570Please respect copyright.PENANApnY6ag1ttB
You know sometimes I keep telling myself, I am going to find out about this little secret Nikira decided to keep from me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAGq26FxNtw7
I mean, even stan knows, well atleast I think he does, both him and Nikira are talking in hushed voices.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgNWNluHFlL
If it's so serious, why even tell anyone. I know theo would tell me, his heart is made of gold, but the others...
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzVVVkh1yRh
Let's just not go there.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXFuD2hKGst
We've been walking for a long time now, Nikira and Stan are a few steps ahead of me. I assumed we would reach the town quicker, because last time when Nikira and I were heading to her house we arrived there in a day, but since we are was sooo sloww I can just say that is my explanation.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA37E9bKT7t6
Im so annoyed I can't help but eavesdrop, I think they forgot about me, their voices are a bit louder. I walk up, coming a little closer to them, hearing what they have to say.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAlDPt4bvAuf
"Theo was about to open his mouth, if we hadn't reached in time-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyopRsAT38J
"But we did." Stan cuts her off.
570Please respect copyright.PENANArGjVpopy7T
"But-" once again Nikira is cut off.
570Please respect copyright.PENANASWTXnSN8RE
"No buts, she doesn't know, she won't know anything until her memories are back."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAXkXKGZkyw
"Thats what I'm scared about." Nikira says, timidly.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7RcYKSjHU2
"Are you trying to hide the truth from her? And you say she's so close to you she's almost like a sister." Stan questions her, raising his eyebrow in concern.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgvQsAz6M8B
Nikira feels that way for me?!?
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ6hy5hvN5
"You don't understand, when she finds out about everything that's it. She'll be back to suicidal mode, dying for her people, dying for selfish, evil, and cruel people. I can't let her go stan." She's now whispering, she sounds as if she's crying. "If she tries to do exactly what she did then, I'm going take my life. Not let her take her own."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOLon8gMnOm
Stan is nodding, and I see tears dribble down his face. "I don't know shit, because I've only been in this world once, but all I'm saying is that we will do everything it takes, everything."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWnwy7ZEUjw
I take a few steps backward, because Nikira starts to turn her head.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJt2zf9EUYg
I don't think about what they said firstly because, Nikira will realize I was eavesdropping, secondly, I'm too shocked.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQcFOy3KEpb
We keep walking for a bit until stan finally speaks up."Let's take a rest, the skies are darkening."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAR0y8CIHCQf
He points at a large oak tree, he quickly runs towards it and takes out some things from his bag.
570Please respect copyright.PENANApFoNAV4MM4
Are you kidding me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANARV1hsLbthL
We cannot sleep outside. No fucking way!
570Please respect copyright.PENANAaD5rQ1NDkT
I groan, I don't know what is in Stan's mind, I am certainly not sleeping outside, under a tree, which I can add to.
In the middle of no where.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvGk4hXuyzZ
"Yes you are." Nikira is watching me with eagle eyes.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAnbMxALa6gI
I don't like the way she is looking at me, it's as if I stole her kidneys.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyqfq8VZMXB
"No." I am not staying outside, in the cold, in the middle of nowhere and sleep in peace. She must be insane to think that.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvIuQu2ukGm
"You scared?" She smirks at me." You know we can always cuddle."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJbLngV1TWB
I swear at her, I don't have time for snuggles and cuddles. I want to get the hell out of here.
I am having a bad feeling about this place.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMFmgQm4XwT
"What if we get killed, whilst we are sleeping." I ask, that is my main concern.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA96SgMTh7f1
"Are you serious? Nobody wants you dead, they want to alive. So cut the crap " Nikira walks over to Stan, helping him make something to eat.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAfX3p96jko1
What crap do I have to cut? I haven't pooped since this morning.
I'll keep it in mind when I use the bushes in the night.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPLlS0Z0FHc
Which reminds me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8axqqvIzQA
"How am I supposed wipe my butt if I need to shit?" I laugh when I see their faces, they didn't plan on how to wipe your bottom.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAA5xvDXf8OC
"With leaves, if they're under your standard hold your crap." Stan rudely suggests, who even holds their crap?
