Okay I know that the last Chapter was confusing; Jessi doesn't remember Kyle but her body remembers the reaction and presences that were once in her life even though she has no concrete information on who these peoples are. Jessi also remembers being physically injured but why she got injured; point and case her saving Amanda. She remembers holding someone and receiving pain from that experience but she doesn't know why she was protecting the person. Her deal with Kyle is she remember this strong feeling but doesn't remember who Kyle is; the heart never lies kind of goes with this if you get my drift.


The weariness in his body was overpowering; 23 hours, 54 minutes, 21 seconds…that's how long it has been since he had seen his Jessi. Foss had convinced him to stay saying Jessi would come to them but still she was gone and he was stuck training again. But this time Jessi wasn't there to push him forward; the uncontrollable pain in his heart made the pain he felt when Amanda was taken look like a shallow pool. This was so much worse because it was Jessi, his Jessi, the only girl who understood him so well that she could tell him exactly what he was feeling and she didn't even know who he was. The image of Jessi's blank eyes watching him trying to figure out who he was came to mind and it felt like an ice daggers stabbing him in the heart. The words she told him still played in her head. Saligia; the deadly sins but what did it have to do with Jessi's memories; how did she view her life? Or as Foss said each phase in her life.

After getting home yesterday they were questioned about Jessi and Declan was the only one who could respond; Foss was in his truck shaking uncontrollably. Out of all the people he was suffering the most besides Kyle himself was Foss; he had lost his family before and now he finally let someone else in, someone so like him that it was hard for him not to become a dad for her. Kyle knew better then to go against Foss on this matter especially when another constant in both of their lives had been taken away from them. Foss wouldn't allow anyone see that very noticeable pain in him when he got back; it was a lot more difficult for Foss to let go then he let on, even Declan seemed to catch on to that pain.

The family seemed blank unsure of how to handle this; how do you handle something so extreme? The lost of a family member seemed to be heavy on their hearts. Lori and Stephen seemed to take it the hardest; Kyle had no idea how much his family missed Jessi until this moment. Everything that Jessi had done for them seemed to be on the forefront of their minds and the pain of knowing she didn't even know how much she helped them splintered them. Josh was no longer cracking wise ass remarks and Niccole seemed to be on the point of breaking but she would push a strong act forward to help her family.

Kyle's mind turned to back to their reactions when he and Declan first told them.


"Kyle what happened?" Niccole said rushing forward the family not too far behind her.

"She…she…I…couldn't help her." Kyle said almost breaking down.

"What? Is she…is she d-." Niccole began tears welding in her eyes.

"-NO!" Declan interrupted. Their eyes turned to him. "She's alright…but…but she doesn't…"

"Doesn't what?" Stephen asked stepping forward.

"She doesn't remember anything…" Kyle replied.

"WHAT?" Lori inquired loudly.

"Her memories…they have been…" Kyle couldn't even force himself to continue

"…erased…she has no idea…who we are." Declan finished. "Shawn, the man who took her…he erased them…and now he replaced them with…fake memories."

"No." Josh said quietly as he remembered his sister's smiling warmly at them before she went to eat still wounded but happy.

Niccole's tears began to pour down her face as Stephen wrapped his arms around her. His face was pale and looked as he had been punched in the stomach.

Lori ran into Declan's arms crying heavily while Declan just held her unsure of what else to do to comfort his girlfriend.

Josh fell into his chair still in the state of shock; this was the first time Josh looked completely speechless. Kyle stood there unsure of what to do; if Foss was able to he would had told them himself but not even Foss could stand this blow without feeling some pain.


"Kyle are you done yet?" He heard Declan asked. They spent all of last night and this morning training; by Declan's expression he could tell how tired he was.

"Where's Foss?" Declan expression turned grim and he nodded to the truck.

"Oh."

Foss sat in his truck yesterday he had been so sure of himself but now the pain was killing him; he knew how to save Jessi from this fate but he could tell Kyle the meaning of each phase of her life and the words because if he did he would be breaking the contract and risk losing Jessi forever. This whole time Foss had been trying to think of how to pass this knowledge on to Kyle; yesterday he couldn't because Kyle was telling what happened to his family and Foss didn't want to intrude on that moment. True he was in pain but Foss still knew how to think straight and this whole morning Kyle wanted to spend training in order to defeat Shawn but Foss knew better. Shawn's control over Jessi's mind would still be in affect even after his death so that left one alternative; get Kyle thinking of the deathly sins and allow him to figure out what this meant to Jessi.

