Chapter 5
"No." I say. I feel tears down the side of my face and my knees go weak. I know I'm starting to fall but I don't care. My only meaning of existence, Damen, died. As I fall, I feel arms wrap around me, and I look up, tears still running down my face. Nathan was holding me. I turn around and grab him tightly, and start sobbing loudly. At that point, I don't care who I am, or what I have to do. I just cry.
I start to calm down after a while and look at Amshel, who is just watching me, much like Soloman. Nathan is still holding me. "Saya, Why would she kill him? What did we ever do to her? I don't even remember her, at all." I finally ask. I need to know if there was a good reason to why she would do such a thing.
"Darling," Nathan spoke up for the first time since I'd started crying. "She did it because she thought he was friends with Amshel and she wants to kill Diva." I didn't understand. Why would Saya want to kill Diva?
"But aren't they sisters?" I ask, so confused about everything that is going on. I must have been asleep longer than I thought I had been because I know that I had to have understood the fighting before or I wouldn't have been taking part in all of this. Right? What would have been a good enough reason for them to fight to the death about?
"Yes." Soloman spoke this time, seeming much more sad than he did before. "But Diva killed the man Saya considered to be her father back when they were first discovered. Saya has wanted to kill Diva ever since." I then walked out of Nathan's arms and over to look out of the window. It was the first time I had actually looked at the sky. That seemed to be the only thing that didn't change over the time I had been asleep. All these years and it had never changed. Sure the clouds passed and they changed size and color but in the end, it was basically the same.
"I have a question. How long have I been asleep since the last time I woke up? How long had Damen been waiting for?" I ask, suddenly realizing that so much time must have passed and how lonely Damen must have been while waiting for me. I hadn't thought about it. I was being selfish and only thinking of myself.
"Memphis, it's been 52 years since you were last awake. It's the longest time that you've ever slept continuously. It's actually longer than either Saya or Diva have slept at one time." Amshel told me this and it really struck me then. The last time I had been awake, I was in the 50s. I couldn't believe I'd actually been asleep that long. And it was even harder to believe that Damen had waited for me. He had actually waited for me and was just a few days short. "Well Memphis, it's up to you how we proceed with this. You can either get Saya back, or you can help us out and just watch her. She doesn't know that you exist.
"She thought that Damen was one of Diva's chevalier and so she doesn't know about you so you could actually even spy on her for us. I would absolutely love it if you went and got involved, and acted as a normal human and fed us information. That would be the ideal solution to our little problem." Amshel wanted something of me that would be helpful for him but difficult for me. How could I be around the girl who just killed my chevalier and true love? None the less, I just nodded, hiding my true feelings from everyone around me.
"Memphis, love, are you sure you really want to? I mean, we don't want to push you into anything you don't want to do." Nathan was the only one who actually took my feelings into account. I nodded again, being sure of what I wanted to do. I HAD to do this now. I needed to find out everything I could about this Saya before I would figure out how to kill her, which was something I would do, whether Amshel wanted me to or not.