570Please respect copyright.PENANAel49xqgWM0
That is pure bull.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbBFtpJR4yu
"Whatever." I sigh, and walk up to them. "I'm hungry, what are you making?"
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWcx0xRoG7p
"Your morning meal, you eat too much. Let fresh air be your supper." Nikira giggles, trying to make to make me laugh.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA5DhNOYkudj
I growl. "since when did I become fat!"
570Please respect copyright.PENANA20s29Rx9iG
"No one said-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7eHthU57qL
"You basically did-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANAxkwFZR9IwT
"What is wrong with you? Can't you take a joke. I am so tired of hearing you leak your mouth. Shut up!" Stan butts in, giving me a cold stare.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAl2UBTBxYue
This man needs help. Can't wait for him to fuck up Nikira's feelings. - I say peacefully in my head.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAO3m2Jw7YGl
It's so true, stan is always there for Nikira. And Nikira is what? A minute older than me, a minute and 32 seconds more glorious than me. This is wrong.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyBZ34bCj7l
Aged gap love.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAkDAX3WldZv
And she aparently has a one.
Is she cheating already?
570Please respect copyright.PENANAYymJCu09nF
Gross.
570Please respect copyright.PENANACWHm2D43EX
Nikira, who reads my mind forever, glares at me. Her hand is raised, she is about to slap me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAROxQDcMjgO
But then all of a sudden, she drops her hand and opens her mouth. Wide.
570Please respect copyright.PENANALAJ88m5uen
"How do you know I'm a minute older than you?" Her eyes literally pop out of it's sockets. "H-how do you know I'm one minute 32 seconds older than you."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAoOXPIDF1fB
Um.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAR0kBzm8hTu
"um..I think you told me, when we were you know..bonding." I reply, not actually sure.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuugIWjedVP
"B-but I we never mentioned that. Ever." She turns to Stan and whispers. "It can't be possible.."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUzytbgAduY
Stan has the same face as Nikira right now. "But theo Said-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANASs7fsEzQ6W
"It's because of her visions, they're helping her remember things. Bit by bit." Nikira looks so scared, I'd want to go and wrap my arms around her.
But then I think again.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAXzkE9LOdd8
My memories are returning, and I don't even realize it.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAURVeSyCEiT
Both stan and Nikira looks at me, they have the most horrific expressions on their face.
570Please respect copyright.PENANACtLR9tnxhQ
I can't stand around watching them, so I turn around use my coat as a cover and shut my eyes. Ignoring the fact that my stomach wants to be fed. Or that a serial killer could be roaming around, looking for me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhBDgzLdVEq
-------
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyr5PyQAqBX
I wake up early, because both stan and Nikira are sleeping. And the sky hasn't full brightened yet.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAh5SD4S6ryI
I try to get up, but I feel Nikira's arms wrapped around me.
Seriously.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAoDNT3lmQkB
I remove them gently off my waist, and get up. My stomach, who is probably mad at me, is screaming at me to feed it.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcDD8wwvezu
I look over to see there's some fruit in Stan's bag, which he most likely forgot to zip.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWKnY4qS6f1
My eyes stick on the fruit, bananas, apples, pears and my favorite blueberries.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA980GZI3uG5
I run toward it and start eating like a madman, I peel the bananas and stuff them in my mouth. Savouring every one.
I get water from my bag, and wash the blueberries and stuff them in my face.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6t5oecuNTQ
When I am finally full, I realize how evil I was. I only left one miserable pear.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEtDrmWHt2Z
It wouldn't hurt to give it one bite would it? I try to behave, but I can't. I eat the whole thing, even the stick is gone.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmcQRUtiYTQ
Man was I hungry.
570Please respect copyright.PENANACrMLPS8C5X
I quickly try and go back to sleep, pretending that I didn't do anything.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7mD3jvzdDX
"And you didn't atleast let me have that last pear?"
570Please respect copyright.PENANA5dDa2zrilA
Shit.
570Please respect copyright.PENANARBTMxVz9r9
Stan laughs. "I watched you eat everything, I knew it was going to happen. So I put the proper food in nik's bag."
