REVIEW RESPONSE
PurpleCobra247: I'll have to take my time with this one. It will be a lengthy story. Just reads this chapter and you'll see. Glad I have your interest.
Nightw2: And hopefully, the story will be intriguing story. Glad I haven't had any gripes so far. Hope you enjoy the rest.
acosta pérez josé ramiro: I agree. Lola's time between Baby Looney Tunes and Space Jam is pretty much surrounded in mystery and she needed some sort of background. You'll see what Lola's dad is like as the story progresses. You may be surprised.
This chapter will be rather long, as will be the rest up until the final two. I hope that doesn't put you off.
The Meeting With A
When I was out on the deck of the boat I was on, the first person I saw was my aunt Rachiel. Rachiel was a tan rabbit, much like myself in colour but was a foot taller then I was back then and she didn't have a fringe like I had. She was a teacher at a college in the town I lived in, I think she taught chemistry. She was always there when I needed her. She was my fathers' only living family and had taken care of me since I was three years old. In many ways, she was like a mother to me, but I was angry with her because for the whole 11 years I'd lived with her, she'd known that my father was alive and she never told me.
"There you are Rachiel." I greeted when I saw her. She turned and looked at me.
"Lola, you're awake," Rachiel greeted.
"Yeah., I fell asleep." I replied, somewhat bashfully.
"Are you feeling alright?" I didn't reply to her question.
"Lola, you had that dream again didn't you?" Rachiel asked.
"Yes, I did;." I replied bashfully. Rachiel tried to reassure me.
"Try to put it out of your mind. It was only a dream, not real at all. There's no way you could remember something at such a young age. Stop torturing yourself and let it go." She was very strict with things like this. She then looked over the side towards the island.
"Lola, we're almost at the island. I can see it dead ahead. You dad is waiting for you there and I'm sure that he can't wait to see you." Rachiel said suddenly.
"Father." I muttered to myself. I then looked at Rachiel sternly in the eyes.
"Why did you let me think that dad was dead?" I asked her sternly. Rachiel didn't answer.
"Answer me! Why did you lie to me all these years?" I asked again.
"Because I made a promise to your father." Rachiel finally replied.
"What do you mean by a promise?" I asked.
"Ok, I'll tell you now. 11 years ago he yust appeared on my door with you in his arms. This was just after you had turned three. You were so small back then. I was a little surprised as it had been a while since I'd seen him last. He looked tired and agitated." Rachiel then turned solemn, which made me nervous.
"He told me not to question him and to look after you until he came back for you and not to let you know that he was alive." Rachiel then added.
"Why did he say that?" I asked.
"To tell you the truth, I don't know, but I knew that something awful had just happened." At the time, I was too shocked to reply.
"So, under his request, I took you in without question. I was actually too scared to question to be honest as I didn't want to learn anything that might endanger us." Rachiel added. I kept on looking at he.
"And now, Robert has kept his end of the promise and contacted you." Rachiel then said. She then turned solemn again.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you but I made a promise to your dad." Rachiel then added.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rachiel made a promise to your father?" Jessica asked.
"Yep, and she kept that promise for 11 years." Lola replied.
"Did you ever ask about your parents?"
"Occasionally, but whenever I did, Rachiel turned solemn and refused to answer. It saddened me to see her like that."
"It was obvious that she wanted to say but she couldn't" Lola felt the ice pack on her Daughter's forehead.
"Ok, I'll leave that on for a couple more minutes and then I'll get you a fresh one."
"Ok, did you ask Rachiel anything else before the boat arrived?"
"Yes I did, let me think…"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can you tell me about my dad now?" I asked
"Robert is an excellent scientist." Rachiel replied.
"A scientist?"
"Indeed, I think that the machine he sent you is something he made."
"Do you know what he was researching?"
"I think it was memories."
"What do you mean memories?"
"Robert worked in a research lab that specialised in memories. While he was there, he met an accomplished scientist from Japan."
"Who was she?"
"Her name was Hikaru, she was your mother." I decided to ask Rachiel about the device that dad had sent me. I took out the circular device and showed it to Rachiel.
"This device that my dad sent me. It says DAS on the plate. Do you have any idea what it is?"
"DAS? I'm not sure what it stands for." I had a closer look at the DAS.
"There's a camera icon on the bottom screen."
"Really?" I pushed the icon and there was a flash.
"Oops, I think I just took you picture I fiddled with the device and eventually worked out how to view the picture.
