Incomplete past

The next morning Jake got out of bed well rested, had a short breakfast and then put on some loose clothes that still make him look pretty good. He grabbed his packed designer backpack and made his way to the airport.

Jake took a taxi which took him to the airport in no time. While driving Jake watched the city and he found the hustle and bustle that prevailed quite impressive.

When he arrived at the airport, he went to check-in. He only had to wait briefly in a row to be let through. Jake had to wait an hour for his shuttle, but since he had a first class ticket, he was able to make use of the good service in the lounge.

When it was finally time for Jake to check in, he set off. The shuttle in which he got on was one of the larger ones, despite that almost every seat was occupied. This was because this shuttle only flies to the next space station and you have to change space shuttles from there, but you can go to almost any planet.

Since Jake lived on one of the poorest planets so far, there weren't very many who could afford to fly in the first class of a shuttle, so besides Jake there were almost only business people who had done their business here on the planet.

The flight to the space station went great and without any problems, so that Jake arrived at the station after a very short time. He followed the signs to go to his new shuttle, which should take him to the main planet, namely the planet Alpha. The space station was incredibly modern and there were highly complex technical machines in use everywhere, so Jake walked slower and slower because he would like to look at every machine in detail.

Just as he was about to move on, Jake suddenly bumped into a man. The man spilled his coffee on his new suit and you could see his anger on his face. The man was about to yell at Jake, if the guards weren't everywhere, he would probably hit Jake another blow. But when he turned and looked at Jake, his face suddenly went pale.

The man started to stutter and just managed to say, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean it, please spare me."

And with that he quickly grabbed his things and disappeared back into the crowd.

Jake was completely confused by the whole incident, because he actually wanted to apologize to the man and hadn't expected that he would do this to him instead. Leaving the incident aside, his way to the shuttle went well.

When we finally arrived at the shuttle, boarding began. Since the space station is mostly only used by people who live on the somewhat poorer planets, its shuttle is almost completely empty. Since the flight will take a little longer, Jake made himself comfortable in his comfortable leather seat and enjoyed the flight.

Since he hadn't had time for it before and the system had already issued him the reward, Jake had forgotten to look for his family name. So he put his family name "Whitton" in the search bar and looked at the results. The first results were all just advertisements or phone book entries, but as he scrolled down a bit, he came across a very interesting and promising article.

He read it through and was shocked.

[Massacre in the great Whitton clan.]

[According to the latest information, a massacre took place late in the evening at the family reunion of the Whitton clan. Allegedly all members were brutally stabbed.

There is one exception, however, and that is the ten-year-old son of the clan leader who, according to the investigators, could not have committed such an act, but everything points to him, as the weapon was also in his hands when he was smeared with blood and passed out was found.]

Jake was stunned. He supposedly killed his entire clan? He could not believe it.

Just as he was about to close the newspaper report a message from his system appeared before him.

[Do you want to unlock part of your memories?]

Of course he wanted to know something about his past and, best of all, whether he really is the murderer of his family, so he decided on yes.

As soon as he decided yes, everything around him went dark. When he opened his eyes he was in a different place. He was sitting at a large round table with many other people he did not know. The room was very large and old fashioned but very luxuriously furnished. The large table in the middle of the room was carved from dark wood and the light light that shone on the table from the few windows made it look even more elegant.

Next to Jake sat a tall and muscular man with a voluminous beard. He looked at Jake too and began to stroke his head. Jake wanted to move away, but he had no control over his body, he was just a spectator. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the room and everyone was chatting relaxed with the person sitting next to them.

Everything changed suddenly when the large front door kicked open and two men entered the room. They brutally threw the guards in front of the door aside and strolled comfortably into the middle of the room.

Everyone who was sitting relaxed at the table before now stood with his weapon in hand. The two men wore long black coats and covered their faces with their oversized hoods. The only thing Jake could tell about them were their bloodshot red eyes, which immediately gave him a feeling of fear when he looked into them.

The man sitting next to Jake told him to run away and Jake tried that too. Jake ran across the room while the two men behind him fought the others. Jake could see one by one go down with a loud scream. He was about to disappear through the door when something hard hit him on the back of the head and he fell to the ground.

Everything went black around him again and he was dragged out of his memories.
