The next thing..
I had memorise of a life I did not rember.. But I had a feeling it was not the real one. I use to have 1 best friend and I standed up for her but when I found out I was a monster I began to shut myself out. After I finished all the projects I agreed toward Tammy I ignored her phone calls her visits, everything. When it was a time of socializing for the whole class I stared at the ground eyes empty waiting for my next class. I changed and changed Untill I met Zack and fear who showed suspicious and inhuman interactions. I discovered the truth of their identity and opened out to them and their family as we became full circle to keep a secret of our immortality.I was found on a soft bed with a guy with yellow eyes and black hair staring down at me with concerned eyes. "Am I.. Alive..?" I managed to asked but the response I got was a smile as he said "yes."
For some reason I felt strange like my whole body knew something I didn't and it was yelling at me to reach out to him but I fought it but my heart on the other hand, was a different story. It pounded loud like a drum on how close this boy standed near me. "Do i Know you?" I asked quietly. His smile disappeared replaced by agony and he managed to smile but it did not touch his eyes. I wanted to tell him not to be sad but only managed to raise my hand and touch his cheek while my heart pounded on this solid chest. I saw his hands turned to fist..as resisting his desire to come closer only to be able to lean in enough for me to feel his slow breath making my rare heart pound louder and say "nice to meet you sleeping beauty."
A vision kicks in all of a sudden the world was fading and I see a boy in a cage yet he looks familiar to me some how. "Oh how sad and tragic" a dark voice announced loudly I stared at him unable to keep my eyes away from his piercing red eyes. "Oh forgive me you do not have your..knowledge straight my name is Roy, my brother had decided to hide his identity in case you..well you'll find out.." His voice was hard and deep, it sounded like two rocks rubbing against one another and I hated it. "Who.who is he why are you doing this to him!" I demanded my voice breaking in .. Fear. The name sensed tingles all over me "he will be great use to us with his voice.. You may not know but his magic is simple to your.. Nevermind, but anyways he may control humans and objects, sadly not essence like you but he needs to Learn and when he does..well.. I may posses him.. Such a shame not recognizing her own brother.." The shadow said. My brother.. Oh my god! I looked at the boy once again and I recognized him, his face had a big scar on his cheek and dirt all over him as he wakened he strugled the words "Evana...get..fear..memory..Stev." Was all he managed before Roy silenced him while he falled asleep. "You better hurry Elizabeth your time is running out.. Your lucky.. You have someone defending you.. Zacky pooh? Yet your memory is gone because of him such a shame no one.. To trust and life line ending so soon. Your little Zacky pooh may protect your pity little self but he may not be able to..protect your..family. I would have prefer your power but I geus your brother would do just fine..well this is just to rub it in bye now darling" and everything faded back to the bed with Stev shaking me trying to wake me up. "I'm f-" my sentence got cut off when I tried to pull his hand of me
"The happiness may not last
From all the darkness it had become the past
A prince is captured far
One reason only and it is to start a war
A sacrifice is made
Causing pain to arrive or fade
A battle starts with good and bad
Created from emotions of hatred and madness"
I released his hand "what did you just..say.?" He said shocked. "Sorry I do that a lot "
"You didn't do it before"
"Well then I do it now.."
I rubbed my head from the pain that felt like a big heavy rock slammed into it.
"Is Jason okay..?" I managed to speak
He didnt answer
"Do you know someone name Stev?"
His head did a little nod.
"Where is he...?"
"In this room"
I put the clues together, we were the only people in this room..so..he must be Stev.
"I need to ask you one question, is Jason in trouble and .. I demand you in the name of..the princess..."
"Yes, his soul has been snatched the same time you..lost your memory he became a different person.."
"Tell me everything you know about the old me."
"Um...all of it..?"
"Yes."
He started off with me being placed in a adoption center..and the story had dragged on from there. I looked at the ground like I was reading something..around the time of my memory wiping and I use to..like..Stev.. I had met Jason, my half brother and then Derrick.. Awkward ex as I described him became vampire, and I found out Stev was my gardian then we spoke of his powers.
" his powers are strong like yours he can't control the essence but he can control monsters, vampires, humans and not living objects by his voice , he has a shield that may block your mind tricks but he cannot do anything against your kind, seers which are gaurds, and guardians...but I am the last gardian and I am ment to protect one thing..you."
