" Where's this place"
Sia felt her head spinning.
She felt dizzy and couldn't see well .
" Where I am?"
She sat up from her lying position.
" What happened to me?"
She asked no one in particular.
She obviously thought she was alone.
" You went unconscious"
" Unconscious?"
She asked without looking up.
Even if she did ,Her view was still hazy.
" Yep"
The bass voice said.
" What is this place?"
" NOWHERE"
" No what?"
"NOWHERE "
She was starting to get a clear view of her surrounding.
She wanted to see him.
She felt she already knew him.
Even though He sounded strange.
" Who are you?"
" Can't guess?"
He sounded suprised.
" No"
" Don't you remember anything?"
" No"
" What's your brain full of"
" Jelly?"
" I beg your pardon"
He was taking coffee.
Even in this age coffee was still available only it was scarce and not so popular.
Only people who had no surrogates took coffee.
Sia could see well now.
" You drink coffee?"
" Yep, helps through long days"
" That means you ain't gat a surrogate"
" Nah"
" Just like me"
He walked up to her and held out his hand.
Sia reached for his arm and He pulled her up .
Effortlessly.
She was up on her feet .
" You seriously don't remember anything?".
He asked.
" No"
" Is there anything I need to remember?"
" How we met"
He told her.
" O-k-a-y"
She said unsure.
A long silence followed.
" You really don't remember"
She shaked her head.
" Invisible"
He was trying.
She shakes her head.
" NOWHERE"
She shakes her head.
" Trust the invisible"
" Okay, Who told you all these?".
" Wow, you really don't remember anything"
He really wanted her to remember.
" So what can you remember?"
" Earthquake"
" You remember the Earth quake?"
He sounded very suprised.
" What about before the Earthquake".
She shrugged her shoulder.
He went to the screen and started typing.
She walked up to him .
" What are you doing?"
" Trying to find out why don't remember anything"
Then he lapsed into soliloquy.
" You do remember the Earthquake "
He was saying to himself.
" Why not before it"
" Someone must have interfered with her brain signals"
" Interfered with what?"
Sia asked.
" It's nothing"
He said to her.
" You just sit"
He said to her.
" Where?"
" Take this"
He brought a strap.
" F-o-r? "
" To order whatever you want"
" Okay"
" I want a seat"
" Seat order being processed"
A robot ,probably feminine came up.
" That's Peal"
" Why Peal"
" Just started calling her that"
" Okay"
" Sia "
He called her Name still typing.
She was getting comfortable in her Couch.
" Sia"
" How'd you know my name"
" Doesn't matter"
Sia stood up and brought out a bowling stick It was electronic and could project lasers from the end.
Sia took a fighting stance but He was too busy to notice.
He was collecting some form of data into some kind of device.
" Really ,It doesn't matter how you know my name".
" If you could remember, You'd know how"
He said as He turned.
In time to miss a bash from Sia's Bash.
" What's up with you"
He said dogging another deadly bash.
" You're from Zen"
" Hey ,careful"
" Who are you?"
She asked determined.
She swayed the bash to upset his balance but he was quick enough to jump over .
He realised He was going to be either wacked or squashed If He did nothing.
" Who the hell are you?"
She asked again.
This time She jumped from a table and slide down .
She turned over and kicked him off his balance.
He fell.
She stood over him and pointed the bash at him.
He looked at her.
" Who sent you to me"
" What did you do to me"
" Why can't I remember anything"
She bombarded questions at him.
He looked at her intensely.
Perhaps studying her.
He quickly held on to the bash and tried to drag it out of her hand but since she held on to it firmly.
She came down with it.
But She was smart, She rolled over and got up regaining her balance.
But He was already up and with the bash.
He broke it in two with his knee and threw it .
" If you wanna talk.....
He didn't let him finish.
She rushed to him and double kicked him in the thigh.
" What's your problem lady"
" Don't know"
She replied, this time He got hold of her but She let loose of his grip, splitted sending a kick to the neck.
He was red.
She tried to punch him but He locked her in.
She let herself free from his lock by re-entangling his arms into hers and breaking free.
This time He got hold of her by the Neck.
She was going to kick him straight in the face but He bent back dragging her up with him.
She bent over his back but She was not in control.
He was .
He saw a cuff on the desk and immediately before She could gain her balance cuffed her hands to the desk.
" What are you doing"
She was struggling.
Hands akimbo, He asked.
" Ready to listen now"
She smiled.
He wondered what It meant.
This girl was gagas {mad}.
" Yes"
She said calmly.
" Are you okay?"
It was a serious question.
He still wondered why He was still holding on to her.
He would have gotten rid of her a long time if she had been another.
