The Remembrance

Chapter Seven

Chase woke up to feel extremely warm. He opened his eyes and found himself in his bedroom. Tucked snug in bed, Chase looked around to see if anyone was in the room with him. No one in sight. He was tired all right. The night before was a pain in his ass. He learned so much, but there was so much he didn't understand.

Lilliana entered the room with a warm smile. Something about it spoke bad news to the sleepy boy though. "Hey Chase," she said rather dully.

"Why so glum?" asked Chase.

"Well I have some bad news," she started. Wherever this was going, Chase knew the news she was bringing was not particularly good. "So about Haden, or Hector, or whatever you call him."

There was a moment of silence before Chase urged her forward. "He disappeared," she blurted.

Chase was in complete shock. Hector was no where. He had just disappeared. "Another thing is that your mom is gone too. George reported his dad and mom were missing as well," she added.

It was just bad fact on top of bad fact. Chase's life was not what he thought. He didn't even know what was real or not anymore. He would have to deal with it and that's what he planned on doing. At least until Camille arrived. The timing of her arrival couldn't have been more perfect. If Haden wasn't around to give insight on his memories, then why not grab the person who has a crush on Captain to tell him. Plus, he might need a refresher course in force magic.

---------------------------------------------

Thursday dragged on boringly. The day brought nothing new. The three ditched school and thought there excuse was pretty good. They had just learned they were the three triplets Fairy Godmother, Rogue, and Captain.

George decided it was best if he spent the day with Sandy. He said the connection between the two was lost and their bond is harder to get back together then Chloe and Chase. Chloe needed to be alone for the day. She was taking it harder than all of them. George found the whole thing cool, and Chase wanted to be apart of the Thunder Gods so badly that the impact wasn't as severe.

Chase just set at home with Lilliana, who constantly told stories of the pair. He was aware of some, but others he was shocked at. Apparently, Captain was known as a very honest man who liked to share his feelings with everyone. That was why his crew was so diligently picked. Most would run home anyways after all the insults he gave.

As the day came to a close, Chase got ready for bed. Lilliana was given Chase's mom's room. Or was it her room? Haden's wife was never shown to Abkar. "Was that really my mom that I have been living with," he thought to himself as he closed the door to Lilliana's door shut. The little Guardian God got tired too.

As he got in his bed, Chase thought of what tomorrow had for him. He realized that George and Chloe couldn't have parents if their real dad was Hector. There was that too. Chase had no idea what to call his grandfather. There it was again. Hector had to be his father not his grandfather. It confused him too much. Instead, he decided it was best if he just dozed off.

---------------------------------------------

A sudden push woke up Chase. He jolted up to find Lilliana there. She had shaken the living day lights out of him. "Come on no time to explain we have to get to the hospital," she rushed out of her mouth.

Reluctantly, Chase got out of bed and pulled on his favorite jeans, a light blue polo, and his hiking boots. After everything he had been through, Chase didn't care what he wore. He grabbed his phone and hurried out after Lilliana. This wasn't how he wanted to spend his 'sick' day.

As he got to the door, Lilliana stood there impatient. "Why are we going to the hospital this early in the morning?" asked Chase panting for breath. He was far from a morning person unlike Lilliana who had enough energy to fuel dozens of eighteen wheelers.