"If you were meant to protect me does that mean you know everything about me?"
"No, sadly but I may only tell of your powers I do not have the same knowledge you have"
"Good."
"Why..?"
"There are things about the few things I know about myself I like to keep a secret, if you trust me you wouldn't want to know."
"I might"
"No, you wouldn't"
"Alright.."
"So you're like a mystery?"
"Sorta"
"I like mysteries"
I gulped
"there's a lot for you to find out" I spoke trying to put on my brave voice on. I left the room, I was going to go wondering a little bit. There was a lot to process.
I reached the kitchen trembling and stared out the window, gripping on the rim of the sink. I tried to put myself together trying to put my memorise together but they won't work. I don't know if this boy is telling the truth and..if I use to be this princess and this drama to come up with people who want to murder me. Then, I already have a hunch that we may be in grave danger. Life for me will never be the same if I accept this, in the same way..life for others will be cruel and harsh if I don't help. I must had know to much for them to put all these fake memorise on me, but I lt like I lost myself completely I don't even know who I am.. I don't even know my name anymore. But I knew one thing for sure, there is a big secret both, Zack and Stev are not telling me, I can see it in their eyes, they hold..something back.
Days pass after, and i was lost in thought, I don't know what story to believe, but I never saw Stev again after that day. Zack texted me sometimes to say hello but we never saw each other. In my other life Stev described me as a young princess who face deaths and discovered many fascinating secrets of her life. While on the other hand I knew ever since I was young but, my parent were human and I was thought of a monster whom had no history of her kind. They were complete opposite personalities I had to chose, was I Evana.. Or Elizabeth?
One particular day.. I walked to school and planned to seduce Zack for the information I needed, it was all I got so far. I marched through the hallways, passing groups of girls gossiping and a few boys tossing a ball with a teach snatching the ball away. I reached zack's locker and found him talking to his brother. My teeth grinned together as a reflex. They turned around and I suddenly had 4 eyes staring at me. "Tell me the truth please." They remained quiet, but I didn't care I needed to know more "why are you doing this?" No sound escaped from their mouths. I got my answer when I saw a crescent moon on fear's palm before he turned them into fist. I knew they were hiding something, the palm gave physical proof. Pain started happening on my neck. Everything snapped into place, something Stev holder back something Zack and Fear were to. I may not have all the pieces to know I can not trust etheir. "What is on your palm?" I asked fear, Fear's face hardened and Zack pressed his lips to a thin line. Suddenly a hand grabbed me on the ar pulling me away, I looked to see a guy I did not recognize, when I looked back both Fear and Zack were gone. "Let go of me!" I shouted but it sounded lenses in with the public crowds talking on and on.
"My appologized mam ms princess what ever..oh total forgot your memory, my name is Blake and you are lucky I pulled you away. Considering that you made me into this." Blake replied
"What?"
"Nevermind"
"Where are you taking me?"
"To Stev"
"Why?"
A smile appeared on his face, but he didnt answer.
"Who are they to you..Fear and Zack?"
"Fear is identified as a villain Zack is identified as a pawn, you can't take down the villian with out help of the pawn..unfortunately."
"Uh.."
"You'll probrally never going to understand considering your memory but I still don't like you."
"What I do?"
His smile disappeared, hardened and turned to agony then covered up to make a straight face.
I notice there was no more chattering kids of the hallways, we were in an empty room now with the boy with yellow eyes...what's his name... Oh Stev! And 2other boys I recognized one was Derrick but not the other. Blake pushed me down on a seat and moved away. Sev handed me a book that looked old and dusty. I blew away some dust and it read the history of immortals.
"What is this for?"
"You" Stev answered immediately.
I flipped open the first page. Stev talked while I read, "you are not the most strongest one of your kind, but he is not alive today. My real dad was guardian of the beholder of time himself. Time is the most powerful weapon, my father... Well I did not know much about him. I was 10 when he died.. he suicided him self so I wasn't revealed to the other..immortals. He said his last words before he left and it was that I was destined.. To protect something special, someone who I could never live without. My symbol of guardian dosen't come right away.. It came the first day.. I met you. My pretended parents are the guards, the vampires wanted to kidnap you princess. They walked away with a fake, a sacrifice of life that saved many. The owner of time died a long time ago before my father, my father told...me everything and trained me to protect. The owner's name was Jose..he died because of the crescent moon. I was a son of a guardian whom was worshiped by all the other guardians.. When they were alive. Immortals.. Or young bloods saw guardians as a threat ad slaughterd everyone of them.. Execpt for me."Stev paused, I raised my head, he met my gaze his face was filled with sorrow and hatred.
