Memories Forgotten Part 2

“No, this is about all of us,” Jack replied at this point getting snappy. I raised an eyebrow, Jack hardly ever lost his composure. He raised a hand to rub his temples. I realized that Walter, Nelly, and Ben were all in the room. Nelly raised a slim hand to wave in my direction with a meek smile. Shaye visibly grew 1

even more uptight by this.2

Jack breathed deeply, “Leo, I have known you your whole life... This isn't easy. About 3 years ago your parents left our-- Association ,for the chance at their own 'private' group. They asked you to convert with them. You refused,” He paused for a short breath, “ You grew inward... depressed in a way,Very Tense. Finally you wanted out.”3

I cocked my head at these people in front of me. They knew 'me' better than I did. Looking around I could see how I could leave but, still they sounded almost like family. Looking back to the group of strange assassins. “Are my parents alive?”4

Jack looked unsurprised by this question but, had a hard time answering. “ They are the reason your back with us. They tried to have you killed.”5

I froze , my mind reeled. Suddenly I was watching myself, arguing with two people in their middle to late thirties. A woman with dark black hair and, glittering green eyes. A Man with light brown eyes ,and Reddish brown hair.6

“Leo, You know they don't treat you Seriously enough here!, Yelled the female.7

“Mother, You know thats not true.” The other-me replied8

“Son, Listen to your mother,” The Male-my father said to “me”.9

“Leo, Come with us, please.,” The female said with finality.10

I looked away staring into the dark surrounding us. “No.”11

The man frowned, “You choose your own fate,” He said drawing the woman away by her hand as tears rolled down her ,now stone hard face.12

I looked back to the present. I felt... dizzy. I collapsed to the floor, my legs giving out below me.13

“Leo!,” Said a voice.14

“What's happening to him?”15

“All of you be quiet.”16

“Leo, can you hear me?” I nodded my head as much as I could.17

“Okay, Can you get up?” I peeked open an eye to look up into Ben's face. His blue eyes very very close.18

“Would I be on the floor If I could? ,or allowing you this close to me for that matter?” Ben chuckled at this response.19

“ He will be okay.”20

“Bite Me,” I muttered. His smirk broke out into a very idiot like grin. He held out a hand ,helping me sit up. I frowned. “Ben, your.....” He looked at me puzzled. “Short, Very Short.”21

This time I heard Nelly and Jack laugh from the corner of the room. Ben muttered something about not being thankful. Shaye entered the room with a small tray, loaded with a glass of water and a bowl of fruit. Really... Fruit, I thought to myself. Shaye leaned over setting the tray down in my lap.22

“Eat we don't want a repeat. What happened anyways? You looked like you were off staring into space.” I told them what I had seen ,through bites of Cantaloupe.