"Lola."
"What is it?"
"You are the only person that can use that machine."
"Why only me?"
"Because it registered your fingerprint."
"How did it do that?".
"It's based on a science known as biometrics."
"What's that?"
"A system that reads the physical characteristics of species and then cross checks them with data that has previously been stored. It is on your DAS so only you can use it."
"Neat."
"It is an advanced feature. If it has that then Robert must have something he only wants you to see. You should use the DAS to read that data."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm still a little confused about this bio…metrics." Jessica said.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how it works either." Lola rpelied.
"Should we ask Wile E for an explanation?"
"We'd be given an hour long lecture." Lola joked. Jessica smiled.
"I'd better change your icepack." Lola said. She took Jessica's icepack and went into the kitchen. A few minutes later, she came back and placed a fresh Icepack on Jessica's forehead.
"Much better." Jessica said with a sigh.
"How are you feeling now?" Lola asked.
"Little better, can you continue your story please?"
"Wow, you are intrigued. Anyway…" Lola continued with her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rachiel, what can you tell me about Hikaru?" I asked.
"I didn't know her very well, she was a very strong willed scientist with beautiful eyes that you seem to have inherited." Rachiel replied.
"That's not what I meant! Is she alive or not?"
"I really don't know."
"Please, I want to know the truth. I won't get mad, I just want to know about mum."
"What do you mean?"
"You said she died when I was three as well. Is she still alive or not?"
"Calm down Lola, when we arrive, speak with your father and he will explain everything to you."
"Ok Rachiel."
"Land ho! The captain shouted.
"Looks like we're here." Rachiel muttered.
The boat docked alongside a small pier but father was nowhere insight.
"Dad said he'd meet us here. Where is he?" I asked.
"I can't see anybody either." Rachiel replied.
"Is there meant to be someone coming to get you?" The captain asked.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I can't stay. No matter how much you pay me, I have to leave by nightfall." The captain replied.
"Why isn't dad here?" I asked.
"Perhaps he's somewhere else. Let's go look for him." Rachiel suggested.
"You go alone, I'll stay here." I replied.
"Lola, why are you being difficult?"
"I'm not! I came all this way to meet him and he can't even come to meet us!" Rachiel sighed and began walking off.
"Fine, I'll go look for him, you wait here and don't wander until I get back."
"Ok."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Rachiel had gone off to look for your father alone?" Jessica asked.
"Yep, I wanted to wait foor my dad at the dock." Lola replied.
"Why?"
"Because I felt that he was ignorant for not coming out to meet us, of course I had no idea of what had happened."
"What had happened?"
"I'll get to that later."
"Ok, so what did you do while you were waiting?"
"Let me think back…" Lola then continued her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You look upset, Why the long face kid?" The captain asked. I turned around, a little shocked.
"I'm ok." I replied.
"That lady, is she your mother?"
"No."
"Stepmother?"
"No, aunt. She's my dad's younger sister. She raised me so she is like a mother in that respect."
"She looked after you?"
"Yes, my father left me with Rachiel when I was only 3 and…" I began but the captain cut me off.
"Kid, I don't really need to know the details." The captain said.
"Oops, sorry." I replied.
"Apology accepted. But you do look sad that thislady is gone."
"She'll some back so there's no problem."
"Ok, do you mind if I wait with you?" I didn't answer as I was deep in thought. I suppose I was sad that Jessica was gone. I think I blamed my dad for not coming to the dock.
"Kid!" The captain said. I snapped out of my thought process.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We could talk to pass the time."
"I suppose we could."
"Ok, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well, do you mind if I asked you some questions about you and the island?"
"Don't make them to complicated."
"Ok." I decided to ask him about the island first.
"The island is empty right now, was it always like this?"
"My, you're curious. Well, before my father died he told me that a rich family known as the Rabbits owned this island. But when the master fell ill, bad things began happening."
"What do you mean by bad things?"
"The members of the family started to die, one by one."
"Die? How did they start dying?"
"That isn't clear to be honest."
"Perhaps there was an accident."
"Wait, how old are you?"
"I'll be 14 tomorrow."
"That's too young for you to be thinking about grissly ideas like death."
"Oh, sorry."
"Well, after that incident, the rest of the family just left the island and it's been deserted ever since."
"Deserted?"
"Yep. Folks then dubbed the island 'Blood Rabbit' and the name has stuck ever since."
"Wow."
