Chapter Two - Different Chapter two (not very different) is on page 3, and so is Chapter 3!

"Isaac, you choose the strangest girls to bring home," Reed remarked with a frown. Isaac hardly looked at Reed as he stared at the blond girl unbelievingly, but it wasn't only him that was confused. Everyone couldn't really understand what was going on. Even Sloane and Reagan, who are usually very open minded to this sort of thing, were wondering what was wrong with the girl, but since Isaac had never explained what happened to Aimi, they couldn't see the connection. Isaac, on the other hand, was really hoping she was joking. Things would be so much more complicated if she lost her memory. But was she just joking? Aimi looked serious, everyone could see that.

"What do you mean you forgot your name?" he exclaimed, unable to fully grasp what was going on. Things were spinning out of control, Isaac was getting nervous. He didn't like not knowing anything about her, just like Aimi thought she could have been kidnapped, he thought about what she could have been. Perhaps a normal high school girl? Or if you were a pessimist like Isaac was, maybe she was a serial killer.
"I think she means that she's lost her memory.." a girl who she recalled to be Jian suggested. She was Asian as far as Aimi could tell, but she wasn't sure from what part of Asia. The girl had puffy cheeks, and a circular face. She had the straightest black hair out of all them, including Aimi herself, with eyes that were really a dark brown, but looked black with long lashes.

"Say what? How'd she do that?" Sloane exclaimed with wide brown eyes. Things were really stretching out of her usual every day life, she'd never known someone could lose their memory just like that. Reagan was on the same page, unable to comprehend how and why Jian had come to the conclusion that she lost her memory, but why else would Aimi not know her name? Was she a very good actor, a good enough actor to fool everyone here? Reagan didn't think it was very possible, and her first impression was that Aimi was not the one to joke around too much, but she could be wrong.
"You can say that again. Last time I checked, memory loss was caused by an injury to the head, or brain trauma. But what do you know? Maybe someone has found a way to conjure a memory loss out of nowhere. Maybe she knew something she shouldn't have," Reagan suggested with a shrug.

"Where did you say you found her Isaac?" Reed asked, turning to Isaac. This is the time, Isaac thought, where I tell them I found her unconscious in the water, swaying from one side to the other with the waves. Somehow Isaac didn't feel comfortable giving them the news, but he knew they would have to know at some point. Just imagine how Aimi would feel, and how more complicated it would get when he told them the story. It was Isaac and his father who knew, and somehow, he thought it'd be best if Isaac told them. His father never liked Aimi, ever since he saw her first, which was when Isaac was carrying her unconscious body through the kitchen, had his father disliked her. But he'll leave that tale for later, it wasn't too important.

"Well, this isn't going to be easy, but I found you in the ocean. You were drowning," he paused. Isaac just wanted to end it at that, and say that was it, but it wasn't. Truth is, the worst part hadn't even arrived until now.
"That isn't it though," Isaac sighed as he gazed at her eyes, so blue but green at the same time, he didn't want to say it, he really didn't want to, but he didn't have much choice.
"Someone tried to drown you, someone tried to kill you," he finished, eyeing her slowly, feeling so guilty for having to tell her. He couldn't imagine how hard it was for her to take this in, but she needed to know. Something he kept repeating to himself so as to not feeling too horrible. It wasn't his fault. Aimi stared at him, paling. She lowered her gaze, gulping loudly. She didn't know what to make of what he said, she was really really hoping he wasn't speaking the truth, where he'd just say 'kidding!' and it'd just be a very bad joke. But Isaac looked just as overwhelmed as she was, she didn't quite understand why, but she didn't make much of it.

"You're fucking joking, right?" Aimi repeated the words that had been spinning in her mind, obviously unable to comprehend everything so quickly. She felt so overwhelmed, why would someone want to kill her? What was so important about her that needed to be hidden, or did she know something she wasn't supposed to, like Reagan suggested? Why was she drowned?