570Please respect copyright.PENANALhBvXDUtsD
I only call her Nik, nobody else.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAH8MlYt7uLD
"Good for you." I walk away, I'm not interested.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAaULuopINCZ
He tugs my arm, and drags me back, I give him my most coldest, darkest glare. "What the fuck do you want?!?" I yell, causing Nikira to wake up.
I just wanted a stress free morning, which includes no talking to the other two people who have 'trust issues'.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAsxam8wFKhd
"Scar stop making a fuss of everything, your doing my head in." Nikira complains, giving me a cold, dark glare.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7UrLnf9J7z
I wanted to scream 'f-u' to her, but I know what that'll be asking for.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmZKKdFi74d
Stan's slaps.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAlk2RElyjMF
I have no spare clothes so I just roam through my bag, which has some items I had when I was a kid.
A small sculpture of two girls hugging, faces hidden, ribbons, blue and grey, and a toy.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAx6lnDFB4Vu
The toy is the item I hate the most, it has stitches all over itself with bruises on top of them. It looks worse than the woman wrapped in black silk.
I hate it, but I have no choice but to carry it with me, when I was fifteen I cut it's fingers off because they looked creepy.
Before I realized it, blood was seeping out of my fingers, which were attacked to my hands.
And when I turned back to the toy, it had it's fingers back on, with blood seeping through it.
570Please respect copyright.PENANACOPoymg2Hr
Ever since that incident I treat is with care and love, because whatever I do to it, it will backfire anything back to me. So in the end I give it a name called Ms.Juju.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAPtCXL4I5ij
"You still have that thing." I forgot about stan, who was hovering behind me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAnq2AMV10a1
I ignore him, I stuff the voodoo doll and the other stuff in my bag, I get up and start walking in the direct we left off.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA1WnvNZv7Ng
"Where are you going?" Nikira yells behind me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANADWkh0T8G13
"If we don't hurry, we won't get there in time. Will we?" I reply casually, without turning around.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAy9NOMeAcRk
I hear scrambling and whining, my feet are moving as slow as a turtle's.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmipA8wpDQy
Nikira whines about her hair, and how Damon will think she's ugly when she meets him.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhVZIReXp2P
Stan starts yelling my name, saying it's an order for me to come.
Blah, blah, blah.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVAUeshXXal
Me, well I just carry on walking as of there's nothing going on in the world, I walk up a bit faster.
I hear Nikira panting, she's swearing and saying stuff in a different language.
Which I understand...
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcFjIJ1fvYJ
"why, why can't you bloody be normal. Why can't you be who you was, why can't we pick up from me left of." I understood every word she said. That's when I turn around.
570Please respect copyright.PENANArnVOJ24BNx
"I'm sorry, but this is who I am." I sigh, she just carries on crying. She quickly lifts up her head and raises her eyebrow.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgRtUsxtMRc
She gives me the same look, the exact same look, when I told her she was 1 minute 32 seconds older than me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6WFHFxfH3c
She screams, and this time she runs up to me and hugs me. I think she's ready for me to return.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUzosKjgydd
"Oh scar..." Is all I hear
570Please respect copyright.PENANABYsA4QOqkS
#NIKIRA'S P.O.V#
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6CiDpcFaNf
I'm out of breath from running after scar. This girl can be such a bitch, these days her in is more twisted musings than before, stan has changed her so much.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAaVbXgvBfkn
I still can't believe she thinks I have a thing for stan. For STAN!!!
Come on, stan isn't boyfriend material, stan isn't even love material. Plus I've got Damon, he's the only person, apart from scar, who's kept me in pieces.
570Please respect copyright.PENANABFJgO7bmOO
Whatever coughed up in scar's weird brain should choke itself out, or I'll pull it out myself.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA4yd632YE4r
I'm so frustrated, I speak in dang-ga language, I don't have the strength to call out on her.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAyWFEPga9tG
"why, why can't you bloody be normal. Why can't you be who you used to be, why can't we pick up from me left of." I'm tired, tired of her being trapped in her own little world, I want my scar back, I want my best friend who I call a sister, back.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAE7RzWmThAg
That's when she turns around, she has a what-the-hell-did-you-say look, but when I look closer she looks a bit shaky. "I'm sorry, but this us who I am."
