~Emblem City~

Day

After leaving one of the apartments I own as a hideout I stumble towards my car and drive back to the house Eden and I live in. That was June I saved, the one that I can't remember but always seem to think about. She's really here and I actually remember.

"Daniel? What happened, did you pick up the supplies I need?" Eden asks getting up from the counter he was sitting at researching things on his laptop.

I try to look at him but I can't seem to really see him. My visions been going in and out of fuzziness since leaving the apartment. I take a step towards Eden but end up falling,

"Daniel! What happened? Daniel?!...Dan..iel…" His voice has slowed down and I turn my head towards his voice but all I see is his silhouette through the blacks spots appearing in front of me. What? Why do I feel tired all of a sudden? Eden sounds worried I should get up. I try pushing myself up from the ground but hands press me down and stop any movement I try to make. Oh well I was tired anyways, I think I'll just take a nap here. I've slept on harder places.

Faintly I hear Eden on the phone talking to someone and yelling for them to hurry, then I hear sirens and footsteps.

Then, I'm asleep.

I dream of wonderful things. I see images of me before we moved to Antarctica. I see my life from the last two years but as if I'm a spectator looking down at the scenes in front of me. All the missing puzzle pieces seem to snap back in place slowly one after another, creating a picture. When the last puzzle piece goes into place I see what the puzzle looks like, the picture that all my memories have created. It's…

Mesmerizing, all of those individual pieces of my memories have made one picture, and that picture is…suddenly the scene changes and look around trying to figure out where I am.

The ground has turned into grass, the sun is no longer hiding behind clouds but has come out and is shining brightly, the rays dancing on my skin. I see a figure walking towards me, a man, wearing a white shirt and khaki pants, his hair the color of wheat. When I reach him, I see that's its John. He looks at me and gives me a grin like he use to before everything happened and I knew that meant he had something important to tell me but he was going to savor trying to make me guess what it was.

"Hey little brother, you have a death wish don't ya?" He says chuckling and pats me on the back like he use to. I open my mouth, then close it again. My eyes are watering and I manage to crack a small smile.

"Nine lives John remember? You always said I was like a cat, once dead I'd just come back again."

"Yeah, and annoy the goddy crap out of me." He says rolling his eyes but shooting me a teasing smirk.

"I'm sorry John, I'm so sorry-"

"No need for the apologizing Daniel, you did everything you could. If anything I should be the one apologizing, I was the oldest I should have been the one going out and trying to get the medicine for Eden. I failed to protect you guys and you have paid a lot for that." He says looking at me with remorse in his eyes and a sad bitter smile on his face.

"No John, you kept us all together, you tried to instill order when the world turned into chaos. I use to think about what decisions you would have made whenever I went on missions and I still about that when I take care of Eden."

Smiling John slings his arm around my neck and ruffles my hair.

"Well thank goodness for that, otherwise you'd be down to your last life by now. Now I have some information you need and mom said I should be the one to give it."

Raising my eyebrow I look at him and motion him to tell me.

Smirking he crosses his arms, "Well aren't you gonna ask for it politely?"

"Unbelievable even now your hassling me. Fine, John can you please tell me the information you have that's oh so important to me?"

With a satisfied smile he nods his head and motions us to sit down, his face goes serious.

"You've already been through a lot, little brother and I'm sorry but what your about to go through will seem like its ten times harder than what you've had to endure. But you have to be there for Eden and you have to lead because you have a strength and goodness in your heart that rivals anyone's on the earth. I know what I'm saying right doesn't makes sense but in time you'll understand. When you feel your in too deep or that you don't have any hope, dig deep and find that well of pure strength and endurance. You have everything you need inside of you Daniel you just gotta believe in yourself."

With that John stands up and offers me his hand.

Confused and not wanting him to leave me just yet I keep hold of his hand plead with him silently to stay. But he just gives me a small smile and shakes his head letting go of my hand.

"Your important Daniel, to everyone always remember that. Watch out for Eden he's scared and needs his big brother right now. Go to him, he motions behind me and turning I see Eden sitting beside me in a hospital chair, tear streaks on his face and holding my hand like I was holding Johns. Like he wasn't ready to let me go just yet.

I turn to look back at John but he's fading away.

"John! I need my older brother right now too!" But he just gives me another smile and points back towards Eden. Then a blinding white light causes me to close my eyes and when I open them next I'm in the hospital, with Eden holding my hand and tears running down my face.

Eden is by my side in an instant hugging me and mumbling things in my ear shaking. He's a scared 11 year old boy again beside me in the hospital.

I turn my head and give him a smile, remembering Johns words.

"Eden, I'm not going anywhere. It's okay, I'm sorry. Eden?"

He pulls away and looks at me.

"John says hi, and he loves you and misses you. To not worry that everything will be okay. You know why?"

Stunned Eden just shakes his head slowly.

