Previously on EMD:

As soon as we reached the docks, I raced towards the podship, opened the door and threw Selene onto the seat. I sat in my chair as Levi checked that everything that we needed was in place. Levi nodded to me as soon as she was done. I immediately started the podship and steered out of Artemisia's docks and into the endless void that was called space.

I smiled as Levi reached over the seats and pecked me on the cheek. My smile grew more as we reached Earth's atmosphere, starting phase three.

Chapter Eight [Kai's POV]

I heard the gunshot after I finished my crying session. I raced down the hall towards Cinder's room. It looked like I didn't get there fast enough because I heard loud sobs. The door was wide open so I ran in. I paused when I saw Cress on top of Wolf… sleeping?

On the floor crumpled in tears was Winter. The sobs coming from her body were so full of heartbreak and sadness that I almost didn't notice that Cinder was… gone.

"Winter?" I said, shaking her shoulders. "What happened?"

"He-" Hiccup. "Took-" Hiccup. "Her-" Winter said, hiccuping after every word. I was now confused.

"Winter, who took her?" I growled my eyesight turned red with anger. My body shook with the sadness of losing Cinder again and with determination of finding her again.

"J-Jacin…" Winter stuttered before breaking into sobs again. I carried her to the bed that Cinder had occupied earlier. My rage was building up now, vision clouded with anger.

Once I had gotten a nurse to tend with Wolf, Cress and Winter, I ran down the hall towards the Crew's room's. I hurriedly knocked on the door to Scarlet's room because it was the closest.

Scarlet quickly opened the door, probably expecting Wolf. "K-Kai?" She asked, confusion written across her face. "What happened? Why were you banging on my door?"

I told her everything, once I had finished Scarlet's face was filled with rage and almost the same shade as her hair. "Once I find that backstabbing traitor guard I'm going to rip his littl-" I cut her off from her rage to ask her to get Thorne.

"Of course." She said. I watched her storm down the hallway and almost banged Thorne's door down. I made my way down the hall trying to ignore the looks that the workers gave me, but I stopped when I heard sobbing down the hall.

Oh Cinder… what will happen when you're gone and...what will happen when you don't come back?...

[Cinder's POV]

I woke up in a podship?... Now how in the world did I go from dreaming about Prince Kai being in love with me, to being in a podship?

I felt the podship slowly descend, rumbling slightly. A girl with blue eyes looked at me with caring eyes.

"W-where am I?" I asked her. She looked over her shoulder for a second and started speaking.

"Well Cinder, I am your sister Levian and this is my boyfriend Jacin." Levi said fingering a pitch black moon pendant that she wore around her neck.

"Wait does that mean that I was really on L-luna?" I asked her, horror lacing my words. Levi nodded grimly. "Wait doesn't that mean that I'm still supposed to be on Luna?"

"Yes little sister. Those people were planning on torturing you only because you are a cyborg. But Jacin and I found out what they were planning so we saved you and now we are going to a safe place." Levi said, blue eyes filled with hatred for those evil people and love for having saved me in time.

"But how are we sisters?" I asked Levi, she rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah… you forgot everything from the last year. Well Cindie-" She started before I cut her off.

"Don't call me that Levi." I threatened, but I somehow managed to end up laughing.

"Well you called me Levi… so I can call you Cindie." Levi said, sticking out her tongue at me.

"Anyways, a couple months after an incident happened, you found me because I got adopted by Adri, so that's why we don't look anything alike." Levi explained calmly.

"Oh… t-that actually makes some sense Levi." I said, smirking.

"So now you know how AWESOME your big sis is!" She exclaimed. I glanced over her seat at Jacin and saw him rolling his eyes.

"Hey guys-" Jacin started, but was cut off by me.

"Girls Jacin, girls." I growled/whined to him.

"Sorry." Jacin apologized when he saw Levi glaring at him. "Anyways were arriving at our location soon."

"Where are we going?" I asked him curiously.

"The one place where those monsters have the worst memories…" Jacin said, sounding mysterious. "Africa."

"Now let's start phase three!" Levi shouted, playfully pushing me. I shoved her back with my normal hand.

"What's phase three?" I asked, confused again.

"The phase where we make those monsters wish they would've left us alone..." Jacin stated, smirking.

"I'm kinda liking this phase three..." I murmured, smiling to myself as the podship lightly landed on the pale sands of Africa.

