Forgotten: No one can escape. A great flash emerged above all of Aronia leaving each with short term memory loss. Years lost to the fog of amnesia. Can no one recall? That appears to be the case. Whom or what is responsible? Panic has stricken the globe. Will civilization collapse? What will emerge from the reset? Only time will tell. To each citizen of Aronia from the Global Gazette, we wish all luck.
Welcome to Aronia. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Misery was visibly surprised by the mention of the woman and she nearly dropped her sandwich. "You...saw her?" She asked slowly, putting her sandwich down so she would drop it. "I thought it was just a dream, but if you saw her....then it must have been real."

Misery looked away from Asher and stared down at her half eaten sandwich, "She says she knows where we are and will always know. We can run, but we cant hide. She mentioned Lahziel too in that he will always find us eventually as well." She glanced at Asher, "And then you woke me up. I dont even remember falling asleep in the first place."

She then looked at Asher, "But she appeared to me in a dream. You talk as though you saw her in the flesh. When? How could I not hear the two of you talking.... I would have awakened if I heard voices."

What Asher said saddened her. Was this woman trying to get Asher to kill her or something? Or perhaps persuade him to turn her over to someone? Ashe was all she had and if he betrayed her, she wouldnt know what to do. She would be alone and she didnt want to be alone.

Misery could help but to look away from Asher's brilliant green eyes. "But....I am not using you....." Misery voice sounded uncertain when she spoke. Was she using him? Was she using him to help her run from those she didnt want to be around?

No, that couldnt be true. After all, it was Asher who told her to run from these people and she simply followed. "Why would I bring about something awful? I dont believe that Gerald would have created me to do anything bad. He seems like such a kind man."

Misery was silent for a long moment and sighed, "But...there was that time when I was with Lahziel. Why is it that I have no memories of my past? Did he erase them? Did he brain wash me? Or did Gerald do it for some reason? Maybe my memories were erased because I WOULD have done something that brought about something aweful."

Again, Misery was questioning her existence. At time like these it would have been better if she had never existed. She didnt want to be responsible for something horrible happening. "What will happen if I truly and not the person you know. What if Freya is different?"

Her mind was becoming disoriented. Was she and Freya the same person? Or where they two personalities in one body now? She was becoming increasingly frustrated that she had no memories and the countless unanswered questions were driving her insane. Misery clenched her fists on the table and the material of her cloves could be hears stretching, "I hate this." She finally said, her face sad and angry at the same time as though she couldnt figure out whether to throw something or cry. "I HATE NOT KNOWING ANYTHING! WHY CANT I ANSWER ALL THESE STUPID QUESTION AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!?" She shouted in frustration.

When she began to shout, everything in the room that was turned on began to flicker and the bird went nuts and started flying around frantically, chirping.

"Yeah... she was like a ghost... bitch kissed me..."

He wiped his lips on the back of his sleeve, shaking his head slightly. It was even worse that some part of him had liked it...

"She said you wouldn't wake up, I don't know how she knows..."

As he listened, he just got more and more worried. She was taking this harder than he had hoped... but then again, how would you take it if someone said they knew you would do something you didn't want to do...?

"I know... and I'm sure he didn't..."

What else could he say...? All he could do was watch while she got more and more upset... he saw it coming just before it did... her screaming, the lights starting to flicker... and as it did he knew it would spread. She would go through the power lines... someone would know... if he didn't stop her... what was he thinking? This wasn't about them being found anymore... how would she ever be able to be happy with this hanging over her...?

"Misery..."

He stood and walked over to her, putting his hands on her shoulders and making her look at him.

"Misery stop it! Calm down! I'm not going to leave you, I'm not going betray you, no matter what anyone says!"

He just looked into her eyes, frowning slightly.

"I'm not going away..."

Misery was forced to look at Asher and when she did everything suddenly stoped and the bird landed clamly, no longer panicked. Misery's eyes were still uncertain.

However, when she realized that he said that the woman had kissed him she blushed deeply and looked away. She looked back up at him again though, "Do you promise? Do you promise never to betray me? Abandon me? I dont want to be left all alone."

Misery's hands were clenched at her chest in fear of him not being able to promise her that. "You dont have to protect me, or like me. Just promise you wont betray me or leave me all alone...."

He looked back at her for a moment, then he leaned forward and kissed her softly, closing his eyes. After a few moments he pulled back again, and nodded.

"I promise. I won't leave you alone..."

He blushed heavily after that and looked down. He'd wanted to do that for a while... still... after that he faked a rot of laugh, and shook his head, his face like a tomato.

"Sorry, I hope you don't mind too much... just... well..."

He looked back up at her for a few moments, and smiled more naturally.

"I don't think of you as anything but a person... no that's not right either..."

He frowned, looking for a proper way of putting it.

"You're special, but not the way they think you are. You're special to me because of who, not what you are. Hope that makes some kind of sense. I can explain how anything in this world works except my own damn feelings..."

