The gap between us - ( Seven deadly sins)

Chapter 45 - memories and scars

- Melody Pov -

I sat there, staring deeply into his hypnotic yellow eyes, he sighed and came closer to me. He seemed stressed about the subject, which caused me to get anxious. "Helbram, what's going-"

He put his index finger on my lips and shook his head. "I'm so sorry, this'll be a lot to absorb at once...so please be understanding. I did this for you and the others and now It's time that I give you back your memories." He explained.

I simply looked at him blankly. "My memories?" I questioned quietly, completely confused by his words. He nodded and took both of my hands.

"I need you to lay down flat for me..." He ordered calmly, tucking some hair behind my ear before smiling and pushing me down slowly. I was still very confused and maybe even a little scared. "Now close your eyes." He breathed, barely audible. I closed them. "Count to 3."

I paused. 1...2...3, I counted in my head, suddenly feeling two of his fingers on my forehead at 3. At first I didn't know what was happening until I opened my eyes again . Only problem was that I wasn't in my room anymore, I was at some kids birthday party.

I looked around, scanning the faces of the guests and then feeling my stomach drop as I spotted a familiar face. I clenched my fists....it was me. "Oh god no...what the fuck..." I cursed under my breath before glancing around, desperate to find an explanation until my eyes rested upon another face, one that I'd only ever seen in photos. "Wait? Mum?" I whispered as I watched the silver haired woman bring out a bowl of something. "No..." I said right before things turned bad.

Suddenly everything sped up and I watched my own mother get shot through the head and then fall to the ground. My brows furrowed as I felt like I was going to be physically sick. All of the children were screaming and crying as she lay dead, little me had been the closest, leaving her covered in her own mother's blood. I just stared on in horror. "NO NO NO NO! PLEASE STOP! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS!" I cried.
Eliza was screaming like nothing before. I covered my ears as my eyes began to well up with tears. The screaming was deafening and I wanted it to stop. "ENOUGH! GET ME OUT OF HERE! HELBRAM!" I screamed loudly while looking at the ground, everything began falling apart. The screaming stopped abruptly and I opened my eyes slowly.

"Melody? Are you okay?" Said a slightly familiar voice, my head shot up like lightening only to see that the scene had changed and I was now standing in my old backyard. I made eye contact with the boy, but he looked straight through me, focused on something behind me. I turned my head and saw younger me again, sitting on the ground with a scrapped knee; tears tumbling down her cheeks.

"Y-you said you were g-going to be gentle, H-Helbram!" She accused while violently wiping her eyes. I stared at the boy with wide tear filled eyes.

"Helbram...but I..." I muttered before realising.

The mini Helbram rushed over to her, running directly through me and getting down to assist her. She whined in protest, but he helped her regardless. I smiled despite still being shaken up.

I took in a breath as it all went black, nothing to see but the abyss.

- Helbram Pov -

I sat on the bed, watching her cry in her sleep as she relived the good and bad memories that I took. "I'm sorry, my love." I mumbled and wiped away a tear.

She twitched and then sat up, visibly distressed as she held herself and rocked back and forth whilst looking at the sheets. She was breathing heavily. "Melody-"

"HELBRAM WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?" She screeched at me. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"

I looked at her with guilt. "I wanted you to know the truth." I explained with a grief stricken tone. "I-I'm sorry, but you had the right to see them...even the bad ones."

She clenched the sheets as her mark disappeared. "Get out." She ordered.

"But Melody-"

"GET OUT!"

I bit my tongue as I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. "I love you...just please don't forget that." I whimpered as I bit my knuckle to suppress my sobs before getting up and leaving the room.

I don't think that she's going to get over this very quickly. I fucked up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At first it wasn't my intention to make her mad, but it just seemed to make more sense that way. There'll probably be 2-3 more chapters before this story ends so yeah...I need some sleep and sorry for rushing this chapter. Enjoy.