"Because I'm here, and I'll always protect you."

"You…saw John?" he says, blinking at me with his owl eyes behind his glasses.

Nodding my head, he smiles down at me and nods his head too seeming to come to terms with something.

That's how we are twenty minutes later when Tess comes in with a shocked and panicked June.

"Day, how many times do I have to go to you in the hospital?" June says, with tears in her eyes and rushes over to me.

Staring at her I seem to lose my voice.

Eden pulls away from me and motions to Tess out the door leaving June and I alone after 10 years.

Then looking up at June I give her a cocky smirk.

"June Iparis, I've been thinking about you for the past ten years."

Earlier at the apartment

~Ross City~

June

After slamming the door closed behind him I take the pain medicine Night mentioned and slowly get up from the bed.

My ribs feel like they're on fire but I manage to stand up and take stock of my surroundings. He keeps this place bare, few personal belongings, no pictures, plain clothes that don't give away what his personality is like. This must be a hideout. Somewhere to bunker down when things get heavy.

I look out the window and see we're in the downtown district. I don't know what city we're in though, could still be Ross City or some other city nearby. So after drinking more water I pull up my GPS locator and see I'm indeed in Ross City still but that's all the information I have, this place doesn't seem to be on the map. Hmm interesting.

Pocketing my device I go downstairs and see what's around here, seeing a café across the way I go inside and order a coffee. Then pull out my phone and call a shuttle to pick me up.

Staring at the other patrons I let my mind wander back to Night. He had brown curly hair, and mesmerizing green eyes that seemed to change to blue. He didn't seem like the ruthless criminal the Antarctican officials painted him to be, after all he saved me from getting beat to a pulp, a total stranger. Not to mention took me in to his apartment and treated my wounds. Who are you really Night? What are you trying to do?

"Miss Iparis?" I hear a voice say nearby. Looking up from my coffee I see someone looking around wearing a shuttle tag on his shirt. Standing up I go over to him.

"Im June Iparis, you must be the shuttle service."

"Yes, right this way ."

Getting in I give him the address to the barracks my squadrons stationed at.

Once there I thank the man and head inside. A text comes in once I step inside the building but before I can see who it is that texted me I hear someone call my name.

Looking around I see one of the other Commanders heading towards me.

It's too soon for this. I think but plaster on a pleasant look once they get near. It must not have been that pleasant because he looks nervous.

"Instructions came in last night about the plans and information we need to get this investigation started right away. Someone was sent to tell you but you weren't in your rooms. Did you get held up somewhere?" He says seeing my scratches and probably bruises on my face.

"Nothing important, just send the plans to my rooms and I'll get everything organized once I've had time to look it over." I say. Nodding he turns and leaves.

Once he does I drop my shoulders exhausted, then look at who texted me. It's from Tess, so opening up her message I read it and then read it again my eyes scrambling over the short brief message.

Days in the hospital, Eden with him. Pick you up in five.

I run to the doors and see Tess drive up looking around fast. I go outside and run to the car. Everything going too slow for me.

Once inside she catches me up on what she knows. He fell unconscious all of a sudden, and went into shock. No one knows what could have caused it and Eden says it was sudden. They're treating him right now but they won't know how serious it is until he wakes up.

Head reeling from all this information I stare out the window.

I'm on my way to see Day. But what a way to see him. I'm really starting to hate hospitals.

We arrive at the hospital and Tess gets directions to Days room after proving her relations to him. Once were at his room I slow down, my heart racing.

How will he look? Will he recognize me? Do I want him to remember me? Yes. No.

My thoughts are all jumbled but I have one clear thought. I need to see him. It's like a ache. So pulling up all the strength I have I look at Tess and give her a nod. She opens the door and we step in.

I see Eden looking down at Day with a smile on his face and dried tear streaks on his cheeks. He's grown. I think remembering him as a young 11 year old. Then I see Day, he's breath taking. His hair is cut short and unruly from laying down for so long. They notice us and Days blue eyes seem brighter than I remember. I feel tears in my eyes and I don't care if he remembers me or not I hear myself say

"Day how many times do I have to go to you in the hospital?" and suddenly I'm at his side. I vaguely hear Eden tell Tess he wants to talk to her about something and the door close.

Then suddenly its just us.

Day looks up at me and gives me his cocky smirk and I feel a piece of my heart mend together knowing it's directed at me. Then he opens his mouth and says words so sweet and shocking I cry tears of joy.

"June Iparis, I've been thinking about you for the past ten years."

I felt Day should have a moment of forgiveness and closure from his brother John. I don't know if I portrayed John well enough though, so sorry if I screwed it up. :p Next update will be on Monday! I want to thank everyone who followed, faved, and reviewed this story. It means so much to me I can't describe it and I don't think I ever could describe it. And I'm not even going to try haha well thank you guys again!

Until next time!
