The Final Fight : the Haunted

Ch.24-past

Grayson's POV

It has been about an hour since Drake passed out. We had made a fire and got out our sleeping bags. I put Drake in his and gave Armen the extra one. He seemed almost uncomfortable for a second. He was thinking about something and it probably wasn't good. He had been through so much. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. I notice Mia glance at him and then Drake. She noticed me and our eyes met. I looked to Armen who was staring at Drake like he knew something. "How long was I gone for?" He looked up had a serious tone to his voice. "About 5-6 years. Why?" I asked in confusion. "What happened.when I was gone" "Armen are you sure?" "Yes" "ok then..." I explained some of the parts trying to leave out some parts of him destroying towns and almost killing us a few times. I knew he remembered some parts. He explained that he had got control at times. He told us how he had some memories of herobrine and memories of a room with nether rack and how it felt like that there was no sense of time. He had gone through things. He was sitting next to me. I put my arm around him to comfort him as he had to deal with these things all his life. I felt bad for Armen. Just like Drake he was still young. He had to go through this living hell. I considered telling him what we found out about Drake and Colin's journal at the library as it turns out Mia kept it for some reason. "Mia should we?" She gave me a confused look. I gestures to Drake who was to my right. She knew what I meant. "I don't know. Don't you think he's been through enough. Maybe let him process the information you just told him. It can't be easy learning about all the destruction he cau...." She stopped here realizing I didn't mention all the destruction. Armen looked down and  saddened. "Armen hey it's ok. It wasn't your fault. None of this is you know that right." "Grayson you don't have to sugar m coat it. I know you left out a lot of parts. I have memories you know. I might know a few things. Like what's wrong with Drake. I know what he did to him. And what else are you not telling me. Something about Drake. I need to know. Tell me please." I couldn't say no to him. He had the right to know. After all they were technically brothers. "Drake is your brother." I looked straight at him saying this. "My what? No my brother is gone. He was corrupted by him." "Armen Colin at the last minute had a plan. He was going to eject his humanity from his body and fuse it with another living creature to create a new person to protect you and also fix the mess hay he created. We found his journal at the library explaining everything. Mia give it to him. " she got out the book and handed it to him. He say for a few moist reading it and by the end tears started to form. He looked down like he wanted to cry. "Armen come here. " he got coder and I hugged him. I didn't let go either for a few minutes. He buried his face in my chest. I wasn't sure if he was crying. I moved so I could see his face. No he wasn't crying. I looked to Mia. He was just shocked. Kinda like how we were when we found out. I felt bad. Eventually he fell asleep and I out in his sleeping bag. The fire set a light peahen glow in his face. He looked so peaceful.

It had been a rough night. I woke up to the sun hitting my face. Armen was already awake with Mia and they were talking. He was smiling which was good. Hey laughed a little. "Morning sleepy head!" Mia said joyfully. They were up to something. Armen has this smile like he did something. I noticed something was on my arm. "AHHH WHAT THE.." I jumped as there was a snake staring at me. I throw it off.  Freaked out I glared at them. "Thad not funny! Armen Mia you two are in trouble don't think your getting away with this!" I shouted annoyed. "It was pretty funny! Mia said in between laughs. "Ok geez, dad." Armen laughed too.

Dad...

A memory flooded my mind.

-------flashback---------

"Daddy! Daddy!" Dylan came running into the living room. His blond hair getting long bounced as he ran to his father. "Hey there buddy! Man your getting big!" I picked him up as he ran into my arms. We proceeded to play until dinner time.

"Dinners done!" A lady with long flowing sandy blonde hair and stunning brown eyes called from the kitchen. We joined her. I have her a kiss before sitting down. "Daddy that gross!" Dylan giggled as made kissing faces. "I love you too honey." She smiled at me and brushed the hair out of her face. The room filled with googles from Dylan and my wife. Jenny. They both were laughing as they looked at me. We were a perfect family.

------flashback done---

I was snapped into reality with Armen and Mia staring at me weirdly. "Earth to Grayson ?!" Armen waved a hand in
my face. I teared up at the thought of my family. "Grayson? What's wrong."

"My family. A memory. Did you call me dad? Why?" I was stunned for some reason unsure of how to feel or react. I felt like I had been hit in the face with a brick. The emotional pain the memory brought hit me like a truck. I explained what happened and that I had a family before. They looked at me I guess feeling bad for bringing up memories of the past.

Time skip------

It had been a while. It was now afternoon. Drake still out. Armen was reading the journal again. He just didn't seem to believe it. Probably because he had just had a bunch of information hitting him at once. Mia was looking at a map. I heard fidgeting behind me. I noticed Drake moving. His eyes were still closed. He moved his left hand and mumbled something none of us could hear. He opened his eyes and didn't do anything for a second. He must of realized that he was somewhere else as he sat up and looked around. "Drake? Hey it's ok." I touched his arm. He flint he and turned his head to me. His Ender eyes still had a little it if a weird tint. He didn't looked directly at me.  He looked back up and looked over my shoulder. I looks behind me and Armen has stood up and looked at Drake. "What?" His looked in confusion.

"Hi Drake." Armen gave a weak smile. Tears came to both of their eyes. Armen came over and just hugged Drake who was still in shock and didn't know what to do. The look on his face said it all.

"A...Ar...Armen?" He stuttered his words.