He looked away then and sat on the table, looking down towards the floor.

Misery's eyes went wide suddenly when Asher kissed her. Her mind suddenly went blank and her worries vanished. When he pulled away she blushed and touched her lips with her four fingers in shock. Did he just....kiss her? Was this another dream?

She was silent as he spoke and watched him turn red faced as well. "Special....?" She finally said softly. What did he mean by that? She relaxed though, now knowing he would not abandon her. She watched him curiously, trying to figure out why all this was happening. She then looked away quickly, realizing he must like her...a lot.

She liked him too, so she couldnt be mad about the kiss. "Im special to you...but not because of what I am." Misery gave a soft smile then, "Thank you, Asher. Each time I have nearly fallen through thin ice, you have been there to lift me away from it. Thank you so very much."

The bird rested on Misery's shoulder and nestled against her cheek. She laughed softly and lifted her hand to stroke it. "And thank you. I know now I will make it through this. So long as both of you are with me."

She then stood, "Shall we go then? We cant stay here for too long or he will find us, right?" Misery then noticed his hair and started to actually giggle. "Your...your hair is sticking up." She said pointing to his bangs.

"You're welcome..."

He looked over at her and smiled, the blush finally starting to recede, but then he nodded.

"Yeah. If she tells Lazhiel were we are there'll be trouble... and I only have three PT cartriges. Boy am I glad I went on a weapons kick three years ago... Oh, speaking of."

He walked over to the far wall, the one he hadn't taken the covers off, and pulled them off in one swoop, revealing several guns of various shapes and sizes hanging on the wall. He grabbed several of them and stuffed them into a bag, then he zipped it up, and grabbed the rest, dumping them into a box in the corner. He then pushed a red button on the side, and there was a sudden popping sound, along with a flare of light. Asher laughed a little.

"Gotta love throwing things into a plasma accelerator... well that's broke now. Annnnnnd..."

He dropped down, poking at the base of the table, and a panel opened. He reached in and pulled out a cube about three inches to a side, which he also put in the bag, then he put his whole arm in, seemed to reach around for something, and he pulled hard. There was a crackling sound, and the hologram above the table vanished with a tiny pop. He came out from under the table, holding a mass of wires, and tossed them aside.

"There. Pulled the memory core and it would take ME a full week to fix the processiong core, so I think we should be safe from them learning anything more about you like we have... got everything else? Next time we stay someplace with a shower, though..."

He laughed slightly, a little bit too cheerful, but he didn't want to ruin her good mood.

Misery moved when Asher did and began to gather the things they had brought in and watched Asher work. "I can always check to see if there is anything remaining in the computer system." She said, "I think I will anyway."

She walked over to the equipment and closed her eyes when she put a hand on it. The screen exploded into activity even though the computer itself was probably shot from Asher pull of wires. Everything stopped then and code appeared, and then it began to be erased. Once everything was completely wiped everything shut down completely and would not turn on at all unless fixed by someone who knew what they were doing.

Misery turned and smiled, "I cant fix machine and brake them too, I guess. I wasent sure if I could, but I guess I can. Er...sorry. I will fix it if you ever need me to...or try to."

Misery then picked up their box of food, "Alright, I am ready."

"Yeah, sure, that'd be nice."

He was loading up a few other things while he was doing this, but then when he saw her erase the computer like that, he blinked a few times.

"Hey, that's cool. I guess you can link right to it... the nanomachines inside you have to operate at least partially on machine code, some of them are probably made to translate for you."

He lifted up his bags, and walked over next to her, looking around a little bit. Kind of like syaing goobye to an old friend... here he was, leaving his home like this... but he was doing it because he wanted to, for her...

"Yeah. Let's go then."

He opened the door, and called his car back up, letting her out before he sealed the building again, and dumped the things into the trunk again, leaving it open for her.

Misery followed Asher out and watched as the place sealed up. She placed the box of food in the trunk, then got into the front seat with the most precious cargo in her lap: her birds.

She smiled to him then, "Onto our next adventure. I wonder what person will pop up this time? Hopefully we wont have to deal with anyone else chasing us."

Misery put on her seat belt then and looked ahead, "Hopefully we can find somewhere that has a kitchen, so I can cook you a hot meal. I owe you that much." She said.

He laughed a little bit and nodded, and he was about to start it when he stopped suddenly, and looked around a moment.

"Someone's coming... don't know who, but I think we'd better get going."

He looked over to her, just slightly worried, then he turned the car on and started out, pulling around the corner quickly, and racing - just a little too fast - down the streets, looking in the mirror as he did.

"I think we got out in time... wish I'd seen that coming sooner. I don't think Tagert is going to be able to hold off the police anymore, that bastard that was holding you obviously has some deeper connections even than I do. Well we'll see who laughs last you heartless piece of shit..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and kept going, though he cheered up a little and handed her a small screen that lit up, showing the city.

"Navigation. Ask it to find a hotel, see if you can find one where we can stay a few days and have a little kitchen. They exist."
