Chapter 2

Flynn's POV

The bear was so close and the pain surging through my body isn't helping one bit. That was a powerful blow that bear did to me. I knew I was done for and I closed my eyes ready to embrace the pain.

SLAAASH!

The pain never came. I opened my eyes to see Yuri taking the blow in my place and I saw blood dripping down his arm and suddenly he was flung through the air and hit the ground. The bear changed targets and was charging for Yuri. I finally got up and I ran towards the bear as fast as I can and I reached him before he could reach Yuri.

SLAAASH!

The bear fell down before me, but this time, dead. I didn't give a damn about the bear and I quickly went to Yuri's side to make sure he was still alive. I used my most advanced healing arte I have but it can only stop the bleeding and the injuries itself isn't fully healed.

"Yuri! Are you all right!" I shook his him but then I felt something wet on his left shoulder. I inspected my right hand and it was covered in blood.

"Damn it! Yuri, hang in there!" I yelled trying to use my healing arte to stop the bleeding on his arm. My body didn't have any more strength left to use the arte and Yuri was slowly slipping into unconsciousness.

Then, I saw a royal coach coming this way so I shouted as loud as I can, "Hey, I need help! My friend is terribly hurt and needs to see a doctor fast. Can you take us to Halure?"

Estelle's POV

I was going on the coach to search for Yuri, my childhood friend, which was kidnapped 15 years ago. Then, I saw a man waving and shouting at the driver, but we couldn't make out what he was saying. The driver asked me if we should see what had happened and, of course, I said yes. I love helping people that are in need. We were almost there to where the man was, maybe 15, 16 feet away, when I heard what the man shouted when he bend down watching over something, or someone.

"Yuri, hang in there! I've got someone to take us to Halure now, so just stay strong. You can have a long rest when we get back!" The man shouted to his partner lying on the ground.

I just couldn't believe what I heard him say. Did he just call his friend Yuri?! I need to get there as fast as possible to see if he is the Yuri of 15 years ago. "Can you go a little faster, please? I think that man's partner is hurt badly and I am a bit curious to see who the wounded person is." I asked with a hint of excitement etched in my voice.

We got to where the man was and I quickly got out of the coach to check the man that was said to be lying on the ground. "What happened?" I questioned him rounding a corner to where the blond man was kneeling down beside his friend.

"We were attacked by a bear like monster and it attacked me with a powerful blow knocking me down for a while. I couldn't move and he took the blow for me. Then the bear sent him flying through the air with another strong blow. I was shocked and mad at the same time and I got up and charged at the bear and killed it." He explained the whole story to me while pointing at the dead beast a few meters away from our current spot.

I didn't care about the stupid bear. I went straight to see the face of the man lying on the ground terribly wound on his shoulder blade. He had long raven locks with a handsome face. I gasped. That was Y-Yuri. That was definitely Yuri. I can remember his face anywhere.

"Yuri!" I kneeled down beside him and used my healing arte on him to stop his shoulder blade from bleeding.

"How do you know his name is Yuri?" the other man asked me with a curious look on his face.

"I'm sorry, my name is Estellise Sidos Heurussien (please tell me if I spelled her last name wrong, thanks), nice to meet you." I said politely holding out my hand.

"My name is Flynn Scifo, nice to meet you, too." He said shaking my hand.

"Oh yes, we should take Yuri to Halure for a doctor to check on his wounds. I could only stop the bleeding and he had already lost a lot of blood. He needs a good rest." I informed Flynn, "I'll take you guys to Halure in my coach. It'll be much faster than by foot."

"Thanks, that would be great! I just hope that he will be alright." He said staring at Yuri with concern in his blue eyes.

We arrived at Halure and Flynn quickly carried Yuri to the direction of the orphanage, which was a shock to me. I thought that he would take him to the inn and then get a doctor. "Flynn, why are you taking Yuri to the orphanage?" I asked curiously as to why he would go to the orphanage.

"Oh, that's because we live here when we were younger, before we started traveling together. I found him underneath the great tree and we took him in. This is our home." Flynn explained to me with a smile, "You avoided my question earlier. How do you know his name is Yuri?"

