Charlotte’s pov
No answers, all this running around, and still no answers.
“You shouldn’t lose patience so soon,” Sebastian said, and I looked at him.
“I am not losing patience; I am losing hope” I replied and sat down in my office.
“Why are you here?” I asked him and he sat down as well.
“Everything has been indicating that the answers are in your past. I am your past; I am where it all started” he said, and I nodded.
I know that more than anyone but why is he telling me?
“There is one person in this world who might have the answers” he added.
Who?
He doesn’t know much except for the love story he told me about.
Not that I don’t believe him, I don’t think he is lying.
But I do think that Scarlet hid a lot of things from him, which is why he doesn’t have the answers.
I know he doesn’t know much about the blood mark so who else would?
“You do, you know everything and only you can find the solution to this” he answered.
“I know that, but for the past few years I have been trying to regain all my memories but no luck,” I said to him.
Actually, what I told him was merely a brief of what my father and I did.
We used all the memory spells we could find, all the portions we could concoct.
And every time nothing worked, no matter how hard we tried nothing worked.
It was as if my memories were locked away and someone else had the key.
Or that person might have thrown the key away.
As for Sebastian, he doesn’t even know for sure who casted the blood mark.
“You haven’t tried everything; I know a way,” he said, and I looked at him.
“I am listening,” I said, and he smirked.
“We can do all the things we did back then, they will surely revive your memory,” he said and winked.
For some reason I found myself blushing a little at this.
I don’t remember at all but for some reason his words made me blush.
I looked at him, “keep talking, but get your head out of the gutter” I said, and he nodded.
“There are things that we liked doing back in the day. The food you liked, so If we do that then maybe your memories will slowly come back” he said firmly.
After I agreed to his plan he left and a few hours later an Alpha Prince walked into my office.
Royalty is surrounding me on both sides, is this life a curse?
“I want to talk to you about something,” he said, and I gestured that he sits down.
He is hiding something from me, I don’t know how but I can see it in his face somehow.
Like there is something he didn’t tell me, it’s been like that since that day.
After that, he didn’t even let me use the link to look into the old memories.
I found nothing useful there except for the fact that I had the same feeling even then.
Even then I felt like he was hiding something, I mean that Reene had that feeling.
As if he was hiding something big like he had questions of his own and was looking for answers.
But what?
“I think I can help you remember the past, you said that you must have created the link because you remembered something important right?” he asked me, and I nodded.
I can’t think of another reason why I would do such a thing.
I knew back then before I died that I had a cursed fate.
If I truly loved Ryder, and I know that I did love him back then because I could feel the love in Reene’s memories.
It was only a few memories, but I felt their connection, Reene really loved him deeply.
So, she wouldn’t want to tie him to her who is cursed to run and die young.
The only reason that could make sense is that I found out something before I died.
Why else would I do something like that to someone I love?
Tie him to me knowing very well the results that would wield.
I wasn’t that heartless back then, right? Or was I?
“What if we spent time together? then maybe your memories will return slowly” he suggested, and I smiled.
“Well, I guess great minds think alike, Sebastian also got that idea,” I said to him.
He frowned, “why? We are sure that it’s connected to my past and not his,” he said, and I shrugged.
“But whatever I remembered in your past probably has something to do with his past. It’s all connected you see” I said, and he sighed.
Everything so far seems to be connected but how?
How is Logan connected to all of this?
I mean he is connected to Reene but how is Logan connected to Scarlet?
Is there a connection there or does it end only at Reene?
Does it begin with Reene and is it supposed to end with me?
I don’t know but I feel like I have been planning something all this time.
From what Sebastian told me about me, the Scarlet me is that I am a planner.
Somehow I was led here, somehow even Logan and Sebastian are both here.
They are people I now know for sure that I shared a past with.
“So, what do you say? I saw that you, I mean Reene and Ryder liked painting. Do you want to paint with me?” he asked me, and I smiled.
“Why not?” I replied and he gave me a big smile.
I need to find answers no matter what, if this is the only way then I don’t mind doing this.
I know that it might hurt both of them because I know the real reason they are trying to help me.
They are hoping that I will fall in love with them in the process.
I know its selfish for me to do this knowing very well the results, but what else can do?
This is the only way, I cant think of another way, can you?