It seemed like He shared a bond with her.
One that He couldn't resist.
" Yes"
" I'm okay"
" You're not okay"
" Why'd you say that"
" Look around you"
" You created all this mess"
" And after that"
" You act like nothing's happened"
" You're crazier than I thought"
" I'm not crazy"
She said giving this smile.
That was deadly and lovely.
" I remember everything"
He was drinking.
But He spilled it when He heard what she had said.
" What?"
" Yeh, I'm serious"
" Before the explosion"
" Yes"
" You're invisible"
" Told me to get out"
" Lead by the Invisible"
" Trusted the Invisible"
His tightened face began to loosen.
" You really do remember"
" Yeah"
She wanted to cross her hands but She was handcuffed.
" Can you let me free"
She said signalling to the handcuff.
" No "
He said
" Not till am sure you not crazy"
" So why the " I don't remember" drama"
" Really wanted to know if I could trust you"
" I got a double kick in my thigh"
" Just for you to trust me"
" I'm sorry"
" Sorry doesn't change the scars on my thigh"
He said harshly.
" Or the hurt I'm feeling on my neck"
He turned his back to her.
" Shit"
He swore.
" I'm now a Test Subject"
" I'm sorry"
Someone touched the point up on his neck where He was hurt.
" Shit"
" I'm so red"
" But you're not bleeding"
" I don't bleed"
It seemed She was too close to him.
And she was.
" How did you break free?"
He was shocked and turned to face her.
She waved a beamed at him.
" What's that?"
He said as He applied Ice to his Neck.
" Arrrrgh"
He screamed in pain.
" Seriously?"
" You're dangerous"
He said walking to a chair.
He sat down with a bang.
" Doesn't that hurt"
" It hurts a lot"
" I mean the way you sat on the chair"
" Oh that"
" I don't really feel pain"
" What about the pain in your neck?"
" It hurts, different from pain"
She sat on the arm of the sofa.
" How is 'hurt' different from 'pain"
She asked making air quotes at ' hurt' and ' pain"
" Pain goes a long way, Pain is deep, Pain lasts longer"
" Hurt goes away"
He said rather with much contempt.
" You've never experienced pain"
" How'd you know the feeling?"
" Watched others feel pain"
" Pain makes you stronger"
" Pain is everlasting"
She was massaging his neck region.
" I'm sorry for beating you up"
" You really believe you beat me up"
" No"
" But I feel a sense of pride when I say that"
" You're crazy"
" Arrrgh"
" Hey careful"
" Okay!"
" How come you have superpowers?"
" Don't know"
" Was born with them"
" And you feel okay about it"
" Powers are cool"
" Besides I've mastered my powers"
" How?"
" Who taught you?"
" No one"
" When you live alone "
" You learn to fend for yourself"
" And learn by yourself"
" You do everything for yourself"
" What about your parents?"
She asked .
It was as if He knew the question was coming.
He stood up and went towards a glass door that was trusculent.
" Come I'll take you to your room"
" And anyways you already slept "
" You were unconscious through the night"
They were going up.
" You mean its morning"
" No It's the evening of the second day that I met you "
" I slept for how many hours?"
" Long,long hours"
" How long is long?"
" Don't know"
They kept chit chatting and Sia had forgotten the question she had asked.
" So this is goanna be your room"
He said as he ushered her into a room.
" Something like this exists in here"
" I like to make myself comfortable "
She shrugged.
The room was beautiful.
Really beautiful.
It was made of glass and life effects such as fire and water.
She touched the tap at the far end of the room.
It shoot out water in a beautiful manner.
She got so engrossed looking at the way the water sprinkled out.
She didn't hear what He was saying at all.
He was giving her instructions.
" Sia!
" Sia!!
" You gat to be kidding me"
He went over to her.
" Hey"
He twitched a finger in her face.
" oh"
She snapped out.
" You were saying something"
She realised He was saying something but She wasn't listening.
He shakes his head.
" Seriously?"
" I was wasting my time giving you instructions"
" Oh instructions"
She exclaimed.
Then she sobered down.
" Hmmn, For what exactly"
" So you don't get roasted"
" Ohh!"
" Well, I'll figure it out"
" And besides Fire don't hurt me"
" Whatever"
" I wanna go take a nap"
" Don't try to explore of you don't wanna get lost"
" If you need help ,ask Peal"
" If you need anything ,talk to the strap".
He looked around.
He walked out .
Then she remembered something very important.
She ran out.
He was just at the hallway.
" Hey"
He turned back.
" Your Name"
" Aidan"
"Aidan"
She repeated.
" It means fire"
He nodded, winked at her and walked away.