"He was my childhood friend from back then. He was the only prince and heir to the throne of Zaphias. He was suppose to be the new Emperor after the current King Lowell." I paused to catch my breath and continued, "He was kidnapped when he was six and the King and Queen searched for him everywhere. The Queen didn't eat for days, but someone said that he saw Yuri healthy and happy. That is how she started eating again." I know I was crying by now because I could taste the tears rolling down my face.

"Um . . . Estellise, I don't know how to break it to you, but when Yuri woke up he couldn't remember anything before he got here. He still hasn't recovered any memories even now. Don't worry too much, Yuri is a strong man, he will remember someday." He tried to comfort me with encouraging words.

Flynn's POV

We arrived at the orphanage and were greeted by kids crowding around our legs. They were looking at Yuri with worried faces. "Don't worry, Yuri will be fine, he is just injured." I said trying to sound cheerful, but failing horribly.

"Will Yuri be all right? He looks really pale and like he is in pain." A boy with midnight blue hair and eyes said. I recognized him as the one that likes to cling to Yuri the most. They were like best buds.

"He'll be fine. Where are Marianne, Luke and Lucifer?" I asked them with a firm voice, but inside I was shaking like mad.

"Ah, Flynn how nice of you to visit. Oh my, what happened to Yuri?" Marianne asked with concern obvious to everyone.

"He got hurt in a fight protecting me from getting hit and took the blow himself." I looked down, my bangs covering my face and tears threatening to fall.

"Put him down and I'll have a look at him. Hey, Luke honey, go get a doctor to come here to check on Yuri!" She shouted to Luke, who was in the kitchen washing dishes.

"Got it! I'll get to it right now!" Luke ran out the door to get the doctor that lives next door.

I carried Yuri to our old room that Marianne had reserved for us whenever we came back for a visit. I laid him on his bed and Marianne went to check on his wounds that Estellise and I had healed using our artes.

"He should be fine, but it is still best for the doctor to make sure he is really all right. In any case, he fainted due to the loss of blood." She informed everyone that is in the room.

"The doctor's here! This way please." We heard Luke yell to us.

The doctor did his job and said, "He is fine. The wounds already healed, but due to the large amount of blood lost, he might be weak for a few days. What's important is that he has enough rest until he fully recovers."

"Ok, thanks doctor. Luke, please show him to the door. Thanks." Marianne told her husband to escort the doctor out. (Yes, Marianne and Luke got married during those years in between.)

"I would like to stay and take care of Yuri. I'll make sure that he won't get out of bed and move too much." I pleaded because I know that Marianne will not trust me to take care of Yuri.

"I'll help to supervise them. Is that ok with you? I wouldn't mind." Estellise volunteered to with a bright smile on her face.

"Ok, since there is someone to watch over you, then I think it's ok. Flynn, you can stay as long as you don't destroy anything." She agreed and strode out the door.

"Thanks for getting us here. If it weren't for you, I think that Yuri would have been in even bigger trouble. I couldn't even use my artes because of that blow the monster had done to me. Thanks for saving my friend." I bowed to show my gratefulness to her.

"You're welcome, Flynn. It's the least I can do for my new friends." Estellise smiled and walked over to my bed and sat there staring at Yuri.

"Don't worry too much about him, he doesn't like people worrying over him." I said trying to ease her worry a little bit.

"Oh! I didn't introduce myself properly, have I? My name is Estellise Sidos Heurussien, princess of Zaphias, cousin and childhood friend of Yuri Lowell. Nice to meet your acquaintance." She curtsied at me to show politeness.

"You're a Princess!! I'm sorry if I was rude to you before." I quickly kneeled down in front of her.

"Oh, please get up, you weren't rude at all. You are my friend now so please treat me as a true friend instead of as someone that is of nobility. So, please get up." She pleaded me holding out her hand for me to take.

"Ok, I promise that I will treat you as a true friend, but also remember that you are still a princess after all." I took her hand and smiled at her in agreement.

"Maybe I should tell you a story when I was younger and before Yuri was kidnapped. That will help explain why I am asking you to treat me like a true friend. I was walking in the beautiful garden, that King Lowell had given to Yuri as a birthday present, to go see Yuri liked we had planned. When I got to the middle of the garden I saw all my best friends crowding around Yuri to get him to play with them. As you see he was quite the ladies man back then even if he was young he was still very handsome." She giggled a little at the last comment.

