Darkness, Disease, & Dynamics (Last Book of The Black Chronicles)

Prologue

     For one year she waited...

     For one year she was left alone...

     For one year she stared at their unconscious bodies...

     After that year...

     They started waking up...

     Eyes opening. Vision returning. Memories coming back slowly. Senses sharpening. Heart beating repeatedly fast.

     Her eyes zoomed through the doors in front of her, deciding which door to go in first. The fast beeping of heart monitors were like connected to speakers. She was so confused. The beeping made her head spin.

     Her friends were finally waking up. After a year of waiting, they were finally waking up. They can continue on doing their missions just like before. For a moment she was happy. Her heart lept out in joy as she thought of her friends finally waking up.

     Doctors and nurses rushed towards each of the eight rooms. She doesn't know what room to go in. But for sure, the nurses won't allow her inside.

     She waited for the main doctor to report. The doctor came out and she rushed to get the report.

"Doctor, are they okay?" TJ asked in worry.

The doctor gave her a grim expression,"They are fine for now but the vitalsare very irregular. Yet, they aren't showing any response that makes the vitals true."

"So?" TJ said as if she doesn't understand.

"We'll have to look out to their states further. We'll see if they are capable to be checked out." the Doctor said.

"May I see them?" TJ asked.

"No you may not" The Doctor said.

"What? How come?" she asked in confusion.

"For the parents of your friends forbade me to allow any visitors especially, you." the Doctor said.

"What?!" TJ said in shock. "Why?!"

"That is all," the Doctor said and left.

     A few minutes later, the parents of each of her friends came in one by one. They threw the evil eye at her as they passed by, going inside their daughters' respective room.

     TJ waited there, sitting on that same spot, not even moving an inch. She was cut off at the middle of her unrelated thoughts. She looked up to see the person she despised the most. The King of the Dones Empire. The murderer of her family. Roy Dones.

"Long time no see Troy," Roy said with fake respect.

"What are you doing here, caring for your 'daughter' Roy?" TJ asked as she spat it out bitterly.

"Hmm, just like your father."

"The father you murdered." She said, a dark aura forming in her.

"Oh, thats the past. Forgive forget right?" Roy said as he paced in front of her.

"Whats the matter with your 'daughter'?" TJ said, aura enlargening once more.

"Well, there is a problem that would be hard to accept." He said as he sat beside her, feeling her dark aura but not minding it.

"What is the problem?" TJ asked, her dark aura, threatening to engulf the murderer.

"All of them, " Roy said, a smirk peeking through yet not noticed by her.

"All?" TJ asked in confusion.

"Amnesia,"

     Everything became slow-mo. His voice became low as if she entered another dimension. Amnesia? What in freaking Poseidon's underpants is he talking about?!

TJ chuckled nervously, "A-all?"

"All," He confirmed.

"Y-you c-can't be s-serious," TJ stuttered out.

"If you don't want to believe me, it is alright." Roy said. "But, you have been forbidden."

"Forbidden to do what?" TJ asked in nervousness.

"Visit, contact, see, or touch our children." Gino Pabilona, the King to the Pabilona Clan, father of Gelo Pabilona, said.

"What?! Why?!" TJ asked in anger and confusion.

"Because they can't remember you or any of your friends. " Peter Tulod, King to the Tulod Empire, Father to Paul Tulod, said.

"Its better to bring them farther away from all those part of your 'squad'," John Magallanes, King of the Magallanes Empire, dad of James Magallanes, said.

"That means, the group you've formed is now disbanded," Noah Pacat, King to the Pacat Empire, father to Nathan Pacat, said.

Disbanded?
