MEMORY LOSS

CHAPTER 22: MY PAST AGAIN

I woke up on the floor face down in a pool of blood. The sounds of people screaming filled the air. I glanced up to weak to move my body. Keys was standing in front of me. But something was different. We weren't on the Kurt ship, we were in my old room. I was dreaming again. Keys turned and walked away out of sight, my body filled with anger and hate but I was to worn out to do anything. I laid there for hours, the screaming in the background settled down. I than heard foot steps running towards me, someone was coming.

"Is he dead?" a voice said from above me. I couldn't see who it was because he was out of my field of vision. "Looks like it, General Keys was in charge of this area so its unlikely anyone survived" another voice answered. I mustered all my strength into my neck and moved my head to the side to see a man was standing over me. Oh my gosh...... Its Martin. Another man popped up into veiw, it was Steve. "Hey did you see that Mertin?" Steve asked, "its Martin" Martin corrected.  "Oh sorry again, but yeah did you see that?" Steve said.

"See what?" Martin asked, "his head moved, hes alive" Steve than grabbed me and picked me up and propped me on his solider. I gasped for air, Martin lifted my other arm over his shoulder. "I can't believe it, he is alive, lets get him to the medics outside" Martin said. As they dragged me thourgh the hallway I seen blood smeared and splattered over the place. Where's Dad and Mom? And my little sister. They took me outside and what I seen was more than I could bare. Most of the houses around were reduced to rubble.

The sun was blocked by a huge ship in the sky. Tears rolled down my face but I couldn't make a sound. There was a long row of large ambulance trucks parked in the road. People in white uniforms were tending to all the injured. Steve and Martin took me into the closes truck. It had a bed in one corner and had a shelf full of medications. They both laid me down on the bed. "Looks like hes been stabbed" Martin said. "Do you think Keys got to him?" Steve asked. "Nope, he wouldn't be alive if that happened" Martin answered.

"Yeah but I heard he was in the area" Steve said. Martin just shrugged, I didn't notice this but they both looked younger. Suddenly a man walked into the truck. He had a white uniform on and a white beard. "You kids are back, and you helped find someone" he said. "Yes, anything to help" Martin said.  The man walked up to me and placed his finger on my neck. "His pulse is extremely faint, if you guys didn't find him he would've died" the man explained."Will he be okay?" Steve asked.

The doctor reached over at the shelf and took a syringe. "Yes, now go home" he ordered as he filled the syringe with some clear liquid. "But sir we wanna help" Martin said, "my home was destroyed" Steve chimed in. The doctor stuck the needle in me, "your not the only ones" the doctor said. Suddenly my vision became blurry, I closed my eyes and went to sleep. When I awoke I was in a small bunker. I looked around to see I was in the bottom bunk of a bunk bed. My clothes had changed, I was in a white tank top with some jean pants.

Where am I? Suddenly Steve rushed in panting. He looked a little older and was wearing the same thing I was. "Captain, they caught an alien" he struggled to say as he tried to catch his breath. I hopped out of bed "seriously" I said. "Yeah follow me" Steve said as he ran outside. When I followed him out I was blinded by the brightness of the sun. I looked around  to see hundreds of soldiers walking all over the place. There were bunkers littered everywhere and helicopters flying around. I was in a military base.

I ran behind Steve following him for a few minutes to a large tent. When we entered the whole place was filled with a crowd of soldiers. Me and Steve pushed thorough the crowd with ease into the center. There was a large cage in the mist of  everyone. But what was in the cage took me by surprise. It was a beautiful girl with long red hair and purple eyes... Its Shekra. She was sitting there with her knees against her chest and tears in her eyes. "She looks human" I said. Steve stared at her in amazement.

"Nope, the scientists looked into her DNA and couldn't find any source of humanity in there, we found her in the desert with a dozen dead Kurt soldiers around her" Steve explained. I looked her one more time, she wasn't what I expected when Steve said 'alien' but it didn't matter. I turned my back, but as I did everything went dark. I blinked my eyes and I was suddenly strapped to a chair. I was in a large white room. A bunch of men in surgeon uniform were hovering over me. I started to struggle but someone grabbed my hand. I looked to my right to see Shekra was there strapped to another chair.

She looked a little older, almost like herself. She smiled at me "calm down baby and be strong..... For me" she said. I started to calm dowm and relax a little. "We're about to start" a voice said to my left. I looked to see Martian and Steve was there also strapped to there own chairs. "Ready for a dose of the enemys tech" Steve joked obviously scared. I chuckled than looked back at Shekra "as long as your here I'll be ready for anything" I said to her smiling face. Suddenly the doctor pocked me with a syringe along with Shekra Martin and Steve. My vision started to slip away and I fell unconscious.
