I stare out the window as the sun shines brightly "It's not like we're missing much," Harper tells me with a shrug "It would be cooler if it was snowing." I smile at Harper "Yeah, but nothing's better than curling up and reading a good book while the sunlight shines through" I say with a laugh "You're really cheesy, (R/N), but I like you anyway!" Harper says, tossing me a book "Read this one! It's my favorite!" She says, sitting next to me and resting her head on my shoulder.

"It's too risky to have a child."
"I don't care, Five! I've always wanted to have a family with you!
"I want to have a family with you too, but it's too dangerous. We'll have to discuss this later....hand me the gun."

*click-BOOM!*

"(R/N)? What's wrong?" Harper asks. I look down to see her staring at me with a worried look "Sorry, I think I just remembered something, but it's all fuzzy..." I grumble. Harper frowns a little "Are we still gonna be friends when we find your family?" She asks sadly, I gasp dramatically "Of course we are! Not even the end of the world could keep me from you!" I tell her proudly. Harper smiles brightly "Good, now keep reading!" She cheers. I laugh and turn the next page before shivering "You cold?" Harper asks "I'm fine, I guess I just get chills a lot." I laugh awkwardly. Harper smiles brightly at me.

Harper's smile fades at the sounds of gunshots going through the wall "DUCK!" I scream before a bullet goes through my shoulder. "(R/N)!" Harper cries....

My eyes widen as I blink and quickly look around "Harper..." I whisper, placing her down on the couch "We need to run." "Huh?" Harper asks. I grab Harper's arm and pull her to the back of the house "(R/N), what are you-" Harper gets cut off by the sounds of gunshots. I pull her to the floor "What's going on?!" Harper whispers "I....I don't know..." I whisper "How'd you know that was gonna happen?!" Harper asks "I don't know that either...." I sigh "Well what do you know?" Harper asks nervously. "Those guys are bad guys.." I whisper as the front door swings open.

"Kom ut nummer åtta!"

"What did he say?" Harper asks "I don't know, but we need to get out of here...." I sigh, crawling towards the back door "Go ahead of me." Harper nods nervously before quietly opening the door. 

I flinch when the door creaks loudly as it opens "Jag hittade henne!" A voice shouts "Screw being quiet, just run!" I yell. Harper takes my hand as we run away from the house "Why is this happening? Who were those guys?" She asks sadly as we run "I think they might have something to do with my past....maybe they're apart of whatever this mark is!" I say. "Will we be able to go back?" Harper asks "I hope so..." I sigh.

~Time Skip~

My eyes widen when I hear Harper let out a gasp "What?!" I ask with a worried tone. "Calm down," She says, swinging her leg (She was on my back) "I know that barn!" I look up to see a barn not to far in the distance "That's where Mommy's friend, Sissy, lives!" Harper beams. A smile makes it's way to my face "Well any friend of Arizona's is a friend of ours. Maybe she can help us!" I say hopefully, Harper nods "Let's go!" She cheers.

Harper carefully hops off my back as I knock on the door "I got it!" I hear a voice call. My body tenses at the sound of it 'Why does she sound familiar....' The door opens and a lady stands in front of us "Oh, hello. May I help you two?" She asks softly "These guys came and attacked our house!" Harper yells, there were still dry tears on her face. "Is Sissy home? I think she's a friend of Arizona's." I tell the lady. She raises an eyebrow "You think?" She asks "Yeah, I'm new to the family..." I laugh awkwardly. "Harper?" Another voice asks "SISSY!" Harper cheers before running up to a her "Hey, what's wrong dear?" Sissy asks before giving me a questioning look "Who are you?" She asks.

"That's (R/N)," Harper say, running up to hug my leg "She lost her memory and Mommy took her in. Her name might not be (R/N), but it's what we call her." I wave at Sissy and the other lady awkwardly. Sissy laughs "Well what are the odds? Vanya here lost her memory too!" She says pointing to the lady. "Wouldn't it be cool if you knew each other but didn't remember!" Harper gasps, smiling widely "Heh, maybe..." I chuckle, messing with her hair. "Would you like some coffee?" Sissy asks Harper "Yeah!" She cheers. 

Vanya flashes me a confused look "What type of 4 year old likes coffee?" She asks "Harper's different." I say proudly, Vanya laughs before frowning "Do you think we know each other?" Vanya asks. I shrug "I honestly don't know," I sigh "Honestly, I think it'd be better for you if you didn't know me." Vanya looks concerned 

"What do you mean?"
"I think that those guys were looking for me..."
"But why?"
"I think it has something to do with this." 

I show Vanya the tattoo and she gasps "Who let's a kid get a tattoo?" Vanya asks with a disappointed tone. "Every time I get close to remember anything, I get too scared too and I go right back to square," I sigh "What if I don't like who I am?" "I ask myself that everyday." Vanya says sadly. We smile at each other "I hope that we do know each other." I giggle "Me too." Vanya beams...


~Flashback~3rd Person~

(Y/N) quietly walks through the hallways of the academy with a nervous look. 

"What are you doing out here, Miss (Y/N)?"

She gasps and quickly turns around "Don't scare me like that!" (Y/N) sighs at the sight of Pogo. He lets out a soft chuckle "Sorry, Miss (Y/N), but you haven't answered my question." He says sternly "I'm going to see Vanya," (Y/N) says "It's unfair that we always exclude her." Pogo nods a little "You know your sister is unwell-" "Then why should she be sick and lonely?" (Y/N) asks sadly. Pogo sighs "Go ahead, (Y/N). I will not tell your father about this." He says with a smile, (Y/N) smiles widely before running to hug Pogo "Thank you Pogo," She says 

"I'll never forget this."
