Facing The Light [EDITING ON HOLD]

Chapter 16 ~ Who Am I?

Chapter 16 ~ Who Am I?

The rooms and halls in Noah's headquarters were familiar and easy to get around. The guy Noah introduced as Nate showed me around the place, explaining to me what my role in the Aphotics was: to fight and destroy anyone who opposed the army and to make the world a better place, a place where only the strong and powerful lived in.

"He wants to see you." Nate said to me a we stopped in front of a large door covered in a golden pattern.

I opened the door and stepped inside. Nate closed the door after me and left me alone to face Noah. "You called?" I asked.

"Yes. I have a task for you. It shouldn't be too difficult so it should take a day or two." He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. "I need you to take care of two people."

"Their names?"

"Luke West, Stan Marsden and Roady Carter."

I nodded and, following his orders, I stepped out of the room and prepared to leave. My targets names were flowing through my mind as I headed onto the main road into town. As I walked, I was careful of my surroundings. Everything seemed normal, but a small feeling that nothing was fine creeped around my stomach.

Noah had told me that I was one of his followers, but I couldn't remember what I is in my life up until now. I didn't know if I was even the person Noah claimed I was.

Who am I?

With these thoughts roaming around me, it seemed like just minutes before I reached town. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the note Nate gave me. It read the directions of where to meet my targets.

I came across a house. It stood between me and my targets. I closed my eyes and remembered Noah's words. "You can control their emotions. Use that to your advantage, my soldier."

I sighed and opened my eyes. Clenching my fists, I walked up the path to the front door. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed as my head began to ache like a hammer was smashing against my skull. "Damn it." I muttered through my teeth and shook my head.

The pain gradually went away and I sighed in content. I continued up the path and stopped in front of the door. I rested my hand on the knob and twisted it slowly. It was unlocked. That was their first mistake.

I creeped inside and the lights were on. They're still inside. After I closed the door, I heard voices come from the other room and I stood straight. Then, three men, two around the same age and one that looked my age. They all stopped talking and just stared at me.

"Skye? What are you doing here?" One of them asked and I glared at him. How did he know my name?

"I am here to follow my masters orders." I replied, gritting my teeth.

All of their eyes widened and the boy my age stepped forward. I flinched, preparing to attack when he spoke, "It can't be..." He whispered.

I held my chin up and looked at him. "I have come to kill you all."

"B-but, you can't. You can't kill us, you know who we are... don't you?"

I stared at him for a while, but then I shook my head.

"Skye." My head whipped to the other man and he looked straight into my eyes. "You do remember us. I am your father, and he-" he pointed to the boy "is your boyfriend." For some reason the man cringed slightly as he said those last words.

The pounding in my head came back and I groaned, dropping to my knees as the pain was so unbearable. My lips went numb and my body was stiff all of a sudden, and I forced my eyes to look into the guy in front of me. His ocean blue orbs sent waves of hurt through me, but I continued to focus into them.

Images of a man and a woman invaded my eyes as I stared into his. Two little girls were playing by a swing set in a park. The man and woman I assumed were the parents suddenly looked terrified, then they all disappeared. I concentrated on the pain in the woman's eyes and that activated my ability.

The guy who was claimed as my "boyfriend" pressed his lips tightly together. A single tear slid down his cheek and onto the floor. His face was dark and sad, which only meant to me that I had hit him hard.

I had used his own memories against him.

I smirked as the pain went away and enclosed my hand into a fist, then I didn't hesitate to punch him in the jaw. He flew back, and I jumped to my feet, ready to do it again.

"It seems she's had her memories wiped like Nate's. It's only a matter of time before she is completely lost." Said the short bald man.

"What are you talking about old man?" I questioned him with a bitter tone. How did he know who Nate is? What did he mean by my memories being wiped?

I couldn't remember anything about my past up until this moment. Could he be telling the truth?

"You're not who you think you are Skye." The bald man said. "Your memories have been wiped clean. I can help you get them back."

I stepped back as the boy I punched stood to his feet, his legs wobbling slightly as he did. He rubbed his jaw and glared at me, but then his eyes showed sadness. I smirked at him, knowing that I had caused him pain. "I don't need help because you're all lying." I said, keeping my guard up.

"Please, trust us Skye. You can't lose to Noah." The boy spoke in a whisper that I just picked up.

"I haven't lost to anyone!" I yelled, unable to concentrate as they all stared at me with worried eyes. "I will be back, and the next time I see any of you, I won't hesitate to end your life." I gave them a hard long glare before storming out of the house.

Noah wasn't going to like what I've done, but I was one to keep my word.

I will kill them all; even if that means risking my own life.
