I woke up with a pain in my back and stomach as my legs hang off the side of my bed. I groaned while the morning sunshine blasted through my thin blanket and in my face. I didn't want to wake up. The pain was probably the most intense pain I had ever felt before I saw a bright light before I was

Drowning. I'm deep underwater, cold, dark, and alone, when I ran out of oxygen. I try to make my way up to the surface. Eventually, however, my artificial lungs can't take it anymore and I take in a breath. Instead of oxygen, salty warm water rushes into my lungs. The last thing I ever see is the dim light above you, slowly fading away into blurry nothing. Thinking that you were so close and yet so far, I think I could even feel the sweet tanginess of wind touching the tips of my fingers as they lightly touched the surface, before, I sank.

It was when I ended up in a room gasping for air. I fell to the floor gripping my stomach before looking around the room, it seemed vainly familiar before I saw me. But I did not look the same, maybe a little younger, but nindroids don't age... I stared cocking my head to the side before he grabbed a band aid on the dresser and put it on his knee wound, blood. Real blood. No sparks even flew.

"I was human" I gasped and backed away into the wall before a small girl ran into the room crying. She had long black hair that was scraggly and messy, like she hadn't taken a shower. She was wearing a short pink dress and was holding a teddy bear before she wrapped my arms around my neck while crying in my shoulder.

"Z-Z-Zane mommy hit me again" she balled. He patted her back trying to calm her down before I realized, this is my past. It all came rushing back

I had a sister named Emily Watson, we were such great friends and siblings

Our parents constantly bickered and fought, and would usually take it out on us

We grew up in a small village called Kunukium.

"She has the answers" a voice in my head told me. That's when I snapped out of my trance and flew up in my bed. I looked around my room gasping and grabbing my chest in pain before I laid back down in my bed, she has the answers. I groaned softly before running my hand through my hair again and slowly swinging my legs of the bed before trying to stand up. I felt another pain in my chest as I fell to the ground again gripping my stomach harshly as pain surged though my body before I heard a voice.

"Hurry, you do not have much time" she whispered. I stood back up with the help of my dresser before grabbing my hoodie and sliding it on my bare chest before grabbing a precautionary knife and two old ninja stars before walking over to the window and seeing that we were parked. I did not have much time I repeated to myself before landing on the snowy ground

"How long was I out?" I asked myself before putting my hood back over my head. My breath was foggy and dull, I have been away from my golden weapons long enough that I was not used to the weather. I didn't know if this was a trap or not, but I was not going to endanger my family because of it.

I kept walking until I hit a friendly house in another small town and asked for directions from an older family saying that it was a few more miles south from here, I thanked the couple before sticking my hands in my pocket and continued walking. I could barley walk without a tree to lean onto, leaving me very vulnerable for an attack. It was quiet except for a light beeping that seemed to follow me before I stopped and examined it before I realized it was on me. I opened my wrist pad and saw a red flashing button that was inserted in. I gripped it and yanked it out sending a tiny shock through my body.

"A tracking device" I muttered before, without thinking, I slammed it into the nearest tree sending it to pieces. I stared, before remembering Nya saying something about it, but would it be flashing red? What if it was him, I groaned again. It was hard to think with this headache. I needed to keep going I thought as I kept walking before I saw the village.

It was an old village, kind of like where Kai grew up, they had normal sized houses made of wood and some with bricks, but they looked really old. I saw a baker, blacksmith, miners, what a usual town would have. I walked on one of the dirt roads cautiously. The town was surprisingly active. It didn't take long to find someone that would answer my question, it was an older lady

"Excuse me, I am looking for an Emily Watson, have you seen her?" she looked stunned but answered

"She left a few minutes ago to go and hunt." she said while pointing to the forest. I thanked her for her help before continuing to walk that way.


There she was, I think at least. She had raven black hair, with a black bear skin placed over her head and some jeans with oddly no shoes. I hid behind a tree as she faced away from me and pulled back her bow while staring at her prey, a well sized deer.

"E-Emily" I yelled from the background, scaring the deer away. She let down her bow and yelled in frustration

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU-" she looked back at gasped while covering her mouth, astounded

"Z-Zane... Is that you?" she asked tears forming in her eyes while dropping her bow onto the ground

"Yes, Yes it's me" I said. She started to ball before running over and hugging me tightly while crying into my shoulder. I kept the pain in my stomach to myself as she squeezed harder

"I thought you were dead"