"I don't think he is," Jian responded for him, and Isaac nodded at her. Aimi sighed. Why was she drowned? Why had she deserved that? Who was she really? And who was her attacker?

"That's not what you should be focusing on. If you saw that she was drowned, you must have seen the attacker," Reed guessed, and Keto nodded, he'd been thinking the same. Aimi thought that would work, since Isaac and his father must have used her appearance to track her ID, which meant that having the appearance of her attacker could arrange some information on him. Aimi's heart sank when Isaac shook his head though, clearly things were not trying to be easy for her.

"No, as soon as he noticed me, he vanished. Or at least, sensed I was there. He didn't even look up to know I was there, I couldn't see his face. I don't know, we're dealing with some sort of demon I think. Not quite sure, but he just vanished into thin air. Maybe a human possessed by a demon?" Isaac guessed, but somehow, it didn't sound right for what he thought he'd seen.

"It sounds a lot more powerful than that," Jian thought, clearly focusing as she stared at a certain small detail of her bracelet.

"Would it possibly be a..." the sentence that was started trailed off as Sloane looked at Reagan.

"Don't even mention them coach," Reagan paled as she knew what Sloane was thinking of. The others all looked at them sadly, all understand what was being said in the silence. That is, beside Aimi.

"A what?" Aimi impatiently asked, looking around. But no one answered for a moment, clearly not wanting to have to talk about it in front of Sloane or Reagan. Jian sighed, as though saying 'alright, I'll tell her then'.

"A mage. There are certain mages that are very powerful, and both Reagan and Sloane's parents were killed by one," Jian answered. Sloane and Reagan stared at the floor as the memories came back. Aimi's apologies were said through silence, she didn't know what it was like to have parents, she forgot, and the only example was Isaac's father, who she did not want to see very soon.

"Ok. So we cannot figure out who the attacker is, have you run a search on her ID?" Reed asked, turning to Isaac. Isaac nodded, and Reed was suddenly hopeful, but the glee left his face when Isaac actually answered.

"Yeah, she doesn't legally exist on earth, which means we'll have to check the other planets' databases," Isaac answered with a sigh.

"But that takes ages! At least a week for all eight planets. Isn't there another way?" Jian whimpered.

"You don't have to come. OK so how about Isaac, Jian, Sloane, Reagan and uhm.. you know, this would be so much easier if she had a name. You're Nemo, ok? So Isaac, Jian, Sloane, Reagan and Nemo will go to check out the crime scene. Keto and I will search the databases," Reed decided with a nod. Keto nodded, he wasn't one to complain.

"Nemo?" Sloane frowned, unable to understand why he chose that name. She didn't look like a Nemo to her, with the curly and frizzy long blonde hair, with the freckles and blue-ish green eyes, she looked more like a Chloe, or Zoey.

"I believe it means No one, or Nobody," Reagan explained, and everyone finally understood, besides Aimi.

"Wait, you think I'm no one?" she exclaimed, clearly trying to look insulted. "How dare you!"

Reed didn't have much time to answer, since Sloane and Reagan got bored of the argument and moved on, but he didn't want to answer anyway.

"Awesome Ray! We get to see the crime scene! I just realized," Sloane exclaimed with glee. Reagan nodded with a ecstatic smile.

"Yeah coach! And we'll be private investigators," Reagan continued with a giggle.

"Oh but we can be so much more! I am Sherlock Holmes, the private investigator. And you are..." Sloane trailed off, waiting for Reagan to finish her sentence like always.

"John Watson, the private investigator," Reagan finished, and they both fell into laughter, oblivious to the silence between everyone else.

"Aren't you two... a little female for private investigators?" Keto asked, clearly talking about the two legends they were claiming to be.

"Never too much to be Holmes and Watson, because their ready for action!" Sloane exclaimed with a wink, and Reagan winked. Keto smiled and blew a kiss their way, and they both faked a swoon.

"Ok, enough romance. We need to get going, the quicker the better," Reed got to the point. "Let's go, Keto!"

End of Chapter Two.
