Hope you like! Please review! I want 5 to do the next chapter!
I got up,got ready,and ate a quick breakfast. I walked through my house slowly,looking at every bit,taking every detail in,and trailing my fingers across the walls. I made my way back to my room. Dragging my suitcase out from under my bed,I begin putting my clothes and belongings back in.
I finished rather quickly as I didn't have that much stuff with me,checked that the doors were locked,and created a portal to Myrnin's. I stepped through and scanned the room for the formerly-insane vampire.
"Myrnin?" No reply. I started toward his room,but stopped as I noticed a scrap of paper lying on the lab table. I picked it up and read the three lines on it in Myrnin's messy scrawl:
"Jane,if you stop by here,I'm already at the city hall. The meeting is there,Amelie's council room.
-Myrnin"
Alright. I opened another portal and stepped through,ending up in a secluded corner-so no one would freak out because a person just came from a wall-of the City Hall building,as I had no idea where the room was.
I saw a vampire standing by a set of double doors in the back and inquired if he would direct me toward Amelie's council room. He called another vampire who led me through the double doors,down a set of twisting and winding corridors until I was lost,and through a larger set of double doors. I walked through and he shut them behind me. Amelie was sitting behind a massive oak desk,looking as proper and royal as ever. Oliver stood against the furthest wall,arms crossed,obviously wanting to be elsewhere. Myrnin was sprawled on an elegant white sofa,scribling furiously in a notebook. All three looked up as I entered.
"Right,I'll attempt to keep this short. I wanted you three to meet with me today because I have reached a decision. You all are aware I arrived around the middle of May;at the beginning,just to come visit. By chance,the very town I stumbled upon was full of vampires and in the middle of a war of sorts. You asked me to help,and I did just that. I've chaned a lot. After the battle I wasn't as carefree and joking about everything. I'm more serious,but I do still have my sarcasm. It's July. I'm 16. And here's the reason for this meeting: I want to go home and finish high school. I wanted your blessing,as you know I'll try and try anyways to get out." I ended my small speech sounding-I hoped-hopeful,but yet determined.
They all gave me different looks,but underlying emotion in each was surprise. Eventually,Amelie spoke. "You have indeed assisted a bit. If you wish,you may go." Each word was spoken slowly and carefully,and I could hear the "Don't make me regret this" tone. I smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I'm leaving.. now." Now they all looked very surprised. "I just ask one last thing. I know that when I leave the machine will wipe my memory. All I ask is that you send me a letter just insisting that I come down to see TPU,from the "Dean" or "Mayor". Make it convincing,like I definately have to come. That way I'll get to come back-if only for a little while." Amelie gave a quick nod.
I bit my lip and thought for the final time Do I really want to do this? I answered myself with a yes. I stepped forward to Amelie,shook her hand,and said,"Founder". I went to Oliver next;his arms were crossed over his chest and he gave me a look practically daring me to hug him-I did anyways. He of course didn't hug me back,but I said,"Bye Oliver." He nodded. Last,but not least,Myrnin. He looked normal,but in his eyes I could see sadness and hurt. "Hey,you're my best friend. I have to come back,right? And I will,don't worry. Bye,Myrnin." I gave him a hug and he wrapped his arms tightly around me. "Do come back,"he whispered. I nodded.
Turning I grabbed my suitcase and walking toward the door,I turned back for a final glance. Amelie was looking at Myrnin with a curious look;he had his head hung,dark hair obscuring my view of his face-I'd have sworn something was shining on his cheek though;Oliver stared after me,something in his dark eyes,what it was I had no idea. Utterly confused I walked out the door. The same vampire led me back to the first double doors. I went out them,then out onto the street. A car was waiting for me-courtesy of Amelie-and I got in. The driver sped off and I stared out the back window until we crossed the town limits,and then until the town grew small and my neck hurt.
We drove for an hour and I kept losing little details of my summer. Then it'd come back and I'd remember that I was losing my memory of the town. Another hour was gone. "Sir?" I asked the driver. His eyes on me in the rearview was the only response I got. "Where did you pick me up? And actually anything since May is fuzzy,like an unclear dream."
"I'm a friend of your parents. You came down to Texas for nearly two months. You wanted to see how the geography and culture was different from yours. You stayed with myself and my wife: Robert and Karen,remember?. You fell and hit your head,and you suffered temporary memory loss. They said you should've remembered by last Tuesday,but it may take more time." Only now did he look back at the road,breaking eye contact. I sat there,thinking hard,and it hit me. I had went to Texas. After 6 weeks there,meeting the people in town and getting used to the whole change,I slipped coming down the stairs. I woke up the next morning in the hospital with no recollection of nearly anything. And I kept getting bursts where I wouldn't remember anything,like now. But now I remembered it all.
"Thank you,Robert. I don't know what you said,but now I'm not just caught back up. I actually remember it. I remember! It's a great feeling. Thank you! Sorry I caused such a mess,but I remember now!" I broke out into a huge grin and I'm sure it stayed plastered there for another hour. I slept a good deal of the ride home. Then I thanked Robert,got out,and prepared for a new year.
Yeah,she left. You probably dislike me now. But I'm setting up drama later. This one went way better than I thought. If you have super memory,then you probably remembered I originally had Jane as 14. I wanted to change the age a little,for it to better work later. I'll be editing the story previous to the one,and the age will be changed to 16 there as well. Hope you enjoyed. Don't worry,next chapter it'll be back in Morganville.. in 2 years. Please Review.
Merci,
