Chapter 4: No Name

Author`s note: The italic texts means that it`s either a flashback or a dream

Hikari…

That name rang through Six`s thoughts as his shaded eyes examined Skuoro`s features. Long black hair with a silly curl sticking out, hazel brown eyes and to confirm his suspicions, she had the same charm necklace that he gave his lost niece.

'No…it can`t be her.' Once again, he took a look at her to make sure he didn`t leave anything out. 'Yes, it is her…but how?'

Skuoro snapped out of her focus when she saw Six. Her eyes widened with shock as she felt as if she has seen him before. Her eyes went through his details, the darkest shade of brown on his hair, sunglasses covering his eyes and a green suit. She definitely remembers him but not from real life but from a dream. She didn`t tell anyone about since she thought it would be a waste of time. The young girl`s mind started playing back the dream.

It was snowing. She was running through a forest that was blanketed with snow as a little girl. A smile carved on her face as a man chased her. She hid herself behind a tree and gave out a slight giggle. Noises of boots walking on the snow were heard louder and louder.

She held her breath, trying not to laugh. Suddenly, she was picked up and a familiar laughter rang in her ears. "C`mere, you little rascal!" A man`s voice said and held her in his arms. She burst out laughing when the man started tickling her.

"Uncle, stop it! You`re-you`re tickling me!" She squirmed in her uncle`s arms as she bursts out in fits of laughter. The man stopped tickling her and hugged her. "You`re the best, uncle." She said and snuggled into his chest. The man held her closer. "I`m glad you`re still here. You`re the only family member I have left."

Skuoro`s mind started wondering whether that dream was a dream or a memory. Lately, she`s been getting a lot of dreams similar like that. Some of them felt so real, as if, she already experienced it but, some felt too fake to be true.

The girl shook her head a bit and decided to concentrate on her main goal, making sure she gets accepted into Providence.

"Hello there. My name is Falcrowe. I`m very sure that you`ve heard of me from the auction." The pink-eyed man, Falcrowe, said and stepped forward. He held out his hand to Six but was left there. "I`m Agent Six and this is my partner, Rex." Six introduced him and Rex to the man and his acquaintances. "Please follow me to the Command Center." With that he turned around and started walking. The others followed him.

The walk was silent as everyone minded their own business. Rex started to feel uncomfortable walking along Six and went to back of the group. The teen looked beside him to find Skuoro. He observed her appearance. She just like when she was in the auction only with handcuffs. "So, elemental E.V.O., that`s kinda cool." He said to her trying to get a conversation but all he got was silence. The teen decided that it was best to keep his mouth shut.

The situation at the Command Center was busy with agents walking around with clipboards and mission reports and some were observing the numerous monitors that covered the wall of the huge room. For once, Skuoro looked up at was astonish by the largeness of the room. 'So, this is Providence.'

'I`m finally here…'
