There's something that dies inside of you, something that drops to the floor when you think or know something horrible and you're right. Life drops out of you every second that you feel the stone of memories that holds yo person close to you. Mans once that stone drops... It's so hard to regain those memories back.
So be careful when you choose to loose those memories.
Because once they're gone, they're obliterated.
Ben is one of the only family members I have and every time I see him I have a feeling and that feeling won't go away. It's not a gut feeling, it's the type of feeling that crawls on you and makes you second guess. This feeling is like someone's forcing me to feel this way. Brain manipulation, that's all I can think of. But, how? No one I know could of done this to me... except there is someone.
Sven Halder.
The man who's after me, the man who will do anything to rip me of my abilities and from any sign of life. The reason why all this mayhem was caused.
The man I have to kill before anything else happens.
We need to stop running.
And I need an X-Ray. Just to see if any type of device was inserted in my brain to take control of my mind.
"Oi! You guys stop arguing! It's not going to get us anywhere quicker. So shut your holes and listen up!" Iris barks. She's been so silent, so distant from everyone, even Xavier. Worry is seeping into her brain, I can feel it, I can read it.
I shut up and just death glare Ben.
"Speak to me when you know how to speak to people who you've practically raised." I spit.
"I'm sorry, Myra."
"No excuses and no apologies." I shut him off completely.
"Well anyone wanna help us find a decent hotel or where we are?" Max yells about 10 ft from where we all are.
I nod, same as everyone else.
"Well, from what I've seen on a map or from what I can tell where in on the outskirts of Sydney. With no money, no food, no clothes and no hope there's no point in being here. So if you guys stopped arguing and focusing on you're own lives maybe we could actually find a spot where we can get money, food and clothes. For Christ's sake! We even have a baby here! He's most likely to die if we don't find refuge quickly!" It's the first time I've ever heard Max yell at something and make everyone shut up and snap into reality and out of their little bubbles.
Everyone looks at Max and then to Iris and Xavier all of us have the look of shame and guilt. But, she's right we need to pull our heads in. I need to put my thoughts aside and just think in the moment not in the past or present.
"She's right, by the looks of the map we're around 4 minutes away from the next hotel." Iris smiles and picks up baby Charles.
"Sometimes we need people like you to pull our heads in, aye?" Ben says smiling and linking a arm around Max's shoulder.
"Hey babe, I'm sorry I've been so distant lately... I just don't know what's happened... I'm missing the other boys and I'm just so worried that we're going to be separated and I just... never want to lose you." Xavier wraps his son and girlfriend in his arms and kisses Iris on the lips passionately.
True love never withers in the eyes of evil.
"We need our boys here." Max says placing her hands around my waist and smiling at Iris and her small and happy family.
"And I need my girl." Alex says wrapping his arms around my waist as well.
"We're all a little family. So stop whining, I mean you all have me that's got to be pretty amazing." Azar says hugging me from behind and resting his chin on my head.
"You guys reckon anything bass going to happen to us?" Max asks.
"To be honest I think so... Yeah something's bad going to happen, we've been on the run for at least 6 months and haven't had a decent home for that long. We've hit the bottom and once you hit the bottom there's no where to go but up." Alex says.
"Motivational speaker alert!" I laugh with the rest of the group.
"Come on you guys! Iris and Xavier and Ben! You're missing out on the hug!" Azar says opening his arms.
I smile as everyone joins in laughing and smiling and squeezing. Giant human sandwich.
"Right! Um, we really need to get going guys... like really need to get going." Alex says looking around. I can feel his emotions... his uneasy and unsure not feeling safe where we are.
"Yeah we should, you read my mind young boy!" Ben smiles and begins to walk down the pathway.
"Ah Ben!" Iris calls out to him he stops and turns around.
"You're going the wrong way." She says putting on an English accent.
"Oh. Rightio then, off we go!" He says walking the right way.
There's something not right about him, I can't read him like I can read the others. In fact, I can't even read him one bit. His emotions are muddled and send different messages, then his thoughts are like mutters barely above the sounds of whispers. The type of whispers you can't hear.
We arrived at the hotel of 'Sunny Under Go Bed 'n' Breakfast' it was a cute little cottage like thing. Big and white around 3 storeys high. A nice bench outside and what looks like a little playground and backyard to the side of the house. Three lights were lit in the house. One I. The main entrance and two for two separate rooms.
An overweight middle aged woman walks out of the door in her nighty with two tight brown buns on the side of her head and bunny slippers on her feet and a flashlight in her hand.
"Myra Arrow?" She calls my name.
"Yes Ma'am?" I ask her. How'd she know my name? Out of the people to know my name
"We've been expecting you!" She says kindly and invites us inside.
