Where was he leading me? I knew we were out of the hospital building, we were outside. I heard laughter and people talking. We kept walking and it grew silent. I felt my fingers start to twitch, tapping against my leg. Whispering. Mumbling. What were they talking about? Someone came close to my ear.

"It's okay. I'm leading you, just hold onto my arm" I held onto Ryder's arm, my hand still shaking. Steadily we kept walking. The grass was being stepped on in front of us and I froze as someone new spoke.

"Luna. It's good to see you back" a man. Is my name Luna? Ryder called me Em.

I clutched onto Ryder more, feeling uneasy. "What is it Carter?"

"Ryder. A rouge is on the boarder asking for entrance to see her. A warrior told him that she was dead and he wanted to come to the funeral. What now?"

Ryder shifted and I felt him tense. "What was his name?"

"He called himself Jace" Ryder seemed to relax a bit. Maybe he knew 'Jace'.

"Let him in. Feed him, give him a water, bathe him, get him well"

"Yes Alpha" the man called Carter, walked away. Ryder tugged on me and we started walking foreword.

He led me to a room. It reeked of him. It must be his. He closed the door and I unlatched myself from his arms walking. I found my way to a windowsill and I sat down quickly. Pretending to be able to stare out even though I couldn't see.

"Em listen. Someone is coming here okay? Do not hurt him. He is-well was your friend. He's here to see your ok" I nodded softly, not turning my head back at him like I normally would. Out of the blue I felt his hand on my shoulder and I jumped a bit. He pulled back as if he touched fire.

"S-sorry" I was shaking. I shivered up, putting my knees to my chest. He sighed as I felt his stare burn through me. "W-would it be better if I..if I went?" I tilted my head back and slowly nodded. He stepped away, towards where I remembered the door was and stepped out, closing it softly. Silence. I let out a shaky breathe, my hand gripping onto a piece of my hair.

I stroked it, trying to calm myself down. But how can I? I still don't get it. I was out here. Just with a name. His name. No one else's. He's all I remember. The only one I can trust. My hand started to twitch and my breathe quickened. I hurt that girl. He knew that girl. Maybe she was someone to trust. The man. The man he talked to. Carter. He's probably someone to trust. He spoke of authority.

I felt my body shiver and I blinked a few times out of my deep thought. Two men were in the room, one new, the other Ryder. I didn't notice myself to be turned the other way and the unfamiliar man standing in front of me.

"Em. Hey" the voice was soft, yet seemed strained. I stayed silent, scooting back a bit. "No. I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm your friend. It's me, Jace" he seemed to be sitting next to me at a distance.

I stayed silent and felt him sit closer to me, I shifted uncomfortably. "I know about you not remembering. But I'm your uh. I'm your brother. Well half brother but uh, you get it. I'm trust worthy" he came closer and I felt uneasy. I started to take more, quicker breathes.

"Hey hey. Relax. Just trust me" I felt his hand on my thigh. I tensed and then something happened. I c-couldn't explain it. There was a girl. She had brown hair, a slim structure and she seemed to be in her teens. The scene changed and the girl was a bit older and she was holding a baby. The baby it wasn't crying. Wasn't making a sound. Just staring at me, a small smile upon its face. Again the scene changed to fire. The woman was crying clutching her toddler. Wood had collapsed upon her and the toddler got away.

Now I saw the kid growing up. She stood in front of me. She was motioning something with her hands. Maybe it was sign language.

My eyes blinked as I was caught out of whatever that was and was back to darkness. "Em. Emmy hey" the man was still there, my so called brother.

"T-there was a girl. She was holding a baby. A fire" I was rambling.

"Em what are you talking about?" I felt his hand hovering over my leg again and I scooted away.

"D-don't touch me!" I screamed and he stopped.

"Emerald. What happened?" It was Ryder by my side this time.

"The woman died in the fire. The girl grew up deaf, she was trying to tell me something"

"What signs was she using?"

"I-I don't know!"

"Try to remember for me my Gem. just try" he was soft with his response. I grabbed my brothers hand, going into that world.

The girl. Brown hair, skinny structure. Next scene she was a bit older holding a baby. The fire. The kid growing up. She was deaf.

With my hands I translated towards the outside world, trying to copy her movements. I shook my head getting out of it. "You know sign language"

"It's used for signals if we were in a dangerous situation, do it again" I did the signs again.

"Future. Future? Em I think you saw the future"

My brother shifted a bit. "Wait how is that possible?" The lady. The moon goddess.

"Nanji" I whispered. My hands found their way to my face.

"Em did you say something?" I shook my head at my brother.

"I'm blind but I can see the future"
