Lost In The Time Of Memories

Chapter 29

I felt nothing.

I hid my head between my knees as tears dropped from my eyes.

"Thea!" I heard my name get called out but refused to move, knowing it was just my imagination. "Thea!" I heard the voice again, right in front of me this time.

"Zachary?" I looked up with teary eyes, almost unable to hold my own head up at this point. There he was Zachary was alive and in front of me, holding the bars to my cell as a look of hurt flashed over him.

"Open it!" He demanded sternly, stepping aside to reveal one of the scientist who had experimented on me. Shuffling back in fear by back had hit the stone cold wall and second later the door was flung open and Zachary was rushing towards me. "Are you hurt? What happened? What did the do to you?" He inspected me for wounds while I dazed past him to stare at the scientist. "He's with us" he told me, looking me dead in the eyes,

"I thought you were dead" I held his face in my hands gently.

"Im right here" he smiled lightly before remembering the task at hand. "But we need to leave now, can you walk?" He asked and I responded by shaking my head. "Okay, I got you" he carefully scooped me up under his arms and my body became suddenly tired, head falling against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. "I need you to stay awake for me" he tried to keep my eyes open as we left the base.

"Where are we going?" I questioned as the snowy air hit me hard and I shivered.

"Home" he stated, opening the ramp to the jet and walking inside with me. "I grabbed your gear" he set me down and placed a bag of my gear next to me.

"Thanks" I smiled in response.

"Stay here, and don't even think about going near her" Zachary pointed to the scientist accusingly after cuffing him to the seat across from me. Rushing to the pilots seat he had flown us back to the base.

"Zach?" Charlie gasped at seeing his friend as he was walking to training.

"She needs medical attention Charlie!" Zachary called out in a panic upon rushing into the base with me in his arms, now unconscious.

"Let's get her to the lab" Charlie offered, both boys rushing in the direction of the base labs.

"There's a bad guy tied up on the jet too!" Zachary called to Emily and Sage as they passed him.

"I'll get him you go find out what's going on" Sage told Emily who was watching Zachary carry her friends body toward the lab.

"What is going on?" Emily shouted out at the two boys as she stormed into the lab to see the chaos. "Thea!" She looked to see my bruised and bloodied body. "What did you do to her?" The angry girl, pinned Zach to the wall.

"Nothing! If anything I saved her!" He raised his hands in defence. She pushed him back roughly before facing her friend.

"Simmons left for a another mission requested by Coulson himself, she won't be able to come back in time to help."

"Her wounds are none lethal, they won't kill her but we should start the healing process." Charlie explained to the worried pair next to him. "I'll get her all cleaned and bandaged up before we leave her to rest and regain her strength" he set to work immediately as the pair had watched with a slight relief that she wouldn't die.

~~~

"It's time to question him, we need you there" Emily peaked into the lab where I was sleeping in the bed and Zachary was seated next to me. I had been sleeping for a whole day now and Charlie feared that if I didn't wake up soon I would be set to fall into a comma.

"Go on without me, I'm not leaving her" he stated, eyes never leaving me.
