Andy
Instead of turning left down the street, like I normally did to go to school, I kept walking straight. I walked until I saw the familiar sign of the animal clinic. The sign on the door read closed. I opened it, and waited. Deaton came to the counter.
"We're closed." he said but stopped when he saw me.
"I have a problem," I told him. "And you are the only one that I could think of that might know a way to help me solve it."
"I see," Deaton said slowly. He opened the latch on the gate, and opened it. "Come on around back, and we'll see what I can do." I followed him into the back room. He motioned towards a chair and I sat down.
"My little sister is Melody." I started. "She's come here before, with Stiles."
"I do recall seeing her, yes." Deaton nodded. "But that was a few weeks ago."
"I know, she isn't missing. Well, sort of." I sighed. "Our parents, they've come to town. They want Melody, Ethan, Aiden and I to join them in their pack. Each one of us refused, and they took matters into their own hands. They caught my sister when she was alone, and they did something to her," I shuddered.
"What did they do?" Deaton narrowed his eyes.
"I don't know," I shook my head. "She came home the other day, and she was different. She acted strange. She had suddenly changed her mind, and wanted to join our parents. She said she wanted to be stronger. She suddenly craved power. When Derek walked in, she didn't know who he was,"
"They took away her memories of him," Deaton nodded.
"Not just of Derek," I shook my head. "They took away her memories of Isaac and Lydia and Allison and Scott and Stiles. She doesn't remember our pack at all."
"Alphas can take away memories, but to take away that many memories is a very tough thing for one to do without their being any malfunctions." Deaton muttered.
"Malfunctions?" I frowned. I thought for a moment, and smiled. "Like remembering everything at night, but forgetting it all in the day?"
"Yes," Deaton nodded. "That could be one, why?"
"Because that's what is happening to Melody." I told him. "It completely slipped my mind for a while. She called me last night, and she was scared. She remembered everything. She said they come back to her at night, but she forgets everything during the day."
"Then she hasn't completely forgotten. Her memories are still there. Think of it like this. Her memories are merely subdued, and can be awoken." Deaton told me.
"Well how do we awaken them?" I asked.
"The same thing happened to Isaac once," Deaton started. "Deucalion took his memory away."
"How did you get it back?" I pressed. I can help her. I can help Melody.
"There is a certain procedure that we must go through. Bring Melody here, and I will try to help her." Deaton told me.
"Thank you." I nodded. "I'll bring her tomorrow." I walked out the front door, and took a deep breath. I know what I promised Derek, but I can't do this. I've never gone through a full moon without Melody. I don't think I'll be able to keep control without her. I have to be with her. I started walking in the direction of Vicky's and Duke's house. When I reached the door, I didn't bother knocking. I just walked right in. Duke swung around, his eyes locking with mine. Their pack was there too, sitting in the living room. Melody wasn't there. But someone else was. Maddy. She noticed me at the same time.
"Andy," she started.
"Maddy, I know why you are here." I sighed.
"You do?" Maddy frowned.
"Yeah," I nodded. "I can get Melody back on my own. You don't need to do this," I told her.
"You think she's here to help you get your sister back?" Duke laughed. "How adorable! Your so blind to the truth!"
"What is he talking about?" I asked Maddy. She looked at the ground so she wouldn't look me in the eye.
"You're smart, Andy," Duke grinned. "I really thought you would figure it out."
"You should have noticed when she helped you fight the demonic ninjas," Vicky laughed. "She was stronger than an omega should be."
"She was never an omega," Duke scoffed. "We found her after your pack was slaughtered. She's been with bus ever since,"
"Maddy?" I asked. "Is it true?"
"Yes." she muttered.
"You guys are getting pretty close, I hear." Vicky continued. "Maddy, I assume you told him? He looks pretty fine with it. I wouldn't be!"
"Vicky, please." Maddy's eyes widened. "Don't."
"Keeping secrets from each other already?" Duke chuckled.
"When you told Allison that her family shot at her, what was her reaction?" Vicky asked.
"She didn't know what I was talking about," I scoffed. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything." Duke answered. "Here's a fun fact, the Argents didn't shoot at you. They were retired long before that."
"But we know who did," Vicky grinned. "We know who really, shot at you and your sister and then left you for dead."
"If you know, then tell me." I hissed, clenching my fists.
"Andy," Maddy said quietly. "I did."
It was Maddy! Why do you think she did it? And do you think Andy will be able to get Melody to go to Deaton? Please review!
