"That was you?!" Lea exclaimed and Cindy directly indulged him in a hug.

Jay just gritted his teeth and Ted looked at Loraine, they smirked, "You just laughed at a bullied student, and with that, you're by no means better than the ones who did this to him."

Ted cast a dead stare at her and Roy looked at Noah, his eyes full of pity, "Man, what total dickheads. Who shat them in their brains?" Cindy began to cry as she held Noah tightly, Noah just stared into space.

In his mind 'The original was really pitiful as if his life was not hard enough. If I find those disgusting humans who did that, I will torture them so much that they'll wish to die. On the other hand that was "Memory 1", meaning I could unlock more memories.' As Noah was still trying to wrap his head around the memory thing the others had a heated discussion.

"Hahhaa, so funny. Poor little fish cake," Loraine laughed.

That was the moment when Jay snapped, "What is so funny exactly? That video was so tasteless, that those three even got expelled for a month. The principal was even going to throw them out of school if his son hadn't been one of the instigators." Everyone could hear the rage and anger in Jay's voice.

Loraine just rolled her eyes, "Please, he's just a little orphan boy. He doesn't have any family to complain to anyway, and in the situation we're in right now, they're probably dead anyway."

As soon as she was done speaking Jay stood up abruptly, his chair falling to the ground with a bang. Noah got out of Cindy's hug to check what was going on. Everyone in the room had either a curious expression or a shocked one.

Jay slowly walked towards Loraine, "These are pretty big words especially when you consider, that you have been clinging to me ever since you saw me. And yet you still don't know why I am angry..." Standing before her he kneeled so they would be on eye level, he looked directly into her eyes, "Even though, you claim to love me so much you should know that I am an Orphan way longer than Noah. The lucky thing was that I was adopted. If I hadn't, I would still be in the Orphanage for 8 years. Noah was in the Orphanage for only 2 years no? Before that, he had his parents and with them, lots of love. Right? And you think, just because such a fate can befall someone else. YOU, who has nothing to do with his life, who doesn't know his story can make a judgment based solely on, that he has no parents anymore. Then you're truly the most stupid human being I have encountered. And the most insensitive."

Loraine smiled at Jay, "Well, of course, I know that. But you are different you are sunny and outgoing and Noah's just creepy, doesn't talk to anyone, and is a loner. He is a whole different being, he has no talents, he has no friends, he has nothing and thus he always will be nothing. But you have all these things, so the choices you made were much better, and the choices Noah made... Well, they were shit just like him." She then smiled at Noah as if she was a Master looking at a slave, and that's when everyone in the room heard something snap. A hand grabbed Loraine's clothes and dragged her out of the classroom to the front door. Zeana shook her head as she turned toward the radio not giving a shit. Cindy, Lea, Roy, Ted, and Noah stood up and quickly ran out to see what Jay was doing. As they soon all stood near the front door, they witnessed Jay getting the key out of his pockets. Loraine now noticed the dread that was about to overcome her, she let herself fall on her knees and tried to plead. But it was too late, Jay had already stuck the key in the front door. Loraine was trying to pull her clothes out of Jay's hand, but to no avail, his grip was too strong.

She then looked at the five who were just standing there watching it and screamed, "PLEASE!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET. PLEASE, Noah, I promise I won't say anything mean again. Just get him OFF."

Tears ran down her face and Jay unlocked the door, he looked down at Loraine, "Any last words?" Just as she was about to say something, both Zenix and Ben came back. As soon as both of them saw what was happening, they looked at each other and high-fived.

"We're finally getting rid of her," Zenix rejoiced and looked at Ben.

Who said, "About time, she would have only destroyed us from the inside either way."

Noah gave them the side eye thinking 'Probably the only people who could be so happy about someone dying.'

Loraine ignored them and pleaded, "Yes, yes. Please don't throw me out there, I will never do such things again. I'll be nice, an Angel, but please don't let me die. I don't want to die yet." Tears ran down her face as she looked up at Jay.

Jay looked at her as if she was already dead, "That's not my problem, but I think our group does not have the capacity to feed such arrogance and stupidity. Goodbye!" He said and opened the door, getting ready to throw her outside.

Suddenly the door was pushed in and Jay fell to the floor. The others went directly into battle mode until they saw who it was. Noah saw a man with a brown jacket run inside beside him was a girl with the same jacket and a red-haired teenager.

"Teacher!" Exclaimed both Zenix and Ben as soon as they saw the man. The man with the brown jacket, closed the door immediately after everyone he brought was safe inside and then locked the door. The man in the brown jacket and the girl in the same jacket sat down with their backs against the front door catching their breath. The teenager was leaning against the wall and while all this happened, ran Loraine back to the classroom. Zenix and Ben almost ran to their Teacher but were pulled back by Lea.