I hear her sigh, and that's when I get it, she understood every word I said.
I can even read it off her mind, and I start crying. Proper crying, she's getting her memories back faster than I expected.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhuNoI09KWm
I run up to her her and hug her, I don't want to give the wrong impression, she'll figure out I'm nervous if I don't hug her.
570Please respect copyright.PENANApzdRc6wz3s
I stick my head in her hair and say,"Oh scar..." I can't say anything else, because I'm scared now. Really scared, if she finds out.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA84y9A3aPyu
No, what if she already knows but she's keeping it from me?
570Please respect copyright.PENANAd88UIYDNfD
"Shutup Kiki, you're physic remember.. She only remembers when you mention it. So shut your gob." someone in my head says.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEMaqRJW2A1
I pull away from the hug, and Scarlett gives me a confused look in return. "We have to go. Now." I say sharply, I turn to look for stan but he's right beside me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAb8Ruo59X9f
"Let's go." He says, he's already fed up with this morning chaos already. He starts walking from where we left off, scar and I tag along.
I wipe the last of my tears and say in my head. "She will find out later, she will find out about him later."
570Please respect copyright.PENANASVuJ8fU8ku
I put an arm around scar, and fake a smile. She accepts it, thinking I meant it, and sticks by me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANASjM6InLcsb
We will be fine.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjymb7GglR2
#Scarlett's P.O.V#
570Please respect copyright.PENANAoOW4kHcYbI
"How long to go." I ask, it has been the fifth time i've asked this question in the last minute.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA1AQMlLZ9HJ
"Scar..." Nikira gives me a hard look, I turn away. She lets go of our arms, that were entwined together since we left, and takes the lead.
570Please respect copyright.PENANADptEqGLF2C
We have been walking for miles, we haven't taken the way we started from. It's a completely different way, and I'm pretty sure it's for our protection. Nikira won't stop leaking her mouth anyway.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJIm4VgzGzY
Nikira swears with her back to me. "I didn't mean to say that out loud either. Oops."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAA3emKODBbC
Well I didn't mean to say that out loud.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUUBuruSwaP
"I can see it from here! I See Damon's stall." Nikira is jumping up and down. "I'll meet you there."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQaYGO4TY0q
"Wait.." Stan starts, but it's too late. She's already in the distance, running her legs off. "Might aswell join her."
570Please respect copyright.PENANARXxC8ZH890
Stan chases after Nikira leaving me behind with the rest of the items.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAVF9lr0AD19
And then there was one...
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2BnhWoUHyw
I sigh and pick up the bags stan and Nikira dumped, for me to pick up as their slave, and follow the tracks they left for me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAMZORyuf5e
"Idiots." I mumble.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA9MjwGwsHGf
-------
570Please respect copyright.PENANAuhQDbvsX2w
"Finally Scarlett, what took you so long?" Nikira asks, looking all sweet and innocent.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAHMHURWKLlv
I glare at her, and ignore her question. "Thanks for leaving your bags with me, it really helped me break some bones."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAjc05H1fsM2
Nikira glares back at me and mumbles. "Go with the flow, I'll kill you later."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAl6vpjR1I81
"Cut the crap, I'm assuming that's your boyfriend right behind you..?" I gesture to the guy with ginger hair and green eyes, which sparkle ever so slightly In the light
570Please respect copyright.PENANADCgmKIvCLG
I smile at him, and he laughs. "Yep, that's me. Nikira you okay sweet?" He says without looking at me, his deep voice bouncing in the soft air. She nods at him, then he turns his attention to me and slaps his head. Hard.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAMmgzCfUuPX
"Am I that forgetful? Holy shit. Scar?" He finally looks at me."Scarlett! Answer me." He's shaking my arms, he's eyes glued to my eyes.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAUy1LwCCPm3
Silence...
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbPjgxdV6Ur
Nikira breaks the silence and pulls Damon's arm off mine. "You're freaking her out, calm down babe."
