Chapter 2
"She's awake already? I expected Diva to wake up at least a few days before her." The man says quietly. I wonder if this man knows my name because he doesn't seem to. "It's been a long time since she was last up and I was hoping that Diva would be able to fill her in, but as long as she's awake now, maybe we could use this to our advantage." This man, I can tell already, knows about me and what I am. I know I am not human, or I would not have come out of that cocoon, but other than that, I have no memory of who and what I am.
"Amshel, big brother, I'm not sure she remembers anything. Memphis didn't even know who I was when I went to check on her." Yet again, Nathan seems upset that I can't remember anything from before the cocoon. In all honesty, I'm surprised I even remember that much myself. "We're going to have to explain a lot to her if we want her to be on our side. You remember what happened before, when we didn't tell her enough and how she-" Nathan seems frantic to explain his point, but Amshel cuts him off.
"Yes I know Nathan. I think we should only explain a little bit at a time, and maybe her memories will start coming back, and as long as they aren't from that time then I think we should be alright." What was, that time? Why doesn't this man, Nathan's big brother, Amshel, want me to remember it? What happened then? So many questions flood my brain as Nathan walks over to me. I look at him with a confused look on my face.
"You were listening, weren't you Memphis?" He asks with a grin on his face. I wonder if he knew it the whole time or just realized it now. I nod and he just shakes his head. "I should've known that your abilities would kick in sooner than was expected. I guess it happens after a sleep as long as yours." I'm still very much confused about everything that he's talking about. "Now Memphis, if you're going to live here, with us, then you're going to start having to talk." He tells me this as if he's my father.
"Alright." I say, trying not to give in to these questions that are my thoughts. He seems a little bit confused as to why I'm not talking more, so I figure I can at very least make small talk. "So is Amshel your big brother?" I ask, not knowing what else to ask, that would be reasonable.
"Yes, you could say that. We're brothers by blood. But we weren't always." He explains and even though I don't understand it, I pretend I do. "So darling, what else do you want to know? I mean, there must be hundreds of questions you want to ask." He encourages me to ask the questions that I seek answers for, which, in all honesty, surprises me. I didn't really expect him to want to answer any questions.
"How long have I been asleep? Why was I in a cocoon? What am I?" These were the first questions that I had when I woke up so I figured I would ask those first, and if I couldn't get any more answers now, then I would figure them out for myself later. He didn't seem shocked by my questions so I guessed that he was going to at least answer a few of them.
He was about to answer when I felt a sudden pain from the thirst that I felt earlier flare back up. I groaned and fell to the ground from the pain. "Are you thirsty Memphis? I didn't even ask when I found you earlier and I apologize for that." The thirst was growing as Nathan crouched down towards me. "Here darling, you can drink my blood for now. We'll have to get you a chevalier of your own soon or it could be a problem in the future." He said this and showed his neck to me. I don't know what happened. It was almost like instinct after that, I opened my mouth and sunk my teeth into him.
The blood was nothing like anything I'd ever tasted before. It was deliciously sweet and amazing. I kept drinking it and drinking it until he finally spoke up. "Alright, I'm sorry to tell you, but you have to stop." I then pulled away, not wanting to hurt this kind man to much. " I know your thirst isn't gone but that's all I can give you right now. I promise that we'll find someone suitable for you." I nodded, wiping my mouth clean with my arm. The sleeves were short so I just used my arm instead of my clothes.
My outfit was almost like the ones I used to wear. It jus had shorter sleeves and was a little less formal. I remember that I used to wear clothing that would probably be old fashioned. Nathan then got up, and was about to finally answer some of my questions when a man with blonde hair walked into the room. "Who is this girl?" He asked and I stood up, not feeling dizzy, like I did before. He looked down at my arm, and saw the blood on it. I quickly hid it, in shame of my impulsive decision. I wasn't sure why I was ashamed of it, but I felt like it was unnatural for anybody to be drinking somebody else's blood.