"You know what, he is the still the ladies man right now. Literally all the girls in Halure knows him and they kinda made a fan club devoted just for him. I just hang around with him and I got one myself, too. Hahaha!" I laughed as the thought of Yuri and myself being chased by fan girls came into mind.

"Hehe I guess he still hasn't changed much. Still the handsome guy as always." She giggled happily but continued on with her story, "I was walking over towards them, but halted instantly when I heard them say, "What's so good about Estelle, she isn't as pretty as all of us. Is it because she is a princess or is because she is rich? We can be richer than her and give you much more things." I was so sad and I felt so betrayed that my friends talked like that behind my back. I thought that they were my friends, but I guess they just befriended me for my status as princess and to get close to my cousin. I know tears were flowing down my face now and I tried not to get their attention so I ran away. I heard Yuri yell my name and I new that he saw me, but I couldn't stop running my feet just kept on carrying me away. I also heard Asch, my older brother who is best friends with Yuri, calling me and running after me. I tripped and before I knew it I was falling, good thing Yuri caught up to me and caught me before I fell. Now, I was crying non-stop hugging Yuri."

"That's very sweet of him to hug you so close and comfort you like that." I said teasing her a bit because she was blushing, "He is very kind to the elders here and he always find time to help the mayor here do errands. I usually tag along and help him out."

"He was the nicest boy that I ever met in my whole life." She said starring dreamily at the sleeping Yuri, "That day he told me that he would never think that way about me and that I will always have a special place in his heart. I was so happy to hear that and Asch also said that he would always love his cute little sister no matter what. That moment I felt like the happiest girl alive to have two handsome boys that care so much about me. From that day on I was a little scared to make friends because I was afraid to get hurt like that again. I am sorry if I kinda made you listen to this story. It must have been boring and pathetic to you." She said gloomily and instantly finding the floor very interesting.

"No, not at all, it wasn't boring or was it pathetic. It must have been a bad experience to have to feel all that when you were that young. I used to be bullied by the older boys saying that my mother and father abandoned me, but I know that they didn't. They… died a long time ago in the war." I explained my past feelings to her.

"Hey, Flynn, what happened?" Yuri spoke uncertainly.

"Yuri, you're awake! You got hurt saving me from the blow and Estellise here healed you with her healing artes and took us here. You should thank her, Yuri." I smiled walking over to him and checking to make sure that he was ok to move around.

"Thank you for saving me, Estellise." Yuri nodded in her direction.

Suddenly Yuri groaned in pain holding his head. "Yuri, what's wrong? Are you alright?" I was panicking not knowing what to do.

Yuri's POV

My head hurts. It's driving me nuts. "Aaarrgghh!!!" I groaned as the pain increased. Suddenly pictures of a pink hair girl appeared and she called out my name. Her voice was like wind chimes and I think I know this girl somewhere. Then, there was a scene of a little girl with pink hair running towards me and another boy the same age as me calling Yuri and Asch. Her name, what is her name? I saw the me in my head calling her Estelle. That must be her name. Then the pain was gone from my head.

I stared at the pink haired girl and said, "Estelle…?" my voice was filled with uncertainty.

Then suddenly I felt someone's weight on top of me, arms around my neck and soft pink hair was in view. She smelled like strawberries, so sweet. "Estelle and your brother Asch, my cousins and best friends, I remember something, finally." I hugged her back with a contented smile.

"Yuri, you remember…me and Asch. I am so happy to hear that, I must send someone to tell Asch about this." Estelle said and rushed out the door.

I turned my attention to Flynn and he was smiling. Somehow I have a bad feeling about his smile. It's starting to creep me out, sending shivers down my spine. He took a step towards me, I moved back. We were like that until he cornered me on the wall with a smirk on his face.

"So, you finally remember something about your past. I am happy for you. Here's the question that I am dying to ask. Do you like Estelle? (A/N: He assumed that it was easier to say Estelle than Estellise and also it was quite a nice nickname.)" He smirked and stared me in the eye.

"I-I…-"

That's the end of the chapter 2. Sorry about the cliffhanger, i thought it might be nice for people to guess what happens next.

I hope that you enjoyed this chapter.

Please review. (no flames please.)