570Please respect copyright.PENANASaCBWq81zT
"But she looked so zoned out, I thought theo helped her. I thought she remembered more. Or atleast me." Damon sighs, Nikira shoots him a questioning look.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAOeM3Rjcped
"What about theo? He didn't do much." Nikira says, her eyes resting on me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgSEBzURX7Y
"If she's remembering things, it's going too slow. I'll try and help her for the week." He rubs his head, "Did you tell her yet? About arth-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmmDdTFkpHX
"Shut up." Nikira snaps, tearing her gaze from me back to her boyfriend.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAAquOrn2lYU
"Nikira! How could you not tell her." Damon is clenching his fists, I can see he's trying to calm down." I would call you a fool, but you'd rip my parts and feed them to me in my sleep, but I won't. If you're trying to hide her from him, you can't. He's here, he's gone to theo, they're talking somewhere about God knows what. But we all know."
570Please respect copyright.PENANARJPcYbh9N4
Everyone looks at me, and I realize stan hasn't said a word. Not one single word.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAmmcs62VmN4
Some other people around Damon's stall is watching us...me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA9FCowc6qlv
"Then we'll leave by nightfall." Nikira whispers. She looks scared. "I'll come back later, just as long as she's safe-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANA7art8Y14aG
"I can protect myself, thank you." I cut in.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAaNYpgIFJes
"Not you can't."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAdR4bPUXvEH
"I can."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAbrivPJ2kOJ
"Can't."
570Please respect copyright.PENANADcrI6f9lL9
"Can."
570Please respect copyright.PENANARceuRDj2Wj
"Can't
570Please respect copyright.PENANAzJoF2YtNWa
"Can-"
570Please respect copyright.PENANA8x6RuNaRfb
"Shutup. Both of you. Why are you acting like two pieces of shit." Stan finally speaks up, he looks over to Damon and gestures to him to let him carry on his little 'speech'.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAR2CEEMq0sB
"Thank you." He looks over to Nikira." You're not leaving until the Swan, you can't just hide scar just because you're afraid of what will happen between them. Let them fix their issues, not you."
570Please respect copyright.PENANARR3VfgJm6q
Nikira looks down at the floor defeated, and just when Damon thought he'd won she says. "You know exactly what happened, I'm not protecting Scarlett, I'm protecting both of them. I don't want the past to repeat itself. Ever."
570Please respect copyright.PENANAJvGr3O5FY2
"It won't, because we are together this time. We know what we're up against, they think we're weaker because Scarlett went. They don't know she's still alive, healthy and strong." Damon emphasizes on the 'they'.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA2hzBzZvurs
And just when I'm about to ask who 'they' is, a young guy walks right up to us. He has a lightly tanned body, his body perfectly sculpted. His arms are bulging out of his clean short-sleeved white tee, and his eyes are what catch my attention. They're blue-greenish, earth, the same colour as my eyes.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAQoesBMi34b
He looks at me, as if he found out he doesn't have cancer anymore, my body tingles."Scar..?"
570Please respect copyright.PENANAwDI5swz9tr
I bite my lip and nod. "Yes?" my voice wavering a bit.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWGer2lxcJO
Why would someone that beautiful want to talk to me?
570Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZug7HHTs
I turn to Nikira and she's bright red, stan is shocked, and Damon is watching every move I make.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAgGfdS7BQhs
I turn around to the guy, to find out he's right up to my chest, the tingling feeling in my body seems to enjoy this, butterflies start dancing in my stomach.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA6s8SCdkMfa
The guy slips his arms around my waist, which makes the tingling even more faster. He pulls me right to his face, and his lips connect to mine.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAImarZioQv5
"I've missed you." He mumbles whilst kissing me.
570Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ws6vLy8oA
And that's when I knew who he was.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAhV99ZqxUqm
Arthur.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAEOR5zDvokL
The hottest being in history, is making out with me.
I kiss him back, because now I understand.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAWBPKS3tD8Z
Arthur is my boyfriend.
570Please respect copyright.PENANATQOrG2bqdZ
The guy that was in my vision with Nikira. He was there for me, and Nikira was trying to make me run away from him.
570Please respect copyright.PENANADi4QNNKr2Q
Everyone around me fades, and my attention is just on arthur.
570Please respect copyright.PENANAvjCgrNLDS8
