Angels - Part Thirteen

Note-

I have decided to continue this story right now cause I'm starting to get really into it again and I had heaps good feedback from my last two chapters, over 5,000 views!

This you might have to re-read once or twice cause it has gone kind of crazy, but it should start to make more sense soon. And sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I haven't been using word.
Thanks guys!

Chapter Thirteen

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost or something?" The girl said standing back up and turning her back to me to grab something.
I sat straight up and wrapped the blanket around my body and bought my legs up to my chest, hugging them.
She turned back around and handed me a milky looking drink.
"Drink it. It will make you feel a little better. Do you remember what happened?" She asked me.

I looked down at the drink and shook my head, contemplating drinking the stuff. If they wanted to poison me then they could have done it before, right? What could happen from drinking this now that could make my situation any worse? I was sitting in a tent with a girl that I have seen in my dreams naked, surely it can't get worse?
I bought the liquid up to my nose so I could smell it and bought it to my lips. It smelt a little like honey, and honey is good, so no harm there, right?
"Do you know where you are?" The girl asked.
I shook my head and swallowed the rest of the milky stuff. It had a really sweet taste to it.

"Do you remember anything? Anything at all?"
I shook my head and looked at the bottom of the glass. The taste was nice. If sunshine had a taste, then this would be it.
I tried to remember where I had seen this girl before, what happened in my dream, but my brain wouldn't let me remember anything, it was like there was an impenetrable brick wall in my head, blocking me off from remembering anything that happened before I ended up here.
"Well you were being chased by some Trackers, and you fell and smashed into some trees. Nothing too bad though, you should be fine in a couple of days." The girl replied.

She sounded like she was telling the truth, but I couldn't remember any of this.
"Who are you? Why can't I remember anything?" I asked her. My throat was all scratchy and my voice sounded funny.
"You really don't remember anything, do you?"
I shook my head and pulled my legs tighter against me.
"Ok, wow. I didn't think that you would be this bad. Wait here a second, I'll go get the others."

She walked out and I sat myself up so I was leaning against one of the poles of the tent and wrapped the blanket around me tighter. Why couldn't I remember anything? Why couldn't I remember what happened properly? Who was this lady?
I could hear the muffled voices outside, it sounded like three or four people were arguing, but I couldn't be sure.

I pulled the blanket up so it was around my shoulders as well and tried to find something in the tent that I could use as a weapon in case things started to get out of hand, but apparently these guys had already thought of that because nothing sharper than a spoon was in here. Assholes.
The tent opened up again and that lady walked back in, followed by three other people, two guys and another girl.

The other girl was no older than twelve and had short blonde/white hair and had a bag draped across one shoulder. The first guy that walked in was the smaller of the two, black smoothed back hair and glasses. He looked a lot like a geek actually, he even had the white shirt and a tie to go with it. The other guy that walked in was hot. And I mean it. He was taller than the others, but not a lot. He had blonde hair that was slightly spiked and his muscles were ridiculous. He was ripped.

"Hello there. I'm Max." The nerdy looking guy said waving towards me and smiling. When he smiled his eyes crinkled up a little at the edges.
"Hey there beautiful. I'm Jace." The completely ripped one replied, winking at me and crossing his arms, flexing a little.
"H-hi. I'm N-Natelie. B-but I like N-Nat." The little girl replied shyly, looking directly at the ground.
Who were these people? I don't remember any of them. I'm sure if there was anyone I would remember it would be Jace, but I couldn't even remember him.
"And I'm Gabriella. But these guys just call me Taco." Said the girl from before.
That was her name, Gabriella. Wonder what was with the Taco?

I looked at the four of them and studied them, trying to see if I could find any hint of deceit in their eyes, but they looked honest. But they were hiding something, I could see it in Nat's eyes. Or maybe just she was hiding something?
"There were two other girls. In here before. One of them gave me some pills, and the other a blanket. Who were they?" I asked them.
"Oh, that would've been Sara and Lana, they've gone out hunting for some food. We're going to need some more now that you are awake again." Gabriella replied smiling at me.

