Memories unite

I was stuck in some bright room trapped with a sick weak Damon. I know from pat experience that Damon is not the most pleasant person when he's sick. He spoke.

"That was a different reaction than I was expecting of you Eb."

"So it is you, Its been a long time no see. It's been even longer since I've been called Eb except for by Jasper who took forever to recognize me."

"Yeah, it has been a long time." He did a weak smile.

"How'd you know?"

"I recognized your face and your anger against Stefan, always. You haven't changed much."

"Which incident were you referring to?

"that reminds me of you too. You always have a. d. d. moments back to the beginning of a conversation."

"Sorry."

"Both reactions actually, the fact that you shoved me over and spit at me and threatened me, and the fact that you remember to hate Jasper, but fell in love with Jasper."

"I thought you were dead, I didn't believe you were alive till after I shoved ya down. I didn't think a dead person would be too concerned who all I date."

"Probably a good theory to live by. Just make sure the person is dead next time, kay?"

"Yup"

"why do you listen to me? Last I remember, I was private, you were captain, and Jasper was sergeant."

"True, but even then, I followed most of your orders. I would actually be private with you, but I was an amazing shot and learned how to strategize under extra orders. What did Stefan do to you? You look just terrible."

"He drugged me through Caroline, took away my ring, and keeps me in the stinkin' sun. It burns. Apparently it was under your orders too."

"I didn't order him to do that, Carlisle thought he would act like family and simply talk to you. If you kept killing people, I would have ta kill ya." I looked up at the ceiling and slightly teared up.

"You better not be crying."

"I'm not. I'm not that soft, you know that. It's just hard to kill your best friend"

"It has been almost a hundred years since I knew you well. Why?"

"because you're killing people, I'm a hunter. I kill things that try to kill humans. That's what I do. I kill monsters."

"Now, that's harsh. I was actually looking for why it would be so hard to kill me?"

"Because you were my best friend. You were even better than Jasper. You were almost family which puts you in a higher rank than Jasper. I couldn't possibly find the heart to destroy you like that, that's just plain cruel. Unless you'd been slaying people left and right. But I know that's not true, because you've talked to me and I can tell you still have a heart."

"You remember me very well in the beginning, I'm surprised you don't know me from later."

"When?"

"When you lost your memory."

"Which time?

"The time before Dean found you when you remembered the mystery creature. (I gave a funny surprised look) Yeah, that was me. I found you on the road before the others, but I didn't recognize you as Eb at the time. I drank some of your blood and replaced your memory with a fictitious being.." The I remembered everything except for 1920-1920 and the 1930's. those were still missing for some odd reason.

"Is that why I have this scar?" and I showed him my right shoulder. It had a funny scar-bruise on it that looked like someone took a huge bite out of me.

"Probably sorry, you do know I wasn't the first one to do that don't you? I bit the same spot as something else. I didn't realize until after who you were."

"I know I don't blame you at all."

"Why? I did."

"You didn't mean to and would of restrained if I was really street person number four. I forgive ya. It's perfectly fine. You did no harm." He seemed to relax just a little.

"So emz, what happened to you after that battle day?"

"Please hold the traitor comment until I'm done okay?"

"Sure. Why would I call you traitor?"

"On the fourth day of that battle (when the creature came) I ran back from our regiment and back to main camp. I told the lead officer our regiment had all been killed the day before. I was asked if I wished to be in a new regiment or if I wished to go back home-back to the Creighton's house anyway. You may have known my brother Bill. He was in the twin regiment fighting next by with us. That's the camp I went back to. Anyways, I chose to go home and I stayed a few days at home in Illinois doing the normal 'mans' farm work-I plowed fields and things like that. I helped mainly Jethro but sometimes Jenny in the fields. Jethro and I found Eb(enezer)-who you can probably could guess I took the name from-in the woods and I knew the soldiers would be out looking for him. They would recognize me depending on which men and put me in jail for treason because Eb fought North. I hid myself and him even to where Jethro couldn't find us and I took extra care of him and me. He told me he wanted to go back more than anything. I knew he couldn't go back and so did he. He was my favorite cousin so I tried my best for him. I did something I never thought of doing before. I took him to D. C. to talk to Lincoln in the white house. I didn't know if it was smart or dumb because I wasn't completely sure I still agreed with all the theories I had when I came into the war, but I don't necessarily agree with all of Lincolns either. It took a while so I did a lot of thinking and realized what a mess we would be in if the country was torn into thirds like that. He fixed Eb's problem and gave him a clean record and shipped him in at the next possible time which was in five minutes. He prepared and left again. Then I was talking to Lincoln by myself. I explained how I had fought on the South. He didn't care. He helped me think things over and eh understood. He convinced me to go back to war on the North. I was in training and he got to see my practice to make the cut. We did a lot of target shooting and I never missed- as you probably know I rarely missed and would take out the cannon shooters. I impressed both Lincoln and McClellan. I also told Lincoln I was able to take out bullets so amputations weren't as necessary in my camp if I could get to them. You probably remember that too. I've taken several bullets out of you."

"Yup and I also remember that they hurt like h*** to go in and especially to have taken out again."

"I know, you and Jasper have taken some bullets out of me too." I showed him my other shoulder that has two bullet holes in it between the shoulder and the neck in the gap of the collar bone.

"Keep going."

