Dusk

Chapter 1

I wake up to a pool of blood but no body. I'm not sure where I am. Who I am for that matter. I stand up rubbing my head, it pounds like you wouldn't believe, i hope all this is temporary. I start walking out the scared doors, i see someone driving up. I hide behind a giant piece of a building,  he doesn't see me. He pulls over looks around for me, i don't look again, i sit there scared who this is, i peak over to see if he left and i don't see him, i feel someone grab my shoulders and says to me "Parker! Are you okay?! I've been looking everywhere for you! Are you okay?!", "Who's Parker and who are you? Where am my?" I say, "oh no, something must have happened to your memory, where's Trace?" He asks, " Who's trace?" I ask, "come on, follow me in your car." He says, " I have a car?" I ask, "It's that car over there." He says. I walk over to it and it starts to feel familiar, I get it and start it, music starts playing, I really like it. I follow that guy to what seems like the middle of nowhere. I keep following him and  when we get past these gates, an entire city is revealed! Where am I?! I park in a garage right by that guy. "What is this place?!" I ask, "just follow me." He says, I don't argue. We walk to a medical center. He guides me to the main lobby, he talks to a doctor and after they walk over to me and they take me to a room where they have me lay down. "We're going to give you more of the venom and see if it brings back your memory okay?" He says, "Wait venom? Isn't that bad?" I ask, no reply. He gets a needle and sticks it in my arm, the venom rushes through my veins! My heart pulsing rapidly. I can't control my limbs, the pain overtakes my body and all at once I'm out.

I wake up in the bed. I'm relieved to be able to remember everything, it bittersweet, on one hand I'm happy because I remember Neon and Brea, but on the other hand, It's hard to remember my grandparents and my past in general. Neon sitting by the bed his hands on his face, his face by his knees, I slowly sit up and tap his shoulder, his head raises. "Your awake. Thank god. How's your memory?" He asks, "it's back on track." I say, "good, so do you know what happened to Trace?" He asks, "let me think. We went into the old base and while we were down there the exact same thing happened to when I was in that nightmare, except instead of you lying dead on the ground...... It was Trace..... While I was laying there on the ground staring at him, I looked behind him and saw to figures, a man and a woman. I couldn't see who they were though. The man kicked me in the head and I was out, when I woke up, there was a pool of blood but no body or a memory,  probably from being kicked in the head. I don't know what happened to Trace though, he lost so much blood...." I say getting choked up. Neon remains silent. I brake the silence and say "We have to tell Drake.", "I'll plan a funeral. You get some rest until then, I'll tell Brea your hear." He says, "thank you." I say. Neon leaves and I'm left there with my thoughts. I almost come to tears, Trace,  he's gone, I can't believe it. I wipe a tear that escapes my eyes as Brea walks in. Her face close to tears, she rush to me and hugs me.  She kisses me and I kiss her back passionately. If felt like a life time I last saw her even though it was only last night. "Where were you! I was so worried!"she says, tears coming down her face , her hand clasped with mine. "Shh shh, it's ok, I'm ok." I say, I wipe her tears and she hugs me again. "Well where's Trace?" She says. In that moment I couldn't hold in the tears any longer. I bring her back into a hug and I whisper through the tears "He's, he's , he's dead.", she holds me tighter, I hear her start to cry, I hold her head on my chest as we both cry. "How?! It can't be!" She says. We sit there crying for maybe 15 minutes straight. Finally we stop and she sits on the my bed. "I'm dieing to get back to my room, can you help me?" I ask, "of course, come on." She says. She helps me up and we head back to our room. We take the subway and no one but us is on it, it's pretty late so I would understand why. We finally get off and we go up to the building and we head up the elevator and walk into the room. I fall on the couch and lay there for a moment, Brea starts to go to the bed and I whisper "Where are you going? " she walks back over to me and lays right beside me , where she should be. I fall asleep with her in my arms.
