Always and Forever [Book 3]

Memories

Rachel's POV
I am in a car. I drive and next to me a girl with blonde hair sits. We talk and laugh. It's dark outside. The road is empty. While I'm driving I see a figure in front of the car standing.

Rachel :Oh my God!

I turn the wheel and the car flips. The windows break and the hood of the car opens. I open my eyes and I see that we're upside down. I look out the window and see a man on the ground and then he gets up.

Rachel: Irene?

I try to get my seat belt off. I am talking to her but she's not answering. The man from outside is walking towards us. I turn to look at Irene. Her face is covered with blood. I start crying. Suddenly my eyes hurt and then they turn yellow.

Rachel:No no no. Please Irene. No.

The man is now really close. He kneels but he leaves running with his vamp speed. He is a vampire. I see lights. An ambulance has arrived.

The scene changes and I find myself in a prairie looking at a teenage boy.

Damien:Look Rachel. We can't be friends anymore.

Rachel: Damien I know that I might've hurt you because of- It's killing me. It kills me. I just need.. Maybe give me like, some time or something..-

Damien: Don't. It's not you.

Rachel : It's not you it's me. Right? Really?

Damien: It's true. It is me. I'm not... good. I used to be a good kid. Not anymore. This doesn't even matter. Alright? This is over.

I move my head no. I want to cry but I hold my tears. The one that I can't hide is my cracking voice.

Rachel: You can't leave. You're my friend. Not you too. You promised.

Damien:I know. I promised I won't hurt you Rachel. And this is me keeping that promise. Go home. And don't come back. Or you're gonna get hurt.

He turns around and leaves running. When he leaves it starts raining. I haven't realized it yet until I start running to my mom's car.

Again the scene changes and I find myself with Damien next to a lake.

Rachel :Well if it's ready by night you can give it to me at my party.

Damien:You? Rachel Mikaelson McCall is having a birthday party? What will we do? Play with other kids?

Rachel :No it's not like that. Klaus wants so much to throw me a party so I let him organize it. Klaus's parties are the best. Which you're invited to.

He scoffs

Rachel:! Yeah I figured that. What is it?

Damien:I just think that your family doesn't like me. If I come to that party they're gonna be around me all the time.

Rachel :And..?

Damien: I just wanted to do this differently. Smoother.

Rachel: What you mean?

Damien: You need to hear the truth Rachel. Without your family being around telling you what to do.

Rachel : The truth?

I get suspicious. Ugh the thoughts that Klaus had put in my head. They come back. I don't know what he's gonna say but I am still on guard.

Damien :That I'm in love with you.

I look at him. I want to tell him the truth but I can't. I sigh.

Rachel: I don't feel that way for you.

Damien: I don't buy it

I scoff.

Rachel : What don't you buy? That's how I feel.

Damien: You feel something else for me. You just won't admit it. So I'm not giving up. I'm gonna fight for you until your heart stops beating.

I pass him to walk away but he grabs me and kisses me. I want to stay there in his arms. But I can't. I had made a promise and I have to keep it. I push him away from me. I punch him on the face but my hand starts hurting when I do. Thankfully the pain stops after a few seconds. I run towards the lake.

Damien : Rachel!

I get in the lake turn into a mermaid and swim fast.

I appear in a dark place. I look around trembling and panicked. I want them to stop. So many memories. It hurts. I start crying. All these feelings come back. Suddenly I see someone in front of me.

??? :Hello Rachel. I guess you don't remember me.

I try to remember.

Rachel:Hope?

Hope :Yes. I'm here because your memories come back. I know it hurts but you have to let the feelings come back. You have to remember Rachel.

Again the scene changes.Everyone stands next to my bed worried and talking. Suddenly they hear something and turn around. They see me coughing. I stand up still coughing and then a light appears from inside of me. It throws me on the wall while throwing something else on the wall too. I get up while the other figure gets up too. I look at it and looks back. It's the dark me. My family is looking at me. Wondering. They are ready to attack to the other me.

Rachel:No!

I yell at them.

Rachel:This is my fight.

The dark me smiles and then laughs.

Dark Rachel :You think you can defeat me?

She throws at me a dark magic ball. I fall down but get up right away. I throw back a nature magic ball throwing her on the floor too. Then her eyes turn black and she laughs. She moves her hands and throws me against the wall. Then with her magic she flies towards me grabbing me from my neck. I can't breathe. She is much more stronger than I am. I look at my family and then at Damien. He looks at me, his eyes locked on mine. I tear falls down my cheek as I close my eyes. I look back at Dark Rachel. I remember Hope's words. "Just believe". I close my eyes again and then with a scream I push with my magic Dark Rachel at the other side of the room. She gets up as I look at my hands. A colorful aura is around them. I look to my family again and they see my eyes are colorful. Not brown as they usually are. I look back at Dark Rachel and notice that she's worried. I scream again, this time my hands pointing to Dark me. My magic is around her. Her magic gets back in me but this time I can control it. I look back at my family as I let out a sigh of relief. I hug them while I close my eyes.

I open my eyes and I find myself laid on a hospital bed. I see a man next to me. I open wider my eyes and then he shuts a needle in my neck. I scream and i fall again unconscious on the bed.

I am in a WCKD hallway. I remember it. It's the hallway outside the meeting room. I get closer to the door. I open it slightly without them knowing. I see a picture of me on the wall.

Ava: This is our Tribrid. Her name is Rachel Mikaelson McCall. She's very precious. She's a supernatural but a rare one. She's not only a werewolf, a witch and a vampire. She has also the powers of a Banshee and a mermaid. Her scream is lethal sometimes. She's the reason these kids got in the maze. Her and more others. This is the real reason the maze trials were created. To test the supernaturals. Unfortunately most of them have escaped. But they don't have their memory, yet.

I turn around to leave but I see a man handing over to me a pill. I look at the pill frightened. And then I scream.
