Chapter 18 (The Last Chapter)

Erase Everything

Maggie

Victor was smiling sweetly at me. Ali walked me forward slowly as we walked to the music playing. My dress was uncomfortable. I wanted to get out of it. It was too much white for me. It didn't like the texture of it and the design was horrid. I didn't even know why Victor liked it so much.

The next thing I saw in the room was Alex. He was standing next to Chase, his eyes intent on me. He smiled and nodded. I smiled back and mouthed "Thank you." He looked at Victor then back at me and nodded one more.

I got to Victor and everyone sat down.

"We gather here today for the Marrying of Victor Cal and Maggie Radke. Do you have the rings?" I looked at the Vampire that was marrying us. He didn't look qualified to be doing this. It looked like Victor just asked him to do it.

We both nodded and we were giving the rings. Victor took my hand softly and put the ring on my ring finger on my left hand. It was a beautiful ring, and I hated myself for liking it. I then took Victor's cold hand and slid his ring on.

"Do you, Victor Cal, promise to love Maggie for all eternity, never leaving her side?" The vampire asked. "I do," Victor smiled at me, looking me over closely.

"And do you, Maggie Radke, promise to love Victor Cal for all eternity, never leaving his side?" I looked at the vampire asking all the questions. I didn't want to say I do. I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to go home.

"I do," The words barely came out, but they did and they were said. Everyone clapped and cheered. "You may now change her," The vampire said to Victor.

"This won't hurt a bit," Victor whispered to me. He got closer to me and pulled me to him. I gave up. I knew I couldn't fight him.

That's when everything blew up in my face. Victor was pulled from me before he could get his teeth in me. Someone was dragging me away and pulled me over their arms. The last thing I was Alex on top of Victor, putting a stake through his heart. That's when everything went black.

Break

"Get that off her finger," Alex hissed. I could hear him pacing around. I felt someone touch my hand softly and pull something off. "Destroy it please."

Who was Alex bossing around? I sure hope it wasn't Chase or Ali. "Is she okay?" Ali asked behind my thoughts. "Yes. He didn't get her. She is safe. We are all safe."

"You sure?" Ali asked, sitting on the edge of whatever I was laying on. "Pretty sure. You saw me put the stake in his heart with silver wrapped around it. He's gone and we are free. You are free."

"Alex. You know I can't go home. I'm supposed to be dead, remember?" Ali sighed and touch my leg softly. "Then you can live with Chase and I," Alex muttered.

"Thank you but I-" "You are staying with us Ali. You are like family," Someone touched my face and the kissed my forehead.

"Let's leave her be. She's had a long day and week," Ali's voice was soft. I felt her get off the bed and I could tell her got to Alex. Alex kissed my lips and then walked out with her, shutting the door behind her.

I opened my eyes to see that I was in Alex's house. My body hurt and I could see I had bruises all over my body. "Sorry," I heard.

I looked over in the corner and there stood Chase. "For what?" I asked. "Getting you into all of this. Victor was the one that followed me and found you. And for all the bruises. I had to get you out of there fast."

I smiled at him trying to lighten the mood. "No problem about the bruises as well at the Victor part. It made me stronger as a person. Yea, it was scary as hell and my best friend is a wolf, but hey, it was a hell of an experience."

Chase chuckled. "Yea. And experience to be almost made into a vampire. That's a fun experience."

I stuck my tongue out and him and he came over and sat on the bed. I sat up and stared at him. "Zach told me that you guys have tattoos when you were changed that helps you stay in the sun. Can I see?"

Chase busted out laughing. "You believed him Maggie? We don't have tattoos or any crazy shit like that, trust me on that. We can walk in the sun, no problem. Well, unless was stay out for a really long time, then we do but that rarely happens."

"I was lied to? Again? God I hate vampires," I hissed. Chase laughed again. "You should. We are all Evil."

I punched him arm, only ending up to hurt myself. "Thank you though. For saving me."

"No problem," Chase patted my leg and stood up. "I should let you rest now."

Chase walked towards the door and turned to look at me one last time. "Again I am sorry Maggie. I hope you can forgive me." I smiled at him and nodded. "I do. Just don't let it happen again." Chase gave me a crocked smiled and left the room.

I laid back again and looked at the ceiling. Now was the challenge of figuring out my feelings for Alex and Chase.

Alex

"Should we?" I asked Chase and Ali. "I think it's best for her. She doesn't need those memories in her life," Ali told me.

I sighed. "I'm still going to be there for her. She will still know about the existence of vampires and werewolves."

"That's fine. Just make her forget Victor," Chase said, leaning against the wall. I looked down at Maggie's sleeping face.

She was back in her bed at home. Chase has erased her parents memories of her being gone. He was now barely able to walk. It was my turn to take Maggie's memories away.

"I am going to take her memory for us too Chase," I muttered, looking at her. Chase perked up. "What? No. You can't." "Chase, I have to. It's best for her. We will still watch her at school. But with us out of the picture, it will be best for her. She can know about Ali, who she is, what she is, but not us. I don't want to hurt her any more than she already is."

Chase moaned and shook his head. "Fine. But it's on your head if she goes around asking questions and shit."

I nodded and looked down at Maggie. "You can do it Alex. You've got the power," Ali touched my shoulder and then walked over to Chase to help him get home. They left me there alone with Maggie.

"Maggie, I know you are sleeping and won't remember this, but I have something to say. We may have not known each other long but I love you. God I love you so much and I don't ever want to lose you. But you need to forget me. Forget us. It's for your own good. Maybe someday you will learn again and we can start over. I never wanted to hurt you. Good bye. For now."

I touched Maggie's face and I felt her memories slip away from her. I felt them hid in the deepest part of her brain. Maggie stiffened and then relaxed like nothing happened. It was over. She won't remember me and won't remember Chase, Victor or Zach.

I kissed her one last time on her lips and then left.

Epilogue

Maggie

Summer time... 5 months after the Memory Erase

"Ali! Hurry up! We are burning day light!" Ali was a slow poke. I wanted to go to the pool but she was slowing me down. She was stopped by a guy on the sidewalk and she told me to go on without her but I walked on a little bit and waited for them to finish their conversation but I could still hear it.

"What do you mean he is still alive?" Ali hissed at the guy. "Ali. Melanie came back without Casey. He took her daughter. He's alive still. I have no clue how but he wants revenge and he still want's Maggie."

"Are you sure?" Ali asked the guy. "Positive. Chase is with Mel now. We've got to watch her closely Ali. She is important to me, you, and Chase. I don't want her going anywhere but I can't just show up again in her life like that. She needs to try and have a normal one."

"I will keep her safe, you know that. I've had more practice with what I am and I'm getting good at it. I've got this," Ali nodded and then looked at me. I looked away from him and tapped my foot.

"Go to her. Keep her safe. I will be watching as much as I can," the guy walked off in the other direction and I looked back to see Ali walking towards me.

"Now I'm ready," She smiled and started walking towards the pool. I stayed in place. "What's wrong?" Ali asked, turning towards me.

"Who's Victor?"