"Yes" he agreed with a dark voice
The others expressions seemed to absorbing this information.
"The powers of the guardian..are very different on the way you recieve them, before you meet your person you learn to fight. Alone. Guardians don't have the same.. Luxury of the other immortals and essences they would fight and train no one would ever desire mercy. It was training to be fearless, selfless, and brave. You have to look at everything in a different way, stay alert and never lose your defense, because if you do you die. I was trained that way every since my father died .. I trained alone. For example you look at an arrow flying to your object of protection, I look at it as a dagger being thrown at a glass vase and I catch it isntantly." Stev stopped again and his eyes was closed, his hatred leaving him his expression became calm, then his eyes were open revealing the gold eyes again.
"Now for your....history you came from the dead.. There was .. A girlAge 18 she loved flowers and nature, her parents were rich.. She was murderd at a night she walked outside to feel the rain on her skin. Her mom was crying because to her.. Her daughter was her life. She hired a voodoo queen trying to raise her from the dead. People did not believe but the mother was desprite she sacrificed herself to do the curse.. The blood in her veins. And..-" Stev paused his hands shook the table.
"I won't tell you that part, anyways, her daughter awoke and humans described them as zombies. But no she was the first holder of a essence.. Which was death, her life was gloomy and dark. She was powerful..but she was depressed. She did not feed on blood or flesh like the monsters.. The voodoo queen had granted her great magic, but the queen.. Was greedy and wanted to prove she was not a fake and tied a necklace around the girl to contain her power but she knew she wanted to rob the power and she would go back to the dead. She grabbed a knife and stabbed the voodoo queen.. The same night. The same knife.. You touched to have all the seven essence.."
"What? I touch a knife! Why would I do that?"
A image flashed my head of the cave and the silver blade. My head hunted from the tiny vision but another appeared
-
Everything had faded to pitch black.
Fear emerged frm the shadow
I gasped
"It is not good to gain your memory Elizabeth."
"Why..? Why do you want me.."
"I simply did you a favor ..well Zack did your memories.. Oh your..memories it was better you do t know them because you would know the truth.. But it would be amusing to play with you for a while your funny little head. It would just be a tragic to ruin all the fun if I reveal all the secrets I would be such a spoiler don't you think?"
"Who.. Who are you..?"
"My name is Fear of course.. Son of the crescent moon holder.. And time, I killed my father with help of my mother you know. What a cheater he was 3 sons with the crescent moon and he moved on, trying to kill the darkness from attacking. That knowledge of that much is something we can't afford. Don't worry your little what's his face? Steven.. Seven what ever is going to die soon. Guardian.. Every guardian is suppose to be dead he is tampering with fate. I am the shadows and the nightmares my mother is most powerful of course.. I have a little sister to..but she's.. Daughter of Davin what a cheater your daddy is. She holds a magic crystal..the only thing she loves such a disappointment. But you have my mothers amulet... What does that make me to you? Ah, we'll were going off topic aren't we well in summary your little friend Stevan whatever is going to die. Well nice talking bye!"
The vision disappeared before I can say anything.
My eyes opened and saw stev paused talkling and looking at me, I asked a question. "Why do I need to know history?"
"you need to know it because it tames your powers.. you may be very ppowerful but you do not know a thing about magic.."
"magic?"
"yes... Fear, Roy, Zack all circle against Tammy, or tiffany you would call her, her llife is fake she does not know her father, she is the holder of the crystal and magic, the first holder of magic there is but it may be taught to others" stev responded.
"there is alsoo the ice in which you met she is one of a kind as well but she is weak, she is half human so she cant go into battle."
"what..battle?"
'if fear or any of his forces step on this land...there will be war."
"No! That's what he wants! He would want the chance to destroy all of you! You can't do this please!" I shouted but as soon as the words had came out of my mouth I regretted it.
