Before You Remember

Season 2 Chapter 25 The enemy's fall and ally's little victory

Kiaria was stuck in her dreams for days. She was in a loop of watching all the acts of crimes that Jax committed against the possessors and Sans and Ayla. It was disgusting to see him make advances towards both of them when they disliked him. She grew increasingly disillusioned by what she saw, especially how he treated Cassie. 

Kiaria understands now why Cassie limps everywhere and requires a walking stick to stabilise himself. It was getting harder to empathise with him the more she saw his capability for cruelty. Kiaria knew that she was in a dream but she couldn't help but continue to watch through everything. She didn't want to be in the shadows anymore.

She saw how heartbroken he was when she died, but her attention focused on Cassie as he broke into a frenzy while carrying her dying body. So this is why he is so overly protective in this life, she thinks to herself.

Kiaria had to remind herself not to hate Jax. It was so easy to hate him and she knew that she would be trapped in the vicious cycle of hate if she allowed herself to free fall. She keeps reminding herself that he only slipped into heaven because of her. With light comes darkness. With hope comes despair. And with selflessness, comes greed. It was as if her original soul was so pure that the universe had to create an energy so venomous and dark to pair with him. If anyone had to step up and stop him, it was her.

She should have just left him to die in the pack of hyenas. That was the best chance of everything.

But when Kiaria thinks about who is keeping normal civilians alive, and who wants to map out the health of Serg possessors, her heart softens. She tries to think of all the times he was good towards her.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a pitch-dark vision which made her panic. Kiaria touches the surface that she is on and accidentally wanders too far, falling into mid-air and knocking her legs against the wooded corners of the surface that she is on. Her legs were stinging now and she took a while to try to stabilise herself. She must have been on the bed and fell off, so she is on the floor now. Kiaria continues to touch the floor and anxiety rouses within her. What was happening? Why couldn't she see anything? She felt her body slightly weak but she was better than previously whereby she was burning inside out. She continues to move forward while patting the floor and makes sounds out asking if anyone was there. Then, she touches what feels like a wall and starts thumping on it fiercely with a deep fear within her.

 Kiaria knew what this was. She was blind.

The doorknob turns and the door creaks open, which shocks Kiaria. Without her sight, she was rendered vulnerable. That fear causes her to move back physically and away from the source of sound.

"What are you doing on the floor?" An unknown voice booms across the room.

Sweats ran down Kiaria's face and she continued to move backwards until she hit the wall. The person follows her and Kiaria could not keep up a facade of bravity.

"Don't come near me!" She screams out. She used whisperer to call any nearby animals or insects for rescue, but no calls were returned. She attempted to use her physical ability which she hasn't quite figured out yet what it was but nothing happens.

A tear strolled down her cheek as she felt like she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, as much as she wanted to resist being weak in front of someone that she didn't know.

She hears that the human in front of her bends down and is nearby towards her.

"You...are blind." The man scoffs as if this was something humorous.

"You with S tier multiple abilities. Is a blind girl?"

Kiaria starts tearing up even more. She knew that she was captured by the beings who were there that night trying to murder Jax.
