Immortal

Memories

Alec and I brought Ezra to a different room as I had no intent of torturing him but the tables had turned a little since the first time we met, now he was the subject of my experiment....

     "Ezra? You awake?" I asked and hopefully it was just a reflex but I got an unexpected punch into the face from him. "Oww! Son of a...." I screamed, man was he strong, Alec was by my side in a flash helping me back to my feet and I suddenly felt relaxed after being quite angry that I just got punched. Alec was using his ability to calm me down, I smiled at him to let him know it was working and then I walked back over to Ezra and gave him a slap across the face, he gave me a look that said what was that for? "You know what that was for; you just punched me in the face." I said. Wow I should be raging now, thank God for Alec or I think Ezra would have gotten a little more than a slap....

     "Okay Ez....Ezra why did you never tell me you felt this way?" I asked. "Because I knew you didn't feel the same, I could sense it when you were around, we were good friends but I knew you never wanted more...." He explained, I felt badly but it was really hard to feel sorry for him right now. "Maybe if you were a little nicer or got to know me as a human like I did with Alec, then maybe turned me for love and not make it out that you're a psycho murderer just playing a game, maybe then I might have felt something for you but that time has passed and you've had hundreds of years, I've moved on and now so should you, so I am going to try something that I never have before," I replied. "What are you going to do now kill me? Because you know, that is not very new to you," he replied with a tone I didn't appreciate in his voice. "No I am going to try to coerce you, another vampire, I have been working on it for quite some time now and I think I may be getting somewhere," I explained. He laughed at this "You really think you can coerce another vampire? Be my guest but I never told you about that because only true vampires can do it so fail if you wish dear because you are no true vampire."

     "Oh really?" I asked with a harsh tone in my voice. I walked up close to Ezra and grabbed the back of his head, stared into his icy eyes and said "punch yourself in the face with all your strength." What? I wanted some payback and what better way to do it? He did it and I have to say I was very pleased with myself. "Who's no true vampire now?" I asked snidely. "But I don't understand how are you a true vampire?  I've been trying for over a thousand years now! You would have to love someone, master all of your abilities, turn someone and I'm sure there is plenty more." "How did you a littlegirl do it before me?" He asked annoyed. "Simple, what do you think I've been doing for a few years here and there every time I left? I've met other vampires that showed me how to do all of these things and with Alec, well he was just plain good luck, I couldn't have met a nicer person and yes that includes you. You can be such an arrogant ass sometimes it drives me crazy." I explained. He looked a little taken aback by this but at this point I didn't care anymore, he had pushed me too far this time by taking Alec.... "So any last words before I make you forget I exist?" I asked. "What? Forget you exist, no, no you cannot do that!" He shouted. But I ignored him and stepped up to start erasing every memory he had of me and Alec....

     "Look into my eyes," I said and he did as he was told. His face relaxed and he went into the dazed state. "Who am I? And what do I mean to you?" I asked. "You are my Lizzy but you do not like being called that, you are Eliza, my best friend and I love you," he replied, oh God he loved me? For someone with such a hard shell it was weird seeing his soft side. "When did you first meet me?" I asked. "One year before I took your father," he replied, that kind of scared me, I had just turned seventeen by then and he was like, God I don't even know I've lost count....he was old. "I want you to forget that day and forget the day you took me and turned me, forget every memory you have of me, you will no longer know I exist and you will also forget Alec ever existed," I said willingly, this was a long shot but I needed to try. And thankfully he replied "I will forget." "Now, who am I and what do I mean to you?" I asked again. "I do not know you, you mean nothing to me," he replied. God now that he actually said it, it was harder to process, my best friend for centuries no longer knew I existed and I meant absolutely nothing to him, I was officially a stranger to him. "Alec, come here," I said and he did. "Who is this man?" I asked. "I do not know, I have never seen him before," Ezra replied again. Okay so it was official, Alec and I could finally have a life together and God only knows what would become of Ezra, I hope the coercing didn't confuse him at all, just in case I better ask him one more question, "who and what are you?" I asked, just to be sure. "My name is Ezra Mason and I am a vampire or some people refer to me as the shadow killer," he replied blankly once again. Good he was still him, he could just go back to being the shadow killer that no one could ever find and everything would go back to normal except one thing....he might have forgotten me but I can't forget him, I love Alec but Ezra was always a big part of my life too....
