was kidnapped he had tried to stop The Hood from using his mind control on Amanda from the tubes, but he wasn't strong enough. Now he had a chance to make it up to her and tell her how he felt.
"Thunder Bird 3 is ready for take off." Virgil said to his father.
"Thunder Birds are Go!" Jeff replied to Virgil.
