Amnesia
Chapter 5: Return of the Past
Ariel then collapsed to the ground. She was once again a small winged tabby cat. Once Winston was sure that the coast was clear, he ran over and picked up the exhausted cat.
"Hold on, I must restore Egon's soul. It's not his time." She said weakly, a bolt of colored lightning coming out of her claw, and Egon's eyes opened.
"Whoa, where am I?" he asked, holding his head, "Peter, Ray, Winston? What am I doing in my street clothes?"
They all hugged him, and Ariel just smiled.
"Hello Egon." She said, jumping out of Winston's arms and into Egon's lap.
"Who are you?" he asked curiously.
"Egon, I can't believe you don't remember me! It's me…"
"Ariel!" he exclaimed, hugging the cat, "I thought you were killed, but that car!"
"I was, Egon, but I'm your guardian angel." She purred.
"You know her?" Peter asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, Ariel was my kitten when I was young. Sixteen years old, I think. She was hit by a car, and died at the Vet's office, but that was over twenty years ago." He explained.
"Wow, that's sad." Winston said, "In a moving kinda way."
"Hold on, "Egon said, seeing the proton packs, "Were we on a bust?"
"Hey, you got you memory back!" Ray exclaimed.
"I don't think I ever lost it, but my mind is a bit blank." Egon said.
"Well, at least you're not a mindless zombie anymore." Ray said.
"It's good to have you back." Winston said, "We thought we'd lost you."
Egon smiled,
"Well, I'm glad." Egon said, stroking Ariel's fur.
Her tail swished contently, in the air, as she continued to purr loudly.
"Egon, I missed you. I didn't mean to run into the road, but I saw a squirrel run into the yard and that car came out of nowhere!" Ariel apologized.
"It's alright." Egon said, "But how long can you stay?"
"Not long. I'm sorry." She said, " I wish I could stay longer, I really missed being in your arms, but the Big guy needs me, but now that Kalakei is gone, I can savor the comfort."
They sat silently for a while, resting, and enjoying each other's company.
Ariel then stood up.
"I have to go, I'm being summoned." She said, spreading her feathered wings, "I'll continue to watch over you. I promise."
She then leaped, and disappeared into a few colorful sparkles.
Egon stared into the emptiness of the warehouse.
Winston, Ray and Peter looked at him, with much sympathy.
"Are you okay? I know it's hard, but you've got us, right?" Winston asked.
Egon stood up, and smirked.
"Of course, but right now, I can tell that things are gonna be much better from now on." Egon said.
"Good, 'cause we just got a call from Janine. A class five poltergeist has been ravaging candy at a local newspaper stand!" Ray said, running outside.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go bust 'im!" Peter said.
Winston followed, but Egon stood for a while, staring into the warehouse.
"Egon, are you coming?" Winston asked.
"Yeah, of course." Egon said, walking out of the building.
