The king's plan was simple; I was to distract the intruders until he could arrive with the skeleton warriors. The strange thing was that the intruders were holding back. They were not even trying to hurt me so I could handle them and the king wouldn't actually need to do anything. I summoned the shadows to attack them and they formed several black wolves and attacked them. The furry creature tried to tackle and grab me but I thought faster and created a shadow replica of myself and made it looked completely similar to myself. I repeated this until there were ten of us and we were randomly running about while the wolves were also attacking.

"Since when could she make exact replicas of herself using the shadows?" asked the blue eyed human as I ran past him. A vision appeared in my mind and I recognized him and the Dracula ghost as halfas.

"Her shadow to light ratio of her core must have changed. From what I'm seeing it looks like it should be half-half" inferred the older halfa. My replicas and I stuck one hand out and they each turned into a shadow beam and hit one intruder while I shot a light beam and hit the human wearing glasses.

"I think we should be focusing more on how to get her to stop" the one I hit shouted. I glared at them and sent the shadows to grab them. They swarmed beneath their feet and reached out and grabbed them.

"The king should be here soon so there's no point in struggling" I told them after seeing them struggle against the shadow arms.

"Spirit you don't have to listen to Pariah, he's done something to you; to your memories. We're your friends" the female human said.

"Why should I believe you?" I asked them.

"You choose what you want in your life. You never let what anyone said to stop you from being yourself and acting like you truly are. You were never the same as the other girls and always liked boy things like fighting and violence. You always believed that you have a choice, no matter what the situation you will always have a choice" one of the humans shouted. I paused, what he said sounded… true… something about what he said sparked something in my memories. Memories of failed friendships, smoke, fire… car crash… I put a hand to my temples as I tried to sort out my mind. Memories were riding in like crazy and everything was one huge mess.

I waved my hand at the shadows and got them to release the intruders. No, not intruders, were they friends? The creature and human who made the speech were family I think. Or were they? No wait they were, the human was my brother Solomon and the creature was a yeti named Frostbite and he was my adopted father.

"Ow… my head…" I whined about the pain in my skull. I glanced down to my torn dress and looked back up at my adopted father.

"Do you happen to have my clothes with you dad?" I asked him and was suddenly swarmed by all six of them in a giant group hug.

"Yeah, happy moment… but we seriously need to get out of here" I said trying to escape the hug. They let me out of the hug and I gasped dramatically trying to catch my breathe. I gestured for them to follow me and grabbed Solomon and flew ahead along one hallway.

I saw a flash of light and Danny was in ghost mode flying with Sam and Vlad was next to him with Frostbite carrying Tucker with him. I led them the whole way out and we escaped to a nearby apartment. After barricading the door entirely, Frostbite tossed me a bundle while I was grabbing a first aid kit. I handed the kit over while I looked through the bundle. It was my clothes from while I was in the other dimension and my hoodie and boots. My pants and gloves turned white for some reason when I touched them but I guessed it was because of my new core ratio. Didn't really matter much to me, I was trying to wear slightly brighter clothes anyway, except pink. I wasted no time into changing into the clothes and hugged my hoodie. When I finished changing I grabbed the bandages my brother was trying to wrap around his arm, moved it over and gently applied some healing cream to his wound.

"I thought you hated jeans" he remarked looking at my attire. I shrugged dabbing disinfectant then slowly wrapping his arm.

"These are kind of like my cargo pant I guess. They definitely don't feel like how jeans normally feel and they're really good in combat" I replied moving to his other injuries. Vlad was helping Frostbite with his injuries while I finished up on my brother's injuries and helped Tucker while Danny and Sam helped each other. I hissed in pain when I felt a sudden pain in my skull again.

"Her eyes are becoming dull again" Tucker panicked while I held my head.

"Spirit concentrate on here and now, focus on everything you remember and hold onto it" Frostbite advised and I tried doing as he asked. I felt the grip on my memories lessen after a minute and sighed in relief but continued working. I tried acting as if nothing had happened when I knew clearly what had happened. The grip on my memories was different this time; this time it wasn't Pariah. My memories were going away naturally. Pariah had messed with them to a point where there were going away naturally. I finished dressing Tucker's wounds and packed up the kit.

I went over to a corner in the apartment and pulled up my hood, hugging my knees close to me. I was scared; beyond scared. I could lose my memories at any time now, whether Pariah was trying to force me to forget or not and it terrified me. I pulled my hood down further to cover my face when I felt tears and tried to wipe them on my gloves. I felt someone sit next to me and pull me close. I didn't resist it and cried into my adopted father's fur.

"I'm scared dad" I choked out in between sobs.

"I know" he said hugging me closely.

"What do we do now?" asked Solomon.

"We prepare for war"