Kyle and Declan got to the truck seeing that Foss was ready for them; the three of them set off for home not talking. They went into the house the rest of the family seemed happy with the fact that they were home but not as happy as they could have been. "Kyle I need to speak with you." Foss said finally speaking up after what seemed like forever.

"What is it?"

"The doors that Jessi was talking about." Kyle froze and he turned back to Foss; the man seemed strangely distance.

"What about them?" Kyle asked.

"Have you been thinking about them and what I said?" Foss questioned.

"It's the only besides training that I can think about."

"I've been wondering how to get you to understand how Jessi views her life without actually telling you."

"Why can't you just tell me?"

"Because as her secret keeper if I tell you her views on each part of her life the contract formed between the two of us breaks and her memories are lost forever." Kyle felt as though he couldn't breathe. "But only if I tell you the meaning." Kyle looked at him.

"Come on." Kyle led Foss to his room.

Foss looked around for a second and then returned his gaze to Kyle. "As you know there are seven deadly sins; Pride, Greed, Lust or Extravagance, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Discouragement or Sloth correct?"

"Yeah that's right; the Latin terms dignify that Lust was originally Extravagance and Sloth was actually Discouragement."

"Correct…now the fact of the matter is that Jessi sees these different sins as parts of her life for everything done to her and all the bad that she had done. So my question for you is what were her the seven phases of life beside the obvious one of her and Shawn?"

Kyle seemed struck; his memories went back to when she first met her. "Well there was the life she had before she met Madacorp…and then her life as Emily's sister…"

"Okay that's three what are the others?"

"I…I…can't think…her life with us I do know…and then there was also Taylor."

"You're up to five think of her powers now."

Kyle thought for a moment and then it hit him. "The memories of those soldiers that belong to Latnok…and Adam." Foss nodded.

"Then my work here is done."

"Wait what?" Kyle asked.

"I can't help you any more then I have…I'm sorry Kyle but you must figure out with sin belongs to which life and why."

"What will happen when I figure out each meaning?"

"I…I don't know." Kyle looked up surprised.

"Thank you…for everything Foss." Foss nodded and left. Kyle looked at the time 9:29; he then laid in his bed thinking over everything Foss had told him. Where else is there to start besides the beginning. Kyle sank into sleep like world as he had done when trying to determine whether or not to save Jessi. He rose looking around for who he thought would be Adam but instead what he got was Jessi looking at him seemly peaceful.

"Jessi?"

"Not really." Jessi answered.

"You're here to help me figure out the information like before."

"Yes…you are trying to understand me and being one of the people who know me best I'm here to help you."

"Seven lives."

"Seven sins."

Kyle felt a growing irritation in him. "Why do you think like that?"

"You know why."

"Everyone who left you didn't deserve to have your presence in their life."

"And what about the pain I've caused?"

"Pain?"

"The camper, you guys, Lori, Sarah, Kyle you of all people should know what kind of pain I have caused all these people."

"You didn't mean to."

"But I did nonetheless." Jessi replied in a cold tone. "Maybe I don't deserve to remember myself."

"No Jessi, you deserve it more then you could ever imagine."

"It doesn't matter right now; you're wasting time arguing with someone who isn't really there." Kyle looked down knowing that that statement was true.

"Zzyzx."

"What category does it fit?"

"I don't know; it can fit any of them."

"Then let's go down the list. Discouragement or Sloth?"

"But it couldn't be that because Zzyzx didn't discourage Adam from going forth with the project and they weren't lazy in creating us."

"But was I lazy or discouraged?"

"No…you didn't know any better in the beginning."

" Okay then no for Acadia. Pride?

"But you weren't prideful; Zzyzx was but you weren't taught enough to know."

"What does that leave?"

Jessi gave him a look of disbelief. "Greed?"

"No they had everything when they created us so greed most definitely wasn't something that influenced them. Or you."

"Envy?"

