After the show, Savvy's chambers
When Damon entered the room, Savvy was reclining on a couch, finally getting some relaxation time.
"Ahem," he announced his presence by clearing his throat. Savvy looked over tiredly and waved in response. Damon glowered but said nothing, only motioned out side the door. The teenager shuffled meekly into the room but squared his shoulders when Damon cuffed him on the head.
"This is your new servant and bodyguard," he informed her. "He will get you anything you want. Got it?" She nodded her head and closed her eyes again. Damon shook his head in disgust at her lack of respect but managed to walk out of the room without blowing anything up.
The boy ground his teeth nervously and stared at Savvy until she opened her eyes and fixed him with a stare.
"Yes?" she inquired impatiently.
"Nothing, milady," he whispered softly. Savvy shook her head and said, "It's just Savvy, none of that milady crap." He nodded his head quickly, practically ripping his neck off in his eagerness to please. Savvy rolled her eyes and went back to sleep.
Hallway, 5 days later
"Laramie, my coat please," Savvy's command echoed off the slimy walls as they trudged back from yet another concert. Laramie tripped over his feet running towards her and Savvy let out a small giggle.
"Thanks, Lar, I needed that," she told him. "You're welcome," he responded in a gravely tone.
They stopped before her chambers and Lar hurriedly opened the door and stepped out of the way so she could pass through. She quickly changed into more comfortable clothes and they both settled on her couch for a quick game of cards.
"I have an idea," Lar proposed as he cut the deck and shuffled. "Whoever loses the hand has to answer one question truthfully. Sound good?" He began to deal without even waiting for Savvy's consent. She thought about it and shrugged. "Why not?" she responded.
2 hours and many hands later
"Alright, what was your life like before this?" Lar asked Savvy as she took a sip of soda. She appeared thoughtful for a moment before a look of horror came over her face.
"Oh my god, Lar," she whimpered. "I can't remember. This past week I felt as if I was missing something and now I know what it is. My memory." She gripped the edge of the couch as her face turned as white as a sheet and she looked ready to throw up. She scrunched up her face in concentration, trying to get one glimpse of the life she had before stardom, but nothing would come. Tears dripped down her face freely as se became truly scared.
"Shh, it's okay," Lar reassured her, placing a comforting arm around her and drawing her close. She turned her face into his chest and began to sob as he began to gently run his fingers through her hair.
"I think I can help," he told her as she sat up and wiped her eyes, ready to listen. "I have this amulet that when the spell is invoked, can most of the time, help bring a persons memory back. Want me to go get it?" he asked. She gripped his arm in desperation and nodded vigorously. He jumped from the bed and sprinted out the door.
15 minutes later
Lar's feet pounded the ground as he raced towards Savvy's rooms with the amulet in hand. He stopped respectful distance from her door and listened before knocking.
"Knock it off Damon," Savvy's voiced came muffled through the wall. "I'm not in the mood." Lar could hear Damon's responding growl and Savvy's moan of protest before it dawned on him what was happening. He scowled and opened the door without knocking.
Damon lifted his face from Savvy's to look at who had interrupted them. Lar stood in the doorway, a curious and disgusted look on his face as he viewed the scene before him. Savvy had a red hand shaped mark in her left cheek, her top was in shreds, her lips bruised and her hair a tangled mess. Damon on the other hand had his pants unbuckled and his shirt untucked as he glared at the teenager.
"Sor..sorry," Lar stuttered out as an apology. "It's alright, Lar," Savvy said, pushing Damon off her and sitting upright, her hands automatically going to her hair to straighten it up. Damon got up and stalked towards the door, glaring one last time before passing Lar. Just then Lar sneezed and tripped into Damon who was slammed into the moldy wall, his jacket covered in mold and snot.
"Sorry sir," Lar said, horrified as he attempted to clean off Damon's jacket. Damon brushed him off and ran out of the room.
Lar hurried over to Savvy and looked her in the eyes.
"That was on purpose, wasn't it?" Savvy asked him. He nodded, smiling a little. She giggled and grinned at him as she patted the couch cushion next to her, indicating he should sit.
He sat down and touched her cheek gently where the handprint lay before grabbing a new shirt from the pile next to him. He handed it to her silently and she put it on with a blush heated her cheeks.
"I have the amulet," he informed her while taking it from his pocket. "Just give me a second to prepare the spell."
Lar tried desperately to remember the incantation that invoked the charm but he couldn't come up with anything. The previous owner's words echoed in his head. "If it comes from the heart, it will be true."
"Ok, close your eyes," he whispered, placing the amulet around her neck and taking a step back.
He took a deep breath before beginning:
Remember, I will still be here Remember, when your dreams have ended
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Time can be transcended
Just remember me
Lar began to take off the fake beard and mustache that graced his face before returning to the song.
I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly, I'm with you
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun
Whenever you tell, my story
For I am all I've done
He then took out the contact lenses that hid his
Remember, I will still be here I am the one voice in the cold wind, that whispers
As long as you hold me, in your memory
Remember me
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky
He started towards Savvy, reaching out hand to touch her, but pulling back at the last second.
As long as I still can reach out, and touch you Remember, I'll never leave you Remember me... Remember, I will still be here
Then I will never die
If you will only
Remember me
As long as you hold me
In your memory
He stood next to her as he sang the last lines of the song, waiting for her to open her eyes and remember.
Remember, when your dreams have ended Remember me
Time can be transcended
I live forever
Remember me
Remember... me...
Savvy's eyes fluttered as if she was reading a book at a very fast pace. Her body went limp and she fell back against the bed, convulsing as tears rolled down her face. After and minute, she opened her eyes and a hazy vision swam before them.
"Logan?" she murmured groggily. "Is that you?" Logan smiled and reached for her, drawing her into the warmth of his arms as she struggled to understand why he was here.
Sensing her disbelief, he explained "I came to rescue you. You didn't think I would leave you all alone, did you?" Savvy smiled and snuggled closer before jerking upright.
"Oh God!" she exclaimed. "Damon! What if he comes back in here?"
"Shhh, don't worry," he soothed. "He was just here." His gaze hardened at the memory of what he had been doing to Savvy came back. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" he asked, checking her all over. She giggled and shook her head.
"You came just in time," she told him. "He barely even touched me. Ummm, thanks for saving me and all, but how are we getting out of here? I mean, we're underground, we can't exactly just walk out."
"Don't worry, I've got it all planned out, including Damon and Madam Gulra's destruction. Now, here's what you do."
