One week away from home...

Chapter 6

I glance over my shoulder as we hurry along, each step faster than the last. It was obvious that he was following us now, other people watched and stared with interest, thinking it was all just a game. 

...Just a game... 

The words rolled around in my head, what if it is a game, if he is purposely doing this and his friends are hiding and laughing at the girl with brown hair and brown eyes, desperately clutching on a younger boy's hand, his hair dirty blonde and blue eye's.

Slowly I lowered my head to search David's eyes, trying to find what he was feeling. Masking his feelings, this is something he could do all his life, and that is what he is doing right now. 

Suddenly I felt something heavy hit my head and my vision dimmed as I fell to the ground. "Bella!" I heard my brother yell but it sounded distinct. I still could see but black dots started to crowd my vision. I saw blood around my head. I mustered up the little amount of energy I still had, "Run" I told my little brother in a hoarse voice. He hesitated but soon got up and ran. He new I was a strong girl and I could take good care of myself. Slowly I closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

I woke up to a loud beeping noise. 

Slowly I looked around taking in every detail of the room. 

The walls were painted black, I was lying in a bed, also black, and hooked up to some sort of medical machine. Who ever's room this is, really likes black. I couldn't remember much, I got faint memories of what happened. Who was that child with me? Is this my room? Suddenly a man came in, he looked about my age. Who is he? 

"I'm glad your awake Bella.." the mysterious man asked me. 

"Bella..." I said. "So that's my name?" I asked, but it sounded more like a statement. I had so many questions. What hit me before I fell to the ground? Is my name really Bella? Is this man my brother? Or Uncle? Or cousin? I wanted to ask everyone of these questions but instead I just stared into his cloudy grey eye's. I took this moment to glance him over. He had hair as black as wet tar and his eye's as said before were grey and speckled with gold flecks, he was taller than me, and strong. 

"The name's Ryder by the the way" He said smiling. 

Ryder helped me up and opened the door. "Come on! I'll show you around." Ryder said. 

"So you're probably wondering where you are, why, and who I am. It might be hard to believe at first but i'm your brother. David, me, you and another girl, named Piper, are all siblings..." he started.

"Whoa, slow down"

"I know it's a lot to take in, but you got to believe me"

"So you knock me out, with a rock, then I wake up in a black room, not remembering who I am, then, you, a mysterious boy tells me i'm his sister, yea I totally trust you right know" I said, sarcasm laced into my words.

 He smirked at this and I pouted at him. I only just meet him and it feels like I've know him forever. 

"Well you have known me for a long time, you just don't remember it." He answered. Oh.. apparently I said that out loud. Seeing my confused look on my face he laughed and we sat down. 

Soon we were deep into conversation and he started explaining, everything. He told me how the people I thought were my parents weren't. My real parents died in a fire, (David was just born then, making me 11) leaving me, Ryder, Piper, and David to fend for ourselves. Soon people found us, and took us with them. But Piper, and Ryder escaped and the people didn't want us to remember what had happened, so they erased our (me, and David's) memories. Those people today are our so called parents. Ryder has been looking for us forever and now has finally found us. Piper though got caught and put in a orphanage and they are still looking for a way for her to escape. 

"...oh, and only last thing" he added "me, you and Piper, are triplets"

"I don't.... believe you" I said slowly. 

"I knew you would say that. Think what do you remember when you were 11 and under."

"Okay...There was this one time.... Um, I remember when.... Er... Oh... When I was younger I...." I couldn't remember a thing. Maybe he was right... 

"See you can't remember" 

"Fine, and could I have something to drink, I'm soooo thirsty" 

He got up from where he was and went to a cooler box in the corner. I took this time to glance around this room he had took me to after the black room we were just in. It had huge windows looking over the sea. Wait... What? Grandma hadn't lived anywhere near the sea. The wall's were a aqua color and  there where two comfy sofa's in the room facing a huge TV. There was also a coffee table in the middle of the room. 

"Think fast" Ryder said, pulling me out of my trance. I looked over at him and realized he was throwing the water bottle at me. The world seemed to go in slow motion. The cap came off and just when I was about to catch it I got soaking wet. Oh Ryder this means war, the idiot over laughing really hard loosened the cap. Ryder, Ryder, Ryder, you don' know whats coming for. 

Ryder was rolling on the ground clutching his stomach, while I was freezing my butt off here.  

"You think this is funny?" I asked. He couldn't even answer he just nodded his head. 

"Could I burrow some clothes, i'm soaking over here" He just nodded again and stood up walking to what, I assume is his room, chuckling on the way. After I got changed into his baggy clothes I walked out the bathroom. Once I saw him I smirked.

"You better sleep with one eye open tonight" I said winking at him. Then I walked away exploring this new house.
