chapter 8

???'s pov, "if you don't stop him he will go on a rampage throughout the town..." I said, and if that happens I'll be forced to do something..."

with surprisingly fast movement a blade appeared out of nowhere and pressed against my throat, I usually would kill someone for doing something like this but I didn't, I felt that if I kill him now the one I'm watching will hunt me down.

and I don't want to destroy such an interesting creature.

I handed him the bag filled with my blood and disappeared from his view.

I watched from the distance as Jake ripped apart the hunters.

"interesting..." I said with a smile.

"that he is..." the scenery around me changed, as if everything was frozen in place and revealed a tall woman wearing a cloak.

"Ugh, what do you want?" I asked the cloaked woman.

"nothing at the moment..." the woman replied with a grin, just wanted to check in..."

"in that case, everything is fine." I stated with a annoyed look, "you can leave now."

"quite the mouth you've got, is that how you talk to someone above you?" she sighed.

"your the one who came to me about this." I countered.

"whatever, I got to see what I wanted, I'll be in touch..." she said as she disappeared.

the scenery turned back to normal, and everything unfroze.

everything continued to unfold, once they left, I stood up and stretched.

"the blood should last him a while if he's careful..." I said.

"I guess I got to go back now..." I muttered.

"boring..." I muttered under my breath.

Jake's pov, "so um, what's with the IV?" I questioned trying to change the subject.

"do you remember two years ago yet?" Sam countered with a question.

trying to rack my brain for memories of two years ago buy everything felt 'fake' like all of my memories where fabricated.

suddenly a sharp pain shot through my head.

my head felt like it was splitting in two.

"Ugh I-I don't k-know..." I whined through gritted teath.

memories of two different people started to flood my mind, the memories switched between being on a operation table with needles, an IV, and an old man with a big smile slowly cutting my body open.

the other is my family, they where all smiles and sunshine, when I looked at my mother her appearance shifted to another woman with white hair and red eyes.

when I stared into the woman's eyes I was flooded with multiple emotions.

pain.

sadness.

happiness.

love.

and rage.

all of a sudden I was pulled into another memory.

the scenery around me changed, from the house I called home to a snowy tundra.

as if magic, a body of a child appeared,

he seemed to be around eight years old, long raven colored hair with a braid on the left side, deep azure colored eye's.

"it's me?" I questioned.

"Ren come on, foods ready!" a woman's voice called out.

"Ren, who's Ren?" I asked looking over to where the voice came from.

feeling the sharp pain return I placed my hand over my left eye.

my supposed younger self ran towards the woman's voice, and I followed.

after the short walk the snow cleared revealing the the ground.

"ah there you are..." the woman said suddenly, "what took ya so damn long?"

I looked over towards her and my eyes widened in shock.

it was the woman I keep seeing in my head.

long white hair that reached her waist, bright red eyes that gleamed with life, and I could see defined muscles underneath her clothes, with a natural light tan.

"I didn't take that long mother..." my younger self pouted.

"mother?" I questioned in disbelief.

I looked back up at her, she had a sweet smile and I felt an unexplained comforting feeling from it.

my mother?" I repeated in a low voice.

suddenly the world turned red, and I was kicked out of the memory.

"n-no not yet." I muttered as I struggled to fight the force pulling me back.

I awoke back in the back seat of the car, and dispite what felt like an hour in the memory it seemed to be mere seconds.

as soon as I woke back up what felt like a life time of memories started to flow back into me, all the emotions, all the experiences, everything came back to me.

I remembered who I was.

I looked back up at Sam, y-yeah but everything is still blurry..."

"alright, as long as your starting to remember..." Sam said with a satisfied tone.

"remember what exactly?" I questioned him.

"who you are Ren..." he locked eyes with me through the mirror.

"hmm, here." Sam through me a pair of sunglasses.

"what do I need these for?" I asked confused.

"well one because it's LA, two because..." he said as he handed me a small mirror.

"hey that's my sister's." I said as I grabbed it from his hand.

"just look at it..." Sam ordered.

I looked into the mirror at my reflection and my eyes widened.

my normally deep blue eyes were now glowing red, and my dark hair now had multiple strands of white, my skin also had a more pailer completion then before were it was a little more taned.

"what's all this?" I questioned as I looked at my reflection.

"I would guess thats your true appearance coming out, but he'll if I know..." Sam said as we pulled into the parking lot of a gas station.

"true appearance, wait what's with the blood?" I asked looking at the IV in my arm.

"ah, since your up you no longer need the IV, you can remove it." Sam stated with a grin.

I ripped it out by accident, expecting to feel any sort of pain, mainly because I don't have any experience with needles and I just ripped one out of my arm, but I didn't feel anything.

no that's not right I did feel it but the pain was nearly nonexistent.

'huh, that's weird...' I thought to myself.

Sam put the car in park and said, "ok we gotta stop and get some road food, and a damn bathroom break..."

I didn't reply, I just got out of the car, put the sunglasses on and followed.
