Dinosaur King: Out of time and space

Chapter 10 I... Remember

"Dark, you're finally smiling," Sabi said. "Yeah... I... Because you're the kindest people I... know..." "And what about your family?" Niki asked. Dark covered her ears.

"Please, no!"

"Dark, what's up?"

"Chill out, little lady!"

"No! Stop!" "Dark...?" Sabi came to scared and trembling Dark. "Dark, calm down. I'm here..." Dark snapped out of that. She looked at Sabi, crying. "Dark, you're okay?" "Hermana!" Dark hugged Sabi.

"What the..." "Can't you shut up?" Sue snapped at Andy.

"Hermana... I..." "Dark, everything's gonna be all right," Sabi assured her. "Lo siento..." Dark let her go and wiped her eyes.

"Lo siento... But I... don't have a family..." "What?!" "I... have only my brother, he's part of Akuno. And my 'parents'... I'd... rather not talk about it..." Dark covered her right eye crossed with a scar.

"Dark, you can stay in my house," Sabi said. "Really?" "Yeah, my parents won't mind since you saved my sister." "Muchas gracias..."

"I'm sure they'll be okay even with Ace." Sabi noticed that Ace scratched his forehead. "He's doing it again," she told the other.

"What is he doing?" Justin wondered.

"Scratching his forehead..."

"Forehead?" Sue repeated, "wait, in Germany... Zoe, didn't you take photos of something in his head when I fought him?" "Yeah, I totally forgot about it after we went shopping," Zoe answered. "Something on his head?" Max wondered.

"I'll check the photos and try to figure it out," Reese spoke up, "and create two new communicators of course."

"I... don't want to bother you, Mrs. Ree-" "Dark, I feel too old when you call me like that. Call me just Reese, okay?" "Si... Lo siento, M-Reese... I... May I... have a communicator too? I... don't have my own phone and if Mary or-" "Slow down a little bit. Don't worry, I'll make it for you.

Kons' house

When Sabi and Dark got home, Dark was still so shy, but she needed it. First up she took a shower, Sabi waited for her in her room. Then Sabi gave her some of her clothes to change it.

Dark was so modest with everything except food. It looked like she would have eaten anything, she hasn't eaten for days maybe weeks. Sabi was just happy to see that because Dark was so slim and short for her age, but still taller than Justin. Sabi just laughed.

"Why are you laughing...?" Dark asked after she finished her meal and went into Sabi's room. "It's just... The way you eat reminds me of the times I used to go to the North School. Max eats the same," Sabi answered. Ace made a sound. "Ace says that Chomp would eat anything too," Dark told her. "So, you really understand them?" "In some way... I... don't know how or why... But I... feel some kind of connection with them... Why did you leave the North School?"

"Because the South School it's a better school for my future. I'm not sure... Everyone says I'm one of the smartest, but I don't wanna be... But I'm glad I go there... I met Andy, Kenji, and Dengyo." "Well, Kenji is..." "I know. But he's a good guy."

The hospital, next day, 05:00

Kyra and Reese went to wake up Zoe. She was sitting next to Max's bed, her head lying on it, she was holding Max's hand. She was sleeping just like Max and their dinos. Kyra shook with Zoe a little bit.
