Been away and just got back from a short camping trip with my bae. But I'm back again with a new chapter!
Raven and Henry are both conflicted by this idea that they have known each other before they lost their memories. Henry believes that they were old associates when they worked for Akan, but based on the memories that are resurfacing, Raven is starting to suspect that there is another side of their marriage that Estelle hasn't told Henry.
Enjoy, and tell me if I should add on two or more chapters!
My body felt sore as all hell, but knowing that Henry was safe made me feel a little bit better. What the hell is happening? That damn memory is stuck in my head, and because of my supposed husband, I can't remember who is who anymore. But that's not important right now. We need to get to Akan before he tries to do anything else.
Henry hadn't moved yet, but his wounds were severe; he had sustained a gash to the side of his face when Akan hit him with the baseball bat back in the caravan. Using the rag I had, I cleaned his face, and helped him sit up when he held his hands out to me.
I helped him get up, and I saw that his head was still bleeding. I grabbed the same rag, and placed it on is head. He flinched when I did that, but I applied more pressure to it. He grabbed my wrist and moved it from his head. I showed him the rag, and he just shrugged.
I put my hand on my hip, and glared at him.
He looked at me like I was crazy, then I punched him in the shoulder, which made him flinch again. I pointed to the rag, then his head. He moved his hand to his head, but I grabbed his hand before he did, and gave him the rag to do so.
I turned away from him, and went to the stream to wash my face with the cold water, not caring if the makeup I put on was smeared every where. After everything that had happened, I'm pretty sure my appearance is the least of my problems. Looking at my reflection in the water, I see that my lipstick was nearly gone, but my eye makeup stayed in place.
Strange that my makeup is the only that has really gone right so far.
Washing my cheeks and the cuts with the water, I see that the ring is still on my finger. It's stupid that this damn thing is still with me. After everything that Akan did, I should just chuck this damn thing in the water.
I take it off, but I don't throw it in the river just yet. I just tear off a piece of my shirt, and make a makeshift chain for it. I slip the ring on it, and I tie it around my neck.
He can have this damn thing when I see him. Fucking bastard is doing everything he can to get me back.
But he won't get me. If I was dead before all this, I'm pretty damn sure he had a role in it. Wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who killed me in the first place.
But what about Estelle? She captured by Akan, but based on what she was wearing in the caravan, she looks like shes well taken care of.. for a prisoner. She was wearing what looked like a rather expensive dress.
What if she is in on this? Before Henry and I got there, she was in a room with a thick glass, and closer to the front of the caravan. So far as what I have seen, Akan is not this... 'hospitable' when it gets to people that block his way. Especially after what he did to scientist Jimmy back in the sky-base.
Why would Estelle be any different? I mean she is a woman. But that didn't stop from ordering his men to wipe out the women in the brothel.
Ughhh! What the hell am I missing?! Is their marriage a sham too? And those damn memories!
Were we...?
Looking behind me, I hear Jimmy's voice. He finally realized that we woke up. He talks to Henry, but I don't listen to them. I look at the stream lost in my thoughts.
The memories I experienced at the caravan are driving me crazy. What the hell is going through my head, and whose voice was that?
"You psychotic little bitch."
That's what that voice said. Why the hell would I hear that in that moment? It wasn't exactly what I needed to hear in that moment.
I turn around and I see helping Katya up, and Jimmy is walking off in the forest. I start walking towards him, until out of fucking nowhere, he EXPLODES!
FUCK! They found us!
Jumping back with my arms up, I tried to avoid debris, and managed to come out unscathed. But I unfortunately can't say the same for Katya. A piece of shrapnel pierced her back and went all the way through her chest.
Henry sets her down, and grabs her sword. Turning to me, we both run off in the forest to avoid the next hit.
We find ourselves in some forest clearing, and that's when we see what blew Jimmy up and killed Katya... A FUCKING TANK!
Henry is distracted, and I snag the sword away from him and took off running towards the tank. I jump up and climb up to the top where a man starts shooting at Henry. Taking out the sword, I slice off his head, and push him off the tank, going in and shooting the guys driving the tank before the could do anything.
I quickly grab the guns and tossed one to Henry before realizing that there were more than one. He takes off to handle the next one while I grab the belt of grenades.
They worked last time, so I have a feeling I'll need them again.
I slip on the belt, and head over to Henry who already killed the guys in the other tank. Apparently he had a grenade of his own.
We take off into the clearing where we see more guys coming from a helicopter. Using the guns we took, we start shooting and they drop like 's when I notice that the man from the caravan is there. He's running towards, and with the sword in my hand, I started running towards him... Big mistake.
He shoots me with something that makes my body spaz up, and my entire body feels like I'm on fire. Fuck!He had a goddamn taser!
I fall to the ground, and my vision goes white. The pain stops, but I can't move yet. I feel someone lifting me up and tossing me on their shoulder.
Shit, I hope this is Henry, but I know it isn't.
I see clearly again, and I can hear the helicopter blades. Looking around, I see Henry fighting the rest of goons, and their almost gone. But I then hear something get thrown down from the helicopter. It's a rope!
If this prick gets me to that helicopter, I'll go back to Akan, and all of this will be for nothing!
I start hitting his back, and I try to kick his back, but this bastard is taller than I remember. After a while, I feel something sharp poke me leg. I look over my should to my thigh, and I see him injecting some pink liquid into my thigh, right where my main artery is.
I fight him as best as I could from my position, but quickly my body goes numb, and I can't move my legs or arms anymore. Slowly, my eyes shut, and I'm not longr aware of where I am, or is going to happen.
Shit... Whatever happens to me, just let Henry be ok.
I slip into unconsciousness... I'm hearing voices again.
I see myself, and... Henry on a beach. We're running along the coast of some beach. I feel the warm sand on my feet, the cool breeze flowing through my hair, and... Henrys fingers intertwined with my.
I look down at our hands, admiring our matching rings; two simple silver bands on our wedding fingers. I smile at them, but when I look up at him, it's not Henry anymore... Akan?
I walk backwards, and I realize I'm not on a beach anymore. The sand turned into some scientific lab, with computers, and other workers around me. That's when I see Henry and Akan in a room. I watch them through a window, and I see them arguing.
Henry is shouting at him, and he's shoving him back... But that's when the unthinkable happens; Akan roars out in anger, and hoists Henry up in the air, and slams him back down to the ground... over and over again, until I can barely recognize him.
I started shouting, banging on the window. I get Akans' attention, and he smiles at me, before using his powers to slam whatever is left of Henry into the window, and it's stained red with his blood.
I turn around to run, but that's when I see a woman with blonde hair jab my shoulder with a needle. I felt a fluid being injected into me, and she leaves it in me as she walks away to open the door. I painfully pull out the needle, and my vision becomes blurred.
The fucking bitch shot me up with a tranquilizer.
I look up and I see Akan walking away, covered in Henrys blood. Then I see the blonde kneel down before me, and that's when I realized, that this is the woman who we're saving... Estelle, Henry's wife.
Sorry again that this took so long, but I'm gonna be at home for a while now, so an update will be posted soon.
