Chapter 3
"This girl is named Memphis. She's Diva's cousin." The man looked angry, although he was very beautiful even then. It didn't matter if he was angry at me or not. "I'm sorry we didn't tell you brother. The only ones that knew about her were Amshel and I. He told me not to tell anyone." So this man was Nathan's brother too? Why was I being kept a secret from brothers of Nathan's? I then noticed something on the white suit that the man wore. It was a beautiful blue rose and I started walking towards him, in awe of the amazing color. I'd never seen a blue rose before. He backed away like I was some kind of monster, and that hurt me inside.
"This girl may be Diva's cousin, but that doesn't mean that you need to share your blood with her. If she starves because she doesn't find a human then that is her fault. Where is her chevalier?" The man asked, clearly very upset with his brother. I wondered how big of a deal I really was. What was so special about me anyway? What would be so special about me that secrets had to be kept?
"Come, Soloman, be reasonable." So this man's name was Soloman. "She has no chevalier. Her last one was alive a few days ago but I'm sad to say that he was killed. It seems that Saya's blood is deadly to Memphis as well. It doesn't make any sense because Memphis doesn't have any siblings, so no blood should effect her, but Saya just seems to be special." Nathan kept talking and the more that the two brothers talked, the more confused I was. Soon enough I could no longer take it.
"Stop." That was the first word that I said. I knew I could get the answers if I wanted them, and I wanted them now. "What is a chevalier? Why did I have one? Who is this Saya person and why did she kill mine? I don't understand and I can't stand not knowing anything." I had gotten much louder than when I started and the two men looked like they were shocked that I had spoken so suddenly. I didn't really care though. I just needed to know what was going on.
"Memphis, is it?" Soloman spoke up. I nodded, waiting for an answer. "You are a-" He was just about to answer an important question when Amshel cleared his throat. I was so upset with Amshel just now that I thought I might burst.
"Soloman, you're not allowed to tell this girl anything. It does not matter what your opinion about us keeping this secret from you. That does not give you the allowance to do whatever you want with our little experiment." Amshel said. Experiment! Is that all I was? Nothing more than a stupid little experiment? He walked towards us and I backed away, taken aback by what he had said. I was not just an experiment. "We're trying to see if she is at all like Saya, who forgot everything. We want to see if Memphis will regain her memory quickly, or if it will come in phases. Saya does not remember anything yet, but I'm sure she will soon."
"Who is this Saya person?" I asked again, feeling the need to know something now. " I need to at least know that. I shouldn't have to just do whatever you tell me to and not know anything!" I was yelling now because I was so angry. Every time somebody got close to telling me anything today, another person always interrupted. "And who is this Diva, that everyone here seems to know about?"
"Memphis," Amshel started, and I hoped now that I would finally get some answers. "Diva is your cousin, as you already well know. We are her protectors, her chevaliers. So that question is answered for you now, is it not?" I nodded, pressing him to proceed. "Saya is Diva's sister, she tries to kill us, tried to kill you, and successfully killed you chevalier, Damen."