"I was placed in Grants regiment in the west where I was surprised to see my brother John. I had to tell him not to give me away and to pretend We had just met. To him I became Eb not Em. After a year and saving 238 men total of both sides and 197 saved from death total, we met up with Lee's army. We fought Gettysburg. It was difficult to make sure you weren't shooting your friends because you know that's who part of our command had been under. I didn't know if he rotated men or not. Lee surrendered at Apattomax so not many had to die. I missed the surrender though. Two weeks beforehand some of us who could take bullets and take them back out ( so our best soldiers) were shortly moved to Sherman's regiment for the march to the sea wining the war in the east the same day as the west. Once the war was over I stayed with Bill for a while -which you probably also know because we lived close by to you. I later joined the Union Pacific Railroad in the race for the transcontinental railroad. I defeated the uprising Indians-that's ironic. That's the song I last listened to at home and it came up in my speech- anyway, I helped finish the railroad and got to nail the mixed spike in. Then I was a cowboy and did a lot of cattle drives. When that ended, I fought in the Indian wars. I moved west and got somewhat of a life."

"You missed the whole I can't age thing. That had to have come sometime close to when you left, because you don't look all that different."

"Two explanations. Have you ever read any of the Twilight books everyone keeps making a big deal of?"

"Why?"

"Because if you did this would be so much easier to explain. The first explanation anyway. You should get the second."

"Yeah I read the first three on accident."

"Good, never read the fourth one. If you do, skip the beginning. Anyway, you now Jacob Black, the werewolf that I like so much better than Edward."

"Yeah, by the way me too."

"Well I'm kinda like him, but I also turn into a hawk. I have been for a long time, I just forgot. Second: you know the thing that attacked you on that field that stopped you from aging for a couple years, I got attacked too only it was a wasle of a bit little. I was delayed from going to the Creighton place."

"How'd you know it stopped me from aging? I'm a vampire."

"Because I saw you after the war when I was staying with Bill. By the way I hate Catherine. You didn't look much older than that battle when you should have looked two or three years older."

"Stopped aging thanks to it, then I was vamped the day before my birthday."

"Stupid C…"

"Please don't say her name."

"Fine. Do you even know what she did to you two?"

"Yup, that's why when I get out I'm gonna find her and kill her. She deserves a stake even if she was my first…"

"No, end the thought. I hate her and I hate the thought that you two didn't and actually liked her."

"Yeah, you're also a girl."

"Yeah, but you didn't know that until recently did you?"

"Actually,"

"What?"

"I figured it out second year in the regiment."

"How?"

"Observations and conclusions, also it wasn't unheard of you weren't the first."

"Like what?"

"You were somewhat more emotional though you hid it well from everyone else, and you never once grew facial hair through the three years I knew you."

"You're a lot smarter than I thought. Why didn't say anything."

"I didn't want to freak you out or get you into trouble."

"Thanks for not turning me in."

"Hey its your dream, you know what, maybe I should have, I let you build the skills to beat me at everything by keeping you in."

"I would have worked them up anyway. This is a dream? Well, I probably would have snooked back in."

"I figured. Yes, and what kind of word is snooked?"

"A word of my imagination I use in my dreams and to my friends."

"Creative. Aww crap!"

"What?"

"you have to pretend that you don't know me."

"Why?"

"Zack is waking up."

"And what does that have to do with anything?"

"He can't know I know you."

"Why?"

"All part of the plan. Now, start acting."

"By the way, sorry in advance for any mean names I call you."-me Then he want back to looking in pain in the corner and I sat looking bored and mad. Then Zack stood up.

"Hey Zack, can I have my phone, iPod, or Laptop back?"

"Where'd you put it?"

"I didn't put it anywhere. Stupid Stinky Stefan took and hid them. Can you please get them back for me?"

"Why?"

"Because the in pain morning baby is boring."

"Kay, I'll go ask him."

"He's home?"

"Yeah, he came back ten minutes ago. Didn't he come and check on you guys?"

"No, the stinkin jerk only thinks of himself, by the way, can you dim the lights? They're insanely bright."

"Can't do that, sorry."

"Why not?"

"He's a vampire they don't do well in light."

"and me being a vampire can survive in light extremely well?"

"Well you are wearing a ring on the wrong hand I figured that would protect you."

"Well I'm technically protected, but I still get dead blinded by the light like a human staring at the sun. Can you please tone down the light?"

"sure, and I'll get your stuff from Stefan." He turned out the brightest light and ran upstairs. Now there was only a small column of light.

"Thanks for that."-Damon

"For what? I didn't do anything."

"The light."

"Well, no problem. Sorry about the name calling."

"No problem. You made it look real enough. He bought it, don't worry 'bout the names."

Zack came back downstairs.

"Here."-Zack Zack threw me my electronics.

"Thanks."

"Oh, Emz, Adam is here. He wants to tell you his…" we could hear a loud thump, thump, thump coming from the stairs. I smelled and saw Adam from out of the opening in the door.

"Emily!"

"Adam! Zack let me out." And he did. Damon sat still in the corner.

"Damon, stay or I swear I will hurt you." I hugged Adam with the door open. Damon didn't make any escape.

"Emz, I have really good news."

"What?"

"I'm opening a school."

"where?" I didn't look the most thrilled.

"Dean bought me a hotel with a pool and since this may be your dream, he had unlimited money to spend on it."

"That's cool. Who are you going to school and when?"

"After your babysitt… I mean your guard duties are up, I hoped you would help me teach others like us."

"The undead, or the gifted?"

"Yes, ghoul vampires and werewolves especially if they have gifts we'll help them."

"Nice."

"Oh, by the way, there's someone outside who wanted to talk to you. I think he's one like us."

"Kay, take my post and I'll go talk to him."

"Oh heads up, Stefan is in the living room."

"Thanks." I smiled and we switched posts. I walked upstairs through the living room purposefully.

"Emily, there's someone random… ow…"

"Shut up Stefan, I know. I shoved him over and threw him over the couch into the wall. He cracked part of the wall with his great hit. I had used my power on him you see. Then I walked on the front porch and saw

Sorry for the cliff. I know that some of the people are OOC just don't blame me. And Nico my friend you will be coming soon.