"Let them have a short rest first. We all know you missed him the most, but calm down guys!" She said as she brought the two into the classroom and Cindy followed Lea behind.

As the Teacher caught his breath, he stood up, "We have to tell you what happened out there. You won't believe what we saw!"

The girl, probably Steph, also stood up, "We even have someone new on our side. But I see you do too." As she looked Noah up and down, Noah looked at the handsome boy who was leaning against the wall. His hair was red and tied up in a ponytail. His ponytail reached down to his waist.

Jay also looked at the stranger feeling strangely familiar, but he shook his head before he could think further. So Jay followed the Teacher to the classroom, behind them were Steph, Noah, and the stranger.

As soon as the Teacher was in, he was engulfed in a big hug by both Zenix and Ben, "Oh Teach, we were so worried about you."

Ben said and Zenix hugged tightly, "We thought we almost lost the greatest Teacher in the world. Because we would take you over Zeana every time." Steph gave them a side-eye silently thinking that it was her Father, not theirs, so why did they make such a scene? The stranger followed Steph and he gave Noah a little look, Noah saw his eyes and those ice-blue eyes were as though he had seen them somewhere before. And at the same time, he was kind of mesmerized by them. Noah then just followed them and sat down next to Jay, but he felt someone stare again. As he looked at who it was he saw the new boy, but he was not looking at Noah. He was looking at Jay very intensely, Jay then noticed and looked back at the new boy. The new boy then spoke and if Noah were to describe it, it would be that his ears are pregnant now. His voice was deep and mellow, and it was like there was a slight hoarseness at the back of his throat.

He said, "Jason is that you? Jay Jay?" His eyes were full of emotion, and as he said those last words, his voice almost broke.

Jay looked shocked, his eyes swirling many emotions, "Do you know me? I... I... don't really remember anything. I had an accident 8 years ago." As suddedn pain penetraited his head he raised a hand to try and massage it away.

Speph looked up and saw that everyone sat down, "Although I don't know what's going on between you two... We should really tell you what happened!"

The teacher nodded, "Yes, this is Maison. We met him while getting supplies in the supermarket, and he was really helpful when me and Stephanie got sick."

Ben and Zenix were directly on the case and both screamed, "You were both sick?!" Like mothers both Ben and Zenix tried to find clothes to give to Mr. Waltermoor so he could change.

"Mr. Waltermoor, I hope you're not wearing any infected clothes. That would bring us all in danger," Zeana scoffed.

Mr. Waltermoor smiled, "Please don't worry Ms. White, we made sure to burn them before coming here." Both Ben and Zenix sighed contently.

Zeana rolled her eyes, "Well, Mr. Waltermoor, did you both get attacked or did it rain again?"

Mr. Waltermoor wanted to say something, but Maison talked instead, "We came by the Willow Lake, or at least, it was the Willow Lake. Now it is a white tree in a silver lake, we might need a new name."

"The lake is silver?" Lea asked and intensely looked at those three for answers.

"Yes, as we all know this City named Malimoor, comes from the moor that was in the center of this city, and over time it developed into a lake. And sometime 200 years ago on the hill that was standing in the middle, grew a Willow tree. That is why it is called Willow Lake, but now it is not the case anymore. When we arrived there there was no more of the green leaves, no greenery at all, and the dark blue-green water was also gone. Now in the middle of Malimoor, in the middle of Willow Lake was a huge white tree. The tree had no leaves and would seem dead if not for the whitebark flying off and into the water. The color of the water had changed, instead of the blue-greenish water it was before, it was like a mix of silver and completely transparent. We didn't touch it, but it looked like it had the consistency of quicksilver."

"So the bark of the tree made you guys sick, if it's like this... It shouldn't be safe to walk out there, how could we get help from outside then? We can't be rescued."

Loraine started to panic and Ben looked curiously at Mr. Waltermoor and Steph, "So like are you guys stronger than me now, what are your abilities?" Mr. Waltermoor was shy all of a sudden and Steph proudly presented a normal flame in her hand.

Ben saw and still smiled proudly, "What a puny little flame." Steph glared and Mr. Waltermoor tightened his grip and his face looked like he had to push something out. And then Mr. Waltermoor's skin changed colors, it was gray like stone and when Steph knocked on him it made a noise like stone.

Zenix then laughed, "Mr. Waltermoor has stone skin, surely no zombie could ever bite through that."

Mr. Waltermoor smiled shyly as his stone hand went through his hair, "Well, this lasts for about half an hour, and after using it I can't use it for an hour or more than one hour depending on how much damage it reflected." Zenix looked enviously at those two, then at Jay and Lea, and lastly at his best friend.

"I wish I could have one too," he said with a voice full of envy and sadness.
