Chapter 15: Remembering A little bit at a time

We finally get home, then they send me someplace called the infirmary. "We got Raven." Said Zoro. A nurse came running and looked at me. "Oh goodness. You really are back! Let's look at you to see if you are working properly." The boys were courteous and walked out so she could check on her.

"Oh crap. Tomorrow is starting visiting week. I better get back to elder have him call her family if he hasn't already. I'm sure he has though." "Yeah you do that bro. I gotta get back to work." "Oh thanks again bro." "Yeah sure."

"Well other than this bump on your head, and this wound you looked like you had you seem fine." "Speaking of the wound. Was there someone else with me? I was told someone stopped my bleeding when those people found me." "I'm not sure I'm the one to tell you that. You should ask Zoro he might know more." "Thank you miss." "Yes sure." I was finally free to go, and Zoro was there waiting for me.

"Well looks like you got a clean bill of health for them to let you go." "Yeah I did. Other than the bump on my head and my gunshot wound I'm fine." "Wait you got a gunshot wound? Mind if I see it?" "Its just on my side so yeah." She lifted her shirt a little to show her. "Well you definitely would have died if it was right there. Good thing whoever it was stopped your wound from bleeding." "I was going to ask you. Do you know who it was that would have done it or left me there?" "Uh I have to talk to the elder first. In face that is where we are headed right now." "Thank you Zoro." "Sure Raven." Zoro said as he smiled at her. "Oh and tomorrow is visiting week. Its where people from home friends family can stay here for the week and spend time with them. You should have a couple people coming that would be happy to see you alive and well." "I hope I can remember them." "Yeah you better."

"Elder we are here." "Oh good. Bring her to my office. I will be there in just a second." "Yes sir." Said Zoro. We headed to the elder's office and sat down.

"I feel like I've been sent to the principals office." "Haha Yeah so does everyone who comes in here for the first time. Sometimes it is for that reason." Then the man who I assumed was the elder walked in. "Hello Raven. I'm so glad you were found alive. How are you feeling?" "Can't complain I guess." I was clinging onto the sculptures I had been given. One from Zyler, the other from another person I can't remember. "If there is anything you wish to tell me just let me know ok?" Then Zoro spoke up. "Actual there is sir. She wants to know who it was that was with her." "Ah yes that. I can tell you. His name was Tony. He has been missing as long as you have. He still hasn't been found." "Oh I hope he is ok." "I'm sure he is. Lets see ok. It seems like its close to lunch time. Zoro would you show her around and reintroduce her to things again?" "Yes sir." "Ok then. If you need anything just let me know ok?" "Yes sir." So we left for the lunchroom.

"Ok here is the lunch room. I'll get your lunch. You see that girl with the black tanktop and purple hair? That is your roommate Nikita. Go get reintroduced while I get your lunch." "Ok thankyou." He nodded and I went toward the girl named Nikita.

"H-hello Nikita. Zoro told me your name." "Oh Raven! Thank God your ok!" She gave me a surprise hug and made me jump a little. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. How are you feeling?" "Ok I guess." "So you were saying Zoro told you my name?" "Yeah he did. I sort of have a little Amnesia. I hit my head before I was found I guess. I still have the bump. I also apparently got shot but its healed. Its just still pretty red. I'll show you when I get back to the room if you want too?" "Yeah sure." Zoro finally came back to the table with my lunch. "Here you go Raven. Enjoy your food." "Thanks Zoro." Then Zoro said, "Ok well I'll be waiting outside by the door to show you around some more, ok?" I nodded. So he left and waited for me to finish up.

"So do we have the same activities and stuff?" "Yeah we are pretty much like sisters. We are the same age." "Well since we have the same activities, why don't we hang out together while Zoro is showing me around?" "If its ok with Zoro than sure that be cool." "Oh I heard tomorrow is Visiting week. Is there someone you have that comes to visit?" "Yeah the only family I have. My parents died when I was little. Its my big brother Dimitri." "Oh I'm sorry." "Hey its fine. I've never told you so your ok."

I finally finished eating, and I walked over to Zoro with Nikita. "Hey Zoro? Can Nikita come with us for you to show me around?" "I don't see why not. There is not any other activities for now." "Ok cool." So we followed Zoro.