"How...do you know..?" Stev asked curiously
"I...I...."
"Speak Elizabeth Speak" Derrick whispered
"I've been....uh...seeing thing.. Things that..was..of the other life...Zack been showing me these things and I saw these meetings with Roy or fear.."
" don't trust them" Stev suddenly growled
" I don't have the slightest idea why you say that !" I rose from my seat clearly angry
"They don't care about you they want your trust to betray you!"Stev rose from his seat as well
"No they don't! And if they do why should it be any of YOUR concern! It's not like the whole world has to follow YOUR orders!"
"I am Your guardian!"
"And I am the PRINCESS!"
Stev glares at me angrily
"So you side with THEM then?" He spoke in a sharp voice
"Is better than siding with here! With a guy who thinks as ME as a burden!"
" I don't THINK you are a burden!"
"You have a PRETTY nice way of showing it!"
"You Know Nothing!"
"ENOUGH!" Derrick yelled
"Stop fighting its not going to get us anywhere!" He continued
The mystery boy Stepped up for the first time and said " I think we should ask Evana everything she knows" he didn't even bother using my real name. "My name is Raven" he glared as me. Stev nodded once again I am irritated he can allow or refuse these things.
Raven faced me and asked a simple question, "what do you know?"
" I refuse to answer"
" I repeat what . Do. You know.?" His tone sharper as he starts walking over but Blake puts a hand on his shoulder.
"We have to..forget about my brother." I struggled out
"No." Them said at once
"My brother.. And I.. Wll be fine.. When the next eclipse comes.. and this time not the bloody moon. But a full one. When the sun and moon and earth is lined ..perfectly...everything immortal will be powerful..Jason can escape."
"No. That means fear And his brothers are going to be stronger we must plan an attack before that happens!" Stev announces.
"You will also be stronger.. All of us will, but you can't I can feel is a trap, it not Jason they want Stev it's you!" I protested
"What? Why him?" Derrick spoke up
" he is the last Gaurdian...the last threat."
" Why would HE be a threat?" Asked Raven.
"I don't know."
"This is ridiculous we should just follow the queen's orders!" Blake jumped in.
"What orders..?" I asked
"To..To..let you marry Zack.. Force you to and then Zack would defend our country from his 2 brothers.." Stev answered in an antagonized voice.
"Marry...Zack..? Uh..." Was all my response.
"It is your choice" Derrick replied
" the queen is dead we only had contact through spirits but we can't have enough power to set up another meeting.. Till then Evana..you are the queen.." He stated
I glanced at Stev but his eyes were focused on the table.
"He'll be fine" Blake commented my glance and Stev looked up his eyes were in pain, he did not smile. I looked away.
I glanced at all of them," we'll be fine just chilax" Raven said.
The world faded once again-
"I ...we...can't be together" Stev stated in a dark painful tone.
"No! ..please...don't do this" I begged
"It's for your own good Evana..I know this is hard but ..I just can't.. Just follow your mom's orders please."
"Wait Stev!"
"I don't, want you." He said his last hard words like knives to my heart and he left the room.
I broke..apart.-
When the world came back Derrick was shaking me a tear dropped from my chin.
All eyes were focused on me and near.
"I..I.."
"What is it what did you see?"Blake asked.
I failed t respond. Stev did not tell me he let me go. When my memories were taken.. He never did.
"It's not that Evana I saw what you saw it's. just fear and Roy trying to get to you." Derrick said
Another vision blasted my mind giving me a headache-
Derrick sliced my adopted parent's shape shifting body and burned it with fire I struggled and had a determination to kill him, but Stev holded me back-
Once again I am back to the real world.
More tears flowed down with a rush of anger. How dare they? Make me marry so they can be safe? Who do they think they are!?
Derrick had no explanation when I looked at him.
I remembered fear's words.."it's not good for you to gain your memories"
Now I know why.
Anger made me stand up from the chair and face Stev and say the same thing he said to me "I. Don't. Want you. Remember that line..?hm.. Right "
Stev flinched as if I slapped him, and now I kinda wished I did.
"Can I leave..now?" I asked in a sharp voice.
"Yes" Blake said.
I was almost of the door when I glanced back I saw Stev trying to get me but the others holded him back his eyes were desperate. A tear falled down. I turned and stomped out.