"Any idea what your father is doing on this island?"
"No, not really."
"Ok, who is your father?"
"Rachiel told me that he was a scientist."
"Sounds like he must be pretty intelligent."
"I don't know him really so I suppose he is."
"You're bright so you must take after him."
"Really?"
"You're very inquisitive, but be careful."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think thete is a logical explanation for everything."
"Ok, thanks for the tip."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mum, did you ever learn the captains' name?" Jessica asked.
"Why do you ask?" Lola asked.
"Because you keep referring to him as the captain."
"Oh.".
"Did you learn his name?"
"No I didn't."
"Ohh, mystery man."
"You definitely take on your fathers' sense of humor."
"I know, did you ask the captain anything else?"
"Let me think…"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then decided to ask about the captain himself.
"When did you become a captain?" I asked.
"A long time before you were even born." The captain replied.
"Wow, you've been a captain for a long time."
"Sure have."
"How long did you want to become a sea captain?"
"I'm not sure. My menory's a bit poor."
"Do people always forget when they grow older?"
"Some do."
"Only some?"
"People only forget what they want to forget."
"And if you want to remember?"
"If you want toremember something, just keep repeating it to yourself in your head and it will sttick in your mind."
"Ok, by the way, do you come here often?"
"No, this is my second time ever. The first time was a good while back with a tall blonde fellow" I got excited at the thought.
"A tall blond fellow? What was his name? He could've been my dad."
"Sorry kid, that information is confidential."
"Ok." By the time we'd finished talking, Rachiel still wasn't back.
"Hmm, your aunt is taking a long time isn't she?".
"Yes, and I'm getting worried."
"Shall I go and look for her?".
"I'll go. She must have found dad and started talking to him. I bet she lost track of time."
"Ok, take these as a treat from me." The captain then gave me a packet of sweets. My eyes grew large with excitement.
"Thank you. I love sweets.".
"Just don't tell anyone."
"Ok, I won't."
After the captain had given me some sweets, I went off looking for Rachiel, but I couldn't see anyyone. I did see an odd looking tree and some large rocks but nothing else. I eventually found a bridge that lead to the main part of the island.
"Rachiel must have gone this way." I said to myself. I then started to worry. Rachiel said that she'd be right back. I then heard a terrible scream coming from the other side of the drawbridge.
"That scream, it sounded like Rachiel. Something's happened!" I ran to the drawbridge but it closed as I reached it.
"Damm. I have to get to the other side!" Looking around the area, I saw a machine that looked rusted. On the machine was a handle that looked like it turned a wheel. Looking at the device, I realised that it must control the drawbridge. I grabbed the handle and pushed on it as hard as I could. The handle was difficult to move but after two complete circles, I was able to lower ther drawbridge again. I crossed the bridgeand found myself on the edge of a forest.
"Rachiel, where are you?" There was no response and I got even more worried. I went further into the forest and called out again and there was still no response.
"If I'd known this would happen I would never have come." I continued on and approached a gate. On the way, I passed a stone with what looked like writing on it. I took a closer look at the stone.
"Property of the Rabbit family." Was written on the stone.
"That was the rich family tthat lived here before" I approached the gate and saw a broken sign next to it. Scattered on the bottom of the sign were pieces of wood that looked like pieces of the sign.
"I wonder if I can put the sign back together again?" I had a go and it wasn't that hard. The sign pointed to the gate and said 'the rabbits mansion'. There was also a drawing on the sign
"Yes, so there is a manison to the left, but what about this logo?" I then took a closer look at the gate. It was locked and the lock mechanism was missing a gear. However, I didn't realise this until I tried pushing the buttons on the gate. I looked to the right and followed the path I found there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where did the path to the right lead to?" Jessica asked.
"It led to a graveyard." Lola replied.
"I bet it was the family graveyard of the Rabbits."
"Yep, and it was there I met a friend that accompanied me through the adventure."
"A friend?"
"If you'll be a little more patient I'll tell you." Lola continued her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I followed the path to the right and saw ana rchway ahead of me, but the path to the archway had been blocked by a rockslide. There was no way I could climb over the rocks so I had to go around them. I went further to the right and found myself in a graveyard.
"Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? It's creepy, and Rachiel is nowhere to be seen." I was a little scared but I had a look around the graveyard. To my right, I saw two gravestones. I had a closer look at the ffirst one. It read…
"George Rabbit
1910-1948"
"George Rabbit, he's from the Rabbit family" I had a look at the gravestone next to it. It read…
"Richard Rabbit
1912-1948"
"What the captain said, his story was true." On the right most side of the graveyard I saw a large stone slab blocking what looked like a way around to the other side of the blockage. I went up to one side and began pudhing it out of the way. After I'd pushed it all the way to the right, It fell over revealing a pathway. I then noticed something on the back of the stone. I read what was on the back of the stone.
"A? What does that mean?" I then heard a voice.
"Who's there?" The voice said. I didn't recognise the voice and got rather scared.
"What was that?"
"What are you doing here?" A cold wind blew as I heard the voice. I was getting even more scared.
"What's going on? Where is that voice coming from?" I then took a deep breath and turned stern.
"Show yourself! Who's talking?" I asked. I looked and suddenly a ghostly rabbit appeared in front of me. It had what looked like a claw mark on it's chest.
"I am." The ghost replied. I stared at the ghost in absolute horror. The ghos in turn, looked back right at me. We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. I finally broke the silence.
"I can see right through you, what's happening?" I asked. The ghost didn't reply.
"A-are you…?" I began to ask.
"What is your name?" The ghost asked.
"L-Lola."
"L-Lola? That's unusual" I then realised that I wasn't talking straight.
"I meant… Lola. Lola J Bunny."
"Lola." I shut my eyes in terror.
"Help me someone!"
"Lola, open your eyes." It's voice was rather calm.
"Why?"
"Just open your eyes and look at me."
"Why?"
"Can you see me?" I opened my eyes and looked at it.
"Yes, I can see you."
"Really?"
"As clear as day, you're right in front of me."
"You can see me. How wonderful!"
"What?" The ghost then started laughing.
"Why is the ghost laughing? I'm scared." I thought to myself. Somehow the ghost was able to hear my thoughts, like how Shirley can Mind read.
"I'm laughing because I'm happy." The ghost replied.
"What?"
"I've been waiting for all these years for someone like you."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You met a ghost in the graveyard?" Jessica asked.
"Yep, at first I was terrified." Lola replied.
""Why were you so scared?"
"I thought it was gong to hurt me. I was scared of it for quite a while.". She then felt the ice pack on Jessica's head.
"How are you feeling?" Lola asked.
"Better. I think you telling me this story is doing me a lot of good." Jessica replied.
"That's good to know."
"Anyway, did you and the ghost talk a bit more?"
"We did actually." Lola continued her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean by someone like me?" I asked.
"I've been waiting for someone who can see me." The ghost replied.
"I don't get it."
"You can see me right?"
"Of course, you're right in front of me. Why is it that big a surprise"
"Because I'm no longer alive."
"So, you are a ghost."
"Yes, my name is A."
"A?" I then started thinking.
"This is bad. There is no sign of Dad or Rachiel and onw I've awoken this ghost. I must have moved his gravestone. What else could happen today…" I thought to myself.
"That isn't true." A suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"That wasn't my grave you moved. I wasn't buried there."
"Did you hear me thinking?"
"Yes, I have been here for a long time and no one has seen me."
"You've been alone?"
"Yes."
"Maybe it's because no one lives here anymore."
"No, you don't understand."
"Understand what?"
"There have been visitors to the island butt only you have seen me."
"I…see."
"Do you understand what this all means?"
"No, I don't"
"Let me explain. Those with clouded minds will only see what is in front of them. Because your heart and mind are pure, and you still believe in people, you can see me."
"I think I understand now."
"You must be the one who will help me reclaim my menories."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Lola, I cannot remember anything."
"How can that be? Surely you must remember something.
"No, I can't remember anything about my life. I don't know who I was or why I died. I don't remember and that is why I wander aroound here and can't move on."
"How long have you been here?"
"About 57 years, I think."
What!"
"Why are you surprised?"
"I shouldn't really, but I can't believe it. In 57 years time, I'd be an elderly rabbit and you've been wandering for that long."
"Yes, 57 years."
"That is terrible!"
"Yes. That is why I need to get my memories back."
"I understand. I feel the same"
"How?"
"There is something I want to remember, but I can't."
"Lola."
"You can't remember anything?"
"Well, I only remember one thing."
"What do you remember?"
"I remember someone calling me A and this mark on myy chest."
"That mark that looks like a claw?"
"It was the last thing I saw when I was alive. It was something that burned into my memory the moment I died."
"Continue."
