Every day Will took Riese out into the village and introduced her to the locals. While talking to the villagers they worked on building up the strength in her legs. After one month Riese was finally able to run without getting tired, and she decided that it was time to leave.
Riese packed a small backpack that Will had given her, with clothing that she had been given by the hospital. Unknown to the preparing girl dark rain filled clouds circled and covered the sun. Riese placed a belt with multiple pouches around her waist, it was just one of a few items that had been found on her, but try as she could she couldn't open the bags, it was like they were sewn shut. Four knifes were placed in the backpack, and a small necklace with a little green stone on it was placed around Riese's neck. Riese stared at the wall above her bed thinking about where she would go.
"Still planning on going?" Will asked.
Riese turned around to see him leaning against the door frame. She sighed, "Will we've talked about this. I have to find out who I am and make sense of all the images I see in my dreams."
"I know that I was just wondering because of the rain," Will said annoyed.
"Rain… what rain?" Riese said turning to look out the window. "Oh… I didn't realize it was raining."
"So are you going to leave in the rain?"
Riese glared at him. "No! I will just wait till tomorrow." She said walking over to the window. Pushing open the glass she breathed in the smell of wet earth and said, "It will be done raining by midnight at least. Tomorrow should be a good day to travel."
"How do you do that?" Will asked throwing up his hands.
"Do what?" "You always know about the weather, when it will rain, when it won't, how long it will last, and when bad storms are coming! Most of that knowledge was lost over a hundred years ago when the great dragons died!"
"I don't know… I just do… and it doesn't work all the time!" Riese replied still looking out the window, at a small black shape flying in the sky.
Will shook his head and placed a cloak on the back of one of the two chairs that had been brought in after Rose had complained about sitting on the bed all the time. Will sat in one of the chairs and watched as Riese stared out the window. She eventually sighed and closed the window latching it tightly into place.
Riese turned back to Will and saw on the chair next to him a deep green cloak. Her eyes got big as she walk towards it, picked it up, and felt the fabric in her hands. Smelling it she looked up at Will who was grinning broadly.
"The nurses made it as a going away present. They figured that since yours was in shreds when you got here that you would need a new one." Will said shrugging.
Thunder crashed loudly shaking the building slightly.
"Well I guess I better hurry before the storm gets any worse. My mom is sick and I have to cook dinner tonight. Maybe I'll bring you some." Will said.
Riese started laughing so hard tears were rolling down her cheek.
"What? What is so funny?" Will asked indignity.
Riese clamed her hysterical laughter and giggled, "Sorry… the image of you cooking just popped into my head and well… I couldn't help but laugh." Riese managed to say before another fit of laughter over took her.
"Hey! I take offense at that my cooking is very good!" Will said. Then while trying to hide a smile, he stormed out of the room. Riese watched him go and seeing the not so suppressed smile knew that Will was just pulling her leg.
The storm soon released its intense rain. The village looked deserted as everyone stayed inside to wait out the storm. A lone figure made his way through the heavy rain. He was about 5' 5" and wore a cloak so dark it looked like it was made of shadows. A hood covered his hair and dark glasses blocked his eyes. A small thin mouth stood out against the pale almost translucent skin.
The single man made his way up the streets and into the village square. He stopped outside the hospital and looked around. Making sure no one was in sight the man walked into the alleyway by the hospital.
Walking back a little bit the shadow man looked around and smiled an evil grin. He leaned against the dark wall and appeared to merge into the bricks. Most people called him The Shadow because he appeared to more like one, but most people didn't know that he could turn into a shadow himself.
He walked along the wall, over to the door, and walked right in to the hospital. The nurse on duty looked up thinking someone had come through but nobody was there shrugging she went back to her book.
The Shadow scouted out the hospital till finally he found his target. She was on the second floor, second to last room on the right. The man shadow went back to the waiting room and settled himself. He was patient enough to wait until everyone else had left the hospital. He watched and waited knowing that his prey wouldn't be going anywhere tonight.
The storm slowly passed and only a trickle of rain stayed behind to remind the land of the power water held. Night was fully settled and the shadows were stirring.
The hospital staff had all gone home. Only one nurse remained. The Shadow stirred and moved slowly to the nurse. As his shadow touched hers knowledge surged through his mind. His target's name was Riese and she had lost her memory. The knowledge about the young girl made him smile knowing now what to use against her.
Becoming human in an instant he quickly slit the nurse's throat silencing her permanently. Picking up the key to the hospital he walked to the front wooden door and locked it. Then slowly he made his way up the stairs.
Riese was listening to Rose's story of how she met her husband when the door opened. About to turn to see who it was a knife flew by, and Riese instinctively looked to see where it went. Blood quickly soaked the clean shirt around Rose's heart. The old woman stared at Riese with a blank and empty gaze. Riese stumbled out of her chair quickly turning to see who had attacked.
A man stood in the door way a malicious grin on his face. Riese took a step forward, and then was hurtling backwards and into the wall. The killer had her pinned against the wall with the strength of an elephant. A sharp sensation at her neck followed by a warm trickle of blood told Riese that this murderer had a knife to her throat.
"Hello… Riese." The Shadow said. "I'm known as The Shadow, and I've been looking for you. You see I was hired to kill your family and you are the last one left."
Riese stared unblinkingly at the ghostly pale face. She tried to see through the tinted glasses but soon found out it wasn't possible. All she could see was the evil grin of her captor.
"I see you don't remember anything… well let me refresh that memory for you. It was a well executed plan. Your uncle had me wait outside the room. Your family was sitting around the fire laughing and enjoying themselves. Your uncle stood up and proposed a toast and at the end I struck. Smoke filled the room and blocked out the light. Your uncle left the room and locked the door. I first went after the young woman with the child."