Hunting? Why would they go hunting? Why don't they have enough food to feed one more person?
"Anyway, we have to get back to work, you know what it's like, Tracker's chasing us and all. But I will get Nat to stay here with you and make sure you are comfortable and explain everything to you better." Gabriella continued, pulling everyone outside and leaving the little shy girl behind.
"So, where are we?" I asked.
Nat looked up at me for a second and then bought her head back down to the floor, mumbling something under her breath, something that I couldn't quite catch.
Man, today was going to be a long day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the roughly four hours that Nat had been in the tent with me all I had been able to get her to say was that we were in a forest. Not what we were near, not if there was anyone else around or even near us, just that we were in a forest.
This chick obviously didn't talk too much, and that made the hours of her sitting in the tent watching me feel even longer, and a hell of a lot more creepy.
But she had provided me with a lot of time to think everything over.

The stuff that they had all told me didn't make any sense. Why couldn't I remember a single thing? And why was there this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that something was wrong. That something was missing. Something really important.
"Hey, Nat you can leave now. I'll stay." Taco said as she walked into the tent.
Nat got up and without looking at me walked straight out of the tent, staring right at the ground.

"Sorry about Nat, she's a little shy around new people. We're all her family, and I guess that she's just worried about you. You know, about losing your memory and all that." Taco replied sitting down on a stool near me.
I nodded and looked up to her, briefly looking into her eyes.
"Where are we? Exactly."
"We're at the base camp, like we almost always are." She replied looking at me straight in the eyes.
She was looking at me confused, like I should know where we were. But I couldn't remember anything about the 'Base Camp' or about any of the other guys. I couldn't remember anything at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They made me stay in the tent for a week, but after that week was up all I wanted to do was get out.
So I did.
The first they let me up and out of the tent they showed me around the base. They showed me the stream that ran down near the camp, where they would get their water from the top and wash at the bottom, where they would usually go hunting and stored all the food and wood, where the rest of the tents were that the others would stay and even where the medical tent was. They were pretty set up. And in the week that they had kept me inside and out-of-the-way more people had come. Some were Angels and somewhere Saviors. But none were like me.

Max and Taco had told me about how I used to be an Angel, and how I had lost my wings. They said it was a freak accident, but they wouldn't really tell me more than that. But now they all called me 'Fallen', because I am an Angel with no wings.
They also said that there used to be stories about Angels that had lost their wings, but they couldn't really be much more help than that. They only really knew how to survive, the same as anyone else these days. But Max had been really helpful and tried to find out more about Angels like me. So far, nothing. But I had faith in him.

And in the week that I had been walking freely around the base camp, I had also had these nightmares. They were always about the same people. Two creepy guys that hardly ever talked, and when they did it was never in English, it was some other language. And there was a girl, a pretty one. She could talk both English and their language. And then there was another guy, who seemed to be really nice, and a girl. The other girl wasn't as nice. She was an evil psycho bitch. But in my dreams she was always on my side. We were all like one big group, and we were running away from something. And I kept having this dream that we were all in the forest together, and I was trying to learn my powers again, but every time I tried I couldn't. And then it would all of a sudden change scenery and we were all in a different clearing in the forest, and the nice guy was attacking me. It was all chaos. Everyone else was in the clearing fighting these black silhouettes, and then I would wake up.

I felt like I knew these people, but there was no way that I did. I even spoke about them to Max one day and he just said that it was all just a nightmare, it just felt real because of the trauma I had gone through recently.
But every time I tried to ask him another time he would just change the subject and make me go do something far away from everyone else.
And things had just gotten more and more weird. All the others were now giving me time-consuming chores to do, like hunting. And they would give it to me and tell me to do it by myself, and when I would finish they would give me another chore to do, and another. And by the end of the day I was too tired to even talk to the others. I just went straight to bed.
They were hiding something. They must be.