[Winter's POV]

I continued to sob into my hands as nurses rushed in to check on Wolf, Cress, and me. A nurse approached me when she heard me sobbing.

"Y-your Majesty?" She asked me, confusion coating her voice like syrup. "D-do you need a-anything r-right now?" I shook my head as I stood up, tears rushing down my face as I continued to sob.

I ran out of the room, towards the Crew's hallway. I rushed towards the room that had held happy memories earlier, but now had sad and depressing vibes coming from the doors.

I threw the doors to Jacin's room open as I ran to the bed and layed down. I grabbed the covers and hid under them, sobbing silently.

Suddenly I felt something jab me in the foot. I reached down to move it but as soon as I grabbed it I pulled over to my face and noticed it was a piece of paper folded in half. It said, To the Rampion Crew, on the cover.

I opened it slowly not wanting to know if it held something bad in it. As soon as I opened the note I sobbed as I saw Jacin's handwriting.

It said,

Dear Rampion Crew,

By now you have most likely noticed that Selene is gone, right? Well… I guess it's confession time! I was the one who made Cinder lose her memories. I got to her before everyone else, so I used that moment to take the knife that was in her chest to stab her two more times. Of course she was already too close to death to know that it was me. Well by the time that you got to us, I was already trying to 'save her' because I knew that if you guys thought I was a traitor, you wouldn't trust us.

Of course by the time that you guys find this letter, me and Selene will already be gone! Long gone! I mean if you want to be stupid enough to try to save her… let me give you some clues!

Clue #1… We are currently at the place where this all started.

With love (or hate), you're now traitor guard, Jacin. [P.S. Levi says hi!]

My heart broke into more pieces than it already was. I started sobbing into my hands, my once perfectly-styled hair now a mess around my face.

I heard a light knock by the door, and heard the Emperor's voice ask, "What's wrong?"

"Everything is wrong!" I shouted at him, hating the way my raised voice made him flinch. "Jacin is gone and he took Selene! He was lying to me for I don't know how long! He was lying to all of us!"

"Winter…" He walked over to me and engulfed me in a hug. His chin rested on the top of my head. I sobbed into his chest as he stroked my hair. "Shhh… it's okay Winter." But deep down I knew it wasn't.

"N-no it's n-not Kai!" I say, my voice quavering. "Selene is gone, a-and J-jacin is with s-some g-g-girl!" I started sobbing even more as I handed Kai the note.

After a while Kai set the paper down. "Where did it start?" He asked, confused. "I could have started here on Luna, or at the Eastern Commonwealth. Or in Africa." He states.

"We have to get to the meeting room right now Winter," Kai says, letting me go and standing up. "We have to tell the leaders about Cinder's capture… and memory loss…"

"O-okay." I stutter, shakily standing up.

[Meeting Room]

"Well obviously they aren't in the Eastern Commonwealth, because only Cinder knows her way around…" Scarlet states, pointing at the large map on the table that she, Wolf, Cress, Thorne, Kinney, Kai, and I were standing around. Cress was sitting in a chair, scrolling angrily through her portscreen ignoring all the arguing.

"And they aren't on Luna or else we would know." Wolf points out. Scarlet nods, looking over the map again.

"Well there's only one other place that both Jacin and Cinder know well," Thorne says, rolling his eyes. "The one place that it all started…"

"And where is that place 'O great one?" Kinney asks Thorne. But before Thorne could say anything, Cress gasped out loud. Everyone stopped arguing to look at her.

She swallowed loudly, "W-well… the one place that Jacin and Cinder know well and the place that it all started at is… well A-africa…"

"Well everyone start packing for a trip to Africa!" Thorne said with fake enthusiasm. Kai groaned as he sat dropped in a chair.

He let his hands catch his head as he slumped forward muttering, "Cinder's gone… Cinder's gone…" again and again.

I felt his pain, and I knew that everyone else felt it too.

Suddenly Iko burst through the door, arms full of overflowing papers, and she looked scared. She walked up to Kai who was still sitting in the chair muttering to himself. Iko bent down and whispered something in his ear.

Kai quickly shot up from his chair and rushed out the door, Iko right on his heels, and left everyone in the room shocked and confused.

Oh Jacin what have you done to our family now?...

I am extremely sorry for not updating in a while! Plzzz forgive meeee! =(

Someone comment about who you want Cinder to fall in love with. My own character named Noah or… do you want her to not get with anyone? Now for this reviewing problem... My children need some feedback!

With love, LivingTillTheEnd.