"If I could remember what that was I may be able to remember why I died. I need to know that to move on." As A spoke, I remembered what the captain had told me. He said that I was too young to be thinking about death but A had been thinking of little else all this time.
"Lola, please help me reclaim my memories. Please help me uncover what happened on this island. Will you help me?" A asked. I wanted to help him but I also had to find my dad and Rachiel. The captain had said that he'd leave before sunset.
"Lola?" A asked.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You're going to see your dad?"
"Yes."
"Who is Rachiel?"
"A, I came here to find my dad. I had been told tha he was dead."
"Your dad is dead?"
"I thought he was. I got angry with Aunt Rachiel and now we've been seperated."
"I'm not following your story."
"A, I'm sorry but so much has happened and I really want to see my dad."
"Your father?"
"Yes. It has been 11 years since I last saw him so I need to find him. So, I'm sorry but I can't help you get your memories back."
"Father?" I saw A's expression turn into shock.
"What's wrong A?". A didn't answer He just showed a shocked expression and then just disappeared.
"He's gone. Where did he go?" I asked myself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, where did A go?" Jessica asked.
"He just disappeared in front of me. At the time I thought that I'd upset him." Lola replied.
"How would you upset him?"
"By telling him that I didn't have time to help him."
"I see."
"Now where was I?" Lola then continued her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After A had disappeared, I followed the path behind where the stone had been. It lead back around the graveyard and to the other side of where the rockkslids had taken place. To the right of me was the archway that I had seen before. I went through the archway and found myself outside what looked like a mine entrance. I could see an old mine cart on the tracks, a water tower and two tool boxes. There was also an old barn near the water tower. There were weeds everywhere I looked.
"Rachiel? Dad?" I called out. There was no reply from the area. I had another look around.
"What is this place?" I had a closer look at everything around. One of the toolboxes was very rusty and was stacked with broken and rusty tools. This toolbox was on an old movement cart. The second toolbox was near the old mine cart. The cart was filled with stones that I could not identify. The wheels were too rusty to move. The second toolbox was just underneath the cart. I had a look inside and saw what looked like a gear.
"Hmm, I think this gear is for that gate". I picked up the gear and had another look around. Next to the cart was a rusty machine. It was a machine I had seen on telly before. It was a rock grinder, used to grind rocks into smaller fragments. I had a look at the plate on the machine and saw some writing under the rust. I tried rubbing the rust but it wouldn't come off.
"Now what?" I then had an idea. I went back to the tookbox on the trolley and grabbed a metal brush. I then used it to scrape the rust off. It took a lot of work, but I finally got all the rust off. Underneath was a logo and a message.
"All gold found in this mine belongs to the Rabbit family. Anyone caught stealing will be severely punished." The message said. I then realised that the area was a gold mine.
There was nothing left in the mine so I headed back to the locked gate. As I was walking through the graveyard again, I saw a couple of graves that I had not noticed before. They were crumbling and overgrown with weeds so I disn't have a closer look. When I got back to the gate, I placed the gear in the mechanism. After placing the gear in, I started pushing the buttons. Every time I pressed a button, a logo piece would appear. I kept pushing random buttons without getting anywhere. Then I had an idea.
"What if I copy the logo I've seen around here?" I had another looka t the sign to the right and copied the logo. The gate unlocked and opened. Without hesitating, I ran through the gate but eventually came across another gate.. This one was locked. I had a look at the gate and saw two hand like figurines either side of the gate. The one on the left was holding a sphere, but the other wasn't. To the left was an old shack. The door of which was open, but something shiny caught my eye. I looked down and saw a pair of glasses.
"Rachiel's glasses. Maybe she's in here." I picked up the glasses and ran inside the shack, but the shack was empty. I decided to have a look around. There were several boxes, a few books, files and a lab coat on the floor. On one of the desks thhere was also an open briefcase. I looked inside and found a document. It looked like a cover sheet. On the sheet was written…
"Research report: Another."
"Authors: Robert Bunny, Hikaru Bunny"
"Hey, those are the names of my parents. This has to be the cover sheet of their report." I picked up the cover sheet and had another look around. I saw a small card next to some books. The letters DAS were n the cart.
"Hey, this is a card for my DAS!" I picked up the card and pu tit in my DAS. When I did, a message played.
"Dearest Lola, I apologise for not meeting you but I have finally completed Another. Finally, the efforts made by me and Hikaru have been sucessful. Past the gate is a mansion. I shall wait for you there." When I finished reading the message, I realised something.
