Oblivion

Chapter 5

              Breaking News the General Hospital was attacked yesterday evening with patients and hospital staff inside. Killing over a hundred people and injuring around three hundred. Patients have been counted as missing including that of Serenity Gomez.

"Aye turn it off." Ian said walking into Xavier's office. Xavier shut off the TV and walked to the window watching as the ambulance and cops flooded past the office building and in the direction of the hospital. "They think it was a terrorist attack." Isiah said crossing his arms over his chest. "You think differently?" Carson stated. Before Isiah could answer Eli stormed in holding an old book. "It wasn't. Since we brought that girl to the hospital something has been bothering me. I looked into it and found that I knew her from somewhere. They were around in 400 B.C." Eli explained, Xavier turned running a hand through his hair. " 'Tis impossible. They died thousands of years ago." Carson scoffed rolling his eyes not saying anything. That's when Xavier put it together. "The Wanted Ones."                                                                                                             "You do realize what you're saying right? If they are who we think they are that means Draco is back." Isiah said. Xavier grabbed his coat walking out of the office everyone behind him.        "Listen we need to find them before Draco does or it's all over." Xavier said. Isiah nodded silently cursing to himself. "So it has started." Mason said throwing open the car door angrily.       "The war is on." Eli said.

            Serenity slowly woke up her head throbbing as the lights hit her eyes as if she were staring at the sun. She looked around her and saw she was in her bedroom. Voices sounded all through her house and doors were being opened and closed in a hurry as if someone was going through her things, searching for something. Serenity pushed herself up her heart beating against her sore ribs making it torture to breath let alone move. "Aaron it's impossible, she doesn't remember anything. Why is this happening again?" Jules said as serenity grabbed onto her bedroom wall moving into the hallway. "Juliette things are changing, her memory is resurfacing and he's found her, and you all. It's too late we need to get out of town as far away from here as possible." Aaron said stopping as a knock sounded on the door. Serenity swallowed hard afraid of whoever was on the other side of the door. "Who is that?" Avalon demanded coming from her bathroom holding a small suitcase. "It's probably Grayson." Serenity said wincing as she slowly walked to the door. "You should be resting Serenity." Jules said but Serenity ignored her and opened the door reveling a group of men. Serenity went to close the door but a hand stopped it. "Let us in Serenity," a deep voice said the rich silky sound of it washed over her as she slowly as she opened the door allowing the men in. "Who the hell are you?" Aaron demanded angrily. Serenity stood to the side her eyes focused on the ground her mind racing, dark thoughts filled her mind.

        She could hear screams that weren't there. Her feet began moving without her feeling as if she wasn't awake, like she was sleep walking, "Serenity." Avalon said her voice distance as she opened the balcony door, it was as if time stopped as she walked to the very edge of the balcony. She stared at the ground watching as people scrambled away from the on coming storm. A shadow stepped next to her, whispering to her, "Do it. Jump," and that's exactly what she did. The wind lashed at her pushing her hair over her face. Then it stopped strong arms circled around her. "Serenity." Avalon said touching her shoulder drawing her away from her thoughts. "Yeah?" Avalon knelt down beside her, how the hell had she ended up on the floor? Serenity wondered as her friend gently took her hands and held them. "We need to go." Serenity looked around her, "Where's the men?" Avalon took her face in her hands forcing her to look at her. "No one is here nor has been here. You're exhausted and need some rest." Serenity sighed softly her head aching as she nodded and allowed her friends to lead her out of the apartment. Where they were going she didn't know but she didn't care she was already drifting off to sleep.

                 "Why'd you lie to her?" Olivia asked as she put the car in park. Avalon sighed and placed her sun glasses on. "And tell her what, that she nearly killed herself and that Aaron jumped after her? That for years we've lied to her about her life? That wouldn't go over easy with anyone. Follow Aaron's car. We need to get to the airport."                                                                                              "What will we tell Serenity?" Scarlet asked in a soft whisper. "Nothing yet, the herbs Jules gave her should keep her unconscious through the plane ride. Afterwords we have no choice but to tell her the truth." Olivia said as they made their way towards the airport.
