The first thing Rebeka felt was pain. Extreme pain. And then voices.

She tried to open her eyes but the light was to bright. She closed them quickly and let out of moan of disturbance.

The room went dead silent.

"Did you hear that?" She could tell the speaker was right above her face. She couldn't tell who. Where was she? Who was talking? Who was in the room? Was she even alive. No she had to be, in this much pain?

"I think you forgot to give her another dose of her pain meds doctor." This voice was farther away and she could tell it was male.

"If she is feeling anything then that means that she is coming out of her coma and probably needs some heavier ones. Nurse, lets get her some..." The voice dropped away as she figured the doctor moved away.

"That's good right?" The voice close to her head moved away.

"Well...it has been almost four days. So yeah. Thats really good." Another voice, female, sarcastic, spoke up. The speaker got closer as she talked. "Rebeka...Rebeka..." The speaker was standing beside her. "If you can hear me do something. Nod your head. Moan again. Flick your finger. Anything. Tell us your back with us."

Her head was so heavy. Her fingers so light. She had to tell them. She was awake. She flicked her eyes open again. This time the light wasn't so bad. This time there was a dark figure to her right. But still the light hurt and she shut her eyes.

"Try again, Rebeka." The speaker moved. Her eyes noticed that it got darker.

She opened her eyes again. The speaker was blocking the light from the ceiling. Abbie. Rebeka gave a small smile.

"Hey." Abbie smiled. "Glad to see those blue eyes again."

Rebeka couldn't tell why Abbie sounded so not herself. The light and airy voice wasn't completely there.

"Close them again."

Rebeka did and felt Abbie move away.

"Julian, turn off the lights."

Her eyes shot open. The lights were shut off soon after and the room was darker.

"Ju..." Rebeka's throat killed.

"Its ok." Abbie smiled and patted Rebeka's hair. "Sydney, Julian, and Kenneth were unable to pull away from Raul. He is dead now. There are no more of a threat then a chicken."

"Chicken?" The voice that had spoken to the doctor. That male voice. That was her brother. So who was the third person here?

"Who..."

"Who else was here?" Abbie could read minds, Rebeka was sure of it. "Someone who would at this point would like to remain nameless. If thats alright with you. The doctor is coming back with something a bit stronger for you since your awake now. I'm sure you are in a lot of pain. Would you like some water?"

Rebeka blinked. Her head was so heavy.

"Ill take that as a yes. "Abbie motioned with her hands and Rebeka figured she wanted Julian to give her the water. But Abbie stood up and walked away. Rebeka soon heard the door open and shut.

She closed her eyes and soon felt the bed move again as another body of weight came onto it.

"Rebeka?" Julian's voice was timid. "I have some water for you."

She opened her eyes. He held a green cup with a straw sticking out close to her mouth.

She slowly opened her mouth, focusing her look on the cup. He positioned the straw in her mouth and she drank. Once she was done she reopened her mouth and he pulled the cup away.

"Can we talk?"

There really was no way to tell him no.

"Blink once for yes and two for no."

Oh. Yeah. That was smart for him to choose. But she decided she would listen. She blinked her eyes once.

"I was hoping, extremely hoping that you would say yes." He sighed. "I want to start from the beginning."

"The day that I left...I didn't know where I was going to go or anything that I had to do. I didn't have anything planned. I just had to get away. I couldn't be near anywhere were our mother had been. It hurt too much." He sighed. " So I had planned on just leaving for like a year or two, find a job, earn some money, and try to make it up to you and dad for just leaving. I felt ashamed that I had to leave, that I couldn't handle it. My second job that I found was working for Raul. Back then I didn't know anything about him or what he had planned to do. Sydney and Joseph started soon after, but they knew. Sydney was interested in me and apparently had Raul research my background, more then the normal job actually needs. Seeing as that I am a decedent of Mina, he took interest. And before I knew it I was apart of this...thing...Im not sure how to describe it. And to be honest I don't remember much of why I did what I did for the past three years." He noticed her eyes closed. "Rebeka, you still awake?"

She re-opened them. She started looking around the room. She noticed a pad of paper and pen on a near-by-table. Luckily he noticed her look and went and got them for her.

He waited for her to write.

WHAT ABOUT KENNETH? was written in big bold letters.

