Gods and Monsters

-Chapter 11: Foreign Memories-

A soft gentle breeze brush the side of her cheek. She opens her eyes slowly to only to be staring up at a clear blue sky. The young girl sat up, only to find herself on the ground, and her surroundings to be a small garden. Her grey-blue eyes scanning the area around her. It was a small garden, next to a beautiful mansion she never seen before.

'Impossible... There's no way I could have been here, but yet... I feel like I have.' She thought as she touch her the side of head, processing what's going on. Her head was on fire, felt like it was about to explode. She felt herself carried by Sebastian or Joseph, then everything went black. Did she get separated again? If so, she better start looking for them, before you-know-who finds her before they do.

Amelia gets off the ground only to find herself slightly tripping over by a tug of her clothing. She look down in shock and confusion to find herself in a red dress with a white collar around her neck. It felt old to the girl since it's been a very long time since she wear something like this, but either way it look rather odd. Yet it feels... content like she's used to this.

She looks around to see her surrounding to appear peaceful. No sign of any blood, decay, or any of those creatures. It as if it was all a dream. It wasn't, because she remembers it all, and she knows for a fact she never been here, nor ever likely would in real life.

"What's going on?" She said to herself. She walks through the garden, looking around in amazement. Never has she ever been into a place like this, but yet why does-

"There you are."

Amelia stop, turned around to see a tall man with short blonde hair, who appears to be in his early forties, or a little later.. He has slight medium blonde beard with a mustache that curl downwards. He is wearing a dark brown suit, golden brown waist-coat, with white shirt and grey neckerchief. She stare at him as she watch him walk towards her. His face showed a slight disappointment. It made her felt a little ashamed, a smidge, but why?

"Father." The word escape out of her lips before she could stop it. It came out almost naturally like she knows who he is.

The man, or father she called him, stood in front of her staring down at her with a stern expression. He looked around them. "Where is Ruben?"

"...Ruben?"

"Find your brother, and make your appearances inside. We have important guests here. I want the both of you to be civil, we cannot disgrace the Victoriano name. " He said as he put his hand on her shoulder. A part of her wanted to brush his hand off, considering she don't even know him. Yet another part felt like she did. Like he was her father. The feeling of his hand on her shoulder gave her a slight comfort, knowing her own parent is counting on her, but yet he isn't her parent. Is she experiencing someone else's memory? "Ruben listens to you. That son of mine needs to focus more on the family's status then meddling in childish affairs."

She nodded, although she felt slightly annoyed of him for talking down on this Ruben. "Of course..." She said, feeling slight strange to all this. Most of the words escape her mouth before she could stop or notice them.

The man seem content with her answer, and head straight towards the mansion. Leaving her alone in the garden.

"Father is the one who needs to focus on us."

Amelia turned around to see a young boy, looking similar to the man who just left. He looked about 10, maybe even younger. He is wearing a formal clothing of a black dress pants, a white shirt, a black waist coat and a red tie with brown shoes. His eyes look similar to hers, but they were more blue. In them held intelligent, knowledge, but underneath she could see a child side in them. It made her felt slightly young due to his look. A smile spread out across her face before she could even notice. This must be Ruben, the man's son and her supposedly brother. He looked... familiar to her.

"There you are." She said, almost mentally shock at what she said, but yet her body act naturally. Almost as if she was being controlled or possess.

"It wasn't fun if you didn't continue to look for me."

"We were playing hide and seek?"

The young boy laugh. "Of course. How could you forget so quickly?"

"Sorry... father distracted me." Amelia said. Her body was saying things she didn't want to say. That man wasn't her father, but yet her mouth lets it out with ease. Like it was normal.

Ruben looks towards the mansion with a sour expression. "I don't want to go in there. They will... look at me funny. Father will be very displeased with me, as usual."

A small giggle escape Amelia's lips. The look on his face made her do it. "Why don't we play a little more then? Let father get mad, it's the same as always." She said as she walk forward and gently tap his shoulder before taking off in the garden towards another part in the area.

She won't deny it. It felt almost... good. It felt good to feel normal again. How long has it been since she act like this? Especially with a sibling(Well she didn't expect a younger sibling). Even though a huge part of her loves this, but a small part, the reasoning side, is confused on all of this. Why is she feeling this way? Who are these people?

The young boy smiled, begin to chase after her. "Slow down! You know you're faster than me. Your body is more matured than mine." He said, as she continue to run, giggling with excitement. "Slow down, Laura!"

Amelia's eyes widen in shock at the name. Her body stopping in place, allowing her free control over it. That name, she knows that name. There's no way. She knows it is not impossible. Laura...

"Laura?"

Amelia didn't say anything, her mind still processing, but this is enough for her to realize what is going on. Her eyes narrowing with anger and shock as her hands bawled up into a fist.

"Laura-"

"That's not my name." She finally speaks.

"Of course it is, Laura-"

"That's not my name!" She yells. Her body began to shake with rage or fear, maybe both. Her hands trembling as her thoughts rambling in her mind. She doesn't want to turn around to face him, not wanting to look at his face, because she knows he is. "My name is Amelia."

"Amelia? Laura are you-"

"I'm not Laura!" Amelia yelled again. Her head began to ache in pain on the side. Her hand hold the spot to try to stop the pain, but it was coming in small pulse. Her heart beating fast due to it, but most of all because of what was going on. Slow steady breathing, she spoke. "I'm not her..."

"... You will be very soon."

Amelia turned around to frown at Ruben who slowly change to Ruvik as their surrounding and atmosphere darken. Her eyes narrowing at the sight of him. He had an amuse expression on his face, probably due to that fact she figured it out right away. She knew this was his doing, and that boy was him. This all makes sense now to her.

"Monster... you're putting the memories in my mind... almost to make think I am her." Amelia hissed as the pain increase more. Her skull feeling like it was about to crack. Anger was mostly taking over her fear. She won't let him do this her. "I won't let you make me a shell for your sister..."

That was his goal. That was what made her fear him, run away from him. He wanted, no, is trying to turn her into his dead sister. She didn't want to believe it at first, but his notes were in exact detail about all. His words describe how serious he was about it. How obsess he was with it. The way he spoke so highly of her... almost as if he will do anything to have her back, in this case he would.

"Little Wolf, how wrong you are. It's already too late for you. Your mind is on the verge of breaking." He reach his hands out, only to teleport in front of her. Amelia jumped, but to find herself not able to move. Before she could do or say anything, his hand touch the side of her cheek as a dark look appear on his face. Then her entire world goes black once more.


A/N: Thanks for the lovely reviews, favs, and alerts! Yes, it does motivate me, and thank you guys^^ I appreciate it! Sorry if this was a short, rush chapter, I wanted this out of the way. Dun dun dun da! It's been revealed on why Ruvik wants her. I know some of you already figure it out before this XD I wanted this out of the way, it was kind of annoying the heck out of me. Now you know.

I'm not sure how Ruvik's parents act, because there wasn't that much about them:/ So this is how I picture them to be due to Ruvik's notes in the game about them. I'm sorry if I make his father OOC.

Next chapter it will go back to Sebastian and Joseph:P
