1st person P.O.V (Nathan):
Sanctuary, Unknown Date:
'Twas another beautiful night in the little town known as Sanctuary. The holiday decorations were up, the lights were shining brighter than ever, and the smoke from the food was enough to say that this Christmas was going to be a good one. "Honey?" She said across from me as we sat down across from each other on the dinner table, having dinner as usual. "C-Can I you know, tell you something?" Her voice sounded soft, but it was something I would never want to stop hearing. I look up from my plate and look into her hazel eyes. God she was so beautiful. Take all the stars in the galaxy and put 'em together and that wouldn't compare to her at all in any way. But it wasn't how she looked that made me fall for her. I look at her and place a comforting hand on hers to ensure her that she can tell me anything.
"Nora, you could tell me anything… No matter what I'll always be listening." I said, my voice just as comforting as my hand on hers. I wasn't the best at smooth talking, but I'll always try my best. She places her other hand on top of mine, blushing a bit with a small smile on her face. I'd be lying if I said my face wasn't flushed either. Each and every second with her was a moment I could cherish forever.
"Look I know this is out of nowhere, and this might sound a little weird since I got this from a book I was reading but..." She paused for a bit leaving me at a brief cliffhanger. "If there is ever a day where we can't be together…" She paused again making me concerned at what she was trying to point out. "Just put me in your heart, and I'll be there forever." I was filled with happiness at what she said, but at the same time more concern as she might be foreshadowing something.
"Hon, even though you just got that from a book that was the most beautiful thing you have ever said to me… No one can say it better than you… But why did you say it now? Is something going to happen?" I am concerned at what she is hinting at this point. I loved what she said, but if something is going to happen I need to find out. I wouldn't want us to be suddenly hit with emotions if what she tries to hide suddenly hits us. I want her to be safe and to be as happy as possible, not dread her whole life trying to keep something away from me.
"Nate, no it's just that… I love you so much and I just wanted you to know that no matter what I'll do my best to always be there, and if I'm not…" Her brief pauses strike me again. I gotta admit though, her way of speech amazes me. Where she pauses when she speaks, the way she talks depending on her situation… It suits her especially since she's going to be a lawyer. Though I digress, it just amazes me to the fact that I am actually talking to her at this very moment. "Move on… For me. I wouldn't want you to sob over me forever. I want you to move on, continue on with life because, I can't bear keep the fact that you aren't able to move on at all, just because of me…" She said sniffling quietly looking down at her feet. I open my mouth to say something but she suddenly starts again. "I-I need to go outside…" Nora gets up from her seat and looks at me with tears coming down from her eyes. We stare at each other for a prolonged moment, then I realize something. Nora hasn't blinked at all or even moved. What the hell was going on?
"N-Nora?" I said as the room around me started getting darker, and the temperature started going down. I close my eyes for a brief second and open them only to see everything that was there wasn't there anymore. "Nora! What's happening? Where are you?!" Oh god, this isn't the way this night went. What the fuck is happening? I turn around only to see Nora, in the form of ice, and echoes of a baby suddenly fade in, getting gradually louder around me. "NORA! Please, answer me!" I get up and grab her shoulder, only to go through her and fall down. She does nothing but turn around to look at me in her cryogenically disabled form. I lay there in tears, not knowing what to do. My heavy breathing suddenly stops when I hear her say my name. "Nora?"
"Is it over? Are we okay?" She says quietly to nothing but blank space as the baby stops crying suddenly.
"Nora? Nora! Oh my god… No…" I look at her, then suddenly a man's voice fades in.
"Almost. Everything's gonna be fine." The familiar voice says. Everything suddenly turns black, and I can't see anything but plain darkness anymore. I hear them talking, but I've already realized what's happening. It's a certain event that recently happened. No matter what happens, it's always there. Deep in my mind this is the one that pops up the most. This is my worst memory yet. And this is the only memory that gives me all my motivation to find Shaun, as I promised her. I close my eyes, waiting for that moment I will wake up. After a few quiet moments, I hear the sound of a gun go off, and a bullet go through skin. "I'm so sorry Nora…"
3rd person P.O.V
Goodneighbor, Hotel Rexford, December 11, 2287:
Nathan jumps off his bed screaming, and tears on his face. He looks around to see that he is in the hotel room he rented the other night while Piper rented the other. It had been 2 days ever since walking from Red Rocket and Piper had suggested to rest first once they had arrived. After sobbing slowly on the floor for about half an hour, Nathan stands up slowly, and goes to his pack to change from his sleepwear into his vault suit. After he suits up, he exits his room, and goes next door to Piper's room and knocks quietly.
"Piper? You awake? I want to talk to the doctor Valentine told us about soon." Nathan receives no answer, "Piper!" He said again just to make sure. "Piper, I'm coming in." He said before slowly opening the door. He takes one step before realizing that he sees two people are curled up in the blanket together, the bigger figure in the blanket hugging the smaller figure from behind. Nathan says nothing but instead looks at the two figures in the bed for a long time. "Piper?" He says before taking two more steps and suddenly pausing when he hears footsteps behind him.
"Blue?" Piper looks through the half open door to see Nathan in an unusual pose as he looks at her then the duo inside the blanket, realizing what he was about to do. Piper looks at him and then realizes the residents sleeping in the bed. "What the hell Blue? I'm gonna… You know, wait outside…?" She whispers before backing up and walking away slowly.
Oh shit… Nathan thought wide eyed. I seriously thought that was her under that?! Nathan was only surprised with shock when he heard a woman scream. He looks at the bed and sees a woman covering herself with the blanket, and the man waking up slowly. "Sosorrywrongroomoops!" He said so fast before running out with a lit face. Nathan eventually ran out of the hotel seeing Piper waiting outside, writing on her mini notepad.
"Took you long enough." Piper looks at him with a smirk on her face. "Were you crying because of those two inside the room or…?"
"Long story." He says with a serious and exhausted look on his face. "Now come on, I think we were supposed to meet Nick here in the Memory Den." He says looking her directly in the eye. "We need to use this bastard's remains of his brain to find my son. Let's go." Nathan says, remembering what he had just dreamed about. Piper looks at him differently as he said those words.
"You okay Blue? You seem different today…" All Piper got as an answer was him walking away and towards the Memory Den. What's gotten into you lately, Blue? Piper puts her notepad away but before catching up with Nathan is suddenly greeted by a man.
"Hey good lookin…"
