Unordinary Girls Book 1: Crystal Hearts

Chapter 14: Memories are the Worse Kind of Pain

After we let go of each other from hugging.

"Hey, are you alright, Neon?" Kori asked.

"Yeah, but this is going to sound weird but when we were hugging. I saw something I thought was a vision. It was a vision of the future, we were adults and we had kids. It was really sweet, we all looked happy and the kids looked like they didn't have a care in the world. It was beautiful I wish you guys could have seen it." I couldn't believe at this moment, how passionate I was talking about my vision. It was really beautiful, it was like we had a chance, maybe it was a world where we can live in peace.

"Actually, Neon, that doesn't sound weird at all. It actually gives me hope that one day, all this evil in this world will be stopped." Yuki said.

"Yuki's right, Neon there is still hope and we can't give up," Kira added.

"Sometimes relying on hope is all we can do during the darkest of times. Neon your vision is of a future that we can achieve as long as we have faith and hope within each other." Kori said, but I couldn't help but smile. Now, I'm starting to understand what's important to me. Keeping something like that alive is important to me. Having my friends in my life is what matters to me. I guess this world isn't as bad as I once thought, I just have to keep the darkness away.

"Neon are you smiling?!" Kira said half-shocked and excited.

"Maybe I am." I could see her eyes light up, and she tackled me with another hug. I really was lucky.

"This is amazing!" Kira said in excitement, Yuki and Kori couldn't help but laugh at us. For once we were letting ourselves be kids, something I think we have been missing lately.

"I think these visions are a good thing, seeing the future and it might be really hopeful," Kori said, his expression on his face was different, it was lighter.

"It is hopeful, but we all have to do what we can to make sure this future can happen." I need to make sure this happens, with seeing the future can be unpredictable due to the fact the future could change with our future actions. None of us needed to say it to know that it could change.

"I know, Himeko scolded us last time for doing this, but I think we need to get some serious training done. We all need to get stronger before we can face anything else." Kori said, I never thought that he would say something like that. Kori has always seemed a rule-follower type of guy despite his ill feelings for Himeko.

"I'm with Kori, I-we need to get stronger." Kira...please don't push yourself. She wasn't wrong. We all need to get stronger, hopefully, I can control my powers. No, I have to learn how to control them for the sake of everyone.

"We promise we won't put you through what you went through last time," Yuki said, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks, guys, I think we shouldn't rush into this like last time." They all agreed with me. This will buy some time for Himeko, while she figures out what to do with everything that's going on. I can't get this feeling that Himeko isn't telling the whole truth when it comes to everything. It's just that I feel like ever since Kira and I talked to Himeko and Ryuu about my parents and their deaths. She knew something about their deaths and she wouldn't tell, saying that I wouldn't be able to handle it. I just wish I would just tell us already if I have survived without them this along and for the past six years living with Yoshio and Fujioka they themselves are murders. Maybe learning about whatever Himeko is hiding dealing with their deaths, might trigger my memories back of my life before I met Kira.

There are very few things that I remember from that time. I remember my parents and most memories from that time. I remember when I first started going to the spirit world and seeing spirits, but there are other events I knew happened but I don't exactly remember. Being a normal kid was something I don't even remember. I can't even remember the events of my parent's death properly. I remember the way they die and someone coming for me, but that's it. I don't even remember if I went to school or not, I don't even know if I had any friends before then. I don't remember the life I had before I moved to Oshima and met Kira. If my parents erased my memories from then why did they do it? If it was someone else, why would they do it? Nothing adds up and for some reason, no one will tell me anything about it. I think the worst part of all of this, is that I can't even remember my parents teaching me how to use my powers.
