Memories

At Charlie's, everyone were shocked by the sudden behaviour of Noah.

Tia,John, Jessy, Lilia, and Charlie..

Lilia was Charlie's twin sister, they were both blonds, having pure blonds genes,

and green emerald eyes, and they were all sitting at the living room, Noah was kinda flustered from what happened before, he apologized to Aria many times,

John and Aria were discussing with Charlie and his gang, the ability of being alyes in the next coming tournament, the problem about that tournament is that the gangs participants are quit strong, and Charlie's team wasn't exactly that strong, so he needed help from one of the strongest families in town.

Lilia was a friend of Aria, but the relation between her an John is a little more complicated, you see Aria wasn't a Dickens after all...

"I have my reasons, but I really need to win this..besides we kept our part of the deal with made once before.."

" okay, we will do our best to help you" John said.

"I just need her to be with us at the day of the fight.." and by her he obviously speaking about Aria,

John didn't like the fact that she'll have to work with them, but he agreed on the condition that he's gonna be there to keep an eye on her.

"Alright then, we have a deal, another one clearly.It's late, Aria we should go".

" yes, let's go". Aria was walking behind John in the hallway, suddenly, the lights went off, then, she felt something gabbing her from behind, pulling her to him, and kissing her.

It was dark, so she really couldn't see his face, but I guess it was clear enough, she could tell from that gorgeous smell of his, it was always the same perfume,the same strong arms around her, strongly holding her to him, and she didn't gave in because of his strength, it's the sensation that has been gone for a long time , so that's what our heroine did, She Kissed him back.

"It was the same body, but it wasn't the same person" that's what she thought.

The lights went back, Aria and John has already left, everyone were still in the living room except for Noah.

he heading home, after what happened..

"Where is Noah" Tia asked.

"I don't know, wasn't he sitting here just a minute ago... Oh my god" Charlie hit his front with his hand.

"but.. about earlier, I actually thought he remembers, I mean he held Aria without a notice.. what was that?" those were lilia words,

"No, he doesn't, and most importantly he shouldn't, not yet, not before we take care of everything.. if he remembered now, that would be a disaster, but I guess a part of him will always yearn for her... anyway, I'll follow him, he probably went home already"

So Charlie followed Noah to where he lives, because he was worried about him.

Meanwhile, Noah arrived home, Katty who couldn't sleep because of her thoughts about him, heard his foot steps , so she went out in her pajamas , and there he was, her beloved Noah was in front the door,,,

"what happens to you, are you okay?" she asked him

"I'm fine... you should come back home, its late"

"okay, but..you said you were gonna spend the night there, you could at least tell me what happened.."

"nothing happened" Noah said that with a cold expression on his face that Katty felt like the earth will swallow her at that specific moment, Noah wasn't Noah.

she went to her room closed the door and cried her heart out, she did saw him like that before , but that was a long time ago, she never thought that he'll behave that way again, especially with his current nice personality, things are getting complicated for her, after she has finally thought that they are getting closer, but katty honey what's not yours is not Yours.

A few minutes after that, Charlie got to Noah's, when he inters he didn't find Noah at home,

so he headed to the Yard directly , and there he was, sitting on chair, in the dark, it was cold and about to rain, Charlie sat next to Noah in total silence.

"why Charlie was determined on having her with us for the tournament.. what I mean is we may not be as strong as a few groups but we are good enough.." Tia was asking Lilia because she was curious about the new girl, the allynesse with John is good for them, but he has soma many strong and famous fighters like Jack or Kyle...

Tia calmly answered Tia while she was sipping coffee : "it's because u have never seen fight, you can't understand, until you do.. Aria for us it's not just a fighter with a regular level... she's one of the greatest fighters ever, from the level 1 to 110 she's an 80 and I bet you guys have never seen a fighter above the ranking 18 .

Tia and Jessy looked at each other in the same time" 80..you say .."

Jessy said : " I didn't even know there was above the level 20.."

" Neither did I " Tia added.

"Well, there are strong people in this world, once you'll never see or heard of, and our town hold a lot of secrets, the warriors with the high ranking never show themselves, to be honest , it's so rare to even see or find one, and even if you see them in front of you would never know, the mostly act weak and hide there real level, for example If you asked Cisi for her level she would say 12 .."

"Ha !!?, but why.." Tia confusingly asked

" Because of the eval, in this world, those who have power got hunted by those whom seeking it..and it was going on for a very long time, well those who hasn't been hunted yet have yo be carful with their acts.. and Charlie things that some of those people will appear at the tournament, that's why he needs a very strong back up.."

" Haha, sounds interesting, Now, I want to see her fight...that Aria..." said Jessy who got curious about the high level warriors, and Now he wants to see Aria fight...

"Our dear town got corrupted to the point that we only breath poison, be carful Aria, If the elders knew what you're up to, everything will fall apart."

"I know John, I know..."

It started the spray in town,. at the park where Noah and Charlie were sitting,

" We should go back, Now.." Charlie said to Noah who was immersed in his thoughts,

"Charlie, you know, before I met you,I have been getting letters from my parents for a while now.."

"wait, what.. your parents !!? I didn't know that..."

" That not everything, not for a long time I visited them, no one was home, I asked the neighbors in that village, an old man was living alone made sur to me that these to were death for a long time, and they don't even have kids , two married people were killed in the arson almost two years ago, and they say that the woman was pregnant.."

After that day, Noah didn't receive any letters anymore, it was weird and confusing..

"If my parents are not my parents, and I received letters from death people who aren't my parents...then who the hell am I..!?,

I was depressed and lost, but I didn't want to think about it since the only lead I had was the letters which stopped arriving, then I really have nothing,,

after that you showed up, you were so shiny and lively , when you asked me to hangout with you and the guys, I started to feel a sense of belonging, but the day that girl showed up, she felt like Home,

I felt the pain ripping me off when she left, but it doesn't make any sense I've only seen her twice , how is it possible to miss someone you have only met twice this much that you want to die..."

"Maybe, it wasn't the first time you see her.."

" What's that mean, you think I knew her before...?"

" You just said that you don't know who you are, if there is a possibility that you did meet her before...then maybe you did, besides we're gonna get sick if we stayed in the rain, let's go."

"I don't wanna go home, Charlie" Noah said that using his poppy face on Charlie who got angry..

"If I got sick because of you, you jerk, I will kill you..." said Charlie who was actually embarrassed and blushing from Noah's joke,

"Alright, Cute Lady Charlie let's go home"

"who's the lady, idiot.."

" you are "

"I'm a gangster leader asshole"

"A gangster leader who's afraid of getting sick because of some rain "

Noah and Charlie such a good friends , they went home together, making fun of each other and laughing so loud, looking happy but no one knows what's in someone's heart , do they ?

The tournament is one week away, a lot of gangsters are in, and maybe something unexpected will happen,

At this time, Katty was cooking something to seduce Noah.