"Why would you feel envy though?"

"I don't know why would I feel that?"

"You didn't know what envy was so that wouldn't work and Gluttony wouldn't work either because you weren't taking anything for granted."

"So the answer is Lust or wrath?"

Kyle looked to the ground "When you killed that camper you felt scared…not angry and you definitely didn't know what Lust was yet; if anything he felt lustful towards you trying to harm you." Kyle looked into her eyes; her eyes showed bitterness towards the memory.

"But I did want to escape so much that Lust could have applied in that field. Lust doesn't mean I wanted sex it means the wanting of something without caring who gets hurt."

"But you didn't mean to hurt him…you only meant to save yourself." Jessi took a step forward and touched his arm taking him to the memory.

Kyle felt his eyes clouding and then clearing as the image in front of him made him inhale sharply. Jessi was standing next to him as the other Jessi's arm shot forward taking the knife from the camper. His skin crawled at the expression on his face took in Jessi's naked body and then the knife was thrown into a nearby tree. The man took a step forward and Jessi grabbed him by the neck; a feeling surrounded them; the extreme want to escape this fear inside of her. The memory soon faded and Kyle found himself in his room again.

"You know what I wanted?"

"You wanted to save yourself because you were afraid of him not because you wanted to kill him Jessi."

"But I didn't take him into consideration at all…I allowed myself to hurt him without even thinking it over."

"Jessi…you didn't know what you were doing you thought that because you didn't consider him you were murdering him because of a desire to kill him and that's a lie, you never wanted to hurt that man. You wanted to protect yourself and because of that you hurt him."

"Either way it's what I wanted." Kyle eyes harden. He couldn't break through this Jessi. "Who are you trying to convince me…or you?"

Kyle was taken by surprise. "I know what you did and I know full well that you never intended to harm that man." Jessi looked at him for a minute then nodded.

"Then you know the first Sin."

"Zzyzx."

"What I did to that man…it was like I knew where he was and what he wanted and took his life without mercy. I wanted to kill him"

"You never hunted that man. Or Lust for killing him." Kyle replied. A pain shot in his head he fell to his knees. He felt her; not this fake Jessi created by his mind but the real one. He felt the door open in her mind and he was plunged into her memories before Emily found her. Her waking to a crumbling Zzyzx company and managing to escape, finding the camper and protecting herself, her in park that Kyle only knew way to well, her watching him run by slow down and then continue and finally her by the port drawing what she saw. Kyle felt his stomach churn; he could of saved her this whole time and he didn't even know. Kyle was pulled out of dream and sat up rushing to the bathroom where he vomited into the toilet; this was the first time he had ever been so violently sick. He brushed his teeth and looked into the mirror; he looked pale and sweat covered his whole body. What the hell was that?


Jessi had just finished a mission for Shawn but rather then kill any of the soldiers she simply took their memories and after viewing them once they slipped behind some unseen screen never to be watched again. Jessi didn't like hurting people like Shawn and after every mission the facility would be destroy by Shawn. After finishing up some extra work Jessi sat in the park thinking over when to go see Foss again when a sudden pain entered her. "Hunted" the word activated something and she fell to her knees as the memories flood into her. She saw her exit a destroy facility, approach and kill a hunter, see the boy…Kyle run through the same park that she was in now but he didn't see her and then saw her drawing all that she remember at a port. Jessi felt nauseous but didn't vomit; she breath slowly and felt the sweat run down her face. She knew these were her true memories…the pain of know she killed that man entered her mind. She felt like a monster unable to stop herself from hurting others; the word hunted seemed to go pretty well with what had happened she wanted to kill that man. Jessi was scared…Who am I?

Jessi would ask them. Jessi pulled out her phone and after a few rings he answered. "Foss…we need to talk." Foss knew by the way she said her name that she still didn't know him but something must of have happened.

"When?"

"Tomorrow at noon."

"Okay."

"See you then." The phone went dead and he knew she hung up. Kyle what did you do?


There we go; the first door to Jessi's memory has been opened but what does that mean for Jessi now that she has been painfully reminded what she has done in the past. Please continue reading to find out.

I have finally gotten into how to write this story and I plan to work on it when I can thank you for reading and please review.
