Runaway (little club)

Chapter 36

Reread previous chapters incase you don't remember that has happened.

Raven pov
Kelly knew everything by the time we arrived back at the castle. It was hard to not explain in the car ride. How angry I was at what happened. How stupid I felt for following him when it was so obvious he had a plan. His plan was to lock me up. Throw away the stupid key and leave me to rot all while he and his stupid brother got away in the end. Kelly remained quiet as I explained the whole story and has been quiet ever since. I glanced at her worriedly. She was sitting on the couch in her room. The kids were asleep in Carly's room. They loved it in there you could see it in their eyes...they just knew. Her hands were covering her mouth as she watched me pace around.

"Say something. Please." I added the please to make her seem like she had a choice but I really needed her to say something before I explode with worry. Fear that I did something wrong. She shook her head.

"I've known Leo for about as long as Carly did-" she cringed at her sisters name.
"I've never seen him do something like this. Purposely putting someone in jail who he knows didn't commit a crime. It's...insane. Crazy even." She finally whispered, hardly meeting eye contact with me.

"I know...but that's what happened. It could be Arthur's influence." I finally muttered. I hated giving people the benefit of the doubt but she's right. Leo would never of done with without believing it. He would need solid proof or-

"Ramona." Kelly finally said, snapping her head up to meet my eyes. She jumped off her bed before leaving her room.

"Kelly...Little Kelly!" I called before following her. I closely followed as we made our way up the stairs and into my moms room...Ramona's room. Kelly firefly shoved things aside and hurriedly grabbed a spell book.

"I thought she put that away years ago." I whispered, hardly able to speak about what I was seeing. There was a small bookmark in one of the pages and we flipped to it.

Memory loss spell.

"She spelled Leo's memory away and then Arthur fed him lies about you."

Leo's pov
Cries escaped my body as I sat in the shower. Nearly fully clothed, I had my jeans on but I had taken my shirt off. My knees pulled closely to my chest as the hot water came down scorching me. Thankfully nobody was home at the moment. My dad was probably out cheating or getting drunk. My mom was with her friends tonight. And Arthur was out doing whatever the hell he usually did.

I walked in just as everybody was leaving and about to do there own thing. I couldn't even look at any of them but o tried to act normal. Remain the same as I have been these past couple days...or weeks. How long has it been? I can't remember much of anything anymore. I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore.

Another scream came out of me as my head finally slammed into the wall and I could feel the soft rushing of blood slide down behind me. Arthur killed little Carly.

But why?

There was a rapid knocking at my door...or was it my window? I couldn't tell. I couldn't bring myself to open it so I just sat there. Hoping for it to finally stop. It did. A sigh of relief escapes me before I heard voices in my bedroom. But I couldn't be bothered to listen to them.

"Leo?" My eyes snapped open at the sound of little Kelly's voice. I tried to speak but I didn't know what to say or how to say it. So I stayed quiet as I heard her call my name a couple more times. Finally the door was just kicked open.

"You're lucky I'm not the one whose going to talk to you." Raven called in before the door shut again. I closed my eyes and leaned my head down between my hands as the curtain was pulled back.

"She's dead little Kelly. She's dead." I cried finally. The tears that I tried to hold back once again resurfaced. I felt her arms go around me and she held me there.

"I know- I know." She whispered, I could hear her voice breaking. She was close to crying as well and I would never blame her if she did. I messed up and I had nobody to blame but myself but that was okay. I deserved it.

"Can you come out and talk with us?" She finally asked after my cries reduced to just soft whimpers. Slowly I nodded before standing. She held my hand through it all.

"Why are you here...holding my hand? Holding me in the shower and getting your clothes soaking wet?" Sighing she reached her hand up to my cheek.

"Because little carly would of wanted me to."

"Okay leo, what do you remember about being in jail?" Raven asked coldly as he paced around the room. I tried to think but everything was like a blur and I couldn't see anything no matter how hard I tried. Little Kelly was sitting beside me, holding my hand gently. She had told me the kids were being taken care of by Ropo and Jack for a little.

"I don't- I don't remember anything." I finally muttered.

"He's useless. This plan is useless." Raven cried out, running his hands through his dark hair again. My eyes were now angled to the floor.

"Leo, I have something I want to try...is that okay?"

"What is it?"

"It's going to help her your memory back."

"Anything. Yes! I'll do it!" I said, gripping her shoulders but the second I did that Raven came over and nudged me away from her. Right. We aren't friends. I took a step back as little Kelly pulled out a spell book.

"How bad is this going to hurt?" I asked hesitantly as she flipped to one of the pages. Raven and her exchanged a glance before looking back at me.

"Depends, how much do you hate yourself right now?"

"A pretty decent amount." I responded with annoyance, not seeing how this was helpful.

"Okay now...take that number and multiple it by 40...2 times." I froze slightly before looking at Kelly. She gave me a sympathetic look.

"It's the only way." Taking a deep breath I nodded.

"Do it."
