In the ward number one hundred and sixty- six, Grey and Max find grandma Victoria resting. "Fatty you can go back now, this room can't fit all of us. As always grandma Victoria will wake up at seven tomorrow.Go back and sleep, remember first thing tomorrow morning to pick me up."
Maxwell reluctantly agrees with him "well boss remember to eat your food"*placing the sealed pot of food on the table**I'm leaving now. "
Grey takes the pot of food and starts eating immediately, Maxwell smiles at him and close the door behind leaving. He nods at the officers at the door and hurries to the hotel.
In the ward room, Grey eats slowly while looking at grandma Victoria .Slowly memories of his childhood, grandma Victoria always stood for him everytime he had a relapse.
The orphanage was not that bad but food was always an issue, so grandma Victoria always stayed strict about food. "Grey my boy never ever, I repeat never ever in your life waste food. Because one doesn't know when again will he or she will get a chance to eat again." Grandma Victoria's voice echo in his head.
This recollection came with severe headache to Grey. Vivid pictures flock his brain at once,his eyes turn blood red making him dizzy.
A desolate and overbearing voice chant' "Fatum suum non fatum effugere non potest." Everything was dark, rampaging lightning and thunderstorms rage everywhere. Sounds of beasts and monsters of all mythologies ring nonstop. As a being made of pure lightning stood in front of a massive gate.
The gate reached the sky, and cover as far as the eyes can see. Symbols on the gate appear to be a mixture of different languages. Then the being covered by lightning look straight into Grey's eyes. And then came pain, it was so intense that Grey passed out.
-------------(Grey's P.O.V)-------------
After what seemed like an eternity I finally woke up, my head hurts like hell. A galaxy of memories revolve everywhere. I feel like I'm in an abyss struggling to make up who I am.
It's only been two hours since I passed out in the real world but it felt like forever. Looking at grandma Victoria, different pictures play in my head.
Three youths stand at on a mountain top,one girl and two boys. The girl wearing a white floral dress, one of the boys was wearing a world war one khaki British war uniform. While the other was wearing a scholar's plain clothes.
The girl was of English descent, the youth in uniform was of African descent while the scholar was of Greek descent. Then everything went blank again.
I try my best to remember what next but I don't recall anything's at all. Then another memory comes again in a party in New York City, someone's stabbed me in the left side of the chest when I was drunk.
The face of the one who stubbed me is not clear but I remember he/she was wearing an expensive bracelet. The scent from the stubbed was orchid. All this came fast and left even more faster.
I want to call fatty but that fool maybe asleep now, although I don't remember exactly everything, I remember crucial things. All my inventions and discoveries, the labyrinth and everything I ever made.
I finish my cold food and sit on the couch trying to catch some sleep. Slowly without much time I drift to sleep.
-------------------
Early the next morning, my phone buzzing wake me up. Max's name appears on my screen surprising me, I take the call" Boss, I'm sorry for waking you up now, but I'm not sure about something?" Max's annoying voice is heard.
"What do you want?"I ask him,"well I don't know what to pick as your breakfast?" You damned freaking fatty are you really that stupid huh!! did you just call me to ask that silly question?" I ask him coldly. "Ehhhh!! I'm sorry boss, I really don't know what to choose from?"
"Come over at seven with an extra change of clothes, remember to bring me black clothes!!" I insisted. I cut the call immediately.
Two hours later a nurse comes in and request to change grandma Victoria's clothes. So I take a stroll outside through the hallway while ignoring the guards at the door. My meds are almost done and I need another powerful painkiller to help myself.
I stand on the top floor balcony to try catch a break, the view of London city from the hospital is stunning. It's been ages since I had a slightly clear head, my memories are back back even though not organized.
A stand at the balcony for five minutes before returning to grandma Victoria's ward. On my way there, I see two groups of soldiers on a stand off in the hallway.
One group was behind the soldier who irritated me last night and the other stood behind a very beautiful middle aged lady in grey one piece dress.
As I get closer, the situation seems more complex than I thought. So I pass through the two groups and enter the room.
I saw grandma Victoria's eyes water after seeing me, her hands tremble as she reached out to hug me "Ohhh my boy Grey, I missed you so much, I really really really missed my intelligent brat."
*Hugging her gently and patting her head*"Hey hey hey grandma Victoria calm down ok, look at you huh, your crying like a baby now. Look if anyone comes in he/she will think I bullied you. Come on grandma, ok stop crying ok I'm sorry for not visiting you okay." I try soothing her as I always did when we were still at the orphanage.
Grandma Victoria's body tense up and she stutters"S....ss.. seven you.. you.re..remember everything now ???" Her shocked face says much more that I needed to know. Truthfully I nod my head in response.
Panic kicks in as she moves away from me,"I'm so so sorry seven, I know what I did to you is inhumane b... but.....I .... didn't have a choice back then it was either you or my grandson." She coils up on the far end of the bed.
This made me worried,"grandma what area you saying, it's me Grey huh!. Nurse, doctor someone come here!!!" I shouted.
This commotion caused the lady in grey to enter the room. "Mother, mother what's wrong with you? Mother what's wrong I'm Celine mum. Please don't scare me?"
This made my brain blank,mother, grandson
