~Chapter 8~ Shane's Story

After a few hours, I had fully awoken and we were all listening to Shane telling us what he could remember. Chinatsu and I both felt that everything he was telling us was a lie, but when I read his mind, I found nothing. It was like his mind had been completely erased. I tried to find out from him who would do something like this to him, but I couldn't think of anything.

We were questioning Shane as much as possible determined to find out what his side of the story was. I was praying - not really - that he would be able to tell us something, or anything, that could be of use to us.

"What do you remember Shane?" Sophia questioned him.

"Well..." He started to say, "I remember that Zakura had found me when I had not long been forced to watch my parents being killed right in front of me."

"Then what?" I questioned, curious to find out if anything he would tell us would relate to Zakura, himself.

"He was the one to take care of me for a long time, and..." He stopped for a few minutes. "And then I... I don't remember. The next thing I seen was you lot, and that I remember I had been fighting you lot."
"I wonder why you can't remember anything after being looked after by Zakura for so long." Chinatsu thought as she was thinking out loud to herself.

"Maybe Zakura done something to him." Jason said. "Seeing as everything that has been said so far, has Zakura somewhere within the story."

"You think Zakura erased Shane's memories, or changed them, or at least done something to them?" I questioned, looking towards Jason, who just nodded.

"Yes."

"But why?" Hiroki said, after having been quiet for so long.

"We'll have to try figure it out, or find out from Zakura himself." Sophia suggested.

"Right." All of us agreed. But one thing was stuck on my mind; how were we going to find out anything from Zakura if we didn't even know where he was hiding, or what he truly looked like?

*********

Not long after I had ordered Yarray to kill Shane's family - and I had taken Shane under my wing, hoping that he would be of some use to me - I had made sure to remove his memories, and edit them slightly so he wouldn't realise that I was the main reason for his families deaths, and his survival. I despised that school and everyone at it, and one way or another, they were all going to die. Die a slow, painful, bloody, violent and horrendous death.

*********

Shane had told us everything he could remember, even down to the smallest details, but there was nothing that would help us figure out who removed some of his memories. We had all decided that when we could, we would go to the library and find out if there was a spell that would allow people to remove memories, and if there was a certain element required to be able to do so.

I headed to the library with Jason and Chinatsu, spending hours upon hours searching and looking through as many books as we could within the one day. Nothing. We had found nothing until Jason found a book relating to all of the elemental powers and what spells could be cast if the user had a specific element.

"So what does it say?" Chinatsu questioned.

"Well," Jason started to say, "it says that each element has certain spells that they can perform." He said, while reading from the book.

"Like?" She said, getting rather bored of all this research and just wanting to go back to the dorms and relax within her wolf form.

"Like..." Jason mocked, rolling his eyes smirking, before carrying on. "Ice powers are able to create barriers of ice that are able to protect not just the caster, but a large area, say the area of the school grounds." He explained.

"Wow." She said, as her eyes widened in surprise.

"So what powers can remove, or at least do something to a persons mind?" I asked him.

"Dark powers." He simply answered. "And there has only been one person within the schools history who can use dark powers, and guess who that is." He sighed.

Within unison, both Chinatsu and I answered. "Zakura."

"Correct." He nodded.

So we had finally found out that Zakura had something to do with whatever had happened to Shane's memories, but we still didn't know why. We just had to hope that the others would be able to find out something, or Shane would somehow remember something, before Zakura attacked the school again. He had once before attacked the school, and had vanished not long after being defeated by the heads of the school. The heads, Amelia and Aaron Robbins.