Charlotte’s pov“You look good” Logan said with a smile, and I looked at my dress.“You did tell me to dress up” I said, and he nodded as he gave me flowers.“These are for you, you always liked lilies, I mean Reene loved them” he said, and I nodded.I tried to keep it in, but I couldn’t stop no matter how much I tried.I sneezed making him look at me with confusion.“I have a sensitive nose, and I am kind of allergic to flowers” I said and watched as his eyes went wide.“I am so sorry; I had no idea. Its just that Reene loved flowers, a lot from what I saw from Ryder’s memories” he said, and I nodded.“Its okay, Alexa a little help here” I yelled, and she came running taking the flowers away.“They are lovely by the way, thank you” I said, and he scratched his head a little.“I am so sorry” he said again, and I just shrugged hoping this awkwardness will go away.But it didn’t and followed us to the restaurant we went to,“it didn’t start well did it?” Logan asked and I nodded.“But i
Sebastian’s povI got out of my apartment and found the old woman next door standing at her door.“You do know that she wont be safe here for long right?” she asked me.She reminds me of someone I knew back in the ages.Back then people couldn’t tolerate seers during their time for this reason only.They always act like they know everything which can be really misleading.And I will be honest, I hate how they know things that I don’t know. And the most annoying thing about them is their code in life and their so called ethics and morals.Seers never work for someone else; they live their life and give people warnings.Usually they are in riddles, I think it’s because they don’t understand them either.I looked at her, “why wont she be safe?” I asked her and she just smiled.“She isn’t safe here because you are here, there are people on your side who want her dead” she replied.People on my side who?The one person I can think of at this moment is Rose Watkins.She has always been obs
Sebastian’s pov“We are too close to the Blood Coven; we should get out of here now” Chris said, and I smiled.“You always have been a coward, are you scared of witches?” I asked him looking around the deep forest.The blood coven lives next to one of the biggest forests in this world.I think its mostly so that they could gather herbs from near, but the forest is feared by humans.This forest is where the darkest of creature come to hunt, the home of magic one would say.“I will just wash up and we can leave, my parents are waiting for my feedback” I said and stopped at the waterfall.The waterfall formed a small river and it looked really peaceful here.From the scent I could tell that there were no witches or people an
Sebastian’s povI went to that dangerous forest day in day out.Hoped that we would meet again somehow but I had no such luck on my side.“Why are you even after her? didn’t you hear that she is a dangerous witch?” Chris asked me.“I know, but she had this light in her eyes and I can’t seem to forget her” I answered, and he rolled his eyes.“She is a witch, and you are a vampire. That light in her eyes is her burning your very dead corpse” Chris said spoiling my mood.I cant seem to forget those eyes; it was as if they were piercing through my soul.“She called you a fool” he said after some time, and I just shrugged.“And I am a fool, I want to achieve peace, I speak of peace, but I have no plan to achieve it. I want answers but I don’t even have questions yet” I said, and he sighed.“Fine, I will listen to your peace bullshit” he said with a heavy sigh.“Not you, I honestly don’t care about what you think. I want her to hear my plans for the future” I said and then got up.I went st
Sebastian’s povShe didn’t answer but looked the other way.After some time, she spoke up, “it doesn’t matter what we both felt. You are a vampire, and I am a witch” she said.“Well then, shall I tell you the answers I have?” I asked her and she smiled.“Cant wait to hear about them” she said, and we both sat down.As far away from that tree as possible of course and I started telling her everything.She just sat there and listened; I have never had anyone just listen to me talk.My siblings don’t even know what they feel or what to do with themselves.Ever since we got turned into vampire it is as if we all lost our identities and don’t know who we are now.I do know that my name is Sebastian Thorne but then that is all I know now.Back when I was still human I just wanted to be a normal person who works hard.I would marry a girl who isn’t super pretty but also isn’t ugly and would settle down.But now I have forever waiting for me, from what I have been told forever is a long time.
Charlotte’s pov“I will tell you more on another day” he said, and I nodded.I would like to hear the story some more because I think I might have gotten a clue.When I gave him the poem back then I think he also missed it as well.Hell, back then we hardly got the time to even do anything because of how everyone reacted.“I will be gone for a while” he said when we got in front of my apartment.“Gone? Where are you going?” I asked him and he smiled.“I just need to sort out a few things, I was given a riddle that I need to solve” he said and then kissed my forehead.“Stay safe” he said and then walked away while I just stood there.I know that he was going to the next room but somehow I missed him already.The news of him leaving really saddened me a lot the more I think about it.“You seem deep in thoughts” Alexa said sitting next to me with a huge grin on her face.“So, what have you decided? Which prince charming are you going to choose? The dark and mysterious prince charming, or
Charlotte’s pov“Well father always said that you would grow up into a very beautiful young woman. He lied” the really strange and yet familiar voice said.His voice had changed over time, it could be puberty, but it somehow still sounded the same.“Brother” was the only word that could come out of me looking at thus miracle in front of me.I didn’t know what else to do, because honestly I don’t know whether he is here to kill me or not.But If his face is the last thing I see then I think I would die at peace.It would be as if I saw my father and brother before my death because he looks so much like our father.“Give me a hug and stop crying, you know tears make me uncomfortable” he said, and I chuckled.“But you are crying as well” I said pointing and his eyes that are now filled with tears.I hugged him and we just stayed like that for what seemed like forever.When I let go I realized that there were now two men behind him looking at us with suspicion.“Come on in, all of you” ad
Charlotte’s pov“I will find the answers you need, for now you just need to get away from here. I will try my outmost best to find the new person that is helping them” David said, and I nodded.I completely trust my little brother, being who I am and how I have lived that is a big deal to me.“But where are we going to go?” Alexa asked me and I thought about it.There was one place I know for sure that we can go without any problems.“I know what you are thinking but that’s a terrible idea” Alexa said frowning.“What is a bad idea?” Sebastian asked looking between me and Alexa.“Nothing, we need to start packing so we can go” I said getting up and Alexa remained seated.“Sister no, I refuse to let you go there” she said, and I sighed at this.She has always been head strong and stubborn,“we don’t know what we are dealing with. With this new spell they will be able to find me fast, it’s the only place we can hide safely” I tried to reason with her, but she shook her head.“Where is th
