"… I'm sorry, I don't know you, I think you got the wrong guy'' I heard him say which further broke my heart and the tears just flowed down uncontrollably, at this moment I was finding it hard to control myself or even think straight'this can't be happening, he can't forget everything, not like this, not now, not… everything. Is this happening right now? No, this must be a prank, yeah it is' I said in my mind and just as I was about to ask him again, I felt someone pull me out of the room''Wait-wait, I just… I need to ask again… wait'' I said as I was being pulled ''You need to calm down first'' I heard the person say, as I wasn't actually in my right mind, I couldn't recognize the voice, I tried to break free of his hold until we got outside and then tried to get back in, but was stopped again, before I could try again, I felt a hug that completely engulf my body as I heard his voice again''Calm down Cal', do you want him to see you like this? Be brave okay and help him remember everything. I know it hurts, but you have to bear it, okay?'' as the voice continued to speak, I finally relaxed a little on the outside as my mind was still in turmoil as I was still trying to make heads or tails of the current situation. We remained like that for a while before I finally calmed down....…..
Sally's POV
With excitement and joy coursing through me at Mikey's waking up, I stood at the edge of his bed, different emotions flashing in my eyes, happiness, excitement and relief. The last emotion was the most dominant one, things haven't exactly been the same since Mikey's 'death', there was always an air of solemnity and grief surrounding the group, whenever we met up, it was like a boulder was pressing down on us. The usual clueless Cal' who always made everyone laugh by how clueless he was suddenly turned gloomy and quiet, he always seemed so lost in his own little world paying no attention whatsoever to the topic at hand, his eyes always looked dead like his soul was yanked out of his body and that further dampened the mood of the entire group, adding to that, there was no funeral as we couldn't get the body and his dad didn't really want to say goodbye to his son yet.The excitement and relief I was currently relishing in didn't last for long as it all vanished and morphed into shock and wariness when I heard his words''… Who are you?'''What does he mean by that? Is this a trick?' I asked myself as I stared at him about to ask a question but Cal' beat me to it''What?''''Who are you? And where am I?'' he asked again''What-what do you mean? It's me Cal''' he said with clear desperation in his voice and after a bit of silence, he finally said something''… I'm sorry, I don't know you, I think you got the wrong guy'' he said and Cal' finally broke down and Tyler dragged him out of the room before he could do something. All noise was immediately ignored by my brain as I failed to hear anything apart from the muffled sound of Cal' trying hard to free himself from Tyler's hold, I couldn't pay attention to that as I was occupied by my thoughts'H-how? This can't be happening, not now… why? Why is this happening?' I kept asking myself these questions over and over again failing to understand what was going on, just… why?...''Sally''… why was this happening to us? Does it have anything to do with Vacio? This all started with that night a month ago, it must have the answers to my questions…''Sally''We need to find it again; it would have the answers to all our questions. We had no problems with our lives until that night, it was fun at first, but not anymore, this directly links to our lives. What is that place? Where does it lead to? What does it even mean?''Sally!''''Huh?'' I was jolted from my thoughts by the loud yell beside my ears as I turned to the direction it came from to find Michelle looking at me with worry''are you okay?'' she asked''Ye-yeah, yeah, I think so''''are you sure?''''Mhm''''why don't go outside for a bit, have some fresh air and clear your head, mm?''''… okay'' I said walking out of the room with different thoughts swirling in my head, on the way out, I saw the others also walking to the door with thoughtful looks on their faces'Guess I wasn't the only one who found something wrong with this situation'...Michelle's POVWith the kids finally out, I turned to Mikey and said''I'm going to ask you some questions, try to answer them to the best of your abilities, okay?'' I said to him and he replied with a short nod''Okay, could you tell me your name?'' I asked and he opened his mouth to speak before shutting it with a thoughtful look on his face''Hey, could you tell me your name?'' I asked again''… I can't remember'' after a short pause he finally answered''What about your age?''''I-I'm… I'm fourteen''''Okay, do you know me?'' I asked and he stared at me for a while before shaking his head''Okay'' I took out my phone and showed him a picture of Sheriff Jacob''Do you know him?'' he stared at the phone for a while then cocked his head to one side''… He looks familiar, but I'm not sure''''Okay, among all the kids that just left the room, who looks familiar?''''… The boy who was crying, he looked familiar''''Anyone else?'' ''I don't think so''''Okay, well, why don't you relax and I'll tell you the essential things you've forgotten'' I said and he gave a hesitant nod''This man is your father'' I said pointing to my phone ''My father?'' he asked''Yes, and he's the sheriff, his name is Jacob. Your name is Michael O'Brien, but you prefer to be called Mikey''''Mikey, that's why that kid kept calling me that'' he said with a look of realization''Yes, and that kid is my son Calister but we all call him Cal', he is also your best friend'' I said the last part while watching his expression''Cal' is my best friend, that justifies his reaction''''Okay let's get to the others, Sally, the girl I was talking to a while ago…'' I started to recount all the names and all the moments they spent together to see if he'll get any reaction. We spent the rest of the night chatting....…
Sally's POV
I stepped out of the room and was met with the sight of Cal' on the floor, he seemed to have calmed down but I don't think he has any intention of getting up, Tyler was sitting right beside him but on the bench with the others. I stood there staring at everyone as silence descended on us, no one said a word but I could somehow guess what we were thinking'Vacio has something to do with this, right?' I waited for a while, still no body said a word so I spoke up''We're going to check it out, right?''''Check what out?'' Ben asked. For the last 2 weeks, no one bothered to fill him in on the supernaturals or Vacio, so he is still as clueless as ever, but I don't have time for that''We all know it has something to do with this, let's just check it out, before you voice your concerns, I know the risk attached to it, but if we don't figure out what's going on right now, then it'll be too late later on''''I agree… we should check it out. It gave us powers… yes, but there's no free gift in life, we should know the pros and the cons before anything else happens'' Gwen said''And besides, Mikey is in this condition because of the werewolves and we still don't know where they came from''After saying her piece silence once again descended on us, slowly standing up, Cal' stretched a bit before saying''Then, what are we still waiting for''
