Chapter 16
Irreversible.
Undeterminably permanent...
Powerful spell... Never seen anything like it.
Loopholes... Nonexistent...
Memories... Lost... Perhaps forever...
All of these words were said by Ashley, it was plain and simple. Hansel will not remember who I am... Who we are to each other.. Or anything related to me.
Ashley explained the spell to me after she was able to translate it. Apparently Klaus had to change the spell last minute because Hansel gave a mental fight. So not only does he remember nothing about me, but nothing of these past seven years.
The last thing he remembers is still to be determined when he wakes up and he tells us himself. Yes, he is still knocked unconscious, just like he has been for the past seven hours. It is now little pass 8 p.m. The time irrelevant to me, it's like time has stopped for me...
My mind is still having trouble processing what is going on... It's like it's telling me that it's all a big nasty nightmare that I will wake up from. But at the same time, I have lost hope. Hope that this is a nightmare that I will soon wake up from... because I won't wake up from this nightmare... because this nightmare is now my reality and the necklace around my neck is solid proof of that.
Seeing as how I cannot tell Hansel that I am his wife, I need to hide that fact from him now, too.
A tear falls down my cheek and I quickly wipe it away, angry that the waterworks have not stopped. My body is physically exhausted but my eyes don't want to close and miss when Hansel wakes up. I want to be there when he wakes up... even if he mistakes me for the enemy yet again...
Knowing that I now need to hide the fact that I am Hansel's wife, not only from the world anymore, but Hansel himself, Ashley has gifted me with a necklace. It's suppose to help me but to me, it's just a reminder that Hansel and I's love life is now not only a secret to society but to Hansel as well.
You see, even though Hansel does not remember me, I am still marked as his. I still bear his Royal Mark on my back and thus not only will he recognize his mark on my back if he were to ever see it but he will recognize his scent mixed with mine, further evidence of his mark on me.
Therefore, we need to hide it.
Ashley has created a necklace for me. It is a single blood red stone dipped in intricate gold curves and curls. Really simple on the outside... but a true wonder on the inside.
The stone is enchanted.
It hides my scent, changing it so I return to my original scent, the one I had before Hansel marked me. The necklace also blocks my thoughts from Hansel as well as hides Hansel's mark, completely erasing it from view. To say that these changes weren't painful would be a lie, I am literally changing my anatomy, like repairing a bone, or more like amputating the whole bone itself.
It took an agonizing fifteen seconds before it finally stopped, and so now, as long as I keep the necklace on, Hansel will never know that he marked me. If I were to ever take it off, however, Hansel's mark and scent mixed with mine will return.
I also spoke to his parents, there are no words to express how they felt. At first they worried that he wouldn't remember anything at all, but after I specified that he only has forgotten everything to do with me, then came the pity. They worried for my well being and of EJ and Rosie's, to which I then explained that they shouldn't have to be perturbed by the "temporary" situation. I then told them about my not wanting to tell Hansel about me being his wife, seeing as he's already attacked me once, and after much discourse, they agreed to respect my wishes and keep the secret.
