It's Kota here. Someone just sent a review in, and the email notification reminded me that I had a story to finish! Grrrr...How could I have forgotten? Please forgive me :( Anyway, I've got a gaia now (god, I actually joined an anime emospace?) and a deviantart. I've entered highschool, and life all around sucks. However, I will keep writing this story now! Never again will I falter! Here we go!
Chapter 11
Eva burst out of the room, tears streaming from her closed eyes.
Solaris just stayed still, dazed by these new memories. Chachamaru
turned and watched her master leave. Eva ran blindly, not
understanding.
"What are these memories this...Solaris has? I don't understand! Happy?
Have I ever truely been happy? And why do I feel mad at myself? Why am
I feeling sad? Why...am I feeling like this...?" Eva thought to
herself.
She ran even faster, letting her legs guide her, wanting to let go for
awhile, wanting time to stop. Her body knew how, from the centuries
before. She found herself infront of the principal's room.
"Why did I come here?" Eva asked herself, wiping her tears from her eyes.
She realized she wanted to smash something, just destroy it all! She
wanted to know just WHAT happenned to her, and how Solaris had these
memories. She kicked open the doors, and walked in.
"Ah, Eva-chan! What can I do for you today? eh?" the principal asked.
He noticed the firey look in her eyes.
"What happened to me. What have you done to me? Explain yourself!" Eva demanded.
She believed this man had the information she wanted, no, needed.
"Hm? What happened to you?" he said, nervously.
"You know what I'm talking about!" Eva yelled.
She was sure he had what she wanted. He HAD to have it!
"Hmm... so you've managed to figure it out... if only the gist of it, I take."
He turned and looked out the window.
"Do you believe that people can change, Eva?"
Eva took a step back, startled by his tone.
"No matter what you do, you cannot change who you are. You can only
change your appearence to the rest of the world." Eva answered.
"Yes, that is true. This is why, I hope, you are not truely as
destructive as you have behaved in the past few years." he said,
solemnly.
"What are you talking about, old man? I've been stuck in this damned school for the past years!" Eva said churlishly.
She was becoming impatient.
"That is a lie."
Eva stepped back once more. Had the man gone senile? She had been stuck
in this class for years, never leaving except one or two times!
"I see this has startled you. Allow me to explain. You were only captured 2 years ago."
Captured?
"There had been mysterious cases of murder, destruction, and chaos. We
had been searching for the cause blindly, until we found you destroying
a village."
Eva's eyes got a far off look. She could see it... and yet it seemed unreal. fake. impossible.
"The one who captured you was Nagi Springfield."
Eva stiffened. She had followed him for a long time, until he trapped
her at the school. Or did he? Eva was realizing that the fine line
between reality and imagination was crossed more often than she had
thought. Or was that just another thought planted in her head?
"We drugged you, and reveiwed your memories. What we found was
appalling. So much ruthless destruction and murder. And you had enjoyed
it. Nagi himself couldn't believe it."
Eva stood as she regained strange memories.
"We decided that we could not kill you, for your evil might have spread
elsewhere in your death. We couldn't let you go, not after what we saw.
You had commited these crimes that we had been looking for the cause of
for so long. The consensus was to change your memory, and trap you in
an area, in hopes of changing you. There is no greater enemy to your
enemy than themselves. We changed your memory, and you have been here
for 2 years since. All you knew was a...carefully orchestrated
play...no, I suppose I can not hide the truth any longer. Yes, it was a
lie."
Eva fell to the ground. Sure, she had liked causing pain and
destruction, but this "truth" hit her hard. Even she was surprised.
"I am telling you this because, I, for one, do not believe this is your
natural personality. Nagi thought that it wasn't either. He said that
just a few months before, you had met him, and you were one of the
kindest, friendliest people he had met. You had a friend with you too.
It was assumed you murdered him soon after, as he wasn't seen again.
The high mages said that you were pretending, running from the mages
hot on your trail. Nagi left that night, distraught."
Eva sat there, not comprehending.
"But... even these memories conflict with the ones Solaris had..." she said, even more confused.
She was lost in a maelstrom of truths and lies, and nothing was what it
seemed. She tried and tried to climb out, but she drifted deeper and
deeper into the darkness. She was drowning in the ocean of distruth,
and couldn't get out. She called for someone, anyone, to help her, but
she was pulled under. Insanity had come to claim her, and she couldn't
fight back. She let go, and the storm calmed.
