Chapter 11

A Chapter by Eidolon Michael

Rene and Ralph have come to two different realizations. Will it change everything? Sorry about the format

Rene ran up the long spiral staircase to her room, her thoughts racing. If this Ralph is the Ralph she heard about from Taira, then I might be able to restore his memory... She ran into her room and searched through a drawer for something. She found it, muttered "Yes!",a nd ran downstairs. Halfway down the staircase, she ran into Ralph, who looked very nervous about something. "I have something to tell you!"they said simultaneously."Okay, you first!" they both muttered. "No, you!"they both siad,"Can we stop now?" They both looked at each other for a moment and Ralph nodded for Rene to keep going. "Look at this,"Rene ordered excitedly, showing Ralph a picture of Taira and five other people that looked at quintuplets, except for the different eye and hair colors. "Who are they?"Ralph asked slowly, recognizing himself among the other people. "They're...like your brothers..."Rene muttered."The main one is Michael." The name ranf a bell in Ralph's brain. He closed his eyes as something flashed in his mind. He saw someone cutting up a shelf somewhere...but where was it? Ralph held his head in his hands as his forehead began to throb painfully. "Come on, Ralph!"Rene urged."Think!' "Michael,"Ralph moaned. "Focus on that name! Concentrate!" Ralph focused as much as his aching head would allow... Suddenly, memories began coming back to him as though they were someone else's. He saw a person her recognized as Dante destroying Christmas trees. He watched as two people identified as Roran and Daniel yelled at each other in the middle of a restuarant. He saw so many things at once, he thought he would collapse under the pressure of the memories... "My name is Ralph. I used to live with four people named Daniel, Dante, Roran, and Michael. We were all different personalities of Michael put together, but seperated in the real world. I disappeared from their house around four o' clock in the morning. I woke up in this city. I was weak and could not find my way. Then I met..." Ralph looked up at Rene with a smile. "You." Rene smiled back at him. "So you have your memory back?"Rene asked. "Mostly,"Ralph replied, his headache gone,"I have large chunks where I don't remember anything, but other than that, I'm fine." "That's good,"Rene said happily."Wait...why did you disappear away from Michael in the first place?" Ralph closed his eyes. "I don't remember." "Oh..."Rene said, looking crestfallen."Well, that's okay, at least most of it is back!" "Yeah,"Ralph said with a smile."Thank you." "Anytime,"Rene said happily and Ralph gave her a hug and kissed her on the cheek. Rene blushed. "Thanks?"Rene said, confused. Ralph left down the staircase, leaving a very shocked and confused Rene to ponder what had just happened.
