Chapter Nine:
"I was going there now." Tyr said curtly. They entered and Aikera was yelling for her mother.
"I want momma!" She screamed trying to get lose. Trance and Harper were holding her down as best as they could.
"She's not here." Trance said.
"Momma!!" Aikera shouted even louder. She noticed Tyr. "Keep him away from me!"
"Tyr." Charlemagne said calling Tyr to the side of the room. Trance approached them also as Beka helped Harper.
"She seems to think her mom is lost in a storm and she has to find her." Trance said answering Tyr's question. Tyr looked at her then at Aikera. She calmed down a little.
"You all get some rest before the charter signing and I'll stay with Harper and the Princess." Tyr said. Everyone left except Harper and Beka. Harper got Aikera calm enough to talk to Beka.
"Go to bed Beka you need rest." Harper said.
"So do you." Beka said pointedly.
"Beka I'm fine. Please I'll be fine with Tyr." Harper said.
"I won't hurt him Beka you have my word." Tyr said. Beka looked between them and left.
"Does she know who you are?" Tyr asked Harper.
"No, she just calls me her angel because I was the first one she saw when she woke up." Harper said as a doctor walked in.
"I'm Ranees. I was her doctor while she lived here." She said answering Harper's question before it left his mouth. "But you may call me Anne."
"Ohkay Anne," Harper started, "How do you plan on helping her?" Aikera began stirring in her sleep then calmed down again.
"As you know she has lost her memory when she blacked out. The only way to help her is to enter her head and help her out." Anne said as Navia walked in.
"And that's where I come in." She said walking to Aikera's head.
"Tyr will you please wait outside." Anne said.
"No." He said firmly.
"Tyr, please, I'll let you know as soon as she wakes up." Harper said. Tyr sneered and left. Harper and Anne were on either side of Aikera as Navia touched Aikera's temples and entered her head. The first thing Navia noticed was that there was a cliff above the ocean.
"Aikera?" She shouted.
"What?" Aikera said quietly. It was weird, one second Navia was at the bottom of the cliff, and then she was at the edge next to Aikera.
"What are you doing?"
"Listening to Casey." Aikera said.
"Oh. What's he saying? Anything new?" Navia said as if it was normal to be on a cliff listening to Casey.
"I have to go home. Be with Harper. Even mend what I had with Tyr. But I'm afraid." Aikera said looking out across the vast water.
"Come on. It'll be alright." Navia said. Anne had to catch Navia as she came conscious again. Anne and Navia both walked out and Tyr turned to look at them.
"She's fine, but she hasn't woken up yet." Anne said walking away with Navia.
Tyr entered the room and watched Harper quietly beg Aikera to come back. He then left and went to bed. By the time Tyr got to his room, it was eight in the morning. There was no use sleeping now.
Charlemagne entered the room and saw Aikera awake and talking with Harper. He smiled then coughed slightly making his presence known.
Aikera smiled at him saying, "I'm hungry." That made both Harper and Charlemagne laugh.
"Come on lets get you some food." Charlemagne said. They all headed to the kitchen.
Once there Harper ate like there was no tomorrow and Aikera found the ice cream, and Charlemagne drank coffee, since he ate earlier. Elsbett walked in looking for her husband.
"Captain Hunt wants you dear." She said. Aikera giggled to herself at Charlemagne.
"Good you can stay here and make sure they don't eat us out of food." Charlemagne said getting up and leaving. Once Elsbett sat with a cup of coffee Aikera looked at her.
"Elsbett, what do you think of the name Angel?" she asked the queen.
"Its cute, why?"
"It's my mothers name. Your daughter reminds me of mother in her face." Aikera said looking into her ice-cream container then frowning.
"You remember your mother?" Harper asked.
"Yes, I was only five when she died. I was sent to live with my father when I was six." Aikera said getting up and getting another ice-cream container.