"Here is where you usually do class for learning to control your dragon urges. You do a textbook version and you usually show off. This is the time you would normally do yours. You had reasons for doing private lessons." "Oh I have an idea what that was. I think I saw it in my dream." "Oh its your teacher Mrs. Shepard. Yo Mrs. Shepard." "Oh hey Zoro. Raven! Good to see you alive and well." "Well sort of." I said. "Definitely the alive part though." "Well in about a week you will be coming back. Can't wait to have you again." "Yeah me too." I said in a daze. Then we walked away.

"Ok kiddo's this is usually where you get the day off. Nikita, you can show her to the dojo tomorrow ok?" "Yes sir ."

We were heading towards the dorms, when I had a headache. "Ahh. My head. Zoro Nikita Help me somebody help me." Then she collapsed to the ground from pain. "Zoro!" Luckily Zoro wasn't far. He looked over to wear he heard the yelling and saw Raven. "Raven! Hey Raven! Talk to me! Please open your eyes!" She slowly opened her eyes and said, "I know your faces. Zoro and Nikita. How could I have forgotten you? Ahh." "Hang on Raven. I'll carry you to your room. I have some medicine for your headaches." I was so much in pain I was clutching my sculptures tight. "Ok here we are. Nikita help me hold her up." Nikita helped and I drank a nasty medicine. Nikita we need to keep an eye on her ok? At least until that bump on her head is gone." "Yes sir." "Try to get some sleep Raven. I'll see you tomorrow." I nodded then fell asleep.

Finally it was the day for people visiting. People wouldn't start showing up until dark. We had our breakfast, then we headed towards the dojo. "Why do they have to train this early? Can't they do it later?" "Ha you said that before Raven. Remember?" I stopped for a minute and closed my eyes. Then she stopped as well. "I remember now. I did that's when I first met Zoro. Also when you first excepted me. I can't remember why though." "Oh I'm sure you will find out when we get there."

They finally got to the Dojo where They usually met before the field. "Ok everyone. Lets not make a big fuss, but Raven is back. Lets now crowd her please." I walked in and looked at everybody. I was looking at them trying to see if I can see anyone I would have maybe spared with. "Ok Everyone. Time for Roll call." He went all the way down until he got to Ravens name. "Raven." "Here." "Ok then that's everyone lets go train." Then we headed out.

"Ok today we are going to be in pairs. Since Raven is back if she wants to she can sparr with Nikita. If she wants to wait for a few days that's fine too." "I-I'll do it." "Ok then. Nikita and Raven go ahead. Everyone else spar with your partners." So they did just that.

Finally class was over and Zoro called Raven over. "Hey Raven come here a minute." "Yes sir." "Hey how you doing our first day back?" "Great. If it wasn't for this damn bump on my head or memory loss I would be fine. I can't believe I was a wuss before I'm embarrassed." "Hey its all good. When someone if found with no memories you would expect them to be scared. I'm glad your doing ok." Next we had dragon class. That went normal.

A few hours went by and it was time for visitors started showing up. Nikita and I waited for our visitors. Zoro said, "Hey mind if I wait with you girls? I want to see the people that are waiting for you back home." "Yeah sure." I said. "Ok cool."

After awhile, I saw two people that must have known me because they called my name. "Raven!" "Hey Raven!" Not long Nikita's brother came by. "Hey Nikita. Good to see you again little sis." He gave his sis a hug then ruffles her hair. "Brother!" Then we all laughed. "So Raven do you remember us? We heard from the elder. How are you feeling?" "Oh better on the emotional after sparring practice. I felt embarrassed after being a wuss. Zoro told me that anyone in my situation would be a little scared." "Yeah that is true. They would." Said Koa. "So as to your first question as to weather or not I remember you, the answer is no. I'm sorry I don't. I do have this though." I showed them the Raven I held onto. "If any of you know who made this, please tell me." "Uh I made that Raven. Let me reintroduce myself. I am Koa. I'm your boyfriend. This is your brother Jason." "I wish I can remember you both. I just can't. The first thing I remembered was a castle. You and Koa were there with a lot of other people. Then I saw a dragon attack a couple people trying to keep it from attacking you Jason. Was that me? Is that why I am here?" "Yes Raven. That is why you are here." Said Jason. "Your Zoro right sir?" Said Koa. Thankyou for looking out for my girlfriend here." "Oh its my pleasure. Her and Nikita here are my best students." Well I'll let you both go your separate ways and hang out I got things to do." "Thank you Zoro." "Sure Raven." So Nikita and Raven went their separate ways.
