Don't I Know You? Don't You Remember?

~Shika~

She was dead.

I saw it.

I saw her body. I saw her blood. I saw her sweet caring face all lifeless. She was dead.

But how...?

"... Mother... Rachel...?"

"Huh? Hey! Don't I... know you from somewhere?" The lady asked, leaning in close and narrowing her eyes.

"Little Shika!" She exclaimed, "My oh my, how you've grown!"

She rambled on for two minutes but I wasn't listening, still too shocked to believe what I was seeing.

"I thought you died..." I whispered.

"What? No!" She laughed out, "I told Rachel I was going to live in No Man's Mountain. Of course it was dangerous and foolish to think I'd make it, but you're mum helped me out."

"She did?" I was feeling more confused than shocked at the moment.

Damned mood swings.

"Yeah! I used to visit you guys back in Norrham! I even have some of your mum's stuff. Here follow me!"

I didn't have a say as I was pulled down the halls, going past and through a number of turns while the lady kept going on about how this place was founded.

But I wasn't really paying attention.

"Darcy?"

We both turned around to the new voice, "Huh?"

"What are you doing? You were supposed to be in the west wing?"

The lady pulling my hand playfully rolled her eyes and face palmed herself.

"Hello!" She knocked her forehead, "I completely forgot!"

"We can see that." The rest of us said.

"Sorry Rick, I just got so excited when I realized that she's Luna and Marco's daughter."

"West wing." Rick said impatiently and Darcy jumped.

"Yes Rick."

Just like that, she was gone. I finally put my full attention on 'Rick'. He looked middle aged, medium hight with raven hair. Square jaw and kind, grey eyes.

"Sorry about that," he said, "Ever since her sister's death, we've needed to keep her busy to prevent her from having emotional breakdowns."

I looked at him, "Her sister? ...Mother Rachel?"

He seemed to be hit by a sudden realisation as he turned and faced me fully.

"Sorry about that... The name's Rick."

"Shika."

"Figured you'd look more like your dad when I heard Cameron was bringing you over, but in a way, you look like Luna."

I felt myself scowl, "Cameron? How is he even related to anything?"

He started walking and I followed him.

"He's he one who thought it was best to bring you here for recovery."

"Why?"

"Because this is where your dad brought him for recovery."

My eyes widened.

"Cameron came here? For recovery?"

"Mm hm."
