The Hearts Between The Darkness (Ross Lynch / R5)

Chapter 16 - "Memories"

"Ross, speak!" The oldest of my siblings said. "Now!"

"Ha..." I didn't know what to say.

A noise comes from the shrubs which were on our right side. We looked at the shrubs and we were little scared when Marli appears, not from where the noise had come but in front of us. Perhaps this scaring thing, I felt so much relived for seeing her. Only she could help me now. She had to do it.

(Marli's POV:)

After my brother disappear somewhere in the forest with his hurry steps, I felt a weird feeling. It was Ross. I felt that he was nervous - I immediately teleported myself.

They were a little scared when I appear. But why the hell they were looking at their right side? – I thought. Although this little scare thing, I think Ross was more relived.

"Marli!" Ross said before give me a small hug. "I'm glad you here! I need you..." He almost whispered the last part.

"What's going on?" I asked low with fear.

"Erase." He said with a serious look at me.

"What?" I asked although I had understood what he means.

"Erase their memories. It has to be. I can't explain them like this and right now."

"Are you sure?"

"What?" Riker asked confused.

"Erase the memory?" Ryland asked.

"I'm sorry. I promise that one day I'll tell you and everything will be fine... but not right now."

"Is this what you really want?" I asked.

"Yes, do it, please. Send them home and make them forget about this trip into the forest."

I noddle and I did it.

"What are you doing?" Riker asked me while I was going to the other side of Ross, so his right side.

"Ross?" Rydel call his brother more scared. "Ross!"

Rydel and Grace were with their arms around each other with fear but still looking at Ross and me. The boys were almost paralyzed without knowing what to do because after all even they know what was about to happen.

"Sorry." He apologized again.

I give my hand to him, he caught it with his and we interlaced our hand together.

I raised my free hand stretching enough my arm, and I constrict it in way to gather invisible strength which runs the bodies. I lowered my hand from the level of my face to the level of my liver and I blew in their direction. It wasn't just a blew; it's a blew that provokes a fresh breeze however warm, soft although weird, calm but cursed, a blew with a melodic darkness that make them hypnotized for some seconds before come back to normal without knowing what happened.

Selected memories erased.

I raised my hand to the level of my face again and this time lean my hand as I was going to touch on someone but I was too far to complete this action. As for teleport the wolves I multiplied myself, I did the same, but this time only with my hand that made each gap between me and Ross's familiars, disappear, because it stretched in the right length for then I teleport them. It was so, so they gone.

I lowered my hand, relaxing it, and so my arm. I look at Ross that is still looking at the place where his siblings and cousin were with a serious and deep look. We still have our hands interlaced; I grip his hand tight to call his attention. He looks at me. He has a sad look. I know he didn't want to ask me to do it but he wanted to resolve the things in other way and protect them. We both said nothing; I take off my hand from his to hug him. He answered immediately my hug as he needed it, I know he needed, as during that little seconds of silence he ask me to hug him and waited until I do it and do I did.
