Chapter 4
It suddenly came rushing back to me. Not everything, but everything having to do with Damen.
"DAMEN!" I yelled desperately searching the house for him. I hadn't seen him for a few days, while I had been at my Uncle Amshel's house. Diva had been good, and we had fun while I was there, so I tried to visit often, but I couldn't stay without my beloved Damen for more than a few days.
"Calm down, would you? I'm right in here." I heard him say from the den as I ran past it. I ran back into the room and he was just standing there. I ran up to him, grabbing him around the neck, nearly strangling him. "Ack, Memphis, you're choking me." He said and I immediately let go. He sat there, gasping for air.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Damen. I just couldn't wait to see you." I grab him again, but much more gently this time. He leaned forward and kissed me gently.
"I love it when you worry about me. And I just love you in general." He says, kissing me again.
"Damen…." I remember how much he meant to me. It couldn't be true. Damen couldn't be dead. "No…" I whisper. My one and only true love. He couldn't have died. "Not again…" I was talking to myself but another memory was coming back, consuming my vision and my thoughts.
"Hey Damen, we should go on a hike for my birthday. I know it's not very ladylike but I would really enjoy it." I asked Damen, who knew my birthday was only a few days away.
Even then, I hadn't known I was much different from normal people, other than that my body healed quickly, and that was it. Amshel hadn't told me much more than that.
I laughed as Damen was trying to hike up the hill with a picnic basket. It was so funny that I could climb the hills and trees better than he could, even though I was a woman. I wasn't supposed to do those things, but Damen never cared.
He laughed too, loving to see my smile on my face. "Honey, where do you want to eat at?" He asked me and I pointed to the top of the hill. There was a tree up there that would be wonderful to eat under. He continued to climb in front of me and we got there successfully, even though it did take a while.
We ate our lunch, laughing and talking the whole time. It was then that he pulled out a ball that we could play catch with. "Thank you so much!" I was so excited, because I'd never really played before. "This is the best birthday ever!" But that best birthday quickly turned into a nightmare. We were playing and he was backing up when he fell off of a cliff that we hadn't seen on our way up here.
"DAMEN!" I screamed and quickly rushed down the side of the hill that we'd come up. He had fallen on a sharp rock and punctured his back. "Damen…" I said, hoping that he was still alive. Thankfully, he opened his eyes and was still conscious.
"Memphis…I'll be ok." He winced and smiled at me. I just shook my head, not having a clue what to do, until an idea popped in my head.
"I'll take you to Uncle Amshel. He'll know what to do." I took him as quickly as I could to Uncle and Diva. And as I thought, Amshel knew exactly what to do. I followed his instructions to giving Damen my blood. And in the end, Damen was alright, and just like me, he would no longer age. He had no chance of dying from any human.
"It's not possible…" I whisper again, my mind pulling me out of my memory. Damen was safe. He couldn't die.
"Memphis, the person who killed Damen, your true love, was Diva's sister, Saya." Amshel said calmly.