"Kenneth? He...uh...he was already with them."

WHEN DID JOSEPH LEAVE?

"About two years after I arrived. He was somehow able to get through the pull or whatever Raul used to keep us under his perspective of life."

WHAT?

"Raul had us believe that the world needed a leader, or it would slowly go crazy and break itself apart. He had started all these civil wars to make it look like planets were already tearing themselves from within. We didn't know that he was the one starting them, we thought that it was the difference of options of the native people on the planets. Everyone that we killed or tried to kill. "He gave a small apologetic grin at his statement. "Were giving their lives in order to make sure that people didn't tear their lives apart- which would then destroy the whole world."

I SEE

She shut her eyes again after handing him the note. He had talked enough.

"Rebeka? Rebeka?" He went silent and soon she could hear him leave.

He gave her almost 2 minutes to cry before the doctor came with the new medication. Soon the world fell out of her consciousness.

"You're up!" Beth sauntered into the room. "And sitting!"

Rebeka gave a slight grin. "Thanks." Her voice was a bit horse. The lights half on in the room.

It was the next morning and she had slept almost the whole night again. At around 5 o clock in the morning she had woken up, luckily while the nurse was still checking her vitals and after having some more heavier pain meds arrive in her system, she had been able move around a bit and take a look at herself. At around 8ish the nurse had come again, moved her into a sitting position and helped her eat some pudding.

Beth sat down in the chair by her bed. "You look funny, like a mummy dressed with all these bandages. They tell me they got whatever that poison was out of your body. Nasty stuff. That's why your in pain. The cuts you had weren't bad, but you had a lot. It was really scary to look at."

"How are you?" Rebeka moved slowly and grabbed her cup of water. Her throat was dry still.

"Good. Once we arrived here all they needed to do was pump it out of my system. Took a little while and it was kinda painful. I've just been able to start moving around on my own, now. I'm not really suppose to be here with you...but," She bit her lip. "I don't know if you noticed with Abbie yesterday, but she changed and I'm kinda worried."

"I noticed. I don't know much of went on. By the time everything was happening around me...I was already focused on my pain and stuff." Rebeka shuddered. She never wanted to remember those couple of hours.

"I know that we all changed because of all that we went through, but I don't see her in that body. I see someone else. And maybe this is who she is now. But... I just don't feel that it is."

Rebeka gave a slight nod.

Beth looked at the clock. "I don't have much time before they realize that I am gone. I also heard you saw Julian. How did that go?"

"Ok."

"Good. He really is back, Rebeka. He really is and he feels horrible for the past 5 years. Give him some time and try to give him some help. He needs it." She stood up.

"Sydney?"

Beth sighed. "She is not handling this as well. Seems that Joseph and her were around Raul since they were like 10 and she's done a lot for him. Its hard for her to wrap her head around everything. I'll see you around, ok?" She smiled back at Rebeka and left.

Jared came and visited with Rebeka later that day. "Beth told me she visited you."

"She told me no one was suppose to know about that visit."

"Hospital stuff, yes. Fiancée...I think I should know." He smiled. "I'm glad that she got up. It shows that she is getting her mobility and spirit back."

"She wanted to talk about how Abbie has changed."

Jared nodded as he sat down. "She fought with Raul for almost two hours, between the paralyzing arrows to you getting cut up to have your blood release a huge dreadful, unfightable and undefeatable army...it made her have to harden that caring heart that she has and I dont know if she will ever truly be the same happy go-lucky person. But it might be for the best. She has to work on seeing the good with the bad, right now all she can think about is the bad, while on the Moon everyone always thinks of the good, know how to handle the bad, but think of the good."

"True. But you might want to talk to Beth about it. You know how she tends to worry about people all the time."

Jared smiled. "They are doing tests on her right now, and I wanted to talk to with you. She also told me that Julian was able to talk with you. How did that go."

"Go...life is going to be complicated...but what is new. I don't know if I will ever forgive him, but I'm not mad about it anymore." She shrugged her shoulders. "So at least that is a step in the right direction."

"He is completely sorry for everything that he did."

"I know. But unforutantly he still did everything. And that I can't forgive so easily."

Another Chapter...this story's ending is going to be a little bit longer then I had originally thought about. But only a couple more. Hopefully everyone will enjoy this chapter! Peace!
