Lost Memories

Part 4; Chaper 8 - Unfair

(Quick A/N just to say that this AU's Memory is heavily inspired off of SurreallyStressed 's Memory Steve from their fanfic "Remoreful Recollections of the Forgotten Family". I already loved Memory, but this fanfic made me love him even more, and now all of Stressed's Memory's aspects have become my headcanons. So yeah I just needed to give credit where credit was due. Enjoy!)

=Memory's POV=

I teleported off quickly, my hands clenched into shaking fists as tears came to my eyes. Stupid, stupid, stupid!! My mind screamed, What made you think you could even talk to him without something going wrong!?

I nestled into the branches of one of the many mangroves, taking my mask off and finally wiping my tears away. It had been a long week as my father constantly had me work to try and get that stupid group of Steves and humans out of the stupid forest.. I kept trying to fix them onto a path via distractions, but they just kept remembering!

I screamed out in frustration, grabbing at the tree branch in front of me and shaking it violently. I tried to pull off the bark, kick it off, even pluck off a leaf, but nothing. I hated this. I hated my father. I hated having to hurt everyone I'd ever come across. But this is who I was supposed to be, for my father.

This was the right thing to do, right? That's what I was always told. But why did it feel so wrong? I let out another loud sob, this one from frustration. Oh, how much more I could do if I could just destroy things.. I was still before letting out another scream, flailing my limbs a bit as if I was having a childish temper tantrum.

"Hello?" I froze at the voice coming from below me. "Are you okay?" I sat up and pulled my mask on looking down. I was going to erase his memory, but... what if we could have a better conversation if he approached me first?

I slowly climbed down from the tree, stopping when my shoes touched the grass. "Hi there, I'm Sabre. I woke up here a few minutes ago." He quickly explained. "Where are we? What is this place? You're the first person I've seen here."

I took in a slow breath to calm myself, then spoke up. "W-well- uh, to answer your q-questions.. this place is called the Memory D-Dimension.. and you only see me here bec-cause I own this place, b-basically. It's my dimension." I replied. This was so weird, I hated conversation. Why was I even doing this!? Ugh!

"Ohh, makes sense, I guess. What's your name?" He asked. "M-Memory." I replied. He nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Memory. Now I was in a different place with my friends. Can you possibly bring me back there?" He asked. I quickly shoot my head. "No-" I nearly choked out.

"What? Why? I mean I understand if you like actually can't, but I gotta get back to my friends." Sabre raised his voice, causing me to step back. "I won't let you go back!" I shouted, "I can't!" My tone came off in a more hostile manner then I meant it to... oh well, can't change that now..

"Why!?"

"Because I'm supposed to be a bad guy and remove your memories!" I spat, moving to lift my mask. "I was the one who made sure you and your human friends wouldn't remember anything about your past, but you all decided to wander right into my forest!!"

"You- IT WAS YOU!?" Sabre sputtered as I removed my mask, revealing my red eyes to his blue ones. I had previously removed his blindfold during the teleport so I could easily erase his memories.. I don't think he even realized it was gone.

I stomped at the ground. "Yeah, it was me!! It's my fault that all your memories are gone and I don't regret it!! Not one bit!!" My voice cracked, embarrassing, as I took a step back. "Why did you do it, though!? Why did you feel the need to!? Just to toy with us!?" Sabre shouted. He looked angry. I was scared.

My hands quivered as I took another step back, keeping eye contact with the blue-eyed human. "Just blink already!! C'mon!!" I growled. Sabre shook his head. Enough of this.

I jumped and lunged for Sabre, making him look away, and I teleported off immediately, hiding amongst the mangrove trees. I hugged myself tightly.

This wasn't fair.
