Roads And Maps - Aru Shah

Password?

AN: So, I found this phone case on Pinterest... Why is my Pinterest feed stalking me?

Aru's POV

"Shah, this is getting creepy. Tell me what's going on," Aiden said, looking at me.

I tried my best to ignore him, but he wouldn't stop bugging me. "What's the password?" I asked.

"Not this again."

"Well, too bad. You will never know now."

I guess it is kind of creepy to have all of these random memories come back to you.

So far, Aiden remembered Denver, him and I dancing, and a teeny bit about the battle with the Sleeper. He knew that he got shot by an arrow because he was protecting me, once again.

Brynne, on the other hand, was much different than Aiden. It took one look at Denver to remember everything that included him. Then she saw me have the same powers as the Sleeper, which gave her all of her memory back. Pretty nice, eh?

Brynne looked so cool when she regained her memories. A blue glowing orb floated from the ground and absorbed her. At first, I freaked out. How was I supposed to know the orb was the missing part of her? She floated up in it then it sucked into her chest. You think your memories would go to your head, but magic is weird in ways.

She fell back to the ground in the lading position that Iron Man does. Sure, Brynne. STEAL MY SUPERHERO'S MOVE! She stood up and dusted off her pants. "I remember everything," she smiled. "Wait, how do I remember both what happened before and what happened during the period my memory was erased?"

"What are you guys talking about?!" Aiden demanded to know.

"Do you seriously not know?" Brynne asked.

"I have bits and pieces of things. I have no idea what is going on!" Aiden yelled.

"Aiden, please calm down," I said. I walked toward him slowly, not knowing how he was going to react to anything. 

"Calm down?! I know we fought the Sleeper together and I got hurt by an arrow because I was protecting you. Wait, why was I protecting you?" he asked.

Ouch... What was that supposed to mean Aiden?

"I also know, I was jealous of you dancing with whoever Dustin or Denver is, but I don't know why I was jealous. It's not like I like you or did like you, right?"

I stopped mid-step, and I could hear the faint sound of my heart-shattering.

"Wifey, stop talking, please," Brynne said. Kara walked outside.

"Would you mind telling me why I needed help looking for Mochi when she was in my arms the whole time?" Kara asked. My brain didn't process what she had said.

My head was swimming. Aiden doesn't remember what happened between us. My legs felt like noodles, and I collapsed. I leaned up against the fence and tried to catch my breath.

"Tell me what happened, Brynne!" Aiden yelled.

Vajra magically transformed from my bracelet to a ping-pong ball. "Vajra, spear," I said just above a whisper. My whole body felt weak. I grasped the spear and used it as a walking stick.
