Chapter 5. Chimera

Chimera stood silently against the wall using her chameleon ablities to blend in to her suroundings. Tam had left ten minutes ago, he should be back by now, unless, something went wrong.

"Please, please, please don't let that be the case!" Chimera whispered to herself. Tam had been her only friends, except for the boy from her dreams but she wasn't quiet sure if he really existed. Ever since she had woken up to no memory of who she was and a beatiful blond woman telling her that her name was Lady Gisela, and that she Chimera was her daughter. Everyone had been welcoming at first until they learned that Chimera was actually half-human, then everyone turned cold, except that is for Lady Gisela her mother. Apparently Chimera was a half-elf-half-mutant and she was made to counter somebody by the name of Sophie Foster, their enemy, the Black Swans moonlark. The boy in her dreams had came to her that night calling her Cas, he had introduced himself as William. He had asked where she was, if she was okay. Telling her that he had reached to Xavier's asking for help, that he was coming, telling her to stay safe.

Chimera had been worried that she was going insane, but when she had told her mother about her dreams, she had assured her that she wasn't, but he was someone who had wished her harm and was the person who had erased her memories. Her mother had given her a night cap telling her to wear it when she slept and that it would protect her.

Chimera was snapped out of her thoughts to a commotion. Her mother came in with the other Neverseen members and a bunch of strangers. Her mother told Ruy and Gethan to take a bunch of kids, ranging based on Chimera's observations around her age and up. The other kids including Tam were taken of to a quarter that Chimera was forbidden to enter. All of the kids, except one that was. Her mother carried an unconcious blond boy covered with black goo to the infirmary.

Chimera was torn between loyalty to her friend and her curiousity. It wasn't until she heard her mother tell Gethan something in a whisper.

"Do the same thing to my son as you did to Chimera." That was all it took, Chimera crept into the infermary to see the blond boy no longer covered in goo. Chimera could see the similarities between him, their mother apparently and Chimera. He like her had blond hair and long dark eyelashes. Her mother had told her that she was her only child.

Why had she lied?

Gethan put his fingers on the boys forhead for a few moments.

"It's done," Gethan told her mother.

"Are you sure that there's no way for his memories to come back." Her mother asked.

"I did the same thing I did to Chimera." Gethan told her. It took all of Chimera's will power not unsheath her claws from underneath her fingernails, stop blending in and demand answers.

"Wait to wake him up, I'm going to get Sophie." Her mother told Gethan and then left the room.

Sophie? Sophie Foster perhaps? The girl who was supposed to be her worse enemy. Chimera's life was crumbling before her eyes. What was going on? A minute later Lady Gisela entered the room with Ruy and a blond girl with brown eyes. All elves were supposed to have blue eyes she had been told. Was this girl a half elf as well?

Her mother smeared an orange goo on the boy and he slowly woke up.

The girl, Sophie pulled herself out of Ruy and Gethans grasp and sprinted to the boy giving him a hug yelling.

"Keefe! You're okay!" The boy pulled away from Sophie saying.

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Gethan yanked the Sophie away from the boy who Chimera assumed was Keefe as her mother gave Keefe a hug saying.

"My son! I was so worried about you, and you, you monster! Stay away from him!" She directed the last point to Sophie.

Chimera was shocked with a little fine tuning that was the same thing her mother had said to her when she woke up.

Sophie was dragged away exclaiming, "Keefe!"

Chimera's mother turned back to Keefe saying.

"It's okay my son, you're safe now." Her mother told him.

"I'm your son?" He asked.

"Of course!"

"Why do you feel irritated then?"

"I don't! You must be getting mine and Sophie's emotions mixed up!" Her mother claimed.

"Gethan why don't you lead him to the guest room. Also check on Chimera once your done."

Gethan gave her a curt nod and led Keefe away. Chimera decided to see what direction he led Keefe in, if it was away from her room she couldn't risk getting caught, Tam needed her help. Thankfully though Gethan brought Keefe to the same hallway as Chimera's room. Opening the door to the room right next to hers.

"This will be your room." He told Keefe, Chimera quickly phased through the wall into her bedroom. Dropping her camoflouge and quickly picking up a book on her bed opening to a random page and plopping down on her bed, and just in time to. Gethan knocked her door.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Your mother wanted to let you know that we're back and that she has something to tell you at supper."

"Okay." She told him. She waited for a few minutes before phasing through the wall between her room and the storage room picking up a pile of leaping crystles before phasing into Keefe's room.

"What?" He asked.

"I'm your sister, our mother is lying to us it appears. The girl who was there when you woke up was your friend I think. They need our help to escape." Chimera told him.

"That's why I felt concern from the girl. Allright, let's go!" Keefe told her. Chimera grabbed his hand spreading her Camoflouge across the both of them and phasing them through the wall leading them to the forbidden room. The kids inside where crying.

"I'm going to help you escape." She told them. "It appears that my mother has been lying to me about something." At that point she phased them through the wall and held up a leaping crystle. Snapping her fingers summoning a ball of light. Sophie joined hands with Keefe and the others grabbed eachothers hands and Chimera leaped them out of there.