"This message is from dad. He's waiting." I said to myself. I had one final look around. There was nothing to suggest where Rachiel was. I was about to leave when I saw a box of spheres. This gave me an Idea. I grabbed the largest sphere I could carry and ran back outside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow, so much happened within such a short time." Jessica remarked.
"I know. And there was a lot more coming." Lola replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, when I entered the mansion, there were some major puzzles to solve."
"Were they hard?"
"Some were but others weren't."
"Did anything else happen before you entered the mansion?"
"Yes, there was one more thing…" Lola replied before continuing her story.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I left the shack, I saw A waiting outside the gate.
"A?" I asked. A turned around and looked at me.
"Lola." A replied.
"I didn't know you were here. I was looking for you because you disappeared."
"I know."
"Were you upset with me because of what I told you?"
"No, I disappeared because after I heard your story, I remembered something."
"What did you remember?"
"My father."
"Your dad?"
"Yes. You said that you wanted to see your father that you thought was dead. When I heard that, I remembered that my father is…dead."
"He's dead!"
"Yes. He died in the mansion on the other side of this gate, he mansion where Diana lived."
"Who's Diana?"
"I think she was my friend."
"You think?"
"I remembered her when I remembered about my dad. She was the one who called me A"
"Wow, I'm happy fo ryou. Finally, your memories are returning to you."
"Yes, and it is because I met you."
"Huh?"
"While I was alone, I could remember nothing. Now that I have met you, things are coming back."
"What happened to your father in the mansion?"
"I don't remember. I'm sure that when I get there, I will remember" I began thinking.
"That mansion is where A's dad died and my father is waiting for me. I'm a little confused." I thought to myself.
"Lola?" A asked.
"What is it?" I asked
"Have you found your dad yet?"
"No, but I know where he is. He's in the mansion." When the conversation finished, I took out the iron sphere I had picked up and began throwing it at the hand on the wall. I was trying to throw it in the hand. It wasn't that difficult and the door opened when I had suceeded.
"Wow, impressive." A remarked.
"Come on A" I said.
"Huh?"
"We can go together."
"Really, I can come with you?"
"Yes. We're both looking for something so we could become good friends."
"Friends?"
"I know it's going to be weird but I'm sure we'll be able to be friends. We'll both find what we're looking for in that mansion."
"Ok, let's go."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jessica, do you remember what the captain said about remembering things?" Lola asked.
"Yes, he said that if you want to remember something, repeat it in your head." Jessica replied.
"Do you want to remember this story?"
"Yeah, I'll probably tell it to any kids I have."
"Ok, let's have a try."
"A few days prior to the event, I had received a letter from my father. I had believed that he had died when I was three. I tracked him to an island using the letter." Lola began.
"Blood Rabbit Island, right?" Jessica asked.
"Yep, now who went looking for my father first?"
"It was Rachiel. She left you waiting in the woods and you went to find her when she didn't come back."
"Correct."
"Now, in the past, a rich family lived on the island. They died mysteriously leaving the island empty." Lola continued
"That was the Rabbit family wasn't it?" Jessica asked.
"Yes, the Rabbits."
"While I was looking for Rachiel and father, I found my way into the graveyard and found the family Graves of the Rabbits. What names were on the graves?" Lola asked.
"It was…George and…Richard."
"Wow, correct." Jessica smiled in self satisfaction.
"Now, after I had moved a stone slab aside, I met a ghost called A. He didn't have any memories of his life but he remembered something after talking to me." Lola continued.
"That was about his father. He died in the mansion where your father was." Jessica said.
"Yes, you've got a good memory."
"Now, outside the proter's lodge, I found Rachiel's glasses. I went to look for her but found no-one. I found a DAS card from my dad and a briefcase. What was in the briefcase?" Lola asked.
"That was an cover for a research report on another. Your parents' names were on it." Jessica replied.
"Yes. Correct again. But I wasn't sure what Another was at the time."
"There are several unknown things at the moment."
"Well, I know them, and you will as well eventually."
"Ok, I think I can remember that lot now."
"Good, how are you feeling by the way?"
"Much better, but I still feel hot."
"Perhaps an iced drink will help."
"Thanks mum." Lola went into the kitchen and came back with a glass of carrot juice with ice.
(A/N: WOWSERS. I did say that it would be long. Expect the rest of the chapters to be about this length. Please read and review and don't be put off.)
